Beyond what was planned.

21 DAY CHALLENGE COMPLETE!
Yesterday...haha!  I seriously thought I was still being held to this today!
But when I looked back at my calendar I noticed I said it would go from 8/25-9/14.
Oh well, I did an extra day beyond what was planned.

How did I do though based on my 1st-21st days?

1.) No diet soda.- 19 days out of 21 days = 90.5%
2.) Exercise for 30 minutes everyday.- 19 days out of 21 days = 90.5%
3.) Read Bible everyday. 100%
4.) Blog/Journal everyday.- 100%
5.) Read 3 books.- Well I'm 1/2 through my 3rd book so 2.5 books out of 3 = 83.3%
 
OVERALL GRADE = 92.86%
An A- for all my hardwork.  I'm so proud of myself.

Now that I've officially continued onto day 22 I might want to set up a few new guidelines for what I expect of myself.  The previous ones weren't too demanding, but with work and extracurricular activities it can be a tight fit somedays.  So as for my new guidelines hmmm....

1.) I'm going to stick with the NO DIET SODA, it wasn't that difficult and I have probably been more hydrated in the last 3 weeks because of it.

2.) Exercising 30 minutes 4x a week.  7 days a week was rough.  I'm not saying that I won't do 5 or 6 days, but Fridays are next to impossible to fit in a workout.  Mostly because after work on Fridays I meet up with Eric and ROTC peeps and we hang out until I'm ready to pass out from exhaustion.  Also I have a few things coming up that might make a workout impossible.  September 27th I'm taking a intro to sewing class from 6:30 pm-10pm and every Monday night in November from 6-8 I'll be taking a digital photography class.  Plus I read somewhere that it's good to have rest days.

3.) Read Bible everyday.  I'm going to keep up with this one.  As a Christian I need to be well versed and I need to learn God's word.

4.) Blog/Journal everyday.  I think I'll be able to do this 90% of the time.  However, I do anticipate some weekends when Bud & I will be out of town that will hinder me from accessing a computer.  So I'll just have to make my posts bigger and better when I get home!

5.) Read 3 books.  I almost succeeded on this one, however, according to that 8 books in 8 weeks goal I set for myself.  I'm already 1 week and 1 book behind.  So I'm just going to change this to say that I should def. try to read for fun everyday!

I LOVE all the time I get to spend with my husband!  He is my BEST friend!  My helpmate!

On, another note, Bud & I have a Groupon for Froyoyo that is going to expire in a month.  I bought it a while back.  Basically, I spent $10 to get a coupon worth $20 of frozen yogurt.  So after dinner we rushed over and loaded up!  I had the peanut butter yogurt with crushed Oreos, brownie bits, & Butterfinger pieces (I think I negated all the benefits of frozen yogurt)!  It's only 8pm & I just threw in a load of laundry and I'm gonna cuddle up next to my hubby and watch the season finale of Prison Break via Netflix!  I hope everyone has a blessed evening!
