Week One Update!

Hi challengers!!

Terribly sorry to do this on the first week of the challenge - but I'm on leave and was in such a panic to get everything finished at work that I forgot to email all the challenge data to my home email - it's all on the computer at work (I dont have exel on my home puter)!!

So the graph will be updated and available to view on Monday morning when I get in to work... However - that doesnt stop me from giving you the motivational spiel!!

How did you find the first week? Did you achieve what you had hoped to?
Do you know what, it really doesnt matter if you ticked all the boxes or even half of them... this first week about getting used to the challenge and giving you an idea of what you need to do or how much effort you need to put in going forward.
It’s a starting point that will help you get a feel for how easy or difficult your challenges really are and to give you a benchmark to improve on in the coming weeks.

If you don't feel that you achieved the results you had hoped for or are feeling a bit disappointed in your efforts – you should take a moment to clear those negative thoughts from your head and instead you should be extremely proud of yourself for taking the first steps towards creating some great lifestyle habits.

One important thing to note about the progress graph is that it is based on your WEEKLY GOALS ONLY. There are a few of you who have something that they wish to achieve over the course of the challenge (eg. 4 x date nights within the 8 weeks / finishing a book within the timeframe / going out with friends once a month). You will get a special mention in the weekly spiel - and of course a glowing sense of pride - when you achieve these goals

So now you know what needs to be done, what will week 2 have in store for you??
Push yourself to improve on week one and see what sort of results you can get. Remember that as this is a PERSONAL CHALLENGE you are the only person who will fully reap the benefits of your efforts.

Have a fantastic week and apologies again for not being able to get the graph up immediately. I will have it available asap :)

Have a great week everyone!!
