Description:
This is a swap for all those of us out there that are working hard to change ourselves! Also, if you are a health buff, then feel free to join in! This is my first swap so I'm going to keep it as simple as possible. Therefore, it will be US only. Sorry, International Friends. Must have a rating of 4.5 minimum and no more than 1 no-send to participate. Newbies with a full profile are welcome! I will be checking! Now ... on to the fun stuff: You will have 2 swap partners. You will pick a minimum of 3 items from the following list to send to each partner, plus one surprise item of your choosing. Crystal Light Individual Packs (3 different flavors) 2 recipe cards with Nutritional Info included An informative or nutritional article Your favorite work out routine A mix CD of your favorite Work Out Jams A pedometer (these are relatively cheap and are a fun motivational tool) 2 low fat and delicious snacks (i.e. granola or energy bar, 100 calorie packs, etc.) A fun or funky water bottle A workout/calorie Journal Surprise Item from You Feel free to add suggestions for the list. Get creative, and remember that the purpose of this swap is to motivate and reward your partners! Make them a "Go YOU!" poster, send them a short note, just have fun with it. *NOTE: Making requests for "don't sends" is fine, but please limit them to only 2 requests.

This is perfect timing for me! I am very excited about this swap.... another idea to add to the list -- a workout journal or goals journal. I know I like to keep track of things like that.

Ooh! That's a good one! I'll add it, thanks a lot for joining!

Not to be picky, but please do not send me a 100 calorie snack pack or the crystal light.

Please do not send me any food or drink items. I am starting a very controlled nutrition plan. Having said that, I love the idea of helping someone else stay focused and I am looking forward to getting support too!

I don't mind the Crystal Light or the snacks... I like to try new (sensible) foods. I'm counting calories, so I should be able to work most healthy foods into my diet.

I would ove any of the items. But, beware of energy bars that are high fat and high calories. I just found 2 different ones under 115 calories. :)

I think this is going to be awesome, what a way to support and bring folks together!!! I can not wait to get my items together to make awesome HEALTHY packages for folks! i am not picky at all...feel that takes the fun out of it all. So i am game for anything you might send! I think there is plenty on the above list that everyone will get some pretty useful things! Some other ideas to add that everyone can use would be: a mini day planner to help track progress as well, A Resistance band, Waterproof watch, wrist weights, yoga or pilates video, a printout of stretches to do, just to name a few. I think this could be one of the best swaps I have seen on here yet! What an idea! Can not wait to get started!!! Rock ON!!!

If someone gets me for a partner, i'm not a big fan of tea, or "energy bars". I don't have food allergies though, so you won't have to worry about that.

RMJ318 and sugar melts in rain, your packages went out today. The nice man at the post office says they should arrive by monday.

hoopsielv and vwwoman07, your package is on the way.

hoopsielv and azureskyz, your packages are on the loose! .... I think the lady at the post office is starting to get irritated with me. laughs
