We are entering our third week of the 8-Week Team Challenge, a paleo/lifestyle challenge that encourages us to make better nutrition and lifestyle decisions. The 3-4 week mark is where you can expect to really start seeing the benefits of our challenge. Hopefully, you are beginning to see some benefits and finding a new balance to your life. The goal of all of this is to trade old, unhealthy habits, with new, healthy habits. Good luck to everyone on Week 3!

This week’s 8WTC Lifestyle point can be earned through doing one thing for another. This was posted on the Nutrition FB group:

The lifestyle challenge this week is to do something for someone else. This could range from getting your coworker or coach a cup of coffee;). It could be telling someone that you appreciate them. I want it to be something outside your current normal. It has to be a challenge for you. Like the workout point, it’s up to you to judge what qualifies or not. For example, just because I say “good job” to someone in the gym, that won’t cut it for me. It would have to be something more genuine and beyond what I currently do. Maybe there’s a charity that you’ve heard about and want to make a donation to? Or maybe there’s a friend that is needing some help and you can make some time in your busy schedule to give them a hand? Or maybe you can come home early and surprise your family with a little outing and quality time? The choices are endless. Everyday, I want you to do something for someone else that is unexpected and challenges you to think of others before yourself. Some of you are naturals at this. Some of you are going to find it more challenging. Share your stories on the group page!
