Mini-pledges (Week 7 & 8)

I am running behind this summer, so here's a reminder of last week's and this week's goals if you are Committing to a Healthier You. If this is all new to you, read the info on the previous link and see if this can help you on your eating journey. If you are working on these mini-pledges, these two are great steps to healthier eating and a healthier body.

The 100daysofrealfood blog offers excellent advice on the two topics below. "Stop eating when you are full" is a simple, straightforward goal, but often one of the most difficult. Take time this week to really listen to your body. Not only stop eating when you are full, but try not to eat when you are only thirsty or tired or anxious. Tune in closely to read your body's clues.

• Week 7: 100% Whole grain – All grains consumed must be 100% whole-grain.
• Week 8: Stop eating when you feel full – Listen to your internal cues and stop eating when you feel full.

Action Item: Take on one of these mini-challenges this week or if you haven't already committed.
