Pick A Goal, Any Goal

Did I mention that if you submit your goal choice(s) to me by February 29, you will earn a point. If you don't, not only do you miss your point, but you have to endure my constant nagging.

So, for those that need a little prompting in the goal department, here are a few suggestions. You must pick 2 from the following list in order to participate in the Golden Sneaker Challenge:

• Exercise AT LEAST 12 times each month.
• Train to walk or run a 5K (3.1 mile) fun “run.” Or a sprint triathlon. Or a half marathon. Or a marathon. You get the idea.
• Spend at least four (4) hours a week outdoors, no matter what the weather.
• Each month try a new, healthy recipe or find ways to adapt a favorite recipe to make it healthier.
• Only eat between meals if I include a fruit or vegetable in the snack.
• Avoid eating after 9 p.m. (or whatever time makes sense for you).
• Walk 10,000 steps a day.
• Join and participate in a sports program.
• Stretch and do deep breathing exercises AT LEAST 12 times each month.

• Have veggies take up more room on your plate than grains or proteins do for every dinner.
• Eat a salad every day.

You can find two from that list, right? Sure you can! So, remember, you can, A. Pick one main fitness goal on your own, 2. Make a healthy bucket list with 3 goals you will work on this year, or III. Choose 2 goals from the above list.

OR, you can choose any combination of the 3 choices. You just have to pick AT LEAST one (1).

Use this long weekend to ponder and ruminate and get it in to me by the end of the month!
