#OneSmallChange Link Up Week 5

November 5, 2013

photo (15) (1)
October flew by and if you’ve been hanging with us, you may have made up to 4 small changes to your lifestyle already!

Ok on to November!
How did last week go? Were you successful with your change if you made one? Remember it’s totally ok to hold and not take on a new challenge if you haven’t mastered previous ones. I know this is a tough time of year so kudos to those who are persevering.
Here’s what I did in October:
1. Keep kitchen counters clutter free
2. Drink at least 64oz. water
3. Daily 2-min. plank sequence
4. Start every day with warm lemon water
November
1. Plan my meals. This should be a no-brainer, but it’s not. This is especially crucial since I started the Grain Brain Challenge. Many times I found myself not eating enough, because I wasn’t ready with good food choices. Then the wheels fell off over Halloween weekend compliments of candy, sleepover brownies and the like. Ugh. Then I felt ‘meated out’. Way more red meat than I feel good eating. So all of that needs to be ironed out and I need to hit the reset button. Meal planning is key.

What change did you make last week? What will you do this week?ย

    Hurray. So excited to be your winner. Will email you.

    Meal planning is a good challenge. I need to get back to doing more of that – I do mentally plan and mostly follow, but did a better job when I used to write it down and then make a shopping list accordingly!

    My #onesmallchange this week is about pre-workout fuelling.

    I need to spend less money – AKA: I need to go out to eat less. It’s not so much dinners, because I love eating dinner at home, especially with it getting darker earlier, but… I go out to lunch a LOT! Here in LA, that’s what people DO – and alas, I am doing it today again! LOL! So I guess, I will try and focus on going out to lunch less next week? LOL!

    I’ve also been thinking about meal planning. And I might just do it this weekend. My husband will fall over if I do.

    I’m going to change my workout habits – I’ve cut out a lot of my workout time and I don’t really like it so I’m going to increase my time again!!!

    Meal planning is a good one – may need to add that one next week. I’m repeating last week’s change of daily rolling – my legs will thank me ๐Ÿ™‚

    I’ve struggling to find the right balance with the GB challenge, too… more meat and fat isn’t feeling great. I feel like I’m eating too much, rather than not enough… but the right balance is getting easier.

    Meal planning is so crucial to a healthier life – a great addition! ๐Ÿ™‚

marciashealthyslice I'm a working mom who, as part of a mid-life challenge, decided to run a marathon for kicks. I didn't plan on it becoming a hobby, but it did. I qualified for Boston at my second marathon and finished the 6 World Marathon Majors in London in 2019. Set no small goals. You never know what you're capable of until you try!
