Fit Tip: Facebook/ Twitter Challenge

I hope those of you who took on my "8 for a healthy weight" challenge last week have succeeded and began to incorporate more fruits and veggies in to your diet. This week, I wanted to give you a different type of challenge. A social challenge. All too often we say negative things, think negative thoughts, and, well, are overall negative. When you say negative things outloud, OR type negative things on websites such as facebook and twitter, not only do you promote negativity, but it sends negative energy out for all the world to see. We definitley do not need any more of this, so my challenge to you this week, is to be CONSCIOUS of your update posts, and make sure EVERY post you write this week is of a positive nature. Let's stop the spread of negative thoughts over the internet. When you post how horrible of a day you have, well, nothing good can come of that. Only those folks who want to commiserate in negativity will respond. Let's see if we can appreciate positivity in our words we type this week. Go ahead. Maybe it will make you change your negative thoughts into positive ones, thus making you feel better about life in general.

Fit Tip: Veggie & Fruit Challenge. "8 For A Healthy Weight!"

To everyone who reads this blog: I challenge you this week, of August 22, 2010 to eat at least 8 servings of veggies and fruits each day. (Make sure not to have more fruits than veggies). Aim for 5+ servings of veggies. In America, the saying goes, "5 a day" of fruits and veggies, and as a society, we tend to eat more fruits than veggies. Be careful about this, since there is a lot of sugar (fructose) in fruits, make sure to balance it out by eating twice as many veggies. In Australia, the saying goes "8 for a healthy weight." So, in good Aussie spirit, this week, aim for 8 for a healthy weight!

Fit Tip: "Win The Day"

After a short break from blogging my daily fit tips, I'm back! Today, my daily fit tip is about "winning the day."

Thanks to fitness trainer, Todd Durkin, I have adopted a new approach to daily goal setting. Call it: "Win the day." Don't worry about tomorrow, or next month. Focus on winning each day. What 5 things do you have to get done TODAY in order to consider your day, won, or succesful? This teaches you to focus more on those things that maybe you have been procrastinating on. If you skip your workout today, could you consider your day won? If not, then you better get it done! Win the day, and you will win in life. Don't worry about winning the entire race, just the day.

My challenge to you: Every day this week, create your 5 things that you must get done on each specific day in order to win the day. See how it makes you feel! I love it, and every time there are things that I have been pushing aside that must get done, I feel more motivated to just do them, so that I can win the day!
