July is here...Soon to be 33 !!!Entry #1

Monday, July 02, 2007

Well, I started my Birthday Challenge and I have 3 things I hope to accomplish. So far I'm doing pretty good.

#1: Loose 3 pounds by the 26th (or this month).
#1a: Pay away $3.00 for every pound lost (this month only).

#2: Pay away $3.00 for every 100 minutes of excersie.

#3: Do the Master Cleanse for at least 10 days this month (my 1st time).

I brought the Master Cleanse book and read it. I did a litlle walking yesterday. And I'm gonna try to start adding fruit and veggies to my diet (Karmeisha I'm not ready for just fruits & veggies only to prep) before starting. But you go girl!

We'll see how I ease myself into this new way of living for me. Or as my Dr. T says...I'm on a "back to health roll". I'm not taking leeps and sprinting, so just let me roll!!!!

July Birthday Challenge Ideas??? (July 26)

Monday, June 25, 2007

Okay It's my 2nd day as a member and I'm getting used to SP. I havn't gone for my walk yet but my official date is actually July 1st and there's still the evening to walk (so I havn't really missed my day's goal).

So anyway, this blog is because I'm just starting this weight loss & lifestyle change and am looking for some extra motavation...a challenge! My 33rd birthday is coming up on the 26th of July, 2007 and I want something extra to celebrate.

Any suggestions for a challenge???? If your birthday is in July you should join the challenge with me (once we get one)!!! Or if you just want to celebrate an accomplishment for the month of July... join in! Us leos are sooo generous arn't we! lol

Okay, I hope people write (on this blog) some ideas for a July month challenge and even a birthday reward idea!

My prayers are with you!

Well tomorrow I start my Birthsay Challenge! I'm preparing for a wonderful victory and I believe that God will see me through. My Challenge is as follows: Lose 3 pounds and add $3.00 for every pound lost. Also, add 100 minutes of exercise adding $3.00 for every 100 minute mark. My reward is a trip to the Glen Ivy Hot Springs. The first and last time I went ws on my 26th birthday, (at the end of my radiation treatment). so now 7 years later to return will be a form of wholeness! I made a chart to put on my wall and record my daily minutes, money earned and weight lost. I'll try to write as much as possible. I'm thinking of doing a detox/cleanse for 14 days in between...we'll see how that goes. Stay in touch! Report Inappropriate Comment

2 more days til July 1st. So far I think I'm gonna try Sharon's suggestion of Challenge: Lose 3 pounds from July 1 - 26th. Rewards: I'm still trying to work out. I am also going to add the 100 minute BBQ Challenge: But instead of putting in $1 for every 100min exercised I'm looking to do $2 or 3. This way I'll be able to pay for my reward!!! Well, I can't wait, although I'm still a little scared of how well I'll do. Report Inappropriate Comment

This is a good one, and realistic too! 3 pounds by my birthday and a mani/pedi ... I havn't had one in a while. Thanks! Keep the ideas coming ladies, I have a few more days intil July 1st. And I could always do more than one challenge and/or move an idea to another month... Whatever I choose to do, I'll share for sure! Thanks again Sharon! Report Inappropriate Comment

My Inspirational Quote #1

"I will praise You (Oh Lord), for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well."

~Psalm 139:14 (New King James Version)

Do you have a verse or mantra that you can say to keep your self-esteem up and your well being balanced? If so, what is it? When do you say it?
I'm going to try this one every morning or as often as I can.
