The May FitChick Challenge: May 1st – May 31st 2013

One month ago I posted this picture on the 4cHairChick Facebook page:

This is the caption I had with the image:

Before you judge me let me share what this is about. I’ve lost close family members to health issues over the years and even with those heartbreaks I haven’t changed my lifestyle. God put it on my heart that it’s time for me to treat my body better. I’m making a vision board about Exercising and this picture is going on my vision board.

The post was viewed more than 2,000 times, 84 people liked the post, and there were 19+ comments.  And several of you were interested in joining me on this mission to be healthier.

Fam, you spoke and I listened. Introducing the May FitChick Challenge, May 1st – May 31st, 2013.

The Plan:

Let me start off by saying that this is not your typical fitness challenge.  There is no weightloss goal, there are no excercise goals, and there are no diet goals.  This challenge is different.  This challenge is not about the moment, tomorrow or even this month. This challenge is about our quality of life, our future, and our ability to make an impact.

For the next 31 days, May 1st – May 31st we are going to take one small action every day with the goal of being able to look back at the end of the month and say to ourselves “this May I lived a healthier lifestyle than I did in April.”

This challenge is intended to be a springboard. The hardest part of anything new is getting started. By doing the May FitChick challenge with me we are working together to take a step forward towards better health.

The Challenge:

The Support:

If you’ve ever played team sports in your life then you understand the value of having loyal teammates.  Loyal teammates will tell you when you are slacking off at practice and encourage you to come harder.  Loyal teammates will cheer for you when they see you are tired and you have that look on your face like you you might give up.  Essentially, loyal teammates keep you motivated and encouraged.

I want you to know you have four loyal teammates to help you along during this challenge.
