This 26-week wellness challenge begins February 13th, 2010. The purpose of the challenge is to adopt one new healthy habit per week for 26 weeks. Some of the habits will be easy to adopt, or you may already be doing them, while others will take quite a bit more effort. The idea, of course, is to adopt each new habit and continue it forever! Because some weekly challenges may include health practices you consistently perform, you may want to think about some personal goals you would like to attain that you could substitute for those "off" weeks. For instance, I will not be addressing tobacco use in this challenge, so you could develop several smaller goals to help you work towards quitting tobacco.
This challenge has an overall focus on wellness, which includes physical and emotional health, and is not going to be about weight loss. If we can adopt the current health habits recommended by researchers, our bodies will settle into a "happy weight", where we can feel good and look good. I admit that I will smile when my jeans are not as tight though!
I look forward to beginning this challenge with you on February 13th!
