Springing into March better prepared

Start your March off right...as we get ready to spring forward, add some spring into your step!

As you all have heard over and over it helps to write these down.  Make it a point (and a habit) to start your Sunday with a plan. List out 2-3 goals for the week and how you plan to achieve them.

My goals for this week:
Drink 8 (16oz) glasses of water a day.
Get up from my desk and walk around the block or do 50 squats as fast as I can
Eat more veggies with my meals.

1.The drinking water should be a no brainer...we are comprised of 70% water so do your body a favor and give back.  Find a water container you love. I am a big fan of the bkr bottles right now. They are big enough to hold 16 oz of water, it doesn't weigh your bag down and the greatest feature to me is I can drink it in the car or while walking and it doesn't spill on me as the mouth is just the right size. It has a great silicone sleeve. The bottle is BPA-free and of course come ins super fun colors.

 

2.Staying active throughout the day. Yes you may have worked out and had the best workout ever that morning but how many of you return to your desk or car and remain sedentary the rest of the day. Why not give your body a little calorie boost and get up and walk around the block. Not only will it clear your mind and give you some fresh air but hopefully it will keep your body burning all those calories we want to burn. Easier said than done I know, but make a goal to at least do it 1-2x this week and you will see just how easy it can be.  Track your trek around the block and see how many miles you can get in, in a month. You can track them easy with a an app like this one

3. Eat more veggies...yes, we all know we need them and we all say we will but do you really make it happen.  If you start your day with a few extra greens each morning you are well ahead of the game.
Fresh spinach in your smoothie, sauteed spinach in your eggs, a tomato with your bagel or even some fresh juiced carrots. Again make it a goal to at least try to get in a little extra 1-2 times a week. Make it a challenge, make it a goal and make it happen.

If you take on my three challenges or three of your own be proud as you week will be off to a fantastic start. Feel good for making these changes and stay healthy. 

Live your life this week...after all it was what we were born to do!
