One Hundred Bucks!!
I am challenging you to exercise more than me in the next 4 weeks!
What do you win? $100.
That's right, I will pay whoever exercises the most in the next 4 weeks, $100 from my piano lessons money. Are you game?
Here are the rules:
1. Each exercise has to be for at least 30 minutes; longer workouts do not get extra credit.
2. Each workout for at least 30 minutes gets you a point.
3. You must track and report to me each week. I would like to know what exercises you are doing for some ideas as well.
4. At the end of the 4 weeks, the one who has the most points, wins $100.
What's in it for me? I don't want to loose any money, that's for sure. So, my motivation is to not let you beat me. I will post your reports and progress here on the site as well and taunt, trash talk, and tempt you to try to win. Not going to happen, but you can certainly try. Sounds like fun, huh? Send me a reply if you want in. You know you do.

I'm Going to Get Through This!
Frustrations, Limitations, and Inspiration
So, it has been 6 weeks since I started my new "diet" and I have gained 6 pounds. In fact, I don't think I ever lost anything, not even a smidge of a pound. Why? A couple of reasons: 1) I hurt my toe (ingrown toenail and infection) and it was next to impossible to put on tennis shoes, let alone exercise, 2) 'm on horrible medication that is making me retain water, and 3) even when I tried to find peace by getting a massage, I ended up with an allergic reaction to the oils and am now sporting a rash and blisters up and down my entire back. Can you say frustrated?
I also haven't had an internet connection for the last three weeks due to a verizon strike, so I haven't been able to write, do any research on what do about my current problems, or to just reach out for some love to you. I hope you haven't missed my entries; probably not. So two weeks ago, I headed to the temple with a low heart, seeking for some inspiration as what I can do to help me loose weight and control things again. I absolutely hate how I look, the amount of medication I have to take every day, and know that I am not what I need to be to raise 3 healthy boys. I pleaded with the Lord to help me find a diet that would work for me and a plan to help me be better. And do you know what He told me? This is not a direct quote, but the Lord reminded me that He had already given me a health plan, one that would help me if I followed it faithfully. Do you know what?! It's found in D&C 89.
After reading through the 'Word of Wisdom', I have already begun to make several changes to my overall plan of attack. I may not be able to do much about my disease or the medication, but I certainly can control what I eat and how active I am. I am putting into place a system where the opportunities to be active are available and I have plenty of choices on how I am going to follow this plan. If you want more specifics, let me know. I am now a week into this, and although there has been no physical results, I do love being able to exercise again and am making it top priority. All-in-all, I am trying to be as natural as I can be in my food choices, cutting way back on my meat intake, spending quality time in motion. I would love to have any ideas on how you do these things.
Once again I am reminded that real change does not happen quickly, and I need to have a long term view of the changes I want to make. I need to envision myself changing and loving whats happening. I hope you can do the same. Good luck with your healthy goals and your fitness successes!
Much Love!
