A new habit for the new year!
Clayton and I went back and forth for weeks discussing what my new habit should be. We both wanted to make more progress in improving our diet and looked to the 8 Weeks to Wellness program for inspiration again.
Habit: Plan and eat one 8WW approved meal everyday for 66 days.
Start Date: Sunday, 01/10/2016
Projected End Date: Tuesday, 03/15/2016
Action Plan:
- Try 2 new recipes from SparksRecipes
- Try 2 new recipes from the 8WW workbook
- Keep a photo journal on Instagram
- Track our weight every Sunday
- Post weekly progress on Fridays about developing better eating habits
Incentive: If we build our meal habit AND lose 10 pounds each over the course of the 66 days we will take a trip back home to attend Cubs vs. Angels opening day game!

Lofty Goal: Being healthy
I have less action items for this habit than previous ones because I think this habit will take up more of my time than any of the previous ones. You might also find our incentive to be a little extravagant. We figure losing 10 pounds is a big deal, and this is something that will keep both Clayton and I motivated. I will get to see my family, and Clayton will bend over backwards to see Cubs opening day!
Wish us luck and please share any of your favorite health recipes in the comments!
