90 Day Entice/Brady Nutrition Summer Challenge

We are approaching the end of the St Patty’s challenge.  During the last 6 months, I learned an incredible amount about nutrition, fitness, and myself.  The Shamrock Half-Marathon is on March 16^th and will mark the end of the St. Patty’s Challenge.  I am going to go in for a bod-pod to get some solid body fat numbers, will post all the results, and some of the things I learned by the end of March. 

One of the things I learned, as you can see in my “February is time to pull out all the stops” post  is that wellness, like many other things in life, can come with varying degrees of success.  To stay motivated it is critical to continuously review where you are and where you want to be, take baby steps toward your goals, but most importantly keep things fun.  I set some very small and specific goals for February that cut out beer and tortilla chips. I was very successful.  I attribute this success to those goals being very manageable, supported by my friends and family, and most of all fun since we spent some time finding alternatives for cocktails and snacking.  It would be very easy to let the next few weeks play out and take a break from the rigors of keeping to the St. Patty’s Challenge goals but what fun would that be.

A week ago a good friend of mine, JT of Entice, approached me with an idea. He had been reading my blog, and thought it a perfect time for a nutritional and fitness challenge to get ready for summer.   Right around now most people have forgot about New Year’s Resolutions and are beginning to think toward summer vacations, the beach, and how they look in their bathing suits.  Undoubtedly our minds eye places us in the summer with a physique that is much improved from what we currently have lurking under our winter layers.  A 90 day challenge is the perfect amount of time for a safe and healthy transition to that summer bod.  Getting there will take a little determination and a good combination of nutritional and fitness goals.

JT suggested that if we combined forces, with Entice providing measurable, goal-oriented fitness information and Brady Nutrition providing nutritional information and recipes, we would have just what our readers need to get through the 90 days and come out ready for the beach. 

JT and I have our own specific goals we want to accomplish and during the challenge we will be posting on our progress.  In addition to my regular blog posts, I will also be doing some specific posts relating to challenges you may be having during the 90 days, especially if you are new to a Paleo lifestyle.  Keep your eyes peeled on both blogs as we will be releasing some of the first 90 day challenge posts in a few days to get everyone started.  Let me know if you want to join us on the challenge or if you have any questions about getting started on your way to health and vitality.

Thanks
