Cravings

Cravings — those intense desires to eat a particular food. Cravings can sure throw off the best made plans to eat right and stay on track ~ especially during the holiday season when sweets and treats seem to be everywhere.

So what can you do when one hits?

A Goal Without a Deadline is Just a Dream

Set your goals in motion and create a countdown calendar.

Try out this success strategy used by the Fit Yummy Mummy’s when we start a new transformation challenge. This is a great way to track not only the progress you are making, but it also helps you stay focused.

You not only know when you will workout – you will be prepared!
During the holidays this is a super helpful strategy for you can effectively plan around the travel and events to be sure you do not get off track.

Creating a visual countdown also makes you more mindful of the choices you make each day, knowing you have X amount of days before you try on  your results bikini for example, is a great motivator.

Plus, creating a countdown calendar is FUN!

Start by counting backwards from the start of your fat loss and body shaping goals. You can use any type of calendar – as shown in my Summer Slim Down calendar above, you can even use post its (which is a popular choice among the Fit Yummy Mummy’s).

Here are a few more examples of Countdown Calendars FYM’s created for the 21 Day Holiday Hottie Challenge.

The first one is mine…made with the help of Alexander.
