Chris and I talk with “The List” about small changes that can greatly improve and inspire healthier living. Here are 5 simple steps you can do to improving your health today. Which one do you think will be your biggest challenge? Which are you already doing? Let me know in the comments below!
1. SMART GOAL – Make it, Write it, Declare it, Achieve it.
2. MOVE for 5 minutes everyday (even if it’s just marching in place on commercial breaks).
3. EAT breakfast to get your metabolism revved up for the day.
4. REDUCE sugar – you don’t have to go cold turkey simply avoid the obvious when possible.
5. HYDRATE to curb cravings and monitor hunger. Start with a goal to drink a quart of water a day, then increase to a gallon.

Some great advice! Hydrate and move, is what I need to work on.
Chris is so right! I loss 20+ lbs by dropping the sugar, and hydrating. I already had the eating breakfast, and goal part.. I just didn’t see quit result when I included sugar and little water.. After I dropped those, I saw the changes! 😀
Eating Breakfast is my hardest part! I go to bed late, wake up early and rush out the door! I need to focus on that more often. That, and drinking water! I’m really bad at that as well. You and Chris are such motivations to so many people!
I love these tips, they are easy enough that any one can do them!
very useful tips! thanks
I am on the right path, except number one, I seem to have issues bringing the goals out of my mind. I always seem to self-sabotage or jinx them when I do.
I am trying to reduce sugar and drinks lots of water. I have 2 bad knees so it’s hard to exercise but I do lift 3 lb weights for an upper body workout.
I suppose if I can’t come live with you and Chris for a year, this would be a great way to start! Thanks Heidi!!
I love these!! Trying my best to cut back on the sugar, even though ice cream is one of my favorite things!! I defiantly need to try the increased water intake however, for how much I workout I know I don’t drink nearly enough. Love this post, thank you for helping me improve the area I’ve been struggling at most; good clean nutrition.
these are all doable tips~ thanks
