Happy New Year! My New Year’s Resolution is to exercise more, (after I eat a traditional Southern meal of pork tenderloin, collard greens, black eyed peas, and corn bread.) Unless you count teaching four year olds, I have gotten out of the habit entirely. My excuse has been that I don’t have time. I think that as Moms we do tend to put ourselves last on the priority list. A good friend of mine told me recently that if you give all of yourself away, you don’t have anything else to give to anyone. With that thought in mind, I made a promise to myself to carve out time for exercise, to recharge.
You have probably figured out, dear reader, that I am a fan of Sam Heughan and Bear Strength Clothing Co. My immense respect increased dramatically when they unveiled My Peak Challenge on December 28, 2014. In collaboration with Fight Camp, they have created a program to motivate individuals to reach their personal goals while at the same time raising money for Beat Blood Cancer. When you sign up, you receive information, Peak Gear, photos and a % of your purchase goes to charity. It is explained so well at Bear Strength’s web site, www.bearstrength.co.uk/index.php/mypeakchallenge.
My Welcome Pack is ordered, and I am so excited to start my own challenge! I have ordered a shirt and a vest in the past. They are so soft! The web site, http://www.bearstrength.co.uk, is user friendly, and converts to US currency. They ship to the United States. I had a wonderful experience the first time I ordered from the company. They carry men’s women’s, and children’s apparel, with plans for #MyPeakChallenge merchandise for our bear cubs in the future.
I followed the BAM Strength Girls blog in December, www.bamstrengthgirls.wordpress.com, and am ready to jump in with both feet today. The 30 Days of Change Challenge kicks off on January 1, 2015. Follow them on Twitter, @BAMstrength; they are using the hash tag #BAMchange to track the fun.
I am also going to borrow the #Heughligans @Heughligans Twitter post from three days ago,
Follow: @MyPeakChallenge @BearStrength @F1ghtCamp & of course, @SamHeughan To reach YOUR peak. http://www.bearstrength.co.uk/index.php/mypeakchallenge … #MyPeakChallenge

I was on Pinterest yesterday, and found some items posted by pinners when I searched “My Peak Challenge”.
I am proud to be repping Bear Strength in Florida. Through the miracle of Twitter, I met an Outlander Fan that lives in my neighborhood, so I have my workout buddy, #MyPeakChallenge pack preordered, and Inspiration.

I am going to have to think about posting pictures. For now, I am very comfortable keeping myself covered in plaid. I look forward to seeing and hearing from all of the #MyPeakChallenge participants!
Thanks again for reading!
