Let's get started!


The sky's the limit! Lets start a couple of challenges or goals. For scripture reading let's start at the beginning of the Book of Mormon. Read for yourself, find a buddy or if you have a spouse or kids, read with them...the prophets teach us family scripture reading can really bring people together. Let's try to all post at least once a week on our thoughts from our scripture study. Set your own goal for scripture study that will work for you; be conservative at first so you can reach the goal easily, then as we get in the habit let's set some higher goals on time or amount read each week. Share your progress.

I could lose a few pounds, but more than that I want to get back to the gymn regularly. I know it will help me sleep better, and it is good personal thinking time, not to mention releasing endorphins that will help lose weight and sharpen the mind. My goal is to go two times a week for a least 30 min each time. I weigh 149lbs. today, i want to lose 5 lbs in the next month, which is reasonable and healthy.
I am going to monitor gymn days and time, weight, and measurements of waist and hips.

I have a few other odds and end stuff that I NEVER get too. I want to start a percentage contest on things checked off to do on a daily list. This will help me be better organized and help me with task completion so hopefully I don't have 20 things going at once that never get completed. I am going to be realistic and careful with what I list to do every day. I am going to put at least two things on my list that I know for sure will get done. So my goal is to get at least 75% completion of tasks every day. Like 3 out 4 things done, 6 out of 8, 9 out of 12 etc...

If anybody has ideas of how to refine these or wants to add to please feel free...perhaps we can create tables or charts to our blog updates to show progress.

Love to all....here we go!!!

The to do list thing sounds cool. I have really gotten out of that mode personally cause it reminds me too much of work. That is all I do at work it feels like, make lists. As far as working out goes, I have a free membership and never use it, so I'm going to get my free out of it.

that to do list is what gets me...i always list things like do laundry and clean kitchen, which involves multiple things, and takes the whole day to do just one...but i'll be willing to tackle it!

Fabulous!!! I am really excited about this. My hope is that as we meet our goals and have accomplishments even small ones we will fill more in control and relaxed and enjoy our families more with our boost of "feel good". I will probably post weekly sat or sun. Good luck lil sis'!
