Tis the first challenge of the year and thanks to the December Mini, I'm raring to go! 😁 1. Get to bed earlier I am really really horrid at this right now, so this is going to be my hard goal for the challenge. I think this might have more of an impact than anything else, but it will be interesting to see. I will also be trying out a few things to see if it helps me get to sleep and stay asleep, so it will be a little more complex than just 'change the time on the alarms'. Week 1 - Bed 9, Lights Out 11, Awake 745 Week 2 - Bed 9, Lights Out 1045, Awake 730 Week 3 - Bed 9, Lights Out 1030, Awake 715 Week 4 - Bed 9, Lights Out 1015, Awake 700 Week 5 - Bed 9, Lights Out 10, Awake 645 2. Take more daily steps I am at 2k average right now, but I'm not trying at all and on dog walk days it gets up to 6k... so I'm hoping this one will be a medium-easy win. I have a treadmill for rainy days, but I'm hoping to get most of the steps via cleaning/decluttering the house and dog walking (when it's not raining). Week 1 - 3k steps average Week 2 - 3.5k steps average Week 3 - 4k steps average Week 4 - 4.5k steps average Week 5 - 5k steps average 3. Work on shoulder flexibility and being able to keep arm raised (without weights) This one is my 'not sure about' goal. It's not something I can really fix in a single challenge, so this time around I am just going to look up a bunch of various streaches and bodyweight excercises. I'll get a baseline for where I'm at and what I can do... and then update the goals as needed. I meant to get it done before the challenge kicked off, but, err... life happened. 😅 Week 1 - Experiment with a bunch of things Week 2 - ??? Week 3 - ??? Week 4 - ??? Week 5 - ??? ----------------------------------------- Other things I will also be doing and probably commenting on: Artwork, Writing, Cleaning, Decluttering, Cooking, etc. ----------------------------------------- I used the following BuJo/Planner printables (may be tweaked as the challenge goes along): 2022 Overview - https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1zlf3E_RJRhHap1errir22Zp5RjHutsA8a3rnMVeriAo/edit?usp=sharing Goal Brainstorming - https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1bKbZ9C2_u3-8uofp5BNnm3i8W7i9qs-ga016a2KOLFk/edit?usp=sharing 5-week planning page - https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1JRvBceRfOeKqEFE8shiEVGG5x1Nj1b7hqsRh4uZAD4A/edit?usp=sharing 1-week tracking page - https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/18hTMHjX3ufmUCMxDh6z1sEnPefCpMKsImpASB6BqK4w/edit?usp=sharing

Well, okay, maybe not DOOOOOOOOOM! ...but doooooom? 😂 I have a horrible habit of losing track of time and/or focus so this little mini-challenge will be all about finishing setting up a system that will help me keep my eye on the ball-- err, challenges! Here are my tiny goals for the tiny challenge! 🏆 Goal 1 - SET GOALS I will pick the year long goal for 2022 for my Nerd Fitness challenges and then break it down by 5-week segments (based roughly on what time the challenges happened in 2021). I will pick measureable doable things, but I will allow myself leeway in how fast the overall goal is accomplished. If I bite off more than I can chew, I will have backup dinner plans in place! Goal 2 - Create BuJo pages What's on paper gets remembered! So I will use Google Drawings to continue to create (and tweak) my yearly/monthly/weekly/daily/project bullet journal pages. I will share them here and as I go through the challenges so other folks can use them if they're helpful. Sidequests Continue decluttering the house Continue doing ALL the stairs! Work on finding a way to doggie walk around the new available daylight Cleanup the treadmill, update the treadmill computer, and test out some things other than WoW that I can play while I walk Christmass prezzies creation time! Think about other goals for 2022 that aren't fitness related

Hi there! So I know I can't be the only one here who loves to be creative and stay organized! Does anybody else here use a bullet journal? Anybody keen on giving it ago? And do you track your fitness there, if so? I do and I'm trying to fit my four week challenge somewhere into the mix whilst also keeping updates on it every day; I suppose we'll see how it goes! Also, feel free to share photos or any articles if you feel so obliged! ~Stella
