Find a friend or sister and keep each other<!--more--> accountable!<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a few people who are traveling\/camping during the month of August. I remember when I did the challenge last year I did a fair amount of travel as well\u2026that\u2019s when I brought my <a title=\"Vega\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1cmDlEm\" target=\"_blank\">Vega Smoothie<\/a> or a protein shake and substituted that for an actual blender smoothie\u2026or else I hopped into a smoothie shop along the way. Me and <a title=\"Booster Juice\" href=\"http:\/\/boosterjuice.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Booster Juice<\/a> are buddies.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4706\" alt=\"Charissa and her Smoothie Obsession\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/photo-3-433x600.jpg\" width=\"433\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/photo-3-433x600.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/photo-3.jpg 781w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 433px) 100vw, 433px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Last year, I started the challenge because I wanted to kickstart my month into one of those \u201cfocused\u201d months. You know, when you have a few specific goals and you go CRAZY to achieve them.<\/p>\n<p>For those of you who are doing the challenge with me, I want you to set some goals too, and then \u2013 GO GET THEM! Let\u2019s make August a bit on the awesome side!<\/p>\n<p>Here are my goals!<\/p>\n<p>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Have one smoothie a day (probably as a meal replacement)<br \/>\n2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Do 3-5 SUPER SWEATY workouts weekly<br \/>\n3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Time spent with God daily<br \/>\n4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Do a 5 day cleanse with <a title=\"Philosophie Detox\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thephilosophie.com\/collections\/cleanses\/products\/5-day-cleanse-for-weight-loss-and-cleansing\" target=\"_blank\">Philosophie<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Those are my physical\/spiritual goals\u2026so often, we focus on just the body and it\u2019s so IMPORTANT to spend quality time with God daily. It\u2019s something I\u2019m really trying to work on getting more of. I\u2019ve been going through <a title=\"She Reads Truth\" href=\"http:\/\/shereadstruth.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">She Reads Truth<\/a> Bible studies and I love doing them in the morning.<\/p>\n<p>I also have a few \u201cto-do\u201d goals I want to achieve.<\/p>\n<p>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Become officially certified with Group Fitness (Ahhh! This one is exciting!)<br \/>\n2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Become the most organized person in the world (JK \u2013 however, I\u2019m working on decluttering and figuring out a new planning system for my life\/blog\/work)<br \/>\n3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Get better at driving standard (Oh my word. We\u2019ll see. I kind of just see myself rolling down hills and running into people)<\/p>\n<p>There are other things on my list too\u2026and I\u2019m going to take a big piece of paper and a Sharpie, write it out, and MAKE IT HAPPEN. If you\u2019re doing this too, be sure to hang it up somewhere you will see it all the time! Maybe your fridge, bathroom mirror, or beside your bed\/desk\u2026keep your goals at the forefront of your mind.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4731\" alt=\"Set your goals and go after them\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/photo51-510x510.jpg\" width=\"510\" height=\"510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/photo51-510x510.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/photo51-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/photo51-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/photo51.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Maybe you might want to make a vision board for August (see my <a title=\"Vision Board\" href=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/2011\/12\/29\/setting-new-years-goals-and-keeping-yourself-motivated\/\" target=\"_blank\">inspiration board<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1770\" alt=\"Vision Boards 01\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Vision-Boards-01-510x340.jpg\" width=\"510\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Vision-Boards-01-510x340.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Vision-Boards-01-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Vision-Boards-01.jpg 1620w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now onto some questions I&#8217;ve gotten&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can we Instagram (using the hash tag) pictures of our smoothies or will you only accept twitter entries?
