Water Challenge and Step Challenge

I felt like being a real go-getter this year, so I made a crazy decision to make my coworkers compete with me so I had motivation to meet some of my health goals.

Water and step seemed easiest (and the least embarrassing - compared to weight loss or inches lost)
We ALL are terrible at drinking enough water while we are working - or in my case, EVER.And stepping is easy to track if you have a phone app or a Fitbit, which I got for Christmas.

I made the Step Challenge free to enter, but for super motivation, the Water Challenge was $5 to enter and the winner at the end of the month gets the pool.
The pool is $75!!!

For the first time in my life I am actually super motivated to drink water, and I am so proud of myself.
And I think I am actually in the lead for the water challenge. Definitely not the step challenge... but, I'm going to start trying harder.

I encourage anyone struggling with meeting their goals like I do to try and challenge their friends or cowokers, even your family! Give some kind of incentive - try for a healthy one - and see if it makes a difference for you. I'm honestly surprised that it worked for me.
