This week, I posted the Monday Challenge on my other site. The idea came from something I've used for years with my clients regarding fitness and getting back into shape. The idea is simple. Pick one thing, one good habit that you want to establish. Or conversely, one bad habit that you want to address. The plan involves only the next seven days. That's it, just one week. Your plan can include anything. Cutting out red meat. Choosing to use the stairs instead of the elevator. No dessert. A walk each night. An extra glass of water each day. Keep it simple to start, and if you have a day where you forget or can't resist that chocolate bar, don't worry about it. NO GUILT IS ALLOWED. Just get up the next morning and try again. Reassess at the end of week. If your new habit is working for you, choose it again. (Up to maximum of four weeks, at which point you can keep doing what you're doing, but you have to pick something new.) Or you can choose something else. The idea is to be conscious of what we put in our bodies and becoming aware of how much we're exercising. The self-awareness alone is usually enough to jump start some great changes in our life.
Feel free to email me or comment and let me know how you're doing. I'd love to hear your story! Good luck, and have fun with it!

Authour’s Note: My apologies for not posting in a long time. I’m in the midst of writing a fantasy novel, a process that started over three years ago, and has taken up a great deal of time, along with my regular training programs. As we move along from here, however, I hope to have more for you on a somewhat regular basis. Cheers!
