Every January I spend a fortune on stationery.
I buy coloured markers, elaborate calendars and family planners, I print charts and meal planners and sign up for endless ambitious activities. But every year, my disjointed plans and enthusiastic organisation wanes a few weeks in. Each year I vow to find a family health plan that we can actually stick to.
If you are like me, and have resolved to make 2017 your year for getting fit and eating well, there may be no better time.
Our New Year’s resolution to get off the couch could now actually happen.
We have teamed up with Lidl to offer five families a five-week programme for getting fit and healthy.
Lidl will provide €200 a week of fantastic FREE groceries and in return you will simply complete a fun weekly activity and update us with your pictures via your social media channels – a win-win!
Making exercise fun and doing it side-by-side with your loved ones is a great motivator. It is also important for your children to see you taking health and wellbeing seriously and introducing a healthy eating and exercising mentality early in life.
You will be given dietary tips to complement the programme, providing the great kick-start to the New Year we all so badly need.
You will give us a weekly round-up on your progress using Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, which we will track on our pages and you will have the chance to win a family break away worth €3,000 on completion of the five-week healthy living challenge.
So if you want to make some small steps toward getting your family healthy this year, fill out this online form and be in with a chance to be selected for this fantastic programme!
At the end of the plan, you’ll have created a foundation that not only will give great rewards to you and your family, but we bet you’ll be ready to look for other ways you can become even healthier long into 2017.
So fling out those markers (they will only draw on the walls with them anyway) and get ready to make this year your healthiest yet.
