MARCHING OUR WAY TO A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
March 2016 WISH Challenge
Hello and
to this month’s WISH Challenge.
March 2016 WISH Challenge
Hello and
to this month’s WISH Challenge.I’m Sarah (also occasionally known as @SarahDisney), and I’ll be your hostess for this month’s challenge. I hope you’ll all join us as we March our way to a healthier lifestyle, using Disney Parades as our guide!
Congrats to everyone who joined us for the February challenge. I know we all appreciate Wall-E, Eve, and @courtneybeth ’s leadership, and I hope everyone who participated enjoyed that challenge! But February is over, and now it’s time to MARCH into a new month.
This challenge officially starts on March 1st, but if you find us later in the month, we’re still happy to have you join!
Our returning faces know the drill, but for those of you who are new to the WISH Challenge, here’s a short overview of what we’re all about:
WISH stands for “We’re Inspired to Stay Healthy,” and that’s what we’re all about – living a healthy lifestyle. Whether you’re trying to lose some weight, trying to maintain your current weight, or trying to introduce some new healthy habits into your life (or stick to healthy habits you’ve already introduced), we’re here to help and support you.
All you have to do is pick a goal for the month, and report in once a week to let us know how you’re doing. We’ll also have questions of the day, WooHoo Wednesdays, and weekly challenges … and we’re always here to chat, support you when you need some help, and celebrate with you when you’re doing awesome! We’ll have questions of the day to talk about, weekly challenges, and some other fun things going on … but all of that is optional. The only mandatory thing is committing to a healthy lifestyle, and letting us help you along the way!
Some extra details:
Reporting In: Progress updates will be posted every Monday (3/7, 3/14, 3/21, 3/28), as well as a final progress report after the month ends . To be included in the progress update, all you have to do is report your percentage towards your goal, either here on the thread or via private message (just click my name and click “Start Conversation”). For example, if your goal is to lose 4 lbs and you’ve lost 2, just let me know somehow that you’re at 50%, and I’ll include you in the progress report. Many people here weigh-in over the weekend, but if you weigh-in during the week, that’s fine – use your normal weigh-in or reporting day (because not everyone tracks weight as their goal), and I’ll just include it on the next progress update. If you have any questions, feel free to ask – we’re a friendly group and people are always happy to answer your questions.
Question of the Day: Each day Monday through Thursday we’ll have a question of the day posted to spark a discussion and hopefully help you in your healthy journey. Questions can range from sharing your goals to questions intended to make you reflect on your journey and what it means to you. Feel free to answer all of the questions or just the ones that appeal to you most – participation in the QOTDs is totally optional, but we’re happy to read anything you have to say. We’ll also have “Wildcard Weekend” starting on Fridays, which is a random topic of discussion for the weekend … could be health-related, could be Disney … you won’t know until you see it! On Sunday afternoons we’ll have “Summing it Up Sunday,” a way to reflect on our week and reinforce the lessons we’ve learned over the past 7 days.
Weekly Challenges: We’re also introducing something new this month – weekly challenges! Every Friday I’ll post a challenge, and you’ll have until the following Thursday to answer the challenge. Challenges are about sharing with your fellow participants and bringing everyone closer to your favorite parts of living a healthy lifestyle. Challenges will hopefully allow us to share what we are most passionate about and introduce that to our friends in a way that helps them live a healthier lifestyle.
Please, pull up a chair, say hi, and join us for this month's challenge! We hope to have a great time working together to reach our goals!
