40 days of Feel Good (: EDIT: (read on)

I got a facebook invite today that really seems like a fantastic idea. Here it is if you haven't seen it yet.

What it says is that for 40 days, starting August 1, we are going to:
-exercise at least four times a week
-not eat junk food for 6 days a week (you decide on what you consider junk food)
-no pop
-one hour of service per week
-write at least one sentence in your journal every day 
-read in your scriptures every single day
-pray daily
-no gossiping 
-only 30 minutes of Facebook a day 
-Turn off all electronics before you go to bed to increase your amount of sleep
AND you aren't allowed to say or think anything negative about yourself. If you start thinking negatively, try to think the opposite. 

Imagine what you could achieve if you only tried! :)

It really is such a great idea. I'm going to personalize it a bit and add going to bed between 12 and 1, making the time earlier and earlier as I get close to classes starting (when I have to wake up at freaking 7am every Monday and Wednesday.... shoot me now :P lol), and read an Ensign article every night before bed. I will get no more than 8 hours of sleep a night by setting an alarm and actually getting up when it goes off, and practice violin and piano for a total of at least an hour every day. I will also attend the temple once a week, and whenever I watch TV I will index at the same time, so I'm not just wasting my life away in front of the television :P

I figure blogging about it will help me stay on task, if I know you guys are checking up on me. Feel free to text me throughout the month and see how I'm doing! Positive encouragement is always good. (:

Starts Wednesday, but first step for today: get off the computer and stop being a lazy bum!

EDIT: I can't do the junk food one. I live off of ice cream. (While I'm living at home and have an unlimited supply anyway! Maybe I'll start it when I get to school (: ) Also, I'm not worried about my weight anyway, so I don't see the point of this one :P It's not that I'm giving up or anything, but I only have a few weeks left at home when I can eat such things at my own pleasure. So I'm adapting the original challenge to my own needs!
