What is the 90-Day Challenge?
It's simple: Select 1, 2, or 3 healthy habits that you wish to incorporate over a 90-day period. Be careful to select goals that are realistic. Okay, so "90 days without candy" may be tough for some of you. But, for the 90 day period, could you commit to 5 or 6 days a week w/out candy? Or perhaps 1 or 2 pieces of candy a day if you are accustom to eating a lot more? Perhaps you want to cut your candy consumption in half? Or even decide "I will eat a vegetable or piece of fruit, or drink a glass of water instead of munching on a piece of candy at least 50% of the time." Some people may choose to add something to their diet. For example, "I'm going to eat an orange every day." Again, be careful that it is a goal that you really WANT to do for 90 days. You may become really sick of oranges after that period of time. Being that I am now a Central Valley California girl, I cannot promote any practice that encourages the aversion to citrus. (And besides, I heard that some people have gained weight eating an orange every day.) Start out small.
So then what?? Post your healthy habit here. And keep coming back to post on your progress. I also think it is important to post a weekly reward for yourself for achieving those goals. It may be as simple as taking time out to do something you really like to do.
And then??? We come back to this site to motivate each other. Post supportive comments. And more importantly, we need to have fun along the way. Making lifestyle changes can be tough. But it's a lot easier with support and a touch of good humor. Share your struggles and stories. Share your successes as well! And if you can make bloggers laugh, you get an extra point.
Oh, and points! Ah yes. We do need to have a point system. In the spirit of Drew Carey, the points don't really matter. But there WILL be a point system. With bonus points. And surprise points! But more on points later.
So post away! I'm anxious to hear from you!
