12 Healthy Habits Challenge

I saw this article on cookinglight.com called "12 Healthy Habits" and wanted to share it.

You basically work on 1 habit per month for the rest of the year.

I copy and pasted the article below, sorry its kinda a month late!


January: Eat More Fruits and VegetablesAdd 3 more servings of fruits and vegetables to your diet each day. Download January's Healthy Habits Tracker PDF.
Feb: Get MovingIncrease the amount of aerobic exercise you do. Download February's Healthy Habits Tracker PDF.
March: Get Cooking—Cook at least 3 meals more per week than you are now, even if that means cooking breakfast or lunch (for freezing, maybe).

May: Eat Breakfast Daily—Eat a healthy breakfast every day.
June: Get Stronger—Add strength training to your fitness regimen: at least 2 sessions per week.
