Believe it or not we’re going into week 9 of the One Small Change Challenge!
Thanks to the challenge thrown down by Marcia from Marcia’s Healthy Slice, I’ve been trying to make small changes that will hopefully turn into some good habits. So far my changes have included:
Week 1 – Daily plank routine
Week 2 – Keep my often-cluttered coffee table clutter-free
Week 3 – Increase my daily water intake
Week 4 – Repeated Wk 3
Week 5 – Daily rolling of my very tight quads and hamstrings
Week 6 – Take time each morning to set my plan/intentions for the day
Week 7 – Plan my strength-training workouts
When I got to week 8 last week I decided it was time to re-group. While some of my small changes were clicking along, others were not — my coffee table was drowning in an explosion of holiday catalogs and the daily rolling had dwindled to nothing. So instead of trying to pile on another change, I used week 8 to get back on track.
Moving on to Week 9, I’m once again sticking with my planning theme and focusing on meal planning. Last minute decisions on what to eat can sometimes lead to less than healthy choices. With the hectic schedule of the next couple of weeks heading into Christmas it’s going to be especially important to have meals planned out.
Do you plan your meals?
What changes have you made lately?
Meal planning is a very good thing. I’m actually surprised to find out that most people don’t actually plan their meals already. I just don’t know how to survive without doing that. We’ve been meal planning a week at a time since the kids were tiny (they are now grown and moved out).
I didn’t do the one small change challenge and now I’m kinda wishing I had!
Just popping in to say that you can start any time…
Lisa you can definitely jump in on this challenge! I think we’re going through the end of the year.
I linked up this week again too. Good to review these changes and keep on track! I love this challenge!
The clutter! Bane of my existence! Good for you for making it a goal.
I’m a big meal planner…I think I’d be lost without it. This week’s meals just happen to include a lot of turkey! ; )
I am not a meal planner. But I planned them out for the rest of the year as part of this challenge. So nice to have one less thing to worry about! Thanks for linking up!
