Thank you to all of the amazing women who took the first step towards making some personal changes to better yourselves and push your comfort zones by entering the “Finding Your 2.0” Challenge presented by Samantha Sauve Designs in the summer issue of STRONG! We have read about some incredible stories that have truly touched us, and made us so proud of you for taking this next step into your new life. I do believe we can all be better and that there is always more to explore and accomplish!
I want to help you become stronger—mentally, physically and emotionally—and whether you realize it or not, if you’ve entered the Challenge you already have just by putting yourself out there and sharing your hardships. In doing so, you can really see where you were at and where you want to grow.
Some of you may have wanted to apply to our Challenge but didn’t feel quite ready. That’s okay! The team at Samantha Sauve Designs wants to encourage you to start your journey in a way that’s manageable for you, even with what might seem like a small step. Take a before picture in the mirror, for your eyes only, and write your story in your own personal journal to process and reflect on each day.
Or, consider some additional tools that could help you get to a more comfortable starting point for something like a Challenge.
Right now, our STRONG family can secure our wellness books, which offer two different meal plans, at 50 percent off. Our first book, Bye Bye Bloat, is a 14-day detox to help you shed the first seven to 10 pounds of water weight to give you a visible result that can encourage you to keep going with a solid plan of action. Our second book, Sip Savour Success, is a lifestyle program that will help you continue your journey and teach you how to balance your plates and live a lifestyle of health and wellness, without ever feeling deprived. You will feel like I’m with you every step of the way—from when you wake up, until you get to bed for the night—because as an athlete and Coach, I know the value of having support along the way. I also know how important it is to start viewing your day-to-day life differently (like ditching old eating habits and embracing wholesome clean foods).
Fueling ourselves right and feeling good on the inside allows us to shine on the outside. We’ll really rock anything we choose to wear! And once you’re ready to get there, take advantage of our additional special offer for STRONG: Get one piece of clothing from Samantha Sauve Designs at 50 percent off! Choose an item that encourages you to step out of your comfort zone and into your 2.0!
I can’t wait to share the transformation and journey of our Challenge winner soon! Stay tuned to social media for updates, and look for the feature right here in the January/February issue of STRONG!
