12 Steps to Better Health Tool

An assignment that came up during one of my health coaching modules was this diagram below-I thought it would be fun to have each one of us pick one for this week and make a list of three points as to how we will achieve that goal!

I’ll go first:
Drink more water

  1. Download an app that helps me track my intake
  2. Get a water bottle that can hold different types of fruit to help me want to drink water
  3. Drink an 8 oz glass of water each morning

Your turn :nerd_face:

Practice cooking.
I really hate cooking but yesterday I bought veggies and fruits and I’m going to make a big stir fry today.
AND I didn’t buy any quick (low fat) frozen dinner type meals!

Proud of you Donna! Instead of rice, try cauliflower rice as a filler-there’s great frozen brands that make it

Not exactly the 12 steps I learned :rofl: but still very solid advice all around. :wink:

A lot of stuff on the wheel helped me a bunch. But wow. 2-7 I haven’t done so much focused work on. Room for improvement there.

I absolutely need to drink more water.

  1. Can track hydration on my fitbit.
  2. Will fill water bottles first thing in the morning.
  3. Drink 8oz when I get a drink or snack for my kids

When I first looked at the picture I swear I thought #3 said “experiment with weight gain” and I was not going to pick that one :rofl:

Anyway, this is a cool idea and I’ll try #5. To help me do that…

  • I’ll order veggies as side whenever I get food that comes with chips or fries.
    -I’ll eat the frozen veggies that have been taking up space in the freezer.
    -Drink a few servings of the greens health powder/supplement we have in the house.

Where’s the dressing?!
I’ve been failing lol I drank so much sparkling water and not enough water, but I’m working on it!

:rofl: I’m literally drinking a sparkling water right now.

The dressing is in there somewhere lol I was trying to be good and not add too much.

Looks yummy!! I am enjoying a lemon infused olive oil as my salad dressing these days…so delicious!! Well done!!

How are you going to make sure you doing that?

I joined a crossfit group every friday/sunday and I am also doing Yoga with Adrienne on the other days.
