Thanks, Ceri! This is incredibly helpful and I've changed a few things in set up because we had it in advance. 🙂0
-
The most helpful habit for me from one of the previous challenges is NEE: No eating in the evening after dinner. Mindless TV snacks are my downfall!2
-
Thanks for the info for the Fall 5% Challenge.
For week 8 maybe it could be NSV and measurements.0 -
Great ideas!1
-
The LTGL that was so helpful to me and that I still mostly practice is Hara Hatchi Bo (sommething like that). Its like a mindfulness eating practice, placing your fork down between bites, and stopping when you’re about 80% full. I find I slow down when I’m eating like this and chew more. I attribute this to my experiencing less indigestion and Gerd.1

I recommend the following:
Week 6: Hours of sleep & Vegetables
Week 7: Hara Hachi Bu & Hours of Sleep
Week 8: Hara Hachi Bu & Measurements2 -
I like the ideas of: eight glasses of water, no eating after dinner and Hara Hachi Bu.0

Water
Tracking
HHB1 -
Prioritize Protein ~ Eat Protein with all meals and snacks.
Prioritizing protein in your diet can help you build muscle, maintain a healthy weight, and reduce your risk of chronic disease.3 -
I like @Catwmncat 's proposal to focus on Protein - maybe for week 8 or 7 and 8. I think tracking is always a good one to include because it's an easy one to get away from and we sometimes don't realize how many calories we're eating.3

I like tracking, hara hachi bu, and protein (would be a great add).1
-
Tracking, sleep, protein
Definitely NOT the one that takes you forever to eat and your hot food gets cold and your cold food gets warm, since it takes so long
2 -
I also agree on protein and have been trying to reach my goal for daily intake on that1
-
Fiber and Getting Outside2
-
Thanks to all who shared thoughts and ideas! I will fill in the blanks soon!2
-
I like Protein, Fiber, tracking or water0

finishing the day within calorie range
tracking foods
