Hello, lovely people! Do you have trouble getting motivated to go to the gym?

Never fear! I’ve been using this app called Gym Pact since last December (I was a beta tester) and I LOVE it. It’s why I get to the gym three days a week without fail. I’ve also earned $131.28 since I started. I get paid to work out. Talk about awesome!

The concept is this:

  • Every time you go to the gym, you get paid. Real cash, from the people who didn’t work out. Every time you miss a day, you pay however much you pledged.
  • You can set your pact to as little as one day a week, and you can pledge a minimum of $5
  • Gym pact users make 86% of their weekly workouts.
  • Running also counts toward your weekly workouts!
***If you use my referral code “LBMAmySu” you get $5 after you complete your first workout!***

Just enter it during the signup process.

Remember my post about the delicious, clean eating paleo Yawp bars awhile back?

Well the good people who work over at Yawp are giving away free bars to a lucky winner! All you have to do is let me know in the comments what the biggest challenge of eating clean for you. The winner will be announced Sunday night!

I know this month is just getting started, but most of you have probably begin to realize that eating healthy isn’t easy! Last night I was about to buy sushi for dinner at the store, only to look at the ingredients list and realize it was longer than a Dickens novel. My favorite starbucks drinks are loaded with sugar, so I had to cut those out and opt for the unsweetened teas.

This giveaway not only exists to give you guys a really delicious and healthy nutrition bar, but also to help you identify your healthy obstacles so you can overcome them!
