I am joining Money Saving Mom in 2014 on her 12 Months to a Healthier You Challenge!
Every month she is focusing on one challenge area each month — all with the goal of being in a healthier place as a person by the end of the year. The hope is that as we work on instilling one new healthy habits each month, they won’t just be month-long challenges, but lifelong changes.

For January, I committed to 30 minutes of vigorous walking three times a week. The verdict? I did it! Most weeks in January, I was able to walk 4 -5 times. The best part is, I am now walking on my lunch break at work with four other ladies. We started doing the DVD Walk Away the Pounds by Leslie Sansone. We do the 2 mile walk and it takes us a little over 30 minutes to complete. This also does an upper body workout using weights. I am so excited that I am reaching my goal and that I have a great group of women to motivate me. This habit will definitely continue in 2014!
For February, the challenge is to eat more fruits and vegetables. To achieve this goal, I am going to pack a least one fruit and one vegetable for snacks every day at work. This will guarantee me to eat a fruit and vegetable at least 5 times per week!
Yay Good for you! As you know I'm doing this challenge too and so glad. It helps me feel better to exercise and take better care of myself. Tonight I cut up all the fruit we had, added some honey and a little lime juice. Mangoes, blackberries, blueberries and clementines. Pretty tasty, I could've eaten it all myself!
