The beginning

Nate and I are doing a little challenge to see if we can develop better habits. It seems if you want to do something bad enough you can do it under any circumstances, but I think that our current circumstances (Nate being done with school) will allow us little excuse not to do something like this. Here are our challenges and we are going to try to stick to it for 12 weeks. I think after that some of them might stick to us.
1 7 hours of sleep
2 48 oz. water
3 45 minutes of exercise (not necessarily consecutive)
4 2 servings of veggies, 2 servings of fruit
5 No soda, beer, wine, unhealthy snacks, or bad fast food [anything FRIED]
6 No sweets [desserts, pastries and sugary snacks & cereals] * sugar-free alternatives are ok
7 No eating after dinner/8pm
8 15 minutes of scripture reading (or other spiritual text if you don't do scripture)
9 One journal entry (any length)
10 Express sincere appreciation or praise to your spouse (if single, to another person)
Note: You have one free point per category per week, of your choice, or you can choose a day where all 10 points will be given.

Exceptions
You are excused from the sweet rule on YOUR BIRTHDAY.
You are allowed three sick days where you are excused from exercising and eating veg/fruit/water [if you can’t eat/drink] This is ONLY to be used if you are indeed sick.

Daily posts must include:

Let's see if I can do this! I have a goal to fit into my pants by Christmas. This challenge ends the first part of the new year.
