Testing

We're right at three weeks from the challenge, and I've been doing some testing on the diet and planning on the exercise.  Was very surprised to find that black beans and tuna make a very delicious--and filling--meal.

On the exercise front, I've gotten advice from my two fitness experts (my football-playing high school senior cousins) who have given me lots to think about.  I'll be hitting the gym pretty soon to test my weight limits with different muscle groups.  Just like with the food, I want to have a plan going in each day so I don't waste any time trying to figure out which machine to hit, where I'm doing my cardio, etc.  Get in, get the exercise on, and get going--that's the goal.

Looked back over my old Spanish textbook from college, and I'll probably be using it in combination with some CD books from the library.  My wife is going to make a great practice partner, because she's interested in learning too.

Each morning I'll be online blogging, so I've looked for something that will aid my quiet time as well.  I'll be reading through the 28 chapters of Acts, and I'm going to be looking through The Voice of the Martyrs' website at www.persecution.com to see what's happening around the world and to pray for those affected by persecution.

Looking over it all, the plan is starting to come together, and I can't wait to get started.  Who will I be in 28 days?  So excited to find out.
