Swear Jar

We've all heard of the swear jar.  I've decided to set one up with a difference and not only does it benefit me - but if I don't stick to the rules the funds go to Girls' Brigade Christchurch so its a win-win!

The rules:
1. Excercise 1hr per day, 6 days per week - consequence $10 into the jar per day
2. No junk food, chocolate, take-aways, hot-chocolate's etc - consequence $5 into the jar per item
3. Drink 2 litres of water per day - consequence $2 into the jar per day

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it.  Every athlete exercises self-control in all things.  So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air.  But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.
1 Corinthians 9:24-27

I would encourage all of you that read this blog that if there's something you could do to be a better you maybe you could set up a challenge for yourself and create your own version of a swear jar - I'd love to hear if you do
