We are trying to set up a nice little collection of daily challenges for you all – just to give you something to think about throughout the year, and maybe even for you all to have a goal is fix on. We all need an objective, right. Some of you will be thinking about getting healthier at the moment – so as not to disappoint we have a 30-days to a healthier you challenge. Or perhaps a new year, new you challenge. You can call it whatever you want!
If you are looking for something a little more scientific (this is just our thoughts and does not constitute medical advice and we are not experts), why not check out some of these resources? Joe Wicks 30 day Kick Start Plan, which includes 100 healthy meals too, or perhaps this 30 day Keto plan?
What does the 30 days to a healthier and happier you challenge include?
Obviously, you can decide WHEN you start this yourself. You might want to do it in New Year, but you might want to try it in June before the summer. Alternatively, maybe you have just decided that you need to just DO something now, and its the 13th February (!). Whatever works for you, just go for it!
