Katie Heddleston of Healthy Heddleston is hosting a January health challenge and it starts tomorrow! Start Clean 2013 will help take the motivation you have at the beginning of the year, and guide you in daily tasks to ensure your motivation goes beyond the first day or week of 2013! Many of the daily tasks will be food related, as Katie has been a dietitian for over three years. Don’t worry though, this challenge is fun! Plus, #StartClean2013 has 15 awesome sponsors, who will be providing weekly and grand prizes! Want a supportive and motivation challenge? Considering joining in!
Beginning January 7th, 2013, I and a few friends will be embarking on a
30 day real food challenge!
The challenge involves consuming real food and real food only for 30 days.
Not only will I be participating in this challenge I will also post tips on recipes, workouts and simple daily changes to help guide you and myself throughout this journey. I’m not saying this will be easy and yes there will be ups and downsbut as a group with a great support system it will be a little easier to stay on track.
Now who’s in???
