I am super duper excited! I am absolutely STOKED! And I think you, guys, are going to LOVE IT!
Be sure to check with The Art of Making a Baby and {Shutter}Mama each week since we'll be doing separate posts every Saturday about both food and exercise,and then head on over to Selfie Magic for a Self Portrait lesson and link up.
Now onto the goals. We realize that everyone is in a different situation and has different strengths and weaknesses and amounts of time to devote to their own well-being. Therefore you're encouraged to set your own goals. But to get you started, here are some sample health challenges/goals that you could use.  Afterward you've picked a health goal  head over to {Shutter}Mama to view the fitness part of this challenge. What you could do to improve your eating habits (suggestions):1. Your weight and height (optional):
2. Your fitness challenge(s) for this week:
3. Your food challenge(s) for this week:
4. How well did it go:
5. Failures and slip-ups:
6. Weekly challenge wisdom:
7. Advice to fellow GET FIT members:
8. Your self-portrait ( optional but strongly encouraged)
I realize many of you feel a bit shy and  not-so-confident of how you look, but I cannot stress enough how important it is to break out of that type of thinking. Shooting and posting your self-portraits will not only improve your skills as a photographer but will help fellow members of GET FIT challenge to relate to each other better. Women come in all shapes and sizes, but there's only one size and shape we care about and that's FIT and HEALTHY. And it'd help women immensely to see other girls their size working hard to improve and not being afraid to show off their goodies. This week's Self Portrait theme is "OUR DREAM SELF", a past (self-)portrait of yourself that expresses the form you'd like to get back into.
Sonya and I are very excited about this new project and we hope that you'll see the good in it and join in and help other women by letting them know about the GET FIT Challenge.
So for this week, publish a post with your "Fitness and Health Goals, a picture of your "DREAM SELF" and our Challenge buttons below, join up in our linkies {GET FIT Challenge(below) and Selfie Saturday} using the post's URL, and get ready to GET FIT.
Your initial post and first check-in is due this Saturday, Feb 5th!
Don't forget to display the GET FIT GET HEALTHY buttons ( code on the sidebar)!
