- Monday (9/6/2010) Happy Labor Day – Spend the day with family and friends. Take advantage of your last day of summertime.
- Tuesday (9/7/2010) Journal your Caloric Intake – Now that summer is over, it is time to focus on your health and the health of your family. The holidays will be upon us so the goal should be to develop and maintain healthy habits now. Writing down the calories consumed in a journal is a great way to see what improvements can be made.
- Wednesday (9/8/2010) Schedule in Exercise – We are more likely to take that walk or do yoga or play soccer in the yard with the kids if we add it to our calendars. It becomes more of a goal and less of just “a good idea”.
- Thursday (9/9/2010) Find an Accountability Partner – It is a fact that we are more likely to stick with things when we have someone who is willing to help out. Find someone to walk with in the evenings or even someone just to tell about your goals. Make them known so you’ll have more incentive to stick with them.
- Friday (9/10/2010) Research Healthy Recipes – Take some time today to look around for some healthy recipes. You might even try looking for healthier alternatives to your family’s favorites.
- Saturday (9/11/2010) Month Ahead Cooking – Use this day to chop vegetables and saute them. Brown large batches of meat today and freeze. Get ahead to cook healthy.
- Sunday (9/12/2010) Reward Yourself – Pat yourself on the back for a job well done. Then indulge just a little bit today: eat in a restaurant or order an ice cream cone.
