Member highlights from our latest Wellness Kick Start!

After a month of eating six cups of veggies, half of your bodyweight in ounces of water, getting 7+ hours of sleep, moving your body, and a few bonus challenges in between, what were the results?? Daybreakers share their mental, physical and emotional changes, and what contributed to their success!

About Pancho

Gain: I’m down between 10-11 pounds. I sleep like a rock and feel so good every morning. The jeans I once bought to make up for the weight I put on (you know, the COVID-15) are now baggy on me. It took me a bit of the challenge to finally notice a change in performance at the gym, but I really felt it during the last few weeks

What Worked: I work really well in absolutes- the Wellness challenge said no preservatives, and Mel said if you can’t find it naturally in nature, don’t eat it. And I didn’t. It drove Michael crazy.

This challenge worked well for me because it already complimented my existing eating habits with limitations/additions (more water, no sugar, no alcohol) and I didn’t have to obsess about counting macros etc.
And I love the Triib log as a community platform to show support to folks on their progress.
Moving Forward: I plan to continue with the February maintenance challenge, with some allowances of preservatives and minimal sugar (1 meal per week).

About Kristin

Gain: I struggled with sugar withdrawal headaches for the first week or so, but after that subsided I started feeling much better.  I might have lost a pound or two, but the biggest change was in workout performance.  I’m able to push harder, even on stuff that usually kills me like the bike and wall balls.

What Worked: I had been counting macros through the late summer and fall, so some of the challenge points were extensions of those habits (protein at each meal, limited processed food, etc.). The challenge was a good re-set for some of the bad habits that crept in over the holidays.  Seeing all the Daybreakers rack up the points was motivating for me.  The top competitors were almost perfect with their nutrition!  Congrats to all!

Moving Forward:  I’m planning to continue some of the things that helped me during the challenge, like drinking more water, eating more veggies, and sleeping enough.  But I’ll allow some treats back in (in moderation, of course) like wine, chocolate, and Doritos.  And Twizzlers (which are fruit).
