These could be anything, but here are a few examples: exercise 4 times per week, eat sweets only twice a week, memorize a scripture every week, share your beliefs with someone else each week, take a child out on a one-on-one date each week, etc.

These could be anything, but here are a few examples: visit all the sisters on my VT route, attend the temple, connect with a certain family member, read a book, etc.

Each week we will each post our points for the previous week and state if there have been any changes to our goals.

To join us let me (Jessica F) know you are interested and I will allow you to post on the site. We will begin this challenge on Monday, January 30th. (no monthly point for January, though)

Before we start everyone will need to post her intended goals and maybe an introduction about yourself.

My name is Cassie, and I'm ready to whip my butt into shape.

Thanks to Jessica, for taking the initiative to get this blog going.

My name is Cassie Smith. I am married to Joshua Smith. My sons are James (4) and Morgan (19 months). Our family has lived all over in the few years that we've been together. We currently call Eugene, Oregon our home.

I'm excited to be a part of this fitness challenge. I found that I had a desire to exercise and be physically fit, yet lacked the motivation. I came to realize that I really just needed a buddy (or two or three...) to help encourage me; someone I could report to.

In anticipation for this fitness challenge, I set some goals about two weeks ago. I based my goals off of Luke 2:52, which says, "And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man." This scripture talks about four areas of growth for the Savior: intellectual, physical, spiritual, and social. My daily goals are as follows:
Intellectual: 30 minutes of reading/music practice
Physical: 30 minutes of exercise
Spiritual: 30 minutes of spiritual nourishment, some of which must be reading the scriptures
Social: 30 minutes of face-to-face/phone/Skype conversation, and less than 10 minutes on Facebook.

Good luck to everyone.
