Clean Eating Monthly Mini Goals (Baby Steps)




I have been eating clean for about 8 years now but it is always a work in progress.   Two steps forward once step back, at least it is not 1 step forward two steps back! 


I thought since I was doing a Monthly Organizing Goal I should do the 
same for my Clean Eating. 

So here are my the next 6 months Monthly Mini Goals:

Clean Eating Monthly Mini Goals:

January: Water Water Water
February: Walk Walk Walk (and exercise at the gym)
March: Eat Your Veggies 
April: Portion Control & Eat Every 3 hours
May: No Processed Food/No Gluten 
(no white flour, no white rice etc...)
June: Less Sugar/No Sugar

After June I will re-evaluate my progress and then go from there. I may need to revisit some of the previous goals.

The reason I am doing this is it is to hard for me to do one goal a week. I also I have learned from the past that if you try to make too many changes all at once your are going to FAIL! So Baby Steps...... always!

Also it takes 28 days for something to become a habit so if you work on one goal each month it is more likely to stick. 

If you would like to follow along with my in my mini goals, you can do so on Instagram Or Facebook @myeverydaywifelife. Use the following Hashtag #'s 

January: #medwlwater
February: #medwlwalk
March: #medwleatyourveggies
April: #medwlportioncontrol
May: #medwlnomorewhite
June: #medwllesssugar

So this month I will be working on drinking at least 3 to 4 bottles of water
a day! The going challenge is to drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces a day. However, for me that would be 125 ounces or 1 gal, 8 bottles of water a day. If I tired that it would be too hard and I would definitely fail. So I'm going to set my goal lower so I can be successful 
and increase as needed. Baby Steps!

I have learned from past experiences that if I try to do to many goals all at once I will FAIL! So when clean eating don't try to do do everything all at once "Cold Turkey". Just stop eating unhealthy things one by one and introduce healthy things one by one also. This way you can be more successful! Trust me it works better than "Cold Turkey".
