These 5 areas are the building blocks of our health and fitness and the quality of our lives. If we want to improve our health, we will take measurable steps to improve one or more of these categories.
Each day this week we’ll give you details and examples of habits you can focus on to improve each of these categories!
Day 1: EAT
We all know that what we consume is the foundation of our fitness. Oftentimes we tell ourselves, “I try to eat healthy” but we don’t have any tangible habits or goals to make sure we’re on the right track.
What gets measured gets improved, so here are some examples of habits you can measure to improve your eating habits.
- Create a weekly meal plan
- Prepare (# of meals) for the week
- Eat meals w/o a screen
- Eat vegetables w/ every meal
- No dessert after meals
- No snacks in between meals
- Eat protein at every meal
- Eat healthy fats at every meal
- Drink (# oz) water every day
- Limit alcohol to (# drinks) per week
- Spend only ($ amt) on alcohol monthly
- Limit fast food restaurants to (# times) per month
- Eat at restaurants (# times) per month
- Reduce soda intake to (# times) per week
- Track macros (# times) per week/month
- Take vitamins daily
- Buy produce from a farmers market (# times) per month
Which one of those habits stands out to you?
Each of these habits is measurable, so if you start tracking your behavior today you can measure your progress over the next 90 days.
Your task: pick one habit for the next 90 days. Create a way to track your behavior. Use an excel spreadsheet, app on your phone, or a check box on your calendar.
Tomorrow, we’ll talk about habits in the MOVE category.
