Day 2 challenge -Consistent we can do this

I want to share something with you and say something about following good advice. This is an example of good advice. It says nothing about losing weight fast, while eating pizza and just taking a magic pill. (you might have to C & P this link) https://www.popsugar.com/fitness/photo-gallery/45076179/image/45099168/Embrace-Your-Body?utm_source=fitness_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=fitness_newsletter_Thu_08022018&esg_id=171723070&trk=article_image_2
Flip through and read the headlines. The headlines almost sound like the concepts. Note the last one. BE Consistent. This is what I consider to be the hardest. It is easy to get up and do 1. Lets look at 1. If you do 1 set of 10 push-ups to something like a sink every time you wash your hands or on to the edge of your bed every time you make or pass it you could see great results after a month as long as you are Consistent. For today we want to post 1 thing you are setting as a Consistent goal for the month.
Our challenge for today is to post 1 eating challenge and 1 moving challenge.
A few eating challenges might be to eat a big salad instead of a HC/LN item. Trade out any HC/LN for a HN/LC item. Remember this is an instead of not an in addition to. Which day is this going to be hard on?? My hard days are on the weekend.
Next pick a moving item that you will be Consistent with. Some examples is to do 1 squats every time you use the rest room or walk past something. This is different that doing 10 flights of stairs. If your goal is to do 10 flights of stairs them you can bang them out in the morning and you are done. This would be great except for the days you say you didn't have time. If you do 10 push-ups to the counter every time you walk into the kitchen you are creating a habit.
I don't care how many times you do it because it is your body and I only have control over my body so I will share what I will do.
I want you to have some real fun with this. What if you stated that you will do 10 push-ups to the kitchen table before eating anything and to a chair next month, what would the side effects be? Will your family start saying- what about those push-ups?? Do them so we can eat. What about 10 squats before you sit on the couch? I am calling these - Little stupid things to build your bridge.
What is your 1 food and 1 moving for the month?
