This time I'll be mixing up my challenge format and doing a points challenge! I feel this will be more beneficial to me these days than my usual "do these 4-5 things" challenges. I eventually want my challenges to be a little more freeform and game like now that fitness is pretty much a major part of my life. Some things will earn me points, others will lose them (duh). The goal this month is 100 points. I have no idea if this is a good total, so it may change after week 1 when I have a better understanding. + Points Do a strength training workout. +1 point. Do a cardio/conditioning workout. +1 point. Brush the dog's teeth. +1 point. Complete an adulting task. +1 point. Bonus Adulting Tasks. - These will be worth 1 point for adulting in addition to their individual point values. Transfer money into my (currently unused) high interest savings account. +1 point. Set up a direct debit or payment line to that account from my main account. +2 points. Find (and move to) a new mobile data plan. +2 points. Fill in the small hole in bedroom wall. +2 points. Adjust my Nest Pension payment plan. +1 point. +2 points if doing so involves making a phone call. Fit new rear windscreen wiper blade on my car, +1 point. Eat a healthy meal. +1 point. Be out of bed before 7:30 AM. +2 points. This will be tough, if it happens once I'll be happy. Job search, at least 20 minutes. +2 points. Finish reading a book. +2 points. Complete one of my major fitness goals. +5 points. - Points Going a day without doing any mobility. -1 point. Staying in bed past 9AM. -1 point. Go a whole week without brushing the dog's teeth. -3 points. Major Fitness Goals. Be able to do 2 consecutive ring dips. Be able to do 3 consecutive ring dips. 4x5 chinups. Unassisted shrimp squat. Sub 10 minute mile. Be able to do a cartwheel. Pointless Star Wars gif just for fun. Motivation or something..

Week 4 - Sunday Rings workout 3 times a week: 4/3 Bonus workout! Daily 5 minute flow: 6/7 Other physical activity, 3 times a week: 2/3 Positivity: Easter. Chocolate. Good. I feel I did well this challenge, but I may mix up the format next time just to keep things interesting. Maybe I'll rip off @Suzaqu and do a points challenge?

Keep being awesome! I'll see you next challenge

Oops, fell a bit behind on the updates there. Week 4 - Thursday-Saturday Rings workout 3 times a week: 3/3 Actually planning to do another tomorrow as next week will be busy with work from Wednesday onwards. Daily 5 minute flow: 5/7 Other physical activity, 3 times a week: 2/3 Realised that walking around a castle for 7 hours totally counts as physical activity, duh. Also did foam rolling and attempted a follow along yoga video today. May or may not get anything in tomorrow.. Positivity: So, Star Wars Celebration is happening in Orlando right now. I wish I could be there, the London one last year was amazing. Anyway, all these are Star Wars related because I'm a big nerd. Thurs - Beautiful tribute video to Carrie Fisher was shared, kinda sad but also really uplifting in a strange way. Fri - Episode 8 teaser!! *nerdgasm*. Sat - Watching the Star Wars Rebels season 4(final season) trailer. Excited for the conclusion of the story, not sure I'm ready for the inevitable feels..

That makes perfect sense to me!

True. Chris Hemsworth's dyed blonde eyebrows in that movie are also funny in their own way Week 4 - Wednesday Rings workout 3 times a week: 2/3 Daily 5 minute flow: 2/7 Didn't do it today. I still got in mobility work, so I lose points but my body still wins Other physical activity, 3 times a week: 0/3 Need to get going here Positivity: My knee feels great! I've been doing extra stability work for my knees as well and I doubt I'll ever stop now that I've seen the results start to take effect.

Week 3 - Saturday Rings workout 3 times a week: 3/3 Daily 5 minute flow: 6/7 Other physical activity, 3 times a week: 3/3 Positivity: The weather was so nice! After I finished my workout I ended taking my shoes and socks off and spending another 15 minutes or so practicing cartwheels and parkour rolls, then took a leisurely stroll home enjoying the woods in the sun. Week 3 - Sunday Rings workout 3 times a week: 3/3 Daily 5 minute flow: 7/7 Other physical activity, 3 times a week: 3/3 Positivity: Another nice day for weather, unfortunately I was stuck at work. But when I got home we had ice cream, so that makes it all better

Week 3 - Thursday Rings workout 3 times a week: 2/3 Daily 5 minute flow: 4/7 Other physical activity, 3 times a week: 3/3 Looong walk. Not necessarily on purpose Positivity: Story time - So, yesterday was my granddad's birthday. My GF and I walked down to my workout spot and planned to walk to his house after. It's about a 45 minute walk through the woods/fields. However. It's been about 10 years since I last walked that way and I may have taken us on a wrong turn and ended up at a quarry almost 2 hours later. Long story short; we never got to Grandad's, my parents picked us upon their way home, our feet hurt, and we had chinese for dinner. Still had a good time though Week 3 - Friday Rings workout 3 times a week: 2/3 Daily 5 minute flow: 5/7 Other physical activity, 3 times a week: 3/3 Positivity: My dog had to go to the vets and get a broken tooth removed today, which obviously requires anesthesia. He's spent most of the evening tripping balls and not understanding how his feet work, it's been hilarious

That really sucks. Sending internet love to your GF and her family.
