12 Month Healthy Habit Program

At the beginning of July, I decided to begin a 12 month Healthy Habit Program. Each month, I will focus on 1 healthy activity. The plan is that focusing on 1 activity per month will allow enough time to make it a habit. Then, the next month, I will add a new healthy goal to focus on. HOPEFULLY the previous goal will now be a habit, so I won't NEED to focus on it. Some of the goals that I want to focus on are:

1.       Increase fruit intake

2.       Increase veggie intake

3.       Cardio  

4.       Strength training

5.       Improve sleep

6.       Reduce stress

7.       Floss

8.       Increase healthy recipes

9.       Decrease sweets/make them more healthy

10.   Decrease T.V. time

11.   Decrease the amount of alcohol I drink

12.   Monthly breast exams

13.   Increase “lifestyle” activity level

14.   Decrease sodium intake

For July, I chose cardio. My goal is to do cardio 3 times a week for at least 30 minutes per time. And the odd part is, my July goal started while we are on vacation... and I still did well! And since then it has been going well too!

Another positive thing that came out of vacation is... Bruce & Kristi decided to start making healthy lifestyle changes! It makes me so happy that we as a family are talking about healthy eating and exercising! We will be happy & healthy together!
