Back by popular demand, it’s our annual Healthy Holiday Challenge — with a twist! 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 … and have some FUN. New this year: #healthyselfies and additional prize opportunities! 

This year’s challenge runs weekdays Dec. 3-28. 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 22 kids!
 
Two lucky winners determined by drawing at the end 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 new #healthyselfie fun!
 
How Do I Participate?
  1. Join the challenge any time by signing up here with a $5 entry fee (proceeds will benefit Feed My Starving Children).
  2. Download our Healthy Holiday Challenge Goal Sheet​  (PDF) to put your goal in writing each week and track your progress.  This is for your use only, you will not need to turn it in. For a list of sample goals, see below!
  3. Watch for our HHC post to our National Facebook Page every weekend in December, and comment on the post by Monday with what your goal is for the next week and whether you reached your goal from the previous week. “Goal weeks” run Monday through Friday. With your last check-in, post the number of total goals that you met (limit one per week). Our optional “Aim to Maintain” Challenge will also count as a goal: score one goal if you are able to maintain your weight* during the challenge!
  4. Watch for fun bonus prize opportunities on Facebook with our #healthyselfie challenge, details to come! All photos will be welcome in this category; they are not required to be selfies.
 
Healthy Lifestyle Categories: Choose your Challenge!
Choose a new goal each week in any of the following seven categories. (The following sample goals are intended as examples only.)  Be honest with where you are currently at and give yourself a challenge! This challenge will be on the honor system. 
 
Category #1: Nutrition (Veggies, Fruits, Healthy Fats, Less Sugar)
Eat a greens salad for lunch every day.
 
Category #2: Hydration
Keep a 24-oz. water bottle at desk to drink throughout the day, refilling at least twice.
 
Category #3: Sleep
Go to bed by 10:30 p.m.
 
Category #4: Exercise (Strength, Cardio, Stretching)
Do 3 strength training sessions of at least 20 minutes each.
 

Category #5: Daily Physical Activity
Get up from desk once every hour to walk the nearby flight of stairs.
 
Category #6: Relaxation/Stress Management
Read a book for 15 minutes before bed every night.
 
Category #7: Self-care
Do foam rolling for calves, quads and IT bands at least 5 minutes every other day.


​*If you are underweight or pregnant and it is medically recommended for you to gain weight, you may still earn the extra bonus goal if your weight goes up as it should.

Must be 18 or older and a U.S. resident to register. Children are welcome to participate alongside you for fun! 

P.S. We have not forgotten how well-loved our original Healthy Holiday Challenge was from years past. It has not gone away! We are repurposing it for another time of year and you will learn more very soon. ;)

Sign me up for the challenge!
