5 Week Challenge

READY?! Okay, so my roommate and I have decided to challenge ourselves over the next couple of weeks. We feel that change is needed in our lives, that habits need to be formed, and that with lots of strength from God we can do it! We decided to focus on mainly two aspects of our lives- spiritual and physical. There are a couple other things thrown in there as well. The things we decided to change/work on, are really quite normal, and are habits that should already be formed in our lives, but aren't. We aren't proposing anything outlandish such as sticking to the Atkins Diet, running 5 miles every day, or reading the whole Bible in a month. No. But we are proposing change in our lives, and as most of you probably know can be pretty difficult in general. But, we are confident that all things are possible through Christ!

So, here are the areas of our lives that we are going to be more intentional with:

Spiritual

Quiet Time: 30 min/day every day

Prayer

·      Pray together to start day (Mon, Wed, Fri when we get up together)

·      Pray impossible list every day

·      Pray for peers

Memorization: 1 verse/week

Giving: 10% or more, bless others

Physical

Exercise

·      Ab routine 5x/week

·      Cardio 2x/week

·      Stretch 2x/week

Diet

·      Drink water (water bottle or with meal)

·      NO dessert

·      Pasta no more than 3x/week

Dental

·      Floss 5x/week

·      Rinse once/day

Bed time: 11:00pm

Other

Facebook

·      30 min/day or less

Guitar

·      Practice 3x/week

And we have decided to do this until Thanksgiving break, so November 23... FIVE weeks from today! However, we do reserve the right to alter this plan, if need be, after one week's time.
