MEAN GIRLS FITNESS CHALLENGE! YOU READY!? 📓💖

It's October 3rd...

Okay, so technically, it's October 5th, but for the sake of this Mean Girls challenge, we're pretending it's still the 3rd! Because guess what? It’s also the 20th anniversary of the iconic Mean Girls movie! 👑💕 You know I couldn’t let that pass without dropping a fitness challenge that’ll have you feeling like Regina George herself—but with less sabotage and more gains.

I’ve spent some extra time making this challenge perfect, because you deserve nothing less than the best. So yeah, I’m a day late, but I promise it was worth the wait. Ready to get fierce, fit, and fetch? Get in, loser, we’re working out! 💅💪

"The Plastics" Fasting Routine – 16:8 Method

We’re kicking this off with the ultimate discipline test: the 16:8 fasting method. It sounds scary, but girl, it’s really not. You’re basically fasting while you’re asleep, so most of the work is done for you. Just stop eating at 8 PM and start again at 12 PM the next day—simple. We’re using the the Litely app to track fasting hours and stay on top of water intake. @Litely

Why we’re fasting:

+ Boosts fat burn 🧨

+ Increases discipline 🧘‍♀️

+ Gives your digestive system a break 🧖‍♀️

🧈 "Is Butter A Carb?"

Let’s clear this up once and for all. Butter isn’t a carb, but do you know what sneaky stuff is hiding in the food you eat? That’s why we’re using the Food Scanner in the Litely app to scan anything you’re about to eat during this challenge. Find out if it’s helping or hurting your progress. Because like Regina, we don’t want any surprises.

Scan it, and Litely will spill the tea on what’s helping or hurting your fitness progress. No more surprises.
