The Daniel Plan

Most of the information I will be sharing on my blog will be from "The Daniel Plan".  Whether you are following The Daniel Plan or not it has TONS of wonderful resources.  The plan offers a book, study guide, DVD,  journal,workout DVD, jump-start guide, and an incredible website.  Honestly, of all methods, diets or bible studies I have tried for a healthy lifestyle change this has by far been the most balanced with the best resources/tools.


Currently I am on week 4 of the bible study.  Reading chapter 5 & 9 is the homework assignment this week.  Is is about FITNESS. Partnering food and fitness has always been a BIG challenge for me.  I know that without fitness I will not succeed, but I give in to excuses, pain, timing, and just quit. Having a weekly fitness video challenge in the bible study has been SO helpful.   Simple stretches, moving hourly,  these baby steps I can do.

In chapter 5 they talked about a "one word" focus challenge.  My one word for now is "COMMITMENT".  I have committed to healthy eating choices for the last three weeks.  Now time to commit to exercise.  My local Physical Therapist center offer former patient a program called the "Wellness Plan".  An opportunity to provide a supervised workout plan while using all their equipment. I am committing now to 3 days a week of exercise.

Now I have a plan & a goal.  My goal is to be under 200 lbs on January 1, 2016.  I have not seen that since 1985 after our son was born.  So, I have a goal, a plan and now a place to document the journey.  Looking forward to sharing the journey together.  I would love to hear feedback as I go along.  Better yet....join me.
