This week went well! I did the BBW twice this week and I haven't been as stiff as the first time since then. I think I'll progressively step it up over the next few weeks. Meditation is going okay, though the program I originally started with began to feel more like mini-lecture than a meditation so I decided to bounce around. (I'm using the free access in the Simple Habit app, so there's options.) Not going to make three meals this week, I don't think, but I should make two. Being out one of my usual cooking nights threw off my schedule. I did bring my lunch four times, though. I created my budget in YNAB and got it all caught up. I've managed to stay within the limits this week, so I'm off to a decent start there.

That's a fantastic start! Looks like your meditation is going well, too!

Oh, good suggestion. I'm hoping I won't have to drop down (no schedule conflict this week), but I'll keep that in mind. Thank you It's going okay so far, though I have a hard time focusing even for five minutes

Thank you! First attempt floored me for a bit, so maybe it was more reasonable than I thought Anyway, I need to not be sore tomorrow, so I decided against a second round. I'm going to try it again on Sunday, though, and might pull off a second one next week. Other than that, I'll be cooking my third dinner this week tonight and just finished the fourth lunch I brought instead of bought. I've managed the five minutes of meditation and decided to Beemind that one, since it's something I tend to let slide if I don't have some reinforcement. I haven't finished my budget for June yet, but it's on my list for this weekend. Pretty decent start so far!

Thank you very much!

Hi everyone, my name is BD and I'm participating in the challenge for the first time. I've had an account here for a while, but never popped it near the start of the challenge and then I'd forget to come back. This time I got in right under the wire! Over the last year, I stopped paying attention to heath and exercise while working on other things. Now that those are self-sustaining habits, I'm ready to work on this again and this seems like a good way to put that at the forefront. Long-Term Goals Increase muscle tone. Lose ~25 lbs and maintain it before my next birthday. Develop a meditation habit. Build up my savings, for peace of mind. Quests for this challenge: Do the Nerd Fitness Beginner Body Weight Routine at least once per week. Cook at least three of my dinners per week and bring my lunch at work at least four times per week. Meditate five minutes every morning. Create a budget before the month starts and stick to it to within 10% at the end. Feels like it might be a little light, so my stretch goal will be to get the BW Routine in more than once in a week.
