GOALS!
I want us to all have a goal every month. Most habits are formed in 21 days. This means we should take, at minimum, this amount of time to create healthy habits! What this will do is give everyone in the community something we all have in common. We can encourage each other on our pages. We can message with each other on other threads and see how we’re doing with the goal. Keep up with each other on other social networks (Twitter, Facebook); however you communicate with others outside the forum!
There are a couple of ideas I have for the goal for this month. One that I was thinking would be a great thing to start with as the goal is sleep. Sleep is how our body regenerates. It burns calories during sleep, it fights infection during sleep, it heals during sleep, it also helps us deal with subconscious issues psychologically. Any nutritionist, doctor, trainer, whoever, will tell you that getting at least 8 hours of sleep a night is going to be crucial to your health. So one goal could be to get at least 8 hours of sleep every night, no excuses.
Another idea I had was water intake. Drinking a minimum of 64 ounces (1893 mL) of water every day is very important to every function your body performs. I mean every: from growing hair to going to the bathroom to moving your arms. If you aren’t getting enough water, all your systems break down. You end up putting on weight because your body tries to retain every bit of fluid you ingest.
So which of these two ideas interest you more? Or do you have something else you think would be better?
