Hoping to make this later in the week, I have a bag of lentils and all the spices already. I'd only have to buy a few items.

Starting late but love the idea!

Joining in! I started 2023 debt free with the exception of utilities/insurances. Plans changed and I was able to purchase the boat of my dreams without selling my current boat. I had to take a mortgage which was at the high rate of 7.25% Since then I have sold the old boat and put a large chunk of it towards my current boat mortgage. My goal this year is to pay $48k off on the mortgage. It will be tight and likely depend on any unforseen expenses. Other goals to help with the primary goal are: Eat my whole freezer and pantry. Seriously I may have 2 months of good healthy foods minus fruits/veggies. Reduce subscriptions that I don't need. Don't buy lunch at work. 100% cut of diet soda. We have free coffee at work and if I need the caffeine boost just drink that.

So I hurt my back in October and have not been doing much. I have mostly recovered but will need surgery at some point in my life unless I am very lucky. Two lower discs were bulging but since then I have had a great recovery. I did eat my feelings a bit and drank too much to cope with the pain and sadness, I missed a whole season of adult league hockey and couldn't go fishing in my boat. Since then I have been walking and riding my bike a bit. For this challenge I want to incorporate a 5 day split with dumbells and barbells, very light to start. So goals moving forward daily: 10k steps per day 5 day split Monday - Friday plus 10 minutes on the bike to start(see how this goes) Saturday and Sunday do cardio(hike or a longer bike ride) Eat whole foods, no processed junk, no ice cream, if I go out to eat make a good choice. Sober curious(maybe drink once a week) I started this morning just under 185lbs.

It has been a very long time but I am ready to commit here. Recently I hurt my back and after Xrays, MRI and CT scans it looks like I will not need surgery now. I will sometime in my life more than likely. Getting older sucks and I need to get on a better road to health. Setting up some base habits will be the key to this success. Dailies I must do Eat whole foods(homemade bread and rice/whole grains are ok), drink water/tea/coffee. No diet, no sugar. Lots of veggies and fruits. Walk every morning for at least 30 minutes. Do my PT exercises every day. Read Things I would very much like to do Duolingo Audible Post food pictures here I also have a bunch of stuff to get done around the house/garden/boat/garage I will likely share as well.

7/25 Not my best day. Failed the drinks one night a week thing since I went to happy hour then Saturday I am drinking some beer at a metal show. I can produce better results next week for sure. Also no dumbbells yet but soon. My mourning routine Read 10 pages of a book Duolingo lesson Walk for 45 minutes and listen to audible Post on my NF thread Eating healthy Whole foods, primarily Mediterranean If it is already in my pantry/freezer it is ok, there is nothing horrible and there is not much Alcohol one night a week and 3 drink max Exercising daily Dumbell workouts 5 nights a week Hockey one night Golf one night my walk Vieatnamese for dinner, next time all salad instead of noodles

Currently reading a Jimmy Buffet book called "A Salty Piece of Land". Its just a fun adventure style book. Listening to Wool. Spanish, and actually just booked a trip to Mexico in February. So for the beans. I sauteed a whole chopped sweet onion and some chopped up carrots in a generous amount of EVOO After the onions started turning clear I added some chopped garlic cloves, maybe 6 After a few minutes tossed a spoon of better than boullion veggie flavor Poured in 4 cans of cannelinni beans, two had the juice not drained from them, two were drained/rinsed added a decent amount of chopped dill and chopped parsley simmer for about 45 minutes then it is done! I often take for granted living next to the ocean and seeing the turtles is a reminder that I am very lucky.

7/27 Not my best day. Skipped the morning routine since I played hockey late. Didn't lift because I was a little sore in my back still but this is excusable. I meet a friend for lunch at a cuban spot and made it my breakfast/lunch. Dinner was I cooked for some family visiting from out of town.

7/26 Good day yesterday. Didn't do audible while walking because fiance came with me. We saw two big sea turtles returning to the ocean after nesting. Ended up playing two games of hockey since the team after me needed subs. I know this means no morning routine the next morning because I will be out until past midnight but hockey is only once a week and figured this was a fair trade.

7/25 Didn't start my morning routine yet nor did I workout since I kind of just thought up my challenge in the afternoon. However I have been eating healthy so here are two dinners from recently and a meal prep batch of Greek beans. lamb chops, mushrooms, peppers, grilled apples, and whole grain rice mix Bourbon salmon, asparagus and whole grain rice mixture Greek beans

Long time no posting. I have been busy and am starting to once again prioritize my health and wellness. So for this challenge I want to focus on 3 things. Establishing a morning routine Eating healthy Exercising daily My mourning routine daily should hopefully consist of Read 10 pages of a book Duolingo lesson Walk for 45 minutes and listen to audible Post on my NF thread Eating healthy Whole foods, primarily Mediterranean If it is already in my pantry/freezer it is ok, there is nothing horrible and there is not much Alcohol one night a week and 3 drink max Exercising daily Dumbell workouts 5 nights a week Hockey one night Golf one night Now I have a pretty sore back so I am unsure when the dumbells will start. Tomorrow is hockey so perhaps Thursday. Other than that I am eating healthy today and starting my morning routine tomorrow. Expect lots of dinner pictures.

2/7 homemade pita, baba ganouche, dolmas, sheep mozzarella and some crackers for my dad oxtail stew and ikarian black eyed peas with carrots roasted peppers in olive oil with grated garlic These were all made Sunday night by myself for a family get together, I can post recipes if anyone is interested. Daily: My morning routine A workout later in the day(lifting or cardio) Lifted Eating right No alcohol

Love me some rucking, I dunno how much I will be doing on this challenge but some at least.

Hey frens!

Time outside is my favorite time.
