5 tips for staying on track and smashing through week 3

Getting fitter and stronger, staying active or keeping up your motivation can be a challenge but youโ€™ve made it this far, so donโ€™t give up now.

5 tips for staying on track and smashing through week 3

Research shows that weight loss plans can fall by the wayside within two weeks so sticking with it for the third and beyond means your chances of success skyrocket. Hooray! Alicia Whitbread, who has lost over 4st. on theย 28 Day Weight Loss Challenges,ย has shared her top tips on how to stay on track during your weight loss journey for week 3.

5 ways toย stay on track and smash week 3!

Alicia says,ย โ€œDid you know that doing something for 28 โ€“ 30 days ingrains the brainโ€™s neural pathways, which sounds like mumbo jumbo, but it means you are likely to keep up behaviour because you work moreย onย autopilot.โ€

โ€œSo how do weย stayย onย trackย and smash our fitness goals for weekย 3? Hereโ€™s howโ€ฆโ€ย 

1. Be smart

Be SMART about your goals this week (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, time bound) decide what you want to achieve, look at your time frame, pick a path to get there and have an understanding of what it takes to achieve your goals. The key point for weekย 3 and 4 is to set realistic expectations for yourself.

2. Treat yourself

Treat yourself, youโ€™ve beenย onย trackย for the last 3 weeks and you are nearly at the end of the challenge, what goals have you achieved and how will you praise your amazing efforts?

3. Be accountable

Smashing your goals is preparation and a lot of hard work. The hardest part is always getting that active wearย onย and making a start.

4. Stay hydrated

Keep up your fluids, water maintains the health and integrity of every cell in the body and coming into summer and in periods of exercise our water loss increasesโ€ฆso DRINK UP!

5. Believe in yourself

Borrow a page from your kids books that says โ€˜I think I canโ€™. When your will power runs low, it sounds cheesy, but you CAN do this you just need to believe in yourself.

Aliciaโ€™s 4st. weight loss story

Alicia isย new to theย 28 Day Weight Loss Challengeย but after signing up she says she was instantly โ€˜hookedโ€™ and signed up for anotherย six months.

โ€œI was getting bored with my exercise and with food,”ย ย Alicia says.ย โ€œI had lost 4st. but had hit a plateau. The scales were not moving and my body was used to my current exercise plan.โ€

But thenย Alicia found theย 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge!

โ€œI love theย amazing exercises and inย three weeks I lost an additional 2 inches just off my tummy,โ€ย she says.

โ€œNot to mention having access to an incredible list of recipes to switch up my snacks and keep my diet not only tasty, but exciting.”

โ€œIt hasnโ€™t just helped me, my 3 year old tells me she is exercising now and my hubby and 22 month old beg for Healthy Mummy snacks. How could I not sign up for more months with access to all this in the palm of my hand?โ€
