INTRO I'm Sarah, aka twisted octopus. Twisted because I've got a dark sense of humor, octopus because I love the water and it's the animal that a quiz once corresponded with my Meyer's briggs type: INTJ. Apparently a rare personality type, especially for women. Without getting into the details 2015 was rough, really rough and I'm ready to punch it in the face and move on. It certainly wreaked havoc on my mental and physical health. I live in Detroit where a work from home as a software engineer. I am not from Detroit. My tiny 4 pound hamster sized dog and I came here forcibly, trailing my adorable partner who got an OBGYN residency here. Winter is here, which comes with the added challenge of being stuck inside alone more than I am normally. Yay dreary loneliness! Sure I could snuggle up inside and feel sorry for myself - pining for the ability to hibernate through this winter - and ideally this hibernation would last through the remaining 2.5 years of my partner's residency in Michigan. But, I think for the sake of my sanity I'll try something different. This month I'll keep things relatively simple. And if all goes well I'll try to bump things up next month. GOALS 1. Record the food I eat every day - I'll use myfitnesspal to track so feel free to keep me accountable there if you're so inclined. (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/divertida9) 2. Attend group personal training 2x per week 3. Yoga and meditation every day - even if it's just a 5 minute sun salutation followed by 5 min of meditation 4. Reading in bed by 11 - Poor sleep has been a big problem for me. Ideally I'd be in bed by 10 but aiming for 11 would be a huge improvement. Grading I'll give myself 1 point per day for goals 1, 3 and 4. Two points per week for attending group personal training. Total points earned over total possible to get a percentage and a final letter grade. Cheers to a fabulous 2016 and first challenge!

Hi there! How is everything going? I love your idea to floss. So simple but something I always forget to do!

Great to have you both! To become a ranger you just decide to be one! You can go to the ranger board in the challenge and post your goals there. I think you can add the progress bar easily using one of the helper icons above the text box when you make a post. it is to the right of the icon that looks like a chat bubble. I'll try to check in regularly on you both for your progress. Where are you guys from?

Thanks everyone for the support! Awesome to see more lady INTJ's!
