One Week Challenge

3/21/2018

Spring is the perfect time to start moving around more and eating better!  Maybe you want to drop five or ten pounds before summer arrives.  Maybe you want to look better in shorts, capris or a swim suit at the pool, beach or on the boat.  Or maybe you are just ready to brighten your mood and feel less fatigued with the extra hour of daylight we received last weekend with Daylight Savings Time.

Whatever your goals include for 2018, a one-week “reboot” type plan could be just what the doctor ordered for you to start feeling better!

Trade in refined sugars, white flours and other processed foods for just one week.  Try to go without fast foods or deep fat fried foods for seven consecutive days to reboot your digestive system and see if you feel better.  Ditch the foods that make you tired and leave you hungry such as breads, pastas and crackers.  Steer clear of added sugars and salt to lower your blood pressure, cholesterol, weight and blood sugar levels and see if you feel better by the end of March.  Drink a full glass of water at each meal for a week.  Add more fresh fruits, green vegetables and lean proteins to your plate at every meal for the next seven days and see if your family catches on to support your better habits.

Everything you do today is an investment in your health for tomorrow, next month and five years down the road.  Spring is just around the corner, and the robins are back in northwest Iowa, so today is the perfect time to start energizing your diet and exercising more.  Now is the time to plant seeds for a healthier future.  Get started today on a one week “reboot” plan, and ask your family to join you!
