Inspiration for the Holidays and November Giveaway

The holidays have begun. Are you ready? 

I'm a parent now (well I was last year too but J is a little more with it this year) and am starting to see how the holidays can be a bit overwhelming. To top it off we are hoping to be in our new home sometime in late December. Yay!! By the way, here's the latest picture from this past weekend:

The holidays can be a tough time for the healthy eater. Temptation lurks around every corner - busy schedules, parties, holiday baking, and exercise can get kicked to the curb pretty quickly.

Exercise is one of my life balance anchors. It seems to keep many other things in line. When I don't get some sort of exercise in, a lot of things feel off.

One of the best ways I've found to keep my exercise a priority during the holidays is to have a goal. Usually, I try to do some sort of race during the month of December. Not only does it give me something to work towards, it always ends up being a really fun event too.

So I encourage you to take a minute and make an exercise plan for the holidays. What are you going to do, what goal do you have and who will be a helper to make sure it happens?

Think about it. Right now.

To help you out, I am offering a really exciting, really fun, giveaway this month on FFP. The prize to be won are 2 entries into the Color in Motion Jacksonville 5K on December 29th courtesy of Color in Motion 5K.

That's right. One lucky winner will win 2 entries into this Jacksonville Florida race (one for you and one for a friend). The contest is running from today till Wednesday, November 21st at midnight and is open to anyone who is able to be in Jacksonville on December 29, 2012 for the race.

If you don't end up winning, a 15% discount on your registration is available for FFP readers using the code: FRESHFOOD15. This looks to be a super fun event and I'm really happy that it will benefit Hubbard House. 

 

Good luck and here's to a healthy holiday season!

 

Here's a little more on the race:

Color in Motion 5k organizes 5k’s across the country that have a surprise at every kilometer; COLOR!

The difference between these 5k’s and other 5k’s is that they jazz the race (and the racers!) up with bursts of color. You start out all fresh and clean in your white t-shirt, and by the end of the race you are covered in vibrant springtime camouflage.

Color in Motion 5k is coming to Jacksonville on December 29th, 2012. A portion of all registration fees will be donated to the Hubbard House.

Disclosure: The prize was donated by Color in Motion 5K. They have also given me a free registration for the race. All words, except for the italisized blue wording under the 5K picture, are my own. That paragraph was provided by Color in Motion 5K to give readers more information about the race.

My holiday exercise plan is Boot Camp 3-4x a week... but if I win these tickets I'll have to add running, which I typically hate. :P But I'm challenging myself to try a 5k sometime in the future & if I win it'll be sooner than later! Ha!

I'd either take my hubby or maybe my 13 yo son... we jog together some mornings. :)

I would enter this but since I wouldn't be there to run it, that would be sad. =( But your new house ROCKS!!!

I am starting to train for the breast cancer half marathon in February and working on losing 30# in the next 4 months! Thanks Jenna for an awesome deal and providing a fresh prospective ! I love this blog congrats!

[Debra]

This sounds like such an awesome race! I think I would take my boyfriend with me :)

I am running the Donna half marathon on Feb 17th so I plan to stick to my training schedule through the holidays. It will keep me on track for a great race and keep me sane through the craziness!

I plan to take my husband to the race with me if I win the 2 entries. he has been running for about a year and recently has dropped his speed so we can finally run together. it's a great treat!
