"Makeover May"
I've decided to do a makeover on myself for the entire month of May. Not only is this a physical challenge i'm giving myself to see how "fit" i can get in a month, but it's also a mind/spirit challenge. I want to become more spiritual as well and work on my internal self.
For the physical portion of my personal challenge I am dieting hard, (well, as much as I can... I cheat sometimes.. hopefully I'll get stronger though and not cheat at all) i'm working out regularly (using both my Snap gym pass and attending 3 classes/week at Crossfit.) So far I've only been to one crossfit class and HOLY COW. I thought I was decently strong in my arms from lifting weights... boy was i wrong! :) We'll see how strong i can get this month! I'm going to be stretching a lot as well to gain flexibility. My overall goal is to feel better about my body and change the way I view myself. I think we are always hardest on ourselves, so I'm trying to change that and be more accepting of the body I was blessed to have.
For my mind/spiritual makeover i've made goals to not only read/pray,be a full tithe payer, attend ALL church meetings etc, I'm going to try and better myself permanently by doing service and thinking more of others. I'm going to try and change my thought process on certain things I struggle with, increase my patience, and not stress so much. Yoga/meditation here I come! ***(I've never done yoga so if anyone has or has ideas on HOW to do it... let me know!)***
I'm not entirely sure how this will pan out, because I'm mostly making it up as i go, but I've written some goals and things to help me get started. Strange way to change, but I'm needing more out of life and I think this will be a good way to start.
If anyone wants to join me in a personal challenge feel free to comment and/or offer me some encouragement and I'll do the same. :)
