Hey Chicks!!<\/span><\/p>\n

–<\/p>\n

I am a super bummed today! We have been so excited about launching our first 28 Day Pedometer Challenge on Sept 13th only to be struck with some probs with the peddy’s – darn technology!\u00a0We would\u00a0never launch a program unless we felt 100% that it would be a fab fitness experience for our chicks.\u00a0 So the bad news is we have had to postpone the challenge BUT the GREAT NEWS is that we are getting waaaaay better, upgraded pedometers\u00a0and will launch with a bang on\u00a0Monday, October 4th – yay!<\/strong> So, chicks you still have time to join in on the fun and sign up to step up a storm with us in October.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/p>\n

This situation actually brought up some interesting things for me personally<\/strong>.\u00a0 I\u00a0always want everyone to be happy and don’t like negative feelings \/ situations (who does?!).\u00a0 More than anything, I can’t stand feeling like I am disappointing a friend\/chick\/family…pretty much anyone.\u00a0We can never fully avoid negative situations – they are part of life- but the interesting part for me is how my body reacts when I don’t feel right about something.<\/span><\/p>\n

–<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

In my life, I make a lot\u00a0of my decisions based on my gut reaction<\/strong> (well except that I still sometimes cross reference with the Magic 8 Ball but that is an entirely different blog post!).\u00a0 I am pretty in tune with my feelings so when I don’t feel right about a\u00a0situation or person –\u00a0either personally of professionally- it is<\/strong> my bodies way of saying\u00a0“Chick, open your eyes cuz this ain’t right!”<\/strong> To this point in my life, I can honestly say it has rarely steered me wrong and has kept me surrounded with amazing, supportive peeps and a business that I\u00a0absolutely love. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

–<\/p>\n

I\u00a0woke up the morning of the challenge feeling like I had a pit in my stomach.<\/strong> I had tested some peddy’s again that had been working and started getting wonky responses on them.\u00a0 Next thing you know, my body started going into the RED FLAG MODE<\/strong> which usually consists of the following:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Icky knot in my tummy<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Prickly hot face<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Skittish and eating mindlessly aka trying to get rid of the icky knot in my tummy<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

–<\/p>\n

I did not want to cancel the challenge as\u00a0I did not want to disappoint our chicks, but also LOVE the idea of this challenge sooo much that\u00a0I did not want to chance any of our chicks potentially not getting the full experience.\u00a0 What to do?!<\/strong> No Magic 8 ball in sight so I called Mama J<\/a> for a chat.\u00a0 She reconfirmed what I thought – be honest<\/strong> with your chicks and hold off until the new peddy’s arrive.\u00a0 As soon as she said it, I knew it was right and magically, all my reg flag mode systems disappeared! Our chicks are still pumped, we have awesome new pedometers en route and all in the land of FC is well<\/strong> – crisis averted!<\/span><\/p>\n

–<\/span><\/p>\n

\"gut\"<\/a>

listen to your gut, Chicks!<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

–<\/p>\n

Moral of the blog post? LISTEN TO YOUR GUT!<\/strong> There is actually a second “brain” in your tummy<\/span><\/a> that is there to guide you.\u00a0 Sometimes it may not make sense or you may need a sounding board to chat through (Thanks, Mom!) but if your bod is telling you something – good or bad- DON’T IGNORE IT!<\/strong> It may not immediately make sense to you\u00a0why your body is reacting this way but you have been given these feelings \/ reactions for a reason.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

–<\/p>\n

So chicks next time you feel a little twinge in your gut, take a sec and pay attention – it could save you a lot of time, stress, drama (or lead you on the path of your dreams and some sweet new pedometers!)<\/strong> in the future!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Stay tuned for more info on the 28 Day Pedometer Challenge!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

–<\/p>\n

Have a fab day,<\/span><\/p>\n

Laura, Your Head Chick xo<\/span><\/p>\n
