Don't Forget to post results by 10am for the finish of last weeks challenge
We have had 3 challenges so far, one for setting goals, one for tracking food, and one for tracking exercise. This week we are going to focus on what we are eating even more. By now we should be tracking our food daily - if you aren't - its time to start! Take some time to review your food over the last two weeks and see where you may be able to improve your eating decisions.
ChooseMyPlate.gov gives us an easy visual when looking at the food we are eating.
This week's challenge is about eating a healthier and more balanced diet. Remove some of the less beneficial food choices and replace them with fruits and/or vegetables. The goal this week is to have at least half your plate (meal) for your largest meal of the day (usually dinner for most) consist of fruits and/or vegetables. Be mindful to also stay under your daily calorie count or other tracking method. To be entered in this weeks daily challenge drawing you will need to complete this challenge at least 5 of 7 days of this week.0 -

Don't forget to post results by 10 am Wednesday 2/19/20. ( added an extra day since this post is going up so late)
To lose weight with the greatest chance of keeping it off, you have to do more than diet and exercise. You need to change your lifestyle. Diets are not sustainable. Workouts can not make up for unhealthy eating habits. It takes changing our habits to make this weight loss journey a lasting part of our lives. Start with small changes and do those changes every day until it becomes a habit. It does not need to be about eating or exercising, it could be about staying hydrated, getting more sleep, developing better posture. Some may choose to give up soda, hitting step goals each day, being more organized or working on positive mental attitudes.
This week's challenge is about making small changes in our daily lives.
First, choose two small changes you want to become new habits and start a streak for both of those small changes. A streak means that you stick to your proposed changes every day for the next week. No excuses.
Your two goals need to be a stretch for you but also attainable. The purpose is not to shoot for the moon and miss, but to be able to make these two changes successfully.

Are you curious about the term clean eating? Have you ever wondered what it is exactly or whether it might benefit you?
Clean eating in the most simple terms means eating real food—foods that are whole (unprocessed) and in their most natural state. In other words, people who subscribe to clean eating try to avoid foods altered or processed by humans or manufacturers.
That being said, there are many different approaches to eating clean, and none of them are wrong. Everyone from carnivores to vegans can eat clean and it doesn’t have to be complicated. While some people put lots of strict dieting rules around their "clean" diets, that's not the case for everyone. Eating clean really can be delicious, fulfilling, filling and simple! Here's how.
For the most part, clean eaters subscribe to these general guidelines:
1. Eat plenty of vegetables, both raw and cooked.
2. Eat unprocessed lean meats that have not had anything added. This includes fresh chicken and fish and even lean beef and game.
3. Enjoy whole grains instead of the processed or refined variety.
While some people put more restrictions on their "clean" diets (such as avoiding flour, sugar, dairy or other food groups at all costs), anyone can clean up his or her diet by focusing on the basic guidelines listed above.
Think of it as simply eating "fresh". The weekly challenge is to have 75%+ of your dinner meal be "fresh" or clean eating (unprocessed foods). Do this at least 4 of the 7 dinner meals this week to be entered into the weekly drawing.
