Haylen's Group!

Here's our group guys! Please come here to see posts about the challeges, helpful things for OUR goals, and whatever else relating to the challenge!

[thefabfourfitblrs]

Well.

Hey guys, Haylen here.

The girls and I have talked it over and, as much as it hurts, we are going to discontinue posting weekly challenges. The participation levels have dropped severely since the challenge started and it doesn’t seem to make sense to keep it going while no one is participating.

This challenge was a dream come true for me and we have all made so many friends because of it. We encourage you all to keep those friendships alive. Thank you to everyone for participating in the NY2SRC. It has been such a blessing to have you all and get to know everyone.

Just because this challenge is ending, it doesn’t mean that this group is ending. We are far from ending this! We learned a lot from this challenge (I mean it was only our first) and we plan on coming back in the fall with a much better, brand new challenge for everyone to participate in.

We would really appreciate some feedback from you guys! Please let us know what you did and did not like about the challenge and what we can do to improve our future challenges.

Again, I truly want to thank everyone for joining. I hope it helped you guys in some way. Sending so much love to all of you. xx

-Haylen, Kort, Z, and Kay

PS: We will keep this blog as updated and active as possible so you don’t forget about us.

Get Outside!

The challenge this week is rather simple! As the weather begins to improve, try to get Outside a little bit each day.

Set a goal for yourself, 15 minutes outside at least every day? A half hour?

Go on a bike ride, a run, a walk, or just study outside. It’ll be good for you!

Hi guys!!! I hope everyones last week was better than mine since I somehow managed to land myself in the hospital! So leading into this weeks challenge, I’m making it two parts. Part A, take care of yourself! Keep yourself healthy, take vitamins, get in your proper nutients! Of course you cant always avoid being sick, but there are certian precautions you can take. And the second part of your challenge is to do a calming kind of exercise, like a stroll in the park or some yoga. I know exams and stuff are coming up for alot of you and your getting closer to the end of the year, so just take a deep breath and remember you will survive! So good luck to all of you in the next month and what it might bring☺ ☺ ny2src-haylensgroup ny2src-kaylasgroup ny2src-zsgroup

Hello my dears!

This week’s challenge is all about simple happiness!

I am challenging all of you to make a list of things that make you happy! Simple things, big things, whatever it is that makes you happy! Then, at times when things get tough this week and you need something to pep you up, go back to the list and see what things you can do from that list to help you feel better! It may not be a cure for any mental health disorders, but it never hurts to give yourself a boost when you need it!

I want to see all of your lists and how you use them! Pictures or just a list or whatever! Let’s see it!

Many of us have been slacking on the challenges and I would really like us all to get back into participating! The challenge will be over soon, so let’s give it our all!

Have a great week! -Haylen(:

Carpe Diem! SEIZE THE DAY! What does this mean to you?

To me, this means taking advantage of life and doing things I’ve always wanted to do. It means to live life to the fullest and I like to think I do that (don’t we all?!).

Okay, so my challenge to you this week:

Do something or a few somethings that you have always wanted to do but haven’t gotten around to doing for whatever reason. This could be something simple like cleaning out the closet or something BIG like dying your hair or standing up for yourself to someone who maybe doesn’t treat you that well. Whatever it is, do it for YOU and do it because it will make you feel good and happy! :)

Challenge Week: Reflection!

Hi loves! Okay, so lately I’ve been looking to speak out about my sexual abuse. So this week I went to my therapist to talk to her about it and she told me it was a really good idea. So at the end of the session, she asked me to come back in two weeks and tell her how I’ve grown from the first time I saw her, to this last time I saw her.

That’s what I want all of you to do. How have you grown as a person since you all started this challenge? Share with us!

Not only do we want to know how your body has changed, but how have YOU changed as a person?

Since you’ve been getting healthier, have your relationships improved? The more you exercise the better your mood (typically) and naturally it will improve your relationships.

How has your self confidence changed? You should constantly check in with yourself on this because if you’re confidence is lowering, why? Check in with yourself so you can fix the issue. And if you need help, all of us are here.

So this week, check in with yourself once or twice a day, and really reflect on how far you’ve come.

Happy challenge!

