Grunge picture of the tops of red apples. One Day at a Time: 31-Day Challenge for a Healthier Life. Think about how your average meal looks – is your plate colorful? Does it include ½ fruits and veggies, ¼ lean protein, and ¼ whole grains? Now think about your daily activities – do you exercise regularly? Do you have activities or habits that help you relax and handle stress? If not, let’s get you there in 31 days. This 31-day challenge is designed to help you achieve optimal health and readiness by creating daily habits of healthy eating, active living, and positive psychological and emotional well-being. We recommend starting the challenge at the beginning of a month, but you can start at any time that works for you! Make sure to note your start date in the calendar to keep track of your progress. Get Started Today! Join your fellow Sailors, Marines, their families, and DoD civilians in the “One Day at a Time: 31-Day Challenge for a Healthier Life!” Adopting healthy and consistent eating habits combined with regular exercise is the key to successfully losing weight and keeping it off. You don’t have to go hungry or give up the foods you love, or even hit the gym every day, just try to incorporate healthy eating, active living, and psychological and emotional well-being behaviors and activities into your daily routine.bTo get started, follow this 31-day challenge to learn what types of foods you should be eating regularly, get recipes to prepare some healthy and delicious meals, and pick up exercise and general wellness tips. This isn’t a diet with short-term weight loss goals and severe restrictions, but rather a wellness plan you can adopt to maintain a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle long-term.
