The Golden Habits Challenge: January 2025

In 2025, we’re going to clean up your lifestyle, fix your metabolism and clear your head.

If you really want to change your life, you have to start by changing your habits. You become the things that you do. We want you to improve your life by doing the RIGHT things without thinking about them.

And we’re going to do it together. Because change is hard, we’re going to support you with coaching and a peer group like only WOTOWN can.

This is the Golden Habits Challenge:

0 Sweet Treats
0 Alcohol
60 minutes of movement daily.
250 words of journaling daily

None of these habits are easy. The first few days without extra sugar are going to be a challenge. And that’s why we’re going through it together. We can leverage the power of the group for accountability.

The biggest barrier to success will be in your own head. To help, we’ve added a price and a prize.

First, the challenge costs $110 (2 payments of $55). REGISTER HERE. The price is there to get you coaching, but mostly to hold you accountable. It’s just barely costly enough for you to take it seriously. But you can do it: bet on yourself.

Second, tracking. You’re going to record your success every day on a simple pen-and-ink tracking sheet. You’ll post this on your refrigerator or somewhere else in your home.

Third, the prize: the golden WOTOWN t-shirt. You can’t buy these: you have to earn them. You earn one by hitting 90% compliance (or 108 checked boxes) on your tracking sheet.

Fourth, the future: at the end of the challenge, you’ll sit down with your coach, look at your Habits tracking, and get your next steps.

FAQ

When does this run?
January 20 – Feb 20, 2025.

What results should I see by the end?
You’re probably going to lose a couple of pounds. You’ll definitely feel sharper. And you’ll gain resilience: you’ll have made it through something tough.
But more importantly, you’ll have a running start at a habit that you might keep forever. When I gave up sweets to improve my performance in the gym, it felt like a big sacrifice to say “no” to sweets all spring. But that was over a year ago. Now I’m 14lbs lighter, far fitter and I don’t really care about sweets.
You don’t have to commit to giving up alcohol and treats forever. But if you do it for 30 days, you’ll be through the worst part, and then you can decide what to do next. Diets aren’t sustainable; that’s why they don’t work. Habits are sustainable forever.
If you don’t drink alcohol, no worries. We can give you another habit.

What support will we get?
You’ll get daily tips and knowledge through a private Facebook group. You’ll also get support from Coach Michelle, as well as the other challenge participants.
