New year, same crew!

It’s a new year! At FCCF, we promote healthy, sustainable lifestyles all year long. But we also know that a January community health challenge can help build healthy habits. So this year, we’re continuing with January healthy lifestyle challenges. We’ll have four challenges, and you can do one, a few, or all.

  • Less alcohol

  • Less sugar

  • 800g of veggies/fruits (more specifics on this one here)

  • Nutrition overhaul (give yourself a larger challenge for a month! Try Whole 30, macro counting, Paleo, or another option you’ve been curious about.)

Log your nutrition “wins” each day in BTWB and hop over to the FCCF #healthy-habits Slack channel for encouragement, recipe sharing, and debates about what 800g of plants REALLY looks like.

January Challenge Guidance:

  1. Set a tangible goal (use the categories above to set a goal, e.g. no drinks on weekdays, track all my food, 800g challenge, no desserts, commit to a Whole30)

  2. Determine how to track progress (e.g. BTWB, My Fitness Pal, or other app, selfies/measurements/weighing, etc.)

  3. Determine how to stay accountable (e.g. log on BTWB, post to Slack, find an accountability buddy, join zoom sessions etc)

  4. Pearls of advice from Coach Alex: Focus on building habits you can sustain year round, whether it’s working out 3x/week, cutting down on alcohol, or eating 800g of veggies most days. Think about making nutrition a priority in addition to exercise.
