#mayhealth begets #junehealth
A long, long time ago ((By which I mean 30 days ago.)), in a galaxy far, far away ((By which I mean, right here)), I told you about a little thing called the May Health Challenge. The challenge, as it were, was to do something for your health for 30 days. The challenges I chose were:
- eat breakfast every morning
- doing some form of physical activity every day
So, I’m sure you are wondering: how did I do? Well, far be it from me to keep you in suspense. To the spreadsheet!
The good news first: I accomplished challenge #1 by eating breakfast every single day. It wasn’t always the healthiest breakfast, but it was never terrible and I managed to do it every single day.
I wasn’t quite so successful with challenge #2, but I managed 26 of 30 days. Those other four days – well, quite honestly, I forgot. I seriously got through entire days where I got so busy that went through my whole day, then went to bed, without even remembering I was supposed to do some exercise. Usually I would remember the next day when I was trying to decide what to have for breakfast (since, for some reason, I never seemed to forgot that my other challenge was to eat breakfast!). On the plus side, I went running FIVE times, which is more than all the times I went running in 2012 prior to May! So, yay me!
In celebration of the success of the May Health Challenge, the Guelphites who created the Challenge, had a par-tay today, which I just now as I’m typing this am remembering I totally meant to Skype into (oops!). Since I wasn’t able to attend the festivities in person and partake of the celebratory treats, I decided to make a treat of my own ((I also realized that it is the last day of May and since I’m trying to bake something different every month for one year as per item #25 in my 101 list, I needed to bake something today to keep up with that. In related news, Devon is a big fan of item #25.)). Specifically, this coffeecake:
I know it looks like a big cookie, but it is, in fact, a coffeecake.
Close up!
So, now that May Health is over, I’m sure you are wondering what I’m going to do next ((Actually, I’m pretty sure you weren’t wondering that at all.)). Well, I feel like I haven’t really made these two health behaviours into real habits yet, so I’m extending the May Health Challenge into a June Health Challenge – going to see if I can eat breakfast every day for another 30 days, and actually do some physical activity every single day too! Wish me luck!

Enjoyed reading the blog which I found due to a RT. Intrigued to see if you are able to make June even more successful than May. Good luck on all your challenges and goals.
Thanks, Amber! Did you do #mayhealth as well?
That looks so delicious. And so pretty. Now I want one 🙁
