Due to the great response of the HBBC this year, I decided to create 30 Day Challenges for each month of 2012 and invite everyone who wished to join me for one or all! Following are the tentative topics for each month:
January: Food Journal Challenge (70 participants)
- Food Journal Details
- Food Journal Day 1: Taking Stock
- Food Journal Reflection
- Excuses that are holding you back
- Recognize and change patterns
It's easy to know that you love your family, appreciate your co-workers, etc....but taking a moment to tell someone everyday that they are appreciated in a note or verbally requires opening yourself up.
- Appreciation Challenge
- Appreciation Workout sheet
- Self Appreciation
A lot of science has now shown the benefits to a Vegan diet. Here is a chance to try it for 30 days and find out for yourself if it makes you feel healthier, lighter, happier.
- Early Sign Up Form
Initially I had this later in the year, but great minds noted the summer heat could make this hard. So now you can use this to gear up for spring races!
May: Yoga Challenge
Runners are notorious for tight muscles and yoga helps. As my friend likes to remind me, yoga helps every other sport, but no sport helps yoga.
June: Creative Writing or Journaling Challenge
They say journaling is one of the best things you can do for your mental and emotional health. I know it's often at the end of a long list of other things to do...but is it worth seeing if it just might help? Maybe all you want to try is writing a gratitude journal every night.
July: Cross Training Challenge
Whatever your primary sport is this month you need to commit to doing other exercises. Let's make 2012 injury free by working all of our muscles.
August: Meditation Challenge
According to recent studies almost all highly successful people mediate. It clears your mind to be open to creativity and allows you to focus. You can start with just 1 minute a day.
September: DVD or other program
What have you been dying to try and putting off? 30 day Shred? P90X? Learning Spanish? Pick a program and decide to commit for the full 30 days. Then you can truly help all of us know if it works!
October: Unprocessed Eating
I did this last year and absolutely loved it. Taking a 30 day challenge felt less scary that a full committment, but it change how I thought about food and opened me up to new ways of eating.
November: Holiday Bootie Buster Challenge starts again and Pile On The Miles (hosted by another blogger)
December: Holiday Bootie Buster Challenge is in full force with a focus on increased activity and increased fruits/veggies. 2011 was the 4th year of HBBC and the participation was amazing!
