Based on that, I decided to do two separate challenges -- one for each problem area -- in two consecutive months.
When I got up this morning I was eager to start one of the challenges, and figured it would probably be the homemaking one. Coming off a very busy weekend with grandkids here and also coming home from a getaway meant that there were lots of things to put in order. But as I thought about it more, I realized I should start the health and energy challenge. For one thing, I was already in the exercise and fresh air mode from our getaway. For another, I had some excellent time with the Lord during our getaway and really felt that He would have me work on this area first. So, here we go -- a health/energy back-on-track challenge!
Here's what I'm planning to work on:
*Drinking enough water
* Getting to bed at a reasonable hour
* Eating more fruits and vegetables
* Getting more exercise
* Eating less sugar
* Keeping track of the above each day
* Doing something creative every day (mental health!)
I am starting the challenge today and will end October 31. Lord willing, I will check in every day or two. If any of you would like to tackle a similar challenge, feel free to come here and check in at my kitchen table!
Mrs T, Good for you! I like all your goals especially go to bed at a reasonable hour. I need to work on that!
ReplyDeleteI am trying to lose a few pounds this month and I must admit it is hard Mrs T. I need to add more water and fruits and veggies to my diet as well. Maybe we will motivate each other to keep going for good results this October.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement, ladies! I had a good first day yesterday.
ReplyDeleteYes, Arlene, maybe we will motivate one another. That would be great. Feel free to check in here and share how things are going.
