Habit Changes: Start Today! Select and print this, post it in your kitchen. Keep a little journal of your successes. There must be at least one change to make. Once these habits stick (it may take a couple weeks to months for some), If you've signed up for The Optimum You Habit Change Program, go on to the next step. In the meantime, incorporate new recipes. Try some here (I'm still adding to my online collection), or search healthy recipes online.
Day #1 of reading this, Drink an extra cup of water today Day #2: stretch before going to bed. Yes the lower back and hamstrings and maybe the chest. See these stretches. Don't forget to drink that extra cup of water today also. Day #3: Continue with the extra water and the stretching. Today incorporate a blue or purple food (not m&m's) such as blueberries, red onion or radicchio, into your diet. Day #4: Switch your daily coffee to decaf today. hmmm and maybe tomorrow. Go ahead, you can do it. To help: have a cup of green tea at some point in the day. It may "pick you up" a bit. Don't forget the blue food and the extra water and the stretching. Day #5: Cut back on the one weekness you have that you know you need to do something about. Is it ice cream every night? Too much coffee during the day? Plus, practice all of the above. Repeat.
