That's right, RSI residents and staff have decided to challenge themselves to healthier lifestyles to help feed the hungry! Across the U.S people are pledging to shed pounds, in order for others to be fed. For every pound you lose, a pound of food is donated to your community shelter of choice. How great is that?!
In preparation for this challenge our fitness specialist, Jena, discusses.....
Healthy Goal Setting
Let's start goal setting!!!!Admit it: we’ve all fallen victim to the occasional junk food trap. From putting a little too much sugar in our morning java to eating a burger topped with “the works” it can be easy to make unhealthy food choices. It can be even easier to forego apples and exercise for ice cream and a lounge chair, but the fact is: in order to live long, healthy lives we need to eat smart and exercise right. The first step towards good health is establishing small reachable goals. This week, as we work on setting our Pound for Pound Challenge weight loss goals, let us be mindful of the bigger picture: good health. While weight loss is a main component in moving towards good health, it does not happen overnight. Smaller goals like drinking more water, eating more fruits and vegetables and getting 30 minutes of exercise three to five times a week make it easier to manage a lifestyle change. So while you are deciding on how much weight you would like to lose, also be sure to note 3 mini goals that you eventually would like to achieve!
