Do you have the Butt you want?

You aren’t going to get the butt you want, by sitting on the one you have.

Weekend Challenge:  Maintain 3 fruits and veggies, water, getting 7-9 hours of sleep and taking a multi-vitamin.  


Add:  Try an entire day of just eating fruits, veggies, beans, nuts & seeds.  Report to group on Monday!
And sit down and PLAN your meals next week!

Today at boot camp we went around and shared what time we want to get to bed everynight.  Some of you had very late goals for getting to bed, which made me realize, you are doing to bed even later than that!
  
While you may be stuck in a habit of going to bed late (anytime after 10 is late when you get up at 5 am), it's just a habit.  And habits can be changed!  

They say it takes 21 days to create a new habit! 

Considering the habit of when you go to bed, start moving it back by 30 mintues each night.  If you have trouble going to sleep, still get in bed earlier and read.  Do an activity that gets you sleepy!  Bump the bedtime back every night until you are in bed at least by 10.  This will get you the 7 hours of minimun sleep necessary for health and well being!

If kids are keeping you up, then remember, they need their sleep too and you are establishing their sleep habits while they are in your home.  Bump their bedtime back to at least 10 also. 

I personally am aiming for 9.  I've been in bed at 8:30 twice this week, but my kids do go to bed at 8 so that's easy for me.  But I believe 9:00 pm is a do-able bedtime I can commit to!

NOTE:  It's important to stick to similar routines on the weekends as best you can.

Take time to plan, plan, plan your food for next week!  I'll see you Monday!
Yours in the journey of health and well being!
