Fit Challenge

My wonderful, loving, older sister convinced me to join a Fitness Challenge group. Its 45 days and here are the requirements:
 
1) Commitment to working out 5-6 times a week, either with a program of your choice (preferred - there is no wondering what to do with one of those!) or your own gym program. If you choose the gym program, I will ask you to state clearly what you are doing for the entire 45 days.
 
2) Commitment to better nutrition. Ideally this is partly in the form of Shakeology, a super high-quality protein shake - if you are drinking these daily, then I know you are getting one really amazing-for-you meal that you don't have to think about. But there will be other goals too!
 
3) Commitment to cheering on your fellow participants. We usually meet on Facebook, but if you are not on Facebook we can do it via email. Facebook is fun because of the sheer variety of motivation! The group on Facebook is SECRET, which means only the people in the group know it even exists.

Prizes:
Getting in better shape. Everyone wins this one!
Person who has the most points will win a $10 gift card to Amazon, Target, or a $10 check for a Beachbody product!
Anyone who brings in another person to the challenge will win 2 $5 gift cards to the coffee shop of their choice, assuming I can get those cards online!
 
I am committing to 3 days/week of the Couch-to-5K program, either outside with the stroller or at the gym. (Just 2 more weeks til I can take Canon with me!) The other 2-3 days will be Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred DVD. With the weather and the one car situation, I might be heavy on Jillian until the weather warms up and I can consistently jog outside, but I'm fine with that. Her DVDs are hard. 
My commitment to nutrition will be eating strictly Paleo during  the weekdays and giving myself a little leeway on the weekends, but not blowing it. 
 
I've set myself up an excel sheet to record all that I eat along with my workout for that day. I'm really hoping with the Facebook motivation and not wanting to let my group down that I'll make it through the entire 45 days. 

It'd be nice to give regular updates on the blog, but we all know I often promise consistent postings and then tend to drop the ball, so we'll see. But encouragement is always welcome!!

If anyone is interested in joining in, let me know!

going public

Well...there is not really any other way to say this but... Aaron and I are having a BABY! Yep, Baby Schultz should be arriving this Labor Day. We could not be more thrilled about the news! Once we got through the 12-week ultrasound, which is what this picture is from, we were ready to spread the news! I know there are still lots of people who should have gotten phone calls, and for that I apologize that you are finding out now, but I was just ready to get it out there! And now I will answer the questions that typically follow up this kind of announcement. 1. Were you trying? Well....not exactly. From the beginning I have felt pretty strongly that we were not in control of this whole baby-making situation. I have known many women who got pregnant on birth control, or when they didn't even know they could, and those who "planned" it and then it has taken longer than hoped. I've just always been pretty sure that when the Lord determined we were ready, He'd ...

Arise Campus Ministry 9.23.14

Over the past few years, I've had the opportunity to be part of some awesome ministries. From time to time, I've been given the chance to speak and I wanted a place to keep those files. Here is where I'll post my talks, Bible Studies, etc that I'm either doing or creating.  Arise Campus Ministry at George Mason University 9.23.2014 This week I want to tell y’all a little about my story, because the word “belonging” is extremely significant in it. I came to Christ at the end of middle school – which for me were terrible years. Think about all the stereotypes of mean girls and being made fun of and left out, and that is my story. It all really fell apart for me at the beginning of my 9 th  grade year when every girl I had left middle school fighting to maintain a friendship with completely ignored me. I had a peripheral friendship with a girl who was a church goer and accepted her invitation to become part of their youth group. I had been on and off, but nev...

February Goals

Happy February! I'm joining Elizabeth and Sarah to talk about B+ Goals for the month! I am loving the idea of setting up some attainable goals for each month, but also giving myself grace for meeting or not meeting them. This year I am focusing on my Physical and Spiritual Health. First, a quick review of January's Goals. January Physical Health Goals : * hit my 10,000 steps 4 days of the week (I work a desk job, so this means I'll have to do some extra walking either before or after work) * track my food  January Spiritual Health Goals :  * read Simply Tuesday by Emily P Freeman * start my day with Jesus Calling and First 5 App   As my husband would say, I won more days than I lost in January! My fitbit broke 3 weeks into January, so the last week and some I wasn't able to track, but I did get to the gym to run a few times without it. I also tracked more food than I didn't and the days we were at work I did really well staying w...
