SCBR Week One - Goals
Each week Ellie starts with 3 basic changes to incorporate into the week.
Before that, she starts with taking a little quiz about where you are currently and the idea to write a letter to yourself about what changes you want to make.
For Week One -
1 - Shop and Get Comfortable with a Healthy Pantry. (She has an extensive list in the book) She also talks about the food journaling thing.
2. Start Walking for 20 Minutes, Three Times A Week. She recommends some kind of pedometer (even the little cheap ones vs getting a FitBit) as a good way to track movement.
Since we do go to the gym, this will be good reminder to make it at least 3 times a week. I tend to use the treadmill, but I am sure any of the cardio machines would work. (Well, not the stairmaster, I can barely do 3 minutes on it.)
3. Practice the Five Minute Breathing Exercise Daily. Basically it is to become aware of your breathing and to use more of your lungs. Focusing on breathing deeply in long slow breaths. Paying attention to how you feel and how the deeper breathing changes your energy level.
I should try to download my food journal and exercise during the week and how I do on the weekly goals before posting the next week's set of goals.
