Ok so this is a bit silly, but a challenge to keep things interesting and healthy for the holiday... Starting on December 13(this way we are done by christmas eve) come up witha food or exercise for the "days of Christmas"
For example, On e first day of Christmas my true love gave to me... A healthy Pear muffin!
Get it?
Let's see what interesting things we can do to represent the days with either food or exercise! Remember to take pictures if you can but at least post something!

What a fun challenge! I ran out of time before leaving home to do the last few days... so sorry. Want to post what I intended to do for "10 Lords a Leaping" though, since it was cute!
Doesn't the bowtie make him look "lordly"?
Well done, Fallenangelloves, for doing all the days! Woohoo!0 -
So cute I love you both! Inspire me to cook!0

Dieting and eating healthy does not have to be bland or boring....0
