Hi Friends! How was your Memorial Day weekend? Mine was filled with adventure in the great state of Texas, but before we get to that it is time to check in for this week’s 52 Week to 52 Healthy Habits.
The past month was all about intuitive eating, learning all about how to get away from the diet mindset and learning to use your intuition to help you make the right choices. Even though we only focused on it this last month, intuitive eating is really what this whole series is about. This series helps you make little changes that along the way add up to big changes allowing you to easily reach your goals, without going on another diet. This upcoming month will be all about supporting and improving your digestion! Did you know that 80% of your immunity is located in your GI track? Did you know there are connections between the health of your gastrointestinal health and just about every other system in your body including your brain, skin, blood sugar management, cardiovascular health, hormones and more? Supporting your GI health is one of the BEST things you can do for your body so stay tuned.
This week, take a breather and reassess how you have done so far. We just came back from a long three day weekend where you may or may not have enjoyed more treats and fun that usual. Look back at the past weeks and pick the top 3 things you struggled with and work hard at implementing them all week. Also take note of what has been really easy for you, it’s good to know where your strengths and weaknesses are!
Top 5 I’m Great At:
- Getting Enough Protein
- Getting 10,000 steps a day
- Scheduling My Workouts
