It's finally over... or is it? A month ago, the SheSpeaks staff challenged ourselves and our members to take a month and complete personal goals. We asked: Can you really see a difference in your body, your life, or your health, by doing something for 28 days straight? Now that the challenge is officially over, we can tell you what we really think!

How is your challenge going? Tell us about it for the chance to be one of five lucky winners of an Amazon Echo Dot! (P.S. It's not too late to start!)

Turns out, some challenges are better than others...

Prep the Day Challenge, Ann

This challenge proved to me how critical is it for me to prepare for the morning the night before. Unfortunately, it didn't always happen. It was especially tough on nights when I was out of the house. But luckily, I saw how calm the morning atmosphere was when I did do advance planning, so it gives me incentive to keep trying!

Water Challenge, Julia

I can feel my body thanking me for doing this challenge. I had been so used to consuming very little water during the day, that it was hard to remember to keep refilling my water bottle. But forcing myself to pay more attention made drinking water a habit and at the very least, I became more mindful of when I really need to hydrate. I'm definitely planning to continue this challenge indefinitely.

Gratitude Challenge, Carol

I wrote down 10 things I was grateful for each day. Some days my lists was finished by 10am, other days I was writing both yesterday's and today's list, but I did it! It reminded me that I have a good life and there are A LOT Of things to be grateful for, even on bad days. I definitely recommend this challenge because it doesn't cost anything and you already have everything you need. I'll definitely continue, though I may narrow it to just 3 things. 10 was a lot!

Carol is thankful for her son's swim team Mom Carpool...

Cardio Challenge, Missy

I actually surpassed my challenge - I had a goal of biking 3 times a week and most weeks I actually rode 4-5 times. I learned that I couldn't put it off until the end of the day because I would be too tired. But if I rode in the morning, I was full of energy and had a feeling of accomplishment right out of the gate. The best part is that it is now a habit, so I will continue to do it... I'm on a roll!

No Added-Sugar Challenge, Aliza

I do like carbs and sugar so it was hard to give that up entirely. But I've learned that I can just make smarter decisions overall even if I decide to have some sugar in between. I am now much more conscious of how much sugar I'm eating, which will help me make smarter choices for myself and my family.

Aliza realized just how many foods that sugar hides in...

Push-Up Challenge, Susan

This challenge promised to "completely change your body in 28 days." Nope, that didn't happen. I don't really see any significant changes, though I do feel a bit stronger. I was actually able to meet the goal and do all 45 push-ups (though not all at once!) I feel proud that I completed this task, and it inspired me to set another goal for myself.

Healthy Eating: Soup Challenge, Galit

Eating soup every day made me push myself to be creative and I even managed to expand my family's food palates too. Since I also bought soup or pre-cut veggies when I had less time, I saw that I didn't have to exhaust myself to get healthy food on the table. Eating soup every day for a whole month was too long for one type of meal, but I will definitely keep soups into the dinner rotation.

Galit's kids enjoyed her Meatball Tomato Bean Soup...

Meditation Challenge, Kelly

Meditating an average of 20 minutes a day taught me that peace and calmness is attainable at any moment if you focus. Finding the right time of day to dedicate to meditation is hard - some days I didn't get to it, but other days I went above and beyond. I love that there are so many types of medication so everyone can really make it their own and I will definitely continue.

I'm a nurse that does a lot of 16 hours shifts with two teenage kids one of whom is graduating this year from high school and I am a DIYer and a gardening and gardening enthusiast along with too many hobbies as a crafter. My main challenge is that I need some sort of routine to keep my cluttered house organized while still doing all the things that I currently do. Time management is my greatest obstacle and I think I just need help with that. Any suggestions? Or some sort of daily checklist or timetableto develop a routine that would allow me to start organizing and to continue organizing without it being a chore.

I am working very hard on rebuilding several simple self care routines but drinking the recommended amount of daily water is my number one short term goal. Can't wait to feel the benefits of this very important healthy habbit!

All my challenges are going well. Started with one, drinking more water several times a day, then added the grateful challenge. Couple days after that added doing sonething for others daily or as often as I can. Its amazing how easy it is to help others as its the simple daily things that can put a smile on someones face! Ive added cutting out sweets from my diet. Point being it has snowballed which results in Im feeling better every day both physically and emotionally. We truely get as much if not more than the person we do an act of kidness for. Just think what a better world it would be if we all put effort into being kind to others and just doing ONE kind gesture a day!!! 😘😃

I have been working along side everyone, but it has been hard to balance my work life and social life to try to start a future family with my partner.
