The #SummerHealthChallenge was Born Out of Necessity and Need for Community

It was the summer of 2013, my own weight loss and motivation was waning. I was talking it over with my husband and he said, what if you tie
something in with your blog? The man is a genius! Helping others is a BIG motivation to me and he knew it! So the Summer Health Challenge was born!

So I came up with an attainable goal for weight loss from Memorial Day to Labor Day, 10 pounds (easy to remember and an easy time to get outdoor exercise). It is about 98 days, like 12 weeks or so, 10 pounds and it’s totally do-able. So while I can also help myself, I can help all of you that may need it!

Fast forward to 2016 and this challenge is more about health than weight loss.

Why? I think the idea that you NEED to lose weight to be happy is not healthy. I want the focus and emphasis to be on health and fitness rather than the scale. For those victories will always be there and are a much better measure of success. How can you forget the first time you ran a mile without stopping? That you completed a 5k!

How does it work?

Every week there will be a new mini challenge, something to focus on and learn from. I will post weekly about the mini challenge here on the blog and you will also see it posted on IG @nybeerfitclub as well as my Facebook page and my free and private Facebook group, The Beer Fit Club.
