Elle from Nutritionella and Lindsay from The Lean Green Bean created a holiday wellness challenge: Elf for Health Holiday Challenge. It was a huge success with over 900 “elves” spreading health & wellness during the holidays! It was such a success that they created a new challenge: The Healthy sELF Challenge.
The Healthy sELF challenge kicked off on Monday, February 4th (but you can join at any time). They post 3 weekly challenges – Mondays, Thursdays & one every weekend. It’s every man for himself (unlike the holiday pair challenge), so they are encouraging participants to be active on Facebook, Twitter, and/or Instagram! There is a new Healthy sELF Facebook Group! It’s a great place to meet other health seekers, offer encouragement, boost your self-confidence, share recipes, healthy tips, workouts and personal successes. Just request to join and they’ll add you to the group.
A few fun things they added to this challenge:
> A new hashtag – use #healthysELF when you’re Tweeting & Instagramming so other “elves” can get to know you
> A monthly newsletter with the month’s challenges plus short health-related articles & posts from the healthy sELF ambassadors
> Spotlights within the Facebook group
Here are the first challenges – SO do-able!
