New Year is Here!

Well here it is, a new year! I cannot honestly say if I say that energetically or sarcastically! The weight of what I need to face has bogged down on my shoulders, as I have strived hard to come up with a plan. But here is what I have:

I am again going to do a 100 day challenge. So join with me if you want!

What is required?

A willing heart and motivation. Courage to overcome fear. And hope for a better you!

In the 100 days here is what I plan to do daily, weekly and monthly.

Daily:

Follow a proper eating plan.

I have chosen again to follow food ideas from Jillian Michaels. Her food plans have been realistic and adoptable. I am not starving myself, and also not forsaking and I think that is important when trying to eat right. It is the balance that is the key and she has a great plan for it.

Read something spiritual or uplifting every day.

I am still reading the Old Testament. I also with my family will be reading the Doctrine and Covenants. My father has written a blog on it and posts comments for a chapter a day. It is a great source for extra help and insight. If you do not want to read scripture, choose a book that compels you to do better, be better, and motivates you to change.

RECORD

I plan to write daily in a personal journal. I have found the best time to write is right after I read.

WEEKLY

Exercise, Exercise, Exercise.

My goal is to exercise five days a week. I am also following the workouts from Jillian Michaels. Mainly because they push me and force me to challenge myself, which I love. I will admit that I have cried through some of them, but it is a good cry! :)

Weigh In

I will weigh in weekly, on Mondays. I like Mondays because it puts my perspective in check and forces me to work hard that week.

Record

I will post a weekly post, sometimes more to keep you updated on my progress.

Monthly

Inventory

This is where I return to my goals and chart my progress. I also make new goals. It is basically a time for me to set and maintain my goals, reminding myself to keep going. I have found that going through past journal entries has been very rewarding, to see where I start and how far I have come.

My Goals:

Sixty pound weight loss

Happier

Healthier

More knowledable.

To eat better.

To begin and make a new habit in my health.
