I made it back into the US late last night and I have to admit it’s good to be back in the land of running water, clean clothes and sleeping indoors. 12 days doesn’t seem like a lot but I am definitely having to get used to the comforts of home again.

Mexico was great but I don’t think I have ever been so exhausted. More on the trip later there is a lot to catch up on now that I am home.

This month I am participating in a WordCount Challenge Blogathon or more simply I am trying to blog every day in June. I have already missed the first day because I was traveling in a van with no internet connection. I will try to make up for it by blogging twice on a day once, but I don’t want that to become a fall back for missing other days.. The purpose of this exercise is to work on creating a better habit of blogging and my writing skills. Now the trick is to figure out what to write about. I can’t believe it’s June already and full on triathlon season!

So many fun Challenges to participate in this time of year, I thought I would pass along another one incase you love this kind of fun like I do!

Elle for Nutritionella has come up with Elf for Health challenge

Copied from her site:

Introducing the Elf for Health Holiday Challenge! This is a six week challenge that will run from the Monday after Thanksgiving thru the first week in January. There will be daily tasks, daily winners, prizes, weekly newsletters, and a Facebook group for support.

And are you ready for the best part? You’ll have an elf to support and encourage you! When you sign up, you will also be committing to be an elf for someone in return. Over the course of the challenge, you will have three different elves.

Sounds like a great way to stay motivated and meet new people over the holidays doesn’t it?! Since this challenge is internet based, anyone can participate… no matter where you’re located! All you need is access to the internet and an email address.

So what does an Elf do?

Elf Duties

As an Elf, you are expected to support your assigned buddy with their holiday health goals and the daily challenges. Elves & buddies will be reassigned every 2 weeks. You are only asked to email your buddy 2 times per week:

• Monday: Send your buddy an email to help them with the challenges for that week. Ideas of things to include/attach: your own personal tips & tricks, inspiring words and/or images, a new, healthy recipe or workout to try.
• Thursday – Saturday: Any time during these days, check in with your buddy! For example, ask them if they tried a new recipe, workout, or had fun with any certain challenges. Feel free to tell them how you did with your challenges, too!

Anything more than those 2 emails is up to you but feel free to go above and beyond this to show your support! Just a few ideas: send your buddy Tweets, shout outs on our Facebook Page, email a fun workout you liked or send a hand written recipe or note.

Sounds like fun! SHe even provides a nice calendar that you can use as a google cal, so helpful! Will you join?
