Week 2 down! I managed 4 days of exercising again even with a lot of stress and bad weather!. I also took my lunch to work again, this week was chicken brocolli and rice with a salad. my first social event was cancelled this weekend due to weather but I have another one this Thursday!

Thank you! I particularly love classical music history, it's a genre of music most consider mundane and boring now but all the controversies and scandals composers had to deal with during their time , I just find it all interesting but I also enjoy reading about any history in general. Steven Ambrose is my favorite historian, I think I've read all of his books! I also enjoy any Ken Burns documentaries on PBS!

Week 1 is finished! I managed to workout 4 times this week and had a bonus frantic snow-shoveling session! I also brought my lunch to work everyday, I made turkey meatloaf with a baked sweet potato and a side of peas.There was a snowstorm in the middle of my 3 day work week so I did end up going to the cafeteria to buy a slice of chocolate pie after my car was stuck in the driveway and I ended up using Uber to get to work!. No social events yet, I am on meetup and everything seems to be scheduled on the days I work at this point but I found a few events coming up in a couple of weeks that I have signed up for.

Looks like you are off to a good start! Meetup is great for branching out! I already joined and plan on going to a couple of gatherings later this month.

Hi! Good luck with your goals! I have the same one of taking my work to lunch. I work at a hospital and 9 times out 10, order a cheeseburger, tater tots, and a dessert when I get my lunch from the cafeteria, so it's best for me to stay away!

Yes! I have flaked on many events because I was tired and wanted to sleep-in, unfortunately, not too many people want to hang out at 1 am on a Wednesday! Thank you! Thank you! I am doing strength training program with dumb bells at home for now. I used to do crossfit but stopped last year because they changed their schedule so it really wasn't compatible with mine anymore.

Hi , I am Dot! I have been a member of nerd fitness for years but this my first time posting in the forums. I love scifi, books, history and music. I work the night shift in a hospital. My long-term goals are to become more consistent with exercise and healthy eating, I also want to become more social, I've become a hermit and want to spend less time cooped up in my house. So for this challenge, my goals are: 1. Workout 2 times a week. 2. Bring my own lunch to work instead of eating from the cafeteria. 3. Go to 3 social events a month.
