Lundie started a 30 day Thin Within challenge along with a couple other friends. The challenge runs October 17th - November 16th. We will be reading a chapter from the Thin Within book daily over the next 30 days. I plan to post my hunger #'s and observations/corrections here along with any other thoughts along the way.I know Lil is planning jumping on board. Anyone else???
I just decided to join this challenge today so am behind in the readings. However I'll catch up in the next two days, doubling up on the # of chapters I read. In the meantime, here are a few observations from the past two days.

Exercise: x
I am craving regular exercise. I know I just need to get my butt in gear and MOVE!!! I find that during outdoor walks or jogs I have some of my best moments with God in prayer and meditation! That's worth more then the body getting back in shape!

I feel far from conscious eating principles right now. I think it is time to freshen up my memory on those and put them in the forefront as I eat.

Top Ten Goals for the next 27 days:
#1.) Spend time in daily TW reading and devotions each day.
#2.) Spend at least 10 minutes in focussed prayer each day.
#3.) Eat 0-5 consistently.
#4.) Practice eating the "first meal of the rest of your life" on a regular basis by using the keys to conscious eating.
#5.) 20 minute cardio exercise 3-4x each week.
#6.) Get into bed, lights out by 10:30 pm each weeknight.
#7.) Spend time with each family member doing something meaningful--both my girls and my husband.
#8.) Each day do a 5 minute clutter tackle.
#9.) Each day count a blessing.
#10.) Spend 15 minutes each day encouraging a friend--either by email, phone call or a card or note.
I'm excited that you're joining us! Having study partners is just the boost I've been needing! ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteCan I jump in on the challenge? I could use the added encouragement. Thanks for the advice on keeping my TW blog. I'm deleting that post and will start posting and overlapping if needed. I haven't posted on my Paulaswalk account for awhile anyway.
ReplyDeletePaula, it would be awesome to have you join us! I'm really looking forward to you continuing your TW specific blog. I have found blogging this journey has been incredibly encouraging, challenging, and rewarding. It's great looking back over previous posts and seeing where I've come from, things that I forget that I actually had "learned" at one time:-) etc.
ReplyDeleteIt would be great to have you join the 30 day challenge. If you can't catch up with the readings that's okay...just start on day 1 today:-) I have read the first half of the book so many times that reading the first four chapters today was a pretty "easy" read for me! (I've now read the first half of the book eight times in the past 8 months!)
