Sunday: Welcome to Week 4!
Hello, and welcome to Week 4 of the Rainbow challenge you made it.
This is our chance to finish Strong, and whether you have been steadily working along through each module and checking off all the boxes, or maybe it hasn’t been as smooth as you would like it to be. Either way. I want you to celebrate the fact that you’re still here and you’re hanging in there. It’s not about perfection. It’s always about the progress that you made, and that is worth celebrating.
This week we’re going to focus on continuing to build on all the colorful habits that we have created so far.
And we’re going to do it a little bit differently. I’m going to give you an option. Think of it as a choose your own adventure. You have 2 choices.
Option number one is to do a rewind. You can go back to any module or any step from week 1, 2, or 3 to explore it a little bit more. Maybe you never quite dialed in your breakfast veggies. Maybe you’re still experimenting with soups and smoothies and blending, or maybe you’re still trying to perfect that balance plate, whichever option you want, go ahead and double down on that this week.
Option number 2.
You can do the eat, the rainbow, Bingo.
if you have been cruising through, or maybe you’re just feeling really good about where you’re at, and you just want to sort of hang out here. That’s cool, too.
The Bingo game is a fun, interactive way to keep up the momentum while we continue to build and reinforce the habits. And you know it’s a little silly. It’s a little fun. But hey? Why not so either way, whichever option, whichever path you choose.
you can take time to make sure that you’re planning ahead. So stocking up, maybe making sure that you’re getting all the ingredients that you need planning ahead, prepping ahead if you have to do some chopping, roasting, batch, cooking, whatever you need to do to make your mornings, afternoons and evenings as smooth sailing as possible. Remember setting yourself up for success means that
current you is doing a favor for future you. So that future of you has an easier time. So this is the last week we have together to explore and experiment and have fun.
But it doesn’t have to be our last week, if you felt like this was a good starting off point, feel free to repeat these modules or any portion of these modules at any point, to reinforce what you’re learning. Remember it is about progress and not perfection. We want to make sure that this is sustainable change that you can do and carry forward.
So remember, this week is about celebrating.
It’s about doubling down and rewinding, or about having some fun with it, and doing the Bingo card, no matter what you do, you are taking steps to really hone in on eating with diversity, eating a ton of color, feeding that microbiome, reducing inflammation, improving your metabolic health.
improving your hormonal balance all that good stuff. And I am so proud of you for all the hard work and the intention that you have put behind this program. So let’s finish strong this week, and whether you choose option one or option 2. You’ve got this. You’ve come this far. This is going to be a snap, so enjoy the rest of the week. I will see you soon.
For the final week of the Rainbow Challenge Course, there are a couple paths to choose from:
- Go back to a previous module you didn't get time to finish or fully work through OR
- Play Eat the Rainbow Bingo and see how many bingo spaces you can cross off
We want to acknowledge that everyone works at their own pace, and say again (because it’s super important!) that it takes time and energy to commit to changing your diet. So if you’ve been following along but feel like you could use some more time working through a previous module, that’s a great choice!
And if you’re someone who has flown through the last 3 weeks, then Bingo (which draws heavily from previous modules’ goals but adds some new goals), may be a fun way to keep the momentum going!
