The Whole 30 wraps up in just 2 days and we have a number of athletes finishing the 30 days! Congrats to Pam, Deb, Cass, Dr Jo, Patricia, Lisa and David B, Julia, Trisha and Gaby… hang on for 2 more days. And as I have suggested to a few of them: let’s keep it going for 30 more OR you could try continuing it in a new and different way- read this:
Here is a post from the Whole 30 that reflects the NEXT half of the Whole Life Challenge!
Every day for 30 days…
- Sleep. Unplug from your computer, TV, iPad, e-reader, and cell phone a full one hour before bedtime.
- Personal growth. Handwrite and mail a letter, postcard, or greeting card to a friend or family member with whom you’d like to stay better connected.
- Temperance. Choose one hour a day when you are completely unplugged from your computer, TV, and your Smartphone.
- Active recovery. Spend 20 minutes stretching, foam rolling, or doing mobility work.
- Injury rehabilitation: Do all of your PT exercises or other injury-prevention or recovery activity for 15 minutes.
- Fun and Play: Read a book (pleasure reading, not work!) for one hour.
- Stress management: Do 10 sun salutations each morning before you have your coffee.
- Exercise: Increase the length of your dog walks by 10 minutes. That’s 300 more minutes of exercise for you and your pooch.
- Nutrition(ish): Floss your teeth. Good health starts in the mouth!
