April Challenge for the mind and body!

I'm excited about the April Health Challenge some of my friends and I are doing.! It's a little of everything and well some might not think it sounds hard but it will take a conscious effort to keep it up!

1. Get a minimum of 8 hours of sleep at least 2 nights a week.
2. Go for a walk or run OUTSIDE at least 2 times a week. Enjoy the fresh air! No treadmill, no indoor laps, etc.
3. Make 2 colorful well balanced meals every week and post a picture either on this thread!

:happy: Who's in????

    I walked a mile today and will try to get 2 more in this evening. I had a beautiful dish Friday night and have pics on my phone lol. Today was not as interesting: ham, mash potatoes, and collards. At any rate, didn't take a pick lol. I'll give it some thought. Thanks for coming up with this month's challenge!

    I'll NEVER have a problem with the eight hours EVERY night....I likes me sleepytime (lol). I still don't see where or how to add pics on here though??? Am I deficient or is there no way to do that on the forum??
