As we head deeper into the week, here’s your reminder: You are in control and not your cravings, not your emotions, not the old patterns that used to run the show. And one of the most powerful ways to stay in control is by speaking to yourself with intention. Not silently. Not just “thinking positive.” But speaking the words out loud. Say things like: “I’m in control today.” “I choose balance.” “I’m not reacting, I’m deciding.” “I can handle whatever the day throws at me.” When you talk to yourself this way — out loud —your emotions settle, your impulses quiet down, and your decisions become clearer.

Midweek momentum starts with how you talk to yourself. One of the biggest shifts you can make — especially in December — is how you speak to yourself. Not just your thoughts. Not just journaling. I’m talking about speaking out loud. Telling yourself who you are. Who you’re becoming. And what you expect from yourself today. It sounds too simple to be true, but it’s a game-changer. Positive self-talk spoken out loud helps align your actions with the version of you you're working toward…especially when you’re in the middle of a workout, struggling with food choices, or navigating stress. When you speak it, you believe it. When you believe it, you act on it. So today, try this: 👉 Say one sentence out loud about the person you’re becoming. Confidence. Strength. Discipline. Presence. Self-control. Pick the one that fits.

Strong start yesterday. Today we build on it. Every choice you make today reinforces the identity you’re stepping into —not the one you’re leaving behind. Don’t overthink the day. Keep it simple: protein, fiber, steps, hydration, and staying present with your decisions. You don’t need motivation. You just need to show up for yourself with the same mindset that got you here.

Before we step into a new month, take a moment to recognize what you’ve built through these last three challenges: - real weight loss - inches down - stronger habits - more energy - better sleep - better control around food - and a healthier, more confident version of yourself These results didn’t come from perfection. In fact, they came from showing up, staying present, and choosing growth over guilt. For those who have been fully engaged, the progress speaks for itself.And for those who’ve been watching from the sidelines… this is your reminder that you can absolutely do this too. The structure, support, and momentum are already here, you just have to step in and use it.
