 The holidays are approaching, which means it's party season. Tempting appetizers, drinks and a slew of activities can put a damper on all of the work you've done throughout the year toward your fitness and health. Once again, we bring you our annual Healthy Holiday Challenge. Simple and sustainable healthy behaviors are key during this hectic month. Choose what lifestyle habit you want to work on each week and keep us posted on your progress. Our goal is to help you maintain your weight and keep you accountable during this busy, festive season — all while having some fun. And since they were so popular last year, once again we'll be featuring #healthyselfies and additional prize opportunities! This year’s challenge runs Mondays through Saturdays, Dec. 2-28. All are welcome to join; Moms on the Run membership not required. A $5 registration fee will go toward our partner charity, Feed My Starving Children, which provides meals for hungry kids around the world. For $5, you will provide a meal to 20 kids! Two lucky winners determined by a drawing at the end of the challenge will each claim a $100 merchandise package from our online store. One will go to a participant who met all weekly goals, and one will go to all participants who checked in. Additional prizes will be given out on facebook weekly, for both checking in with your goals as well as participating in the #healthyselfie fun! How Do I Participate? It's easy! Click here to go to the special Healthy Holiday Challenge page on our website and see the details. Remember, watch for our Healthy Holiday Challenge (HHC) post to the National Facebook page every Sunday in December and comment by Monday with your results from the previous week and your upcoming week's goal.
