For the past while I've been in a funk.... so what better to break it than a little competition and goal setting? A friend in my ward decided to do this challenge and when I saw it I knew if I didn't do it I would remain in my funkified state for a long time and it was getting old! The rules are pretty easy- you get one point per day in 10 different areas for a possible 10 points. You complete one thing, you get a point- you don't do it, then no point for you. Whoever gets the most points at the end of the 8 weeks wins (most of) the pot of $. The rest of the $ goes to a random person who completed the majority of the challenge.
What I like most about this challenge is that it doesn't merely focus on the physical aspect of things, but the spiritual and emotional as well. Here's the daily list in case you didn't go to the link...
Physical
1-Exercise 45 min
2- Sleep at least 7 hours
3-Drink 8 glasses of water
4-No Sugar
5-No pop or junk food
6- Eat at least 2 servings of fruit & 2 servings of vegetables

Emotional/Spiritual
8-Write in your journal
9- Read your scriptures for at least 15 min
10-Complete an act of service
(One free day is permitted every week)
Today was day one and it went pretty well. (If I can't do it on the first day then that would be pretty sad!) I was tempted to not 'buy-in' and just do it all on my own... but knowing me I would have given in after a few temptations so I'm glad I committed! It's going to be great!
PS-It's not too late to join in! =)
