A Brand-New-Me 30 Day Challenge

[Allegra360]

Hello Ladies and Dearest Friends!

 I am starting my very own personal get: healthy, fit, financially stable; focused on God's will, etc. make-over.  In the last few months I have been under a lot of stress and have sought solace in a bag of chips, box of cookies, even eating fast food on a daily basis.  The worst part of this is that I have been hiding most of my bad habits from my DH who works so much that he doesn't even know how much fast food I eat or that I eat dinner twice every night.  Things have to change, so I decided that the change should start with me.  I am going to keep track of:

• Every penny that I spend to help determine my budget
• Every bit of food that I eat (and why I am eating it-such as boredom, hunger, etc.)
• How often I work out
• How often I clean certain rooms
• How I discipline my children and why

 I am going to carry a notebook around with me and will record everything in it.  I know this is a big undertaking which is why I am calling this a "challenge".  I will be challenged to record everything and see how I am really living my life.  I know my life is out of control sometimes and I need to see where my struggles are since I can not see the forest for the trees. 

 After this 30 Day Challenge is done, then I am going to evaluate everything and then prioritize what I need to work on first.  I will then spend the next 30 days on my Brand-New-Me 30 Makeover 

Do you have an area or areas that need to change?

 Want to join me?  If so, mark your calendars for June 1^st!  I know that isn't a lot of time to "plan", but honestly if I had a plan I wouldn't need to do this challenge!  LOL!!

I'm praying for you through this - it's a major undertaking, but I know God will bless you through your efforts, and your family will be blessed as well!
