adventurous april.

april is dedicated to being adventurous! trying new exercises, eating new foods, testing different trends, making new friends, and anything else that is a NEW adventure for you.

the way it works is simple.. you just get out there and do something you wouldn’t usually do, then report back to me. i challenge each of you to try at least ONE new thing each week. and by new thing i mean ANYTHING. these things can big or small–just as long as you are putting your adventure pants on and taking a step out of your comfort zone.

some examples:

• pick up a new-to-you food on your next grocery run
• try a new machine at the gym
• go sky diving
• give a new cooking method a shot
• take a fitness class you’d usually not be caught dead in
• volunteer somewhere
• try making something with yeast (scary)

obviously these are just examples.. and some of the items on the list may not be an adventure to YOU or be something out of YOUR comfort zone.. but i just wanted to give you an idea of the broad range of adventurous options that exist.

what’s a challenge without prizes? each week i will pick a random adventurous april participant’s submission and they will receive that week’s featured prize. here are the prizes.
