Welcome to WEEK TWO of the Healthy Lifestyle Challenge!
We are off to a great start with 170 individuals participating in the challenge. Remember, this is not about how you do for one week or even ten weeks; it’s about building healthy lifestyle habits that will last a lifetime.
Email your tracking sheet by midnight to us at: Here’s my tracking sheet (Don’t forget to attach your tracking sheet)
This week’s bonus question: According to a recent study, sleeping fewer than seven hours, including naps increases the risk for cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death in the United States. The question: Is there a possible negative effect if you sleep more than seven to eight hours? http://news.discovery.com/human/sleep-seven-hours.html
SLEEP is something that a lot of us are obviously lacking based on a review of week 1 tracking sheets! WebMD experts say that if you feel drowsy during the day, even during boring activities, you haven't had enough sleep. Sleep is vital to our health and well being, yet millions of us are not getting enough sleep, or are suffering from other sleep problems.
We all have trouble sleeping from time to time. You can make it easier to get a good night sleep every night with these simple steps. 10 Tips to Get Better Sleep
Everyone who turns in their week 1 tracking sheet by midnight tonight will receive one free raffle ticket which will be placed in the Challenge Bowl. Those with the top ten scores will receive two tickets and our top point getter will receive three raffle tickets in the bowl. On Thursday we will draw a lucky winner.
Eat healthy and get active!
