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!3
-
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
-
Thanks for the opportunity to provide some ideas!
finishing the day within calorie range
tracking foods
no snacking after dinner0 -

@Ceriusly1 cracking set of ltgls right up my street0

That's an interesting set of LTGL goals.
Thanks Ceri, and thanks to the folk who gave you suggestions - some of them I think I should try to incorporate into my own journey

Loving having advanced notice of the LTGL. Also on you're on fire with alliterations this session!0

@everyone
I love seeing some of the suggestions for 'Healthy Habits' and began answering a few posts but thought that I should answer for the good of the Community. Points are awarded for you/your team for following the 'Healthy Habit' suggestions, however ~ there is nothing that says you can't take this a little further.
If there is a Healthy Habit that has not been 'highlighted', it is very doable for YOU to incorporate YOUR OWN 'HEALTHY HABIT' into the weekly activities!!
A Seasonal Challenge is for 8 weeks. 8 weeks X 7 days/week = 56 days.
So, you have 56 days to incorporate your personal 'extra' Healthy Habit to practice. The habits suggested and that we will follow/track are only a map; there is nothing that says you can't work on something that resonates with you in addition to some of the things that are suggested.
If it helps, give points to yourself for following some of the additional healthy habits suggested here.
Then, at the end of the Challenge, if you have followed through, plan a shopping or mani/pedi day to reward yourself at the end of the Challenge.Heidi (hicim705)

Decluttering is a forever process. Not sure 56 days just doing that would get to the bottom of my stuff.
Been tidying the garage again, all morning to make room for two lawnmowers and my car and the lawnmowers are sorted but the car won’t see inside till at least tomorrow.

@Ceriusly1 - Thanks for laying out the plan for LTGL for this challenge. Allows some planning in advance.
I know it takes a lot of work to put this together. Thanks.
There are many choices for each challenge and some may apply more to a person than another...but getting a good balance is always a great Idea...so just want you to know we appreciate what you do and many of the ideas being discussed can always be used for the next challenge
Have a Great and Healthy Day!!!2 -
@130StrongerEachYear The planning never stops! Ideas flow from one season to the next so everyone, keep the suggestions coming!
Your OALs wanted to streamline things to make it easier for everyone to read all the posts. We hope that we can always share the most helpful information to motivate and inspire our members3 -
I love that you laid out all the LGTL's ahead of time, makes it easier to plan and know what we're going to focus on.1

Great Ideas! I especially like the decluttering & protein ones, & get outside is good too
