This week, our focus in the new Group Challenge, will be to take a good look at our current habits and each day build one good habit and drop one bad habit, using various topics. We will each post daily about our habit plans for that day, what we hope to accomplish, how we made the decision on those particular habit adjustments and then throughout the week, discuss the changes we see happening. Here's our topic list and please try to stick to the topics if possible.

  • Sun - Nutrition Habits
  • Mon - Self-Care Habits
  • Tue - Stress Management Habits
  • Wed - Fitness Habits
  • Thu - Beverage Intake Habits
  • Fri - Goal Setting Habits
  • Sat - Time Management Habits

For each day, as yourself, "Which good habit will I start (or increase) and which bad habit will I stop (or decrease) in some way?" I look forward to interesting discussions this week. Invite a friend or two this week…our numbers each week are dwindling a bit! Thanks!

Jessica 😊

    Here's a good article I found at Harvard Health's website:

    Trade bad habits for good ones - Harvard Health

    They make some really good points with the three Rs!! Thoughts?

    Sunday - Nutrition Habits

    My number one good nutrition habit is to TRACK all my food. But tracking is already a well-established habit for me, not a new one.

    My number one bad nutrition habit has been too many carbs. I stay in my range for calories, but I have a history of sacrificing protein in favor of carbs.

    Good Habit: make sure I get enough protein.

    Towards the end of the day, check my totals for Protein, Carbohydrates, Fat, and Fiber. On days when I haven't planned ahead, checking those macros gives me a chance to make choices that will balance things out before the end of the day.

    Bad habit: Limit/reduce carbs.

    Recently, I started wearing an over the counter continuous glucose monitor (Stelo by Dexcom), and I've been working to maintain a steady glucose range with no spikes. My goal is to not exceed a glucose reading of 140 for more than 1 hour per day. It's very motivating to see immediate results of what I eat. Since setting this goal 2 weeks ago, I've met that 23+ hours/day goal, and most days it's been 100%. I also found that my sweet cravings all but disappeared when I smoothed out the glucose spikes.
