I’m really excited and nervous today as I start a 60-Day Body Challenge with a bunch of local ladies. It’s just the kick in the pants I need to start a healthier lifestyle – for myself and my guys. Way too much sugar and snacking around here – jellybeans, chocolate, chocolate milk – oh wait, that’s just what I’ve been eating…
Anyways, my goal isn’t drastic weight-loss during these sixty days {although I wouldn’t mind that!}. My goal is an overall healthier lifestyle. Dieting is not my thing. But modifying the way we eat in general is something that can last.
I just need some discipline. Ugh. That’s why I’m telling you about this – so you can yell at me to put down that second (or third or fourth) cookie! Accountability is the key, friends.
So, here are my…
Top Ten Goals During the 60-day Body Challenge!
1. Eat more fruits and veggies. All day long.
2. Choose healthier snacks. {See #1!}
3. Drink more water – at least 64 oz a day.
4. Eat more balanced breakfasts.
5. Move more. In other words, get off the computer and do something!
6. Get more sleep – at least seven hours each night.
7. Serve more balanced meals for lunch and dinner.
8. Curb emotional eating.
9. Reduce sugar intake. {I REALLY like candy and chocolate.}
10. Commit my health and body to the Lord and take care of myself! {Reading Reshaping It All, and then maybe Made to Crave}
Our challenge starts today and ends mid-May! I’m ready – let’s get it started!

Are you doing anything to get healthier? Share your goals here!
Best wishes to you! Sounds like something I should be doing.
good goals. it will be so hard to give up sweets for me
I think I will just print off your goals for myself….pretty much everything I need to be doing too!
Not me man. I’m in it for the cash and a smaller butt. Which just pretty much proves – yet again – that you’re the better person. 🙂
Oh gosh, most of your list IS my list! I’m about to start the Atkins diet. It’ll be my first diet, but I NEED something to give me some discipline and a set plan to follow lol
