Coming to you late, (but better late than never!) I am so beyond pleased with all those who participated in the Clean+Lean in January 2015 Challenge! Now before I announce the winner(s)...

Each participant endured (and perhaps suffered) through a month-long, 31 days of #lean15 and #eatclean challenges. Each challenge was designed to get you thinking, not solely about what you should be giving up, but rather about the healthy lifestyle strategies that you can implement into your life ongoing. Each challenge and each day pushed you to try a new type of workout or some form of physical activity; to test out a new way of eating or a healthy nutritional choice. I personally loved trying to act upon, do and POST about each strategically designed challenge and enjoyed seeing all of the participant's posts each day!

I cannot tell you how fun this challenge was for me and one of the best things that I noticed was how it inspired others. There are people in this group that may not have participated formally, joined the challenge late or just didn't have time to really commit. My own family and friends who were not a part of the challenge started to jump on board, cooking family meals that were vegan on one of our many vegan days or ensuring that group activities were planned around the workout challenge of the day. It was the participation of EVERYONE, even those who were not formally a part of the challenge that will lead to healthy choices on a permanent basis. That is all I can hope for, that is all I can work towards inspiring in those around me. I am certain that most would agree that their husband, boyfriend, mother, friends and family all joined in on at least one of the healthy challenges and maybe, just maybe, some little piece of that challenge will stick with them. If we take care of our bodies, our bodies will take care of us. So cheers and I hope the participants (and YOU) have been inspired to change at least one element of your lifestyle, if not more! Amazing job, what a great month we had and I am so excited to bring you many more challenges in the months to come!

Drum roll please....
