It’s the final week of National Nutrition Month®! Below are my final nine daily mini-goals for
better health.
March 23: Eat only
until satisfied, not stuffed, even if there is food left on your plate
(remember eating more slowly helps).
March 24: Choose
olive oil instead of butter.
March 25: Do 10
push-ups this morning, afternoon, and evening – it feels great!
March 26: Eat some
spinach! It’s national spinach day! Be “…strong
to the finish ‘cause you eat your spinach!”
March 27: Pray a
prayer of thanksgiving before every meal (whether home or dining out).
March 28: Stick to
moderation if you enjoy an adult beverage – one drink/day for women or two
drinks/day for men (to shave off some of those liquid calories ;) ).
March 29: Plan next
week’s meals and snacks before you go shopping (helps keep your food choices in
check all week and helps your budget too).
March 30: Eat breakfast,
lunch and/or dinner as a whole family – no TV, no books, no papers, no phones,
just food and family.
March 31: Rock
confidence! Wherever you are right now
in your journey to better health and weight management…BE you, BE joyful, BE
confident.
I would love to hear what you did to improve your nutrition
this month! Did you try any of my daily
mini-goals? Leave me a brief comment if
you feel like it!
One of my favorites was from this past week. I focused on being sure I made eye contact
with and smiled at anyone who crossed my path.
People can’t frown back! J I enjoyed sharing
the smile. Whether it meant nothing to
the other person or maybe it lifted their spirits, it had an interesting impact
on me. I think it is quite easy to put
your head down, do your job, and move along, not ever really cherishing the simple
moments you may have to interact with someone.
Remember that everyone has their own story and we often don’t know where
in their story they are…could be on a mountain top or in a deep valley. How we interact with them can make an impact…a
positive one! I have been encouraged to
be more willing to offer a greeting, a smile, and even extra moments to just
listen to another child of God.
Have a happy and healthy week!
