Team Monthly Challenge (Goals) for November 2023
Congratulations Team for those who joined me and completed your goals for the Month of October. Good Job!
Tomorrow we are beginning a brand new month of Team Goals. We are looking at healthy eating and exercising during the holiday; thinking of Thanksgiving.
Mayo Clinic offers practical tips for planning during the Holidays to Stay Healthy by Eating Right and Staying Active!
Disrupting healthy routines around the holidays can have a negative impact on your health.
Before you get together or sit down for a festive meal, have a plan.
"If it's a buffet style, choose the smaller plate, don't go for the large dinner plate, go for a salad plate," says Dr. Presutti. "And that gives you sort of the visual perception that you're filling the plate, although it'll be less calories."
Reach for more vegetables, take sips of water between bites and slow down how fast you're eating to help feel fuller and less fatigued after the meal.
Next, find ways to exercise.
"Look for opportunities to go for a walk, look for an opportunity to share some gym equipment," says Dr. Presutti.
A restful night's sleep is important, too.
Whether traveling across time zones or entertaining guests in your home, pay attention to when it's time to turn in.
"That will lead to you feeling better during the day, not being tired and being able to really jump into all the activities that the holidays might have to offer for you," says Dr. Presutti.
Healthy Tips
1. Keep up healthy habits.Β The holidays are often about indulgences. Enjoy the treat, but balance it with healthy habits that are good for both your body and mind. Here are a few suggestions:
- Have a healthy snack before holiday celebrations.
- Eat healthy meals.
- Get plenty of sleep.
- Include regular physical activity in your daily routine.
- Be aware of how social media is affecting you. Adjust the time you spend reading news or being online as needed.
2. Give yourself a break.Β Even those who thrive on the hustle and bustle of the season will benefit from taking a break from the activity.
Spending just 15 minutes alone, without distractions, may leave you feeling refreshed.
Find something that reduces stress by clearing your mind, slowing your breathing and restoring inner calm
Here are a few ideas:
Take a daily walk
Get fresh air
Drive around the neighborhood to view seasonal light displays
Play your favorite music
Listen to a new podcast
These are all Great Tips: Hope this has helped you to prepare for the Thanksgiving Holiday.
This Month we are Focusing on Nutrition and Fitness for the Month of November, including our Thanksgiving Holiday!
Monthly Team Goal 1
Nutrition; Healthy Eating
Aim to eat more Fresh Fruit and Veggies, 5 to 6 servings a day or more is even better
At a Family Buffet Thanksgiving Table, choose smaller portions of potatoes and meat and choosing more veggies and fruit instead of those higher calorie foods.
Drink 8 Glasses of Water or more per day
Stay within your Calorie Range
Aim to consume 25 grams of Fibre or more per day
Aim to have a smaller serving of that Holiday Dessert, remember itβs not about depriving but being balanced.
I encourage you to share your tips on a healthy twist to a usual food found on your holiday table! Letβs aim for weekly or as often as you can!
Monthly Team Goal 2
Fitness
Maintain a Healthy Weight
Daily Cardio between 20 to 30 minutes or more per day
Strength Training at least 3 times a week between 20 to 30 minutes per session
During the Holiday Time:
- Aim to get in more Walking, Swimming, Aerobics, any activity that will keep your body moving.
- Aim to take a Daily Rest Break: 5 to 15 minutes; or even a 3-5 minute power nap
- Aim to get more Sleep; 8 hours is ideal but for those who are unable try for 6 hours.
So who is onboard? Hope to see you join me for Novembers Team Challenge.
We can do this one day and one step at a time.
God Bless
Your Friend and Team Leader

Here is my Tip for putting a βHealthy Twistβ on my Make Ahead Mashed Potato Casserole! Starting slow with making 1 or two changes cuts down on the fat and extra calories!
Instead of using regular sour cream I use Greek Yogurt or Light Sour Cream which is less in calories and the fat! Some recipes call for Cream Cheese, when I make that recipe I use Light Cream Cheese. With all the Seasonings, Herbs and Garlic and anything the recipe calls for it doesnβt taste any different, you have just reduced the amount of calories and fat!
