I got this idea off the Internet and knew that it was something I could do to help me. This is a challenge to motivate me and help me toward a healthier lifestyle. I want to do this the right way so that I can make a permanent change in my life. I also want my family to take this challenge with me!
The Healthy Me Challenge starts on Monday, January 10th, 2011 and go for 6 weeks through Monday, February 21st, 2011.

Week 1 (January 10th - 16th): Start a Food Journal! Just live my life the way I do now, but record it down. Each day, write down what time I wake up, what time you eat, what you eat, how many calories, how much you exercise, how much water you drink, what time you go to bed.
Week 2 (January 17th - 23th): Continue journaling. Cut out sugar, junk food, oils and fats, diet coke (or any pop), and fast food! This will be the hardest week for me because I love me some diet coke. I will switch to drinking like Crystal Light. Also switch to whole wheat and whole grain (even pasta)
Week 3 (January 24st - 30th): Eat 2 servings of fruit and 3 servings of vegetables per day. Eat a piece of fruit before anything else for breakfast and eating fruit, like an apple, along with a great protein source (i.e. nut butter or cheese stick) for a snack. Green smoothies are a great way to get in fruits and vegetables and if you regularly serve salad at dinner and eat a large salad before you eat your protein.
Week 4 (January 31st - February 6th): Exercise 60 minutes per day, 4 days a week. The goal is to raise your hearbeat. If you're feeling a good cardio workout, working up a sweat, increased heart rate, it counts. I will be exercising anyways but I will add in an extra day this week.
****For the remaining weeks, continue the process for weeks 1-4.
Week 5 (February 7th - February 13th): drink at least 64 ounces of water each day for the entire week.
Week 6 (February 14th - February 20th): take a supplement each day as recommended on the packaging for the entire week.
