Korranation's back onboard I had to take a break from the challenges for a bit. Here's a little backstory to it So here's the goals/objectives part. Part One - Food Pictures - take pictures of all food (excluding repeating meal prepped items). Totally stealing this from Deffy Tracking - Put all items in MFP the night before Snacking - all processed food snacking is banned. I found snacking on baby carrots gets me through the workday and working on a pomegranate gets me through the evening. Part 2 - Health Workout - I'll either do +30 min on the rowing machine or the modified NFA workout Sleep - Go to bed minus looking at the phone before 10:30 Water - drink +8 cups of water. Or drink 2 cups of water 30 minutes before every meal. Part 3 - leveling up Language - practice Spanish on duolingo every day. Gotta keep that streak bonus going. Learning - spend +30min every day prepping to apply for grad school. That means either writing a personal letter, reaching out to old professors for letters of recommendation, and studying for the GRE... or doing classes at khan academy or reading peer-reviewed papers. Loving - Do some self-care every day/evening. (e.g. some work de-stressors, other non-work ideas, avoiding the non-profit compassion fatigue pitfall, yoga... LET DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi guys, As I wrote in my introduction post on this forum I'm in the process of building myself a home gym. I have a busy schedule because of my job and I think that a home gym would help me fit in my workouts in the daily routine. It's mostly about losing weight at first. I was in an accident five years ago and since that I've let go of myself. Back then I was in good shape - I especially loved using the rowing machine in the gym. This was a Concept2 machine and I remember it as being a great machine. However, I haven't tried any other rowing machines and I wondered if you have any suggestions? A quick Google search shows that most people recommend the Concept2 - Just wanted to get your opinion before settling on it. I found this article by a former professional rower who also says go for the Concept2 but also talks about other machines. Do you know them? Any opinions are welcome
