Wellness Wednesday (and Stridekick challenge info!) 8/4

There was some interest in adding a weekly thread dedicated to healthy habits - eating well, exercise, etc. Personally, I've had way more success maintaining better nutrition and an exercise plan when there are others doing to same. I need to be held accountable! So maybe that's true for you, too.
Feel free to use this thread to share your wellness plans, comment on what you ate/did that day, share healthy recipes/snack ideas, ask for advice, etc. Let's keep weight gain out of it, too 
Also - I'm going to start an exercise challenge for all that want to participate. The Stridekick app is compatible with Apple Watch, iPhone 5s and above, Garmin, Fitbit, and Androids with the Google Fit app. The challenge will start on Saturday, August 7 and will last 2 weeks, and the person with the most steps at the end of that time wins! It's open to the first 10 people (well, 9 now) that sign up. If you're interested, download the app, sign up, and try this link to join the challenge: https://app.stridekick.com/?groupCode=D2Q75K&_branch_match_id=951510770353869479&utm_medium=marketing
If it doesn't work, PM me and we'll work it out. I've done these challenges with other people and it's a great way to be more cognizant of how much you move all day, and it can be really motivating and fun.

There are 5 more spots open for anyone interested!
As for my healthy habits this week... I could've done better. I walked the dogs a few times, which was great, and felt really good (although my shins are kinda sore - part of the walk is up a pretty steep hill). As far as eating goes, I had a bowl of granola for a snack yesterday, which is SO high in calories! But I crave it like crazy. Then I had a salad for lunch, so I feel like that helped balance it a bit? Haha. Today I want to get a Peloton ride in and I've got a salad with chicken lined up for lunch.
@elksamm - I slept a lot the night after both of mine (were in January before I was pregnant though which made sleep easier) and that helped me
@MrsJessS I feel ya! Ive been a bum too.
@Lisa3379 thanks for setting this up!
It has been SO hot and humid here that I've been struggling to go on walks. Yesterday it was 92 degrees but feels like 106 still at 6 pm! Hopefully you all live somewhere with more tolerable weather!
Yeah, it’s been pretty motivating for me, too. Just sucks I had a cold for a few days there! I can set up another challenge to start maybe on Monday?
