March 2015

Did you start off the new year promising yourself you were going to clean up your diet, cut out processed food, and get healthy? And by February were you diving headfirst into an extra-large, extra-cheese pizza? Well don’t lose heart! A new local movement is encouraging Rochestarians to focus on healthy, whole foods – and you can join in!

The ROC Eats Real Challenge will officially kick off on May 3rd, and through weekly challenges, expert presentations and community support, the Challenge will aim to help you take a fresh start with real food. Sign ups are going on through the end of April. Why not gather a few of your neighbors at Elmwood Manor Apartments to sign up together and keep each other accountable? Perhaps holding weekly potlucks or discussions that fit in with each challenge could help keep everyone on track. A healthy community is a happy community, after all! This would also be a great thing to get the whole family involved in. For more information and to sign up, visit the ROC Eats Real Challenge website.
