Day 2 - Day of Many Challlenges

Today I have been able to earn all 10 points for the day again.  I am going to count this as a huge success.  We celebrated the Graduation of 2 nieces at my in-laws and there was what seemed like enough food to feed an army.  The food was all very yummy and I managed to have no sweets (which was difficult as there was homemade ice cream and cake with lots of frosting) and had no chips or other junk food.  I only drank water and tea. 

About 20 minutes ago, I was thinking I was hungry, but then checked the time and realized it was past 8, so I am going to have MORE water!!  I figured it was better than using my free point...

More tomorrow.

Day 1 - Wellness Challenge

I can honestly say that I am VERY excited to start this wellness challenge.  I am ready for a change and it has to start inside.  This is a great way to get that going.  Here is a reminder of what I will be challenging myself to every day:

1. Drink 48 ounces of water
2. 45 minutes of exercise daily
3. Consume 2 servings of veggies and 2 servings of fruit
4. NO soda or alcohol
5. No sweets (desserts, pastries, candy, sugary snacks or cereals - but sugar free alternatives are fine) NO fast food or unhealthy snacks (potato chips,etc.)
6. NO eating after 8:00pm
7. Read 15 minutes of spiritual or uplifting text
8. Write in your journal
9. Express specific appreciation, love or praise to another person
10. Set a weekly personal goal to accomplish daily (read to your kids 15 minutes a day, get 8 hrs of sleep per night, etc.)

Looks like I am off to a good start... I have the journal point earned.   I have been thinking about what I want to have as my weekly personal goal and have decided that I need to get at least 8 hours of sleep.  Since I am up at 7 am every morning, I need to be in sleep mode by 11pm. 

For those of you that know me, this is really a challenge, but I am sure I can stick to it.

Happy Wellness!!
