LIFE CHANGE in 30 days...

It's hard to believe that a year ago I started this blog... posted a couple of times and that was it. My excuse??? Let me think about that one... I'm sure if I think long enough I'll come up with something REALLY GREAT!

Now that I've thought about it, and taken those few moments to contemplate my response, and I'm certain you'll be totally impressed with my ultra spiritual and mature answer. I now say before you... a confession of truth... and that truth is............... (I hope you're ready for this because you are going to be amazed!)...

My dog ate my computer??? :-D OK OK... he didn't eat my computer. I simply got busy with life, unimpressed with me and this became something that I no longer made time for. That's the real truth.

Here it is a year later and God has done so many amazing things. I'm still not impressed with me. :) But I'm totally impressed with God and everything He has done this past year! He is amazing!!!

The start of this blog once again is to share an exciting adventure with all of you!

Starting Monday, April 25th, we're going to begin a

30 DAY GET FIT Challenge!

What does that mean? Different things for different people. It's about goal setting and life change. Choosing Life... One Moment at a Time.

My goal, (yours will probably be totally different from mine), for this 30 day Challenge is to walk 125 miles in that time frame. Did I actually say 125? Whew. OK then... Now I'm accountable since I'm sharing it with you. :)

I'm also going to do 3,000 crunches! That may not seem like that much, but it's a 100 per day. I don't even do ONE per day right now. Unless of course you count the side crunch I do every morning when the alarm goes off and I lean over, twist and temporarily exert myself as I slam the snooze button. Does that count as a crunch? I'm sure I burn at least 2 calories during that physical show of mastery over the alarm clock. One must show those horrible noise makers who is boss!

And... my final goal for the 30 days is: I want to lose 10 pounds! If I eat right, exersize and hit the alarm clock snooze at least 5 times each morning, (which means getting up at 4AM), I will have accomplished my goal! OK... I think I'll leave off that 4AM thing. I SO don't see that one happening.

SO WHO'S IN IT WITH ME??? Will you set some kind of personal goal and work with me to accomplish it in 30 days? We can help each other through this. This isn't a new year’s resolution... it's a jumpstart to LIFE CHANGE. It could be a physical, emotional, financial or spiritual goal. The choice is all yours.

Some potential ideas to consider:
- A weight loss (or weight gain) goal
- An exercise goal
- Giving up sugar for 30 days (except of course chocolate... that's just plain dangerous.) ;-)
- Committing to read one chapter in the Bible a day
- Committing to read 2 books in 30 days that will help you to grow
- Committing to pray 5 minutes a day
- Memorizing 10 new Bible verses
- It could be a relationship goal... working on relationships around you or a specific one
- Maybe it's choosing to forgive someone
- It could be cleaning out your garage... spring cleaning... painting a room or multiple rooms.
- Choosing not to eat out for 30 days and putting that money into savings... or paying off a bill... or something else.

You get the idea. It's a personal goal for you... It can be anything. But whatever it is, we'll support you in it as best as we can. :)

My guess is something is already coming to your mind. What would you like to accomplish in 30 days? What COULD YOU accomplish in 30 days with a support system of many who will walk beside you offering encouragement and help?

I'm going to help you any way I can. Which includes telling you if I gave in to the lust of my flesh and indulged in milk chocolate. It's hard for me to resist. :) We can talk about the ups, downs, highs, lows, funny moments and frustrating ones. I’ll share it all… and you are welcome to as well if you feel comfortable.

Let's be accountable to each other and meet our goals together. Together WE CAN do this!!! I even have people who know fitness and diet that will help us in our journey as well if those are one of your goals. And many of you also will have some incredible things to share that we will all benefit from.

So what do you think? Are you ready??? It's only 30 days! Let's do this. Let's have some fun together!!!

What is YOUR GOAL? :) Please post it below in the comment section when you're ready to share and commit to this journey! Day 1 is only a couple of days away!!! It's going to be a blast!

More to come...
