WGTE's "Take One Step for Just 21 Days"

Developing a healthy habit is a gift you give yourself. Take One Step for Just 21 Days will help you do that.  Decide which of the 9 small steps you are willing to take for 21 days in a row. Each day, log on WGTE's website and rate how you did!  We are told by self-help theorists that if you purposely work at a habit for 21 consecutive days, it's yours!

Because this is also a "Take One Step" initiative, we only want you to work on ONE habit at a time. If you have successfully completed a 21 day cycle, then you can choose another and repeat the process.

Here are the choices:

• Stop the soda pop; choose water instead
• Reduce the number of cigarettes you smoke each day by one less cigarette
• Eat at least five servings of fruit and/or vegetables per day
• No high calorie fast food (i.e. hamburgers, fries, shakes, etc)
• Downsize your portion sizes
• Start gradually, but make at least half of your grains, whole
• Consume only fat-free or low-fat dairy products
• Walk, or exercise for 30 minutes each day
• Eat breakfast every day
