I&#8217;ve been so blown away by all of you who have joined! Some of you have written me and said that your kids, husbands (and even a Grandma!), and friends are joining in! It&#8217;s so awesome, and even though a lot of people aren&#8217;t entering the contest part&#8230;it gives my heart warm fuzzies knowing that others are getting healthier in the process! One note I got said that as she <!--more-->shared her smoothie, her friend commented, &#8220;It doesn&#8217;t even taste &#8216;healthy&#8217;!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I think that&#8217;s what eating should be like&#8230;enjoying healthy food without sacrificing taste. Life is far too short to shove carrots and kale down our throats when we hate it. There&#8217;s clever ways (and different foods) to get the nutrition our body needs. Inspiring health in a fun (&amp; yummy) way, that&#8217;s what makes me love blogging so much.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s your CHALLENGE for week 2!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/js6W9xPUkl8\" height=\"315\" width=\"510\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>If you watched the video, you know my goals for this week&#8230;so tell me yours in the comments!
