- lose
weight

eating habits

your health – Consult your doctor and find out
if it’s
safe for you to participate.
We are strongly suggesting that you
use a "Daniel-Fast diet" approach to the 90-Day Health
Challenge. You are free to modify it to your comfort level; however, this
is a challenge - so there should be an element of sacrifice during these 90- days.

An alternative to the Daniel Fast
approach is to use the Oxygen Magazine Approach. Check out website links below.
Oxygen Magazine 2-week meal plan that
can be used and repeated during 90 days:
C) Exercise
Where ever you are in your physical conditioning, let's start
there and then work your way up.
The challenge is to be consistent in your workouts. Do
something for at least 5 days of the week.
This is KEY: DO SOMETHING!!!! Walk, run, swim, paddle- board,
weight training, roller blade, etc. JUST DO SOMETHING to increase your heart
rate and to break a sweat.
If you're just starting off, do a 20-30 minute walk
everyday and increase slowly. You want it to be something you can
continue to do. It’s always more fun to find others to do it with, so get
yourself a partner. In fact, I encourage you to invite people to join you on
your workouts.
Remember, start off slow and increase
every week or as you feel better and stronger. Find yourself an
accountability partner that will inspire you to be consistent in your
workouts.
II. SOUL
Objective: Prosperous
Soul, Healthy Mind = Healthy Life(3 John 1-2 / 1 Tim 4:7-8 / Prov
4:22/ Rom 12:2)
The goal is to stimulate your mind by reading one book a month,
but if that’s not possible, you are required to read at least one of
them.
Read:
1) Soul Detox, by
Craig Groeschel (mind/spirit)
2) Eat to Live, by
Dr. Joel Fuhrman (body - this is a health book)
3) Renewing The
Mind, by Casey Treat (mind/spirit)
At the completion of every book, please write a summary about
what you learn from the book and how you will apply it to your life. Email
your summary to us at dcchawaii808@gmail.com
III. SPIRIT
Objective: Grow stronger in God by Reading a Chapter a Day
from
the Gospels & Journaling your thoughts. (Prov 17:22
/ 1 Peter 2:2 / Matt 4:4)
A) BIBLE READING
Read a chapter from the bible a day. The
reading plan will cover Matt / Mark / Luke / John / Prov 1 (90 chapters);
Beginning with Matthew 1 on January 6th and concluding with Proverbs 1 on April
5.
“S. O. A. R.”
SCRIPTURE “ What verse in your
reading “jumps out at you” or speaks to you?
OBSERVATION: What is the Lord saying
to you through this scripture?
APPLICATION: How am I going to apply
this instruction to my life today?
REFLECTION: Pray and ask the Holy
Spirit to help you apply this revelation to your life today
B. PRAYER
We would like to challenge you to pray for 10 minutes a day.
It's easy to pray consistently for our own family and needs, but we would like
to challenge you to specifically pray for someone different. They could be a
relative, co-worker, business partner or friend. It's good to develop the
habit of praying for others so we don't become self centered and self consumed
in our walk with the Lord.
If you have any questions, don't
hesitate to email us at
