A Wellness Challenge

We are having a wellness challenge at work.  Not to lose weight, but to change our eating habits, and see if we can change our eating patterns for the better.

I am sharing our plan here, with you, because I think that everyone can benefit from a change in their eating patterns once in a while.  Since farmer's markets are open, and locally grown fresh produce is more easily available, this seems to be a wonderful time to introduce some new eating habits!

The Plan:
Exercise (walk, run, swim, bike) for 30 minutes a day, 5 days out of 7.
Sleep: 7 hours a night.
Water: Drink 3 liters a day, every day.
Veggies: 5 servings a day, every day. (1/2 cup serving size)
Fruits: 4 servings a day, every day.  (1/2 cup serving size)
Whole Grains: 3-6 a day, every day.  (Think, Quinoa, Millet, Amaranth, Brown Rice, etc.)  NOT white flour!
High Calcium Foods: 2-3 servings, every day.

Beans: 5 servings a week.
Nuts: 5 servings a week.
Fish: 2 servings a week.

I know, that's a lot of veggies every day, isn't it?

Are you willing to see if you are up to the wellness challenge with me?
