Week 5
Checking In
Tracking your food should be getting easier as well. You are not going to be perfect in your macros every single day but think back to week one. Think about how far you have come in only 5 weeks! It’s amazing how much easier it gets with time. It will continue to get easier. The goal is for you to gain the knowledge about food so you can continue to make the right food choices on your own.
You will have learned:
What makes up the food you are eating
Which foods are better than others for your body
Which clean, healthy foods and recipes you enjoy eating
How to work in the occasional treats
How to fuel your body to maintain good health and keep your hormones happy
At this point there is usually a decrease in Macro accountability posts. That is okay as long as you are sticking with and doing well. You don’t have to post every single day.

Health Task
KEEP YOUR MIND ACTIVE
Studies have shown that you may delay the development of dementia and memory loss as you get older by keeping your mind active. Having a hobby that you enjoy, doing stimulating puzzles, playing games, reading books and learning new skills are great ways to keep your mind active and healthy.
Physical Exercise is good for your heart health and keep your body fit and , brain exercise is called Neurobics. They are meant to give your brain function a boost and when you do them regularly, they can improve your cognitive function.
Here are some examples of Neurobics...
Use your non dominate hand to do normal things like brush your teeth or empty the dishwasher.
Drive a different way to work every now and then.
Listen to a different genre of music... keep switching it up!
Shower with your eyes closed
Eat in silence focusing on each bite (this will also help you feel fuller more quickly)
One thing I like to do is close my eyes when I am doing certain exercises in my workout (this must be done with great care since it can throw your balance off).
Here is an article that reviews some mind exercise apps so you can choose one that fits you best.
