Vitamins - keeping up the winning streak! BW workouts - started doing a (very little) bit most mornings, and I'm sore, so that's the official good sign... Intuitive eating - definitely increasing awareness. Not always having the fortitude to not eat if I'm not hungry (for example, lunch break is VERY important to be at work, even if I'm not hungry). But building awareness. So - moving right along....

That is all we can ask of any challenge, or indeed life .:)

1) Went to bed at 1:45 AM rather than my usual 2 AM (baby steps!) 2) I set my alarm for 6:59 instead of 7:00 (this is a mental toughness exercise!) 3) I managed to do 5 minutes of BW work in between pajamas and getting ready for work - squats and lunges and kick-boxing moves. This > nothing. SO WE'RE TRYING!

UGH - here is my problem: Workouts, other work-on-me projects (like these goals) always get pushed, pushed, pushed to the end of the day. And when The Day takes longer than I think it should or that I can control - BOOM, workout has to go, etc. Like it's now half past midnight, and I just wrapped up the project I thought I'd have done by 10. I MUST go to sleep, I was so tired from not sleeping enough last night I was late to work today. Just just just - BLAH! Okay, /rant, I know what I need to do, and it's Become A Morning Person. Such a struggle.

Thank you all! Week 1 Thursday Night Update: Fitness goal progress: 17 minutes of BW work for the week so far Diet goal progress: Eating intuitively/ intentionally one meal a day , so far (although "meal" might mean "snack" but it's a start!) Lifestyle goal progress: Daily vitamins are a go! Avoiding YouTube/Buzzfeed after midnight is a go! Woo hoo!! Of course, still staying up till 2 AM, gotta work on that....

Just wanted to raise my glass to your Labyrinthian title and gif. Well played, friend. Well played.

Hello all! First challenge ever, woohoo! Rebel for over one year, but sadly, the forces of Injury and Sloth held me captive (they are old allies). I overcame Injury just to find myself knee-deep in Sloth, with my hair pulled by Resignation and my getaway car crushed by a 40th birthday cake. ENOUGH! Just today I decided to try out the Forums, and saw the 4 week challenge begins today - eep! So, hastily assembled post and goals: I am 40, and I thought the problems of my 20's and 30's would have worked themselves out by now. Spoiler: they didn't. Ergo, I have to work them out now or I keep them forever. ...Kinda like this extra chin. BEGONE! Challenges: lots of work hours, lots of volunteer hours, couple of pre-teens (that I need to be a good example for!), husband with his own challenges, no money to spend on gyms or classes or trainers. Lifelong procrastinator too. Have a lot of trouble balancing my motivation with the instant gratification of wasting time. In terms of diet, I eat pretty well already - little sugar, little white flour, fast food isn't a thing, etc. And last month I tried tracking macros - and I was miserable. I don't think it was building a healthy relationship with food, and so I'm going to try to just tune in more to my body's cues ala Intuitive Eating. Fitness challenge goal: 30 total minutes of bodyweight work per week (come on, self! That shouldn't be hard! Sheesh!) Diet challenge goals: One meal a day, use principles of intuitive eating to focus on why I'm eating, eating only to satiety, eating with deliberation Life challenge goals: No recreational YouTube or clickbait sites after midnight (YouTube for work = okay) Take your vitamins every day! HERE WE GO!