[ny2src-kortsgroup]

Hi little bugs! So I’ll be editing this tomorrow but my original post didnt work so here’s a quick explaination of this weeks challenge! Since its a new month in a few days, im making this a 2 part challenge. Part A will be to do an update of your health progress and how much closer you’ve gotten to our goals. Part B will be to go outside and exercise! Take a nice nature walk or do some yoga. And pictures would be cool too! Like i said, ill be rewriting this tomorrow after work but heres the challenge just so you guys know! (: ny2src-haylensgroup ny2src-kaylasgroup ny2src-zsgroup

Happy Spring, guys! Nothing says spring like new things and changing things! Like new flowers blooming and a big seasonal change! Which is perfect timing for this week's challenge! We are basically 3 months into the challenge and it's very easy to get burnt out on your current routine and want to give up. Well, this week, I want you to get excited about things again by changing it up! For this week, I am challenging you guys to TRY NEW THINGS. Whether it's a new recipe you have been wanting to make or a different type of workout you've been thinking about, I'm challenging you to try it! If you have been having a hard time with your mental illnesses, pick up something different that you think might help! Whatever it is that you've been thinking about trying, do it!! Here are some examples to get you thinking: •New recipes •New workout plan or incorporating new exercises/techniques •Trying yoga/meditation •Tracking/stop tracking/changing up intake •Try journaling or drawing or just pick up a new hobby all around As always, we are here if you have any questions. Let's do this!! -Haylen xx ny2src-kaylasgroup ny2src-kortsgroup ny2src-zsgroup

Hey everyone! Kay here with your new weekly challenge!

The past few weeks, we have been all about rekindling our motivation. We are halfway through this challenge and sure, some of us have probably lost some steam and would love to get back at it!

This is a physical challenge, for the fitness aspect of NY2SRC! If for whatever reason you can’t or don’t want to participate (I know many of us have a lot of different goals), then that is completely fine.

My challenge for you is to workout at least one time this week. Whether you take a walk, lift some weights, go to a yoga class, or complete a small workout video on YouTube, try to get some sort of physical activity in! Let us know about it. If it’s been awhile since you have worked out, tell us how you felt afterwards! I know I always feel great after I’ve worked out after awhile of not working out!

As always, let us know if you need anything. We are always here for you!

xoxo

Kay

→ Fruit and Vegetables — (my fruit list depends on season and what’s available) apples, bananas, dates, oranges, melons, limes, onions, potatoes, sweet potatoes, eggplant, tomatoes, avocado, lettuce, cabbage, cucumber, beetroot, capsicum, pumpkin, mung beans. → Grains — bread, bread rolls, jasmine rice, rice noodles, udon noodles, corn pasta, pasta, vitawheat crackers, corn chips„ rice cakes, wholegrain cereal, pita bread, tortillas, cous cous, polenta, quinoa, barley. → Dry Goods — chickpeas, yellow lentils, kidney beans, cannellini beans, green split peas, curry paste, spices, braggs liquid aminos, coconut oil, tinned diced tomatoes, corn kernels, sauerkraut, pasta sauce, salsa, balsamic vinegar, coconut milk, vegetable stock, organic soy milk, rice milk, 80% dark chocolate, cranberries, organic dried mango, pitted dates, shredded coconut, chia seeds, coconut sugar, rice malt syrup, natural peanut butter, cinnamon, muesli, juice, organic green tea. → Cold and Frozen — puff pastry, frozen spinach, frozen organic berries, frozen peas, lemon sorbet, nuttelex, vegan cheese, hummus, olives, dolmades and vegan pesto. → Household and Bathroom — (ensure all products are not tested on animals and are vegan friendly) multipurpose spray, scourer, bi carb soda, environment/vegan friendly washing powder, shampoo and conditioner, fluoride free toothpaste, neem picks, organic cotton tampons, bamboo toothbrush and aluminum free deodorant.

Shopping Tips — • Never go shopping while hungry • Roughly plan your meals for the week, know what you’re buying and what it’s going to make • Shop via the sales/specials, shop around and find the best prices • Buy in season, local fruit and vegetables • Write a list • Buy dry goods in bulk

I am so blissed out when my pantry is full and we have a variety of meals available! About to get fruity with some fresh melon, I hope this post is helpful ✿

Motivation Week!

Hello everyone, it’s Z once again with another challenge for you!

Getting this far in to the challenge, some of us might be starting to lose hope… Either we aren’t seeing results or we aren’t seeing the results we want or its just getting plain hard.

All of these feelings are normal, loves! I promise! But I’m here to help you get back on your feet this week.

So my challenge to you this week is to find some motivation and share it.

Do you have a piece of clothing you want to fit in to? Do you have quotes that keep you going and keep you inspired? I want to hear about them!

And if you’re feeling extra motivated, how about a DIY project?!

A motivation wall! How fun is that? So fun! I have one of my own that I will share with you, and it’s my whole wall but yours doesn’t have to be of course. Maybe even just keep a notebook of inspiration and motivation, or create a poster board. I’ll share mine to give you some of your own ideas. Good luck babes!
