Get Healthy – MrsKirstyHoll

Received this surprise in the mail this week - a sponsorship back from RNLI — Received this surprise in the mail this week – a sponsorship back from RNLI

Like many things in my life – I found this challenge on my Facebook feed. I’m hunting for a way to improve my personal health and I’m keeping an eye out for any blog articles that will help me. My main aim for this is to see whether there would be an actual affect on me if I reduce my coffee intake.

I am a total coffee addict – so I’m still not entirely sure how I am going to cope hope without coffee for 10 days. But I did receive this very awesome welcome pack in the mail the other day from the RNLI. So that is making more more optimistic.

I’m pretty sure my favourite part is the tattoos – thanks RNLI! But will try to make use of the sponsorship form – it would be great to raise some money as well as try and get healthy.

This challenge also comes with its own app – which I have downloaded. There is a few challenges and a counter so show how much you’ve raised – you can help my total (currently 0) by clicking here.

The challenge officially starts at 5pm on the 2nd June and runs until 5pm on the 12th. I think it might be the hardest 10 days of my life (except for the 10 days before my dissertation hand in date – that was pretty stressful!)

Giving up everything non water for 10 days in June

** BOOKMARK THIS PAGE – I WILL KEEP A DIARY OF MY PROGRESS HERE ONCE THE CHALLENGE STARTS**

As one of my resolutions is to actually get healthier – I am constantly on the look out for any ideas that might help in this endeveur. So this article by the Daily Mail about 3 women who had given up anything non-water for 10 days caught my attention. Reading through the article, I then also realised that this was a challenge for charity – the RNLI (headquarters located about 5 minutes from my house). The idea is to give up coffee, tea, cola, lemonade, alcohol etc for 10 days and encourage your family and friends to donate.
