Description:

This challenge will be based around the following Five Main Pillar tasks, which will show up each & every day.

  1. Eat Balanced Meals: Create balanced meals by including a protein, carb and fat into every meal.  Even better if you include fruits/veggies. We will ask you to track your daily meals following one of the methods listed below:
    • Plate Method: build your plate using your plate for portion sizes.
    • Hand Method: build your plate using your hand for portion sizes.
    • Tracking Macros: Log your food using one of the many apps available.  Some popular choices are My Fitness Pal, MacrosFirst and LoseIt.
      • I am also certified to calculate personal macros & calories, or you can use this "https://www.precisionnutrition.com/nutrition-calculator" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank" >simple calculator .  
  2. Hydration: Drink 1/2 your bodyweight in oz of water, or MORE
  3. 10K Steps a Day: This year you will have the option to connect your smart device (Apple Health, Google Fit, Samsung Health, Fitbit, Garmin, etc.) and it will sync your step count for you. You will receive 1 point for every 10K steps you get each day.
  4. Workouts/Physical Activity: Each day you will be challenged to get 30 min of some kind of physical activity.  There will be optional workouts included in the task each Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, but you can do whatever type of activity you prefer.  
  5. Sleep: We will be focusing on getting at least 7 hours of sleep every night, which is the minimum recommended to maintain a healthy mind and body.  

Connection & Mental Wellness: We will also be incorporating some mental wellness tasks in this challenge.  These will not be daily, but instead once or twice a week.  These tasks are intended to inspire good discussion in the Teams channel, sharing ideas, resources and techniques we each use to maintain our mental health.
