These are the 7 daily habits outlined by the Whole Life Challenge. Through my lifestyle change journey, I've become very attuned to exercising, mobility (e.g., stretching and veering away from a sedentary/couch potato lifestyle), supplementation (thanks, Herbalife!...and fish oil!...and glucosamine [silly joints that won't work correctly]), and hydration, but the other 3 could definitely use some help. I've gotten better at nutrition, and am definitely more aware of healthier nutrition choices, but I still falter over sweets, alcohol, and when I travel.
A couple of my friends are doing the Whole Life Challenge which basically makes a game out of eradicating bad habits from your life, adding/supplementing new habits, and pushes you to reflect and maintain awareness of your actions. As I constantly teeter totter back and forth between maintaining a healthy lifestyle and surviving bouts of extremely unhealthy timeframes (case in point: I lived up Vegas this past weekend for my best friend's bachelorette party! Though it was a fantastic time, my body is definitely not happy about it =P), my friends invited me to join in on their journey. I'm SUPER stoked about it, and like many other things in life, having friends to support you and keep you accountable is super clutch. Went to the gym today to work off some of the harm Vegas did to my body (hooray for HIIT workouts and rock climbing!). Also hit up the grocery store today and was so excited to stock up on fruits, veggies, and nuts (my replacement for granola bars and chips since I LOVE snacking on crunchy things...especially with the amount of traffic I sit in)...so excited that I actually forgot to buy lunches/dinners for the next few days...oops!
In any case, for those of you struggling with any of the above things, check out the Whole Life Challenge website and see if that's the key to keeping your journey going. =) #challengeaccepted
