Challenge Progress

Well yes it has already been six weeks since the start of the "six week challenge"........I can say that it has been very successful.........no I have not lost my goal weight......but I am in MUCH better shape and feel so much better physically.......and I know if I keep it up, I will reach my goal weight! .........and my quiet time has been great!.........this has been key to starting the day and getting everything else to flow better........and I wrote a song that was a result of my Bible study and quiet time!......the laundry and the guest rooms are much more organized now......I even managed to organize a few other parts of the house as well.......I still have plenty of organizing to do in various places, but I think this will also be something that needs to be an ongoing practice and needs to be kept up little by little and then it doesn't seem soooooo overwhelming! ....Getting more rest and getting to bed earlier was the one that I didn't like as much as the others.....but it is an important part of being my best at everything else....so I am really going to try to keep this goal a focus as well..........I think the big point is consistency and long term change.......a steady and balanced approach ..it isn't going to do me any good just to do something for six weeks and not continue......I need to make it a lifestyle......not a work so hard until I can't take it anymore crash and burnout.........I know what is too easy for me and I know what is too hard.....and some days it is different than others...... the daily accountability was great, a fresh start every day is great..... and it also gives me a log to look at and see patterns of behavior that I can learn from and understand myself better in the future....... I am going to continue this "Challenge" for another 6 weeks..... I will be gone on vacation some of the time so I will be unable to report sometimes...but I will still be trying to stay consistent and in the habit of being as balanced as I can...............anyone else in???? You don't have to start today and you don't have to end at any point........set your own rules.......just be true to yourself....... jump in the water is refreshing!
