It takes 21 days to establish a healthy habit but 90 days to create a healthy lifestyle. I’m sharing this post because it is a truth I have come to really understand as I have taken this wellness journey with my family.
I have tried weight loss programs, fitness regimens, crash diets, meal replacement shakes, exercise routines…you name it, I’ve probably given it a go! I have had various levels of success with all of these strategies but unfortunately, none of them resulted in lasting success. The minute I came to the end of the new routine, the weight came back. I realized that while I may have formed healthy habits, I had not established a lifestyle that I could maintain.
It was about 2 years ago that I stumbled upon TerraFit…a program created by a member of my doTERRA team. This program combined nutrition, exercise, supplementation and weight loss strategies…everything that I had previously tried in part but never as a whole. It focused on understanding food choices, reteaching our bodies how to process this food and then supporting the body in its natural ability to utilize the nutrition and maximize results. Workouts could be done at home at times convenient for us. It sounded intriguing and I figured I’d tried everything else so why not?
My husband and I both committed to the program 2 years ago with the 90-day challenge. I put together a team of 3 of our friends to make a total of 5 and we jumped in with both feet! The first week or two was really hard…I won’t lie to you…trying to figure out what we could eat and HOW to eat was quite a challenge since we were not the healthiest of eaters. Exercises did not seem strenuous at first but we quickly realized how efficient they were when we battled some soreness afterwards after what initially appeared to be a breezy workout! But fast forward to the end of the challenge…we won several prizes, my husband lost 30 lbs and I lost 12lbs…both of us accomplished our goals but more importantly, we FELT GREAT! More physical strength, mental clarity, and overall energy were just a few of the side benefits of our new lifestyle. But more importantly, we learned how to keep the weight off, feel better and successfully changed not only our eating HABITS but created a LIFESTYLE that reprogrammed our taste buds and allowed our bodies to function at a much more efficient level. This was more than “weight loss”…this was “wellness gained”!
Have I peaked your interest?
GOOD!
I began this journey as a mere participant. But I am now returning to the program as a coach! And I want to give you the gift of lasting health that was given to me! So let me get to the details of the program…
You would either join my teams or create your own. You have access to 24/7 facebook support with your group and can uplift, inspire and encourage one another throughout the 90 days. We share recipes, exercise tips, recovery tips, and friendship! It is a competition. At first, that was intimidating. But once I realized that you are able to be competitive, no matter your goals, I was very encouraged! You gain points for eating healthy foods in healthy intervals throughout the day as well as staying hydrated. You lose points for unhealthy food choices. You earn points for 30 or more minutes of exercise daily as well as for observing 2 rest days a week. Yes, you earn points for REST! That is an oftentimes overlooked part of healthy recovery from workouts. You gain bonus points for using natural products and essential oils supplements to assist your body in its natural functions. Then, of course, there are your weight loss points.
All of your progress is tracked online through your daily journal entries. There is an individual contest going on as well as a team contest. Weekly prizes are awarded to winning team members for that week, winning individuals for points, and winning individuals for weight loss points. These weekly awards are $25 gift certificates which can be used online at Oil Life. At the end of the challenge you are eligible to win the best before/after…you submit a before picture as well as an after picture to be eligible for these prizes. The person with the most points at the end of the challenge will also win a grand prize cash award!
Not ready for competition but wanting the healthy mentorship, accountability and encouragement of a team? No problem! There is a path for you as well! You would still have access to all the tools but you would not have to opt into the competition.
Interested??
Good!
