Nutrition Challenge


Challenge Synopsis
  • I challenge you to eat as much kale as you can possibly stand everyday this week 
Why Why Why
  • Kale is a Super food - one of the healthiest vegetables you can put on your plate
  • One serving of kale has twice the recommended daily intake of vitamin A
  • One serving of kale provides the entire days worth of vitamin C
  • One serving of kale provides about 7 times the recommended amount if vitamin K  
  • Kale provides a healthy does of fatty acids and minerals
Materials
  • Kale.... Kale... And more Kale

Directions
  • Consume as much Kale as possible over the next 7 days 
  • Add Kale to smoothies, pasta and soup
  • Eat kale raw, braised or steamed
  • I will be posting Kale recipes all week long, so get ready! 
  • If you can’t wait check out this kale balls recipe they are delicious 
My Take
Kale is a serious superfood and I want to be super. Not much more to explain about that. 
Self Improvement Challenge


Challenge Synopsis
  • I challenge you to sing your favorite song everyday this week (preferably at the top of your lungs)
Why Why Why
  • When you sing the musical vibrations alter you physically and emotionally
  • Endorphins are released by singing, which makes you feel very very good
  • Oxytocin is also released during singing which can alleviate anxiety, stress, and symptoms associated with depression and loneliness
  • Singing regularly can improve your quality of life
Materials
  • You 
  • The lyrics to your favorite song, which you should know by heart
Directions
  • Sing your favorite song everyday this week 
  • Get loud and silly with it
My Take
I’m a  sing a the top of your lungs in the car type of chick. Lately I’ve been pumping Nicki Minaj’s new CD and loving it!!! I don’t need an excuse to sing everyday but I’m still excited about the challenge.

Peace & Love, 
Mary
