The Healthy Club

Thanks to my friend Jane for this picture and post . . .

Lately, life has been a little hectic for me and I have found it near impossible to keep up any good habits, so when I saw a post about a contest centered on healthy habits from my friend Jane, I found my motivation.

The woman who created this contest through her public blog, opened it up to any and all who were interested in participating. Bad thing is, I missed her deadline which means I now am going to start my own contest . . . with YOU!!! So, dear family and the few of you who still read my blog, ya in???

In "Sara's Revolutionary Challenge," there is a fee for entering. This fee allows each participant access to a shared google account which tracks progress and keeps you motivated. It also offers a cash prize.

That ain't gonna happen here. I have no time to create a google account to track your progress nor do I want your money. Keep your $20 and track your own progress!

To keep us working together, let's check in monthly and share our success and our challenges. No pressure. Join in the fun, commit yourself to the rules of the challenge and let's get started!
