EA Sports Active 6 Week Challenge Completed

This past week I completed my 6 week challenge with the EA Sports Active More Workouts fitness product for the Wii. The challenge began the week before Thanksgiving and ran through New Year’s Eve. Talk about a challenge!! Last year during that same time period, I gained 10 lbs. This year in spite of 3 holidays, a trip with my husband, several holiday parties, lots of holiday cookies and a crazy chaotic schedule, I lost 6 lbs and 5.5 inches over the holidays. It was definitely due to the 6 week challenge. I am so excited and thrilled with the results I got.

I worked out at least 4 times per week and I watched what I was eating. I did not diet and I did not deprive myself when I was at parties or traveling. I really didn’t think it was possible to lose weight during the holidays and not feel deprived. I proved to myself that it is possible. Losing weight is always great, but I noticed a lot of other benefits from the 6 week challenge:

• I slept much better and I didn’t wake up feeling tired.
• Felt more energetic.
• My clothes fit much better.
• I wasn’t as hungry all the time and I craved more healthy foods.
• My family was more active this holiday season than in the past.

My final vlog post for my EA SPORTS Active 6 week challenge:

Now that the New Year is upon us, I am starting my 2nd round of the 6 week challenge and I am going to track all the foods that I eat and keep my calorie intake to no more than 1500 each day. I know with that combination, I’ll be back down to my desired weight in no time.

How did your 6 week challenge go? Tell me all about it!!
