90 Day Man Challenge - Kenton's Goals and Guidelines

Dan Miller in his book 48 days to the work you love outlines 7 areas that we need to work on to have a balanced life. I am structuring my goals around these 7 areas. Financial, Physical, Personal Development, Family, Spiritual, Social and Career.

Financial:
Budget (FPU) – Mandy and I will be committing to create and follow a budget for the next 90 days.
Medical Bills – Pay off all medical bills.

Physical:
Exercise – I will be walking/jogging/running everyday for 30 minutes.
Vitamins – Mandy and I will be taking a regimen of vitamins and supplements to help support our physical health. This includes Chromium, Niacin, Fish Oil and Vitamin D.
Diet – There are two main goals I have here one is food consumption the other is fluid intake.
Food Guidelines:
1)Five meals a day all will contain a protein and either a fruit or veggie.
2)Three meals will include a grain not exceed two servings of processed whole grains (bread, tortillas, pasta)
3)At least half of the fruit, veggies and nuts are to be eaten raw.
Fluid intake:
1)Large glass of water with each meal.
2)No soda pop or energy drinks.
3)Limit coffee intake to less than 20 oz in a day.

Personal Development:
Self-Improvement – Audio Book - I will be listening to as many as I can of the following list of audio books while I am doing my daily exercise. Bringing Up Girls, Wild at Heart, Captivating, Outlive Your Life, Fearless, Come Thirsty, Love and War and The Purpose Driven Life.
Self-Improvement – Blogging – I am Committing to making at least two blog entries a week on either my blog (http://betweenpadawanandmaster.blogspot.com/ ) or our family blog (http://www.themattosfamily.blogspot.com/ ).
Education – AAS - I have two goals under the education category. The first is to complete the 4 credits I am short for my associates degree. I have already enrolled and the class start on Sept. 26.
Education – Microsoft Cert. - I also have enrolled in a Microsoft e-learning program and want to have my Microsoft certification for Microsoft Office 2007 by the end of the challenge.

Family:
Date Nights – Our goal is to find one or two other couples who we can child swap with, so we can do at least two date nights a month.
Daddy Daughter Time – Setting aside time once or twice a month where I and Jillian can just be together without Mandy or Joshua.

Spiritual:
Read God's Word Daily – I will be using the Life Journal reading outline.
Journal Daily – I will be writing something everyday, It doesn't have to be about my reading.
OSL – Mandy and I are registered for the OSL class coming up in October.
Meditation – Twice a week I will find a place where there is more of God's creation than Man's creation so I can reflect, pray and listen.
Regal Host Team – Mandy and I will be working with Regal leadership to create a new host team.

Social:
Sunday Brunches – Mandy and I will commit to scheduling one brunch each month for the next 90 days. We will be inviting two couples to each brunch with an emphasis on introducing our family to families who we are not familiar with.
Regal Host Team – See Spiritual Goal.

Career:
