Week 2... meh x means not successful bad headache the past two days!

Update on goals last week. To explain... I had a toothache all last week, was finally able to get to the dentist on Thursday. Now to me a toothache can be compared to giving birth to a 20lb baby with no medication (all you mothers will be able to understand the analogy). I didn't work out, I didn't eat much at all and I didn't sleep. Now. I am finally pain free and hoping this week goes a lot better.

Reading through your log. You are an inspiration to me, your discipline is amazing!!!

Monday's are kind of Blah for me too.

This is my second challenge and although last challenge wasn't a complete flop, it wasn't the best either. Since then and now I have had a vacation (and well we all know how that goes). But I am back at it and hopefully with no foreseeable vacations or holidays, I am hoping to get some good momemtum. Goals for this challenge: Goal #1 SLEEP I am going to get 8 hours or more of sleep each night. Goal # 2 Eat Veggies EVERYDAY Goal # 3 Strength Train 3x a week I am only going to give myself 3 to work on this challenge, but in addition I am hoping to read a book for work and complete some CEU's for my licensure.

@chibi-nerd I will check the book out. Thanks

I love these goals!! Good luck!

Great goals...Good luck!!!

How are you doing?

Of course I am late posting my weekly updates... I started on a Wednesday so I counted that as the first day. Week 1 (for me) July 1st thru the 8th Diet; I made it 5 out of 7 days for drive thru (I was doing about 7 days a week) 4 out of 7 for the two veggies a day (this is kind of embarrasing) Fitness: 4 out of 7 days (improvement) Mindset: 1 out of 7 days (again embarrasing) So even though I didn't do as good as I would have liked to, there was some improvements. Yay Me!

@First Mate Davy I am trying to get my mindset into lifestyle changes instead of dieting or something quick. Breakfast is something I struggle with, I am eating boiled eggs and sometimes a half peice of proten bagel with some whipped cream cheese. I have also done overnight oats also. What are some of your go to's for breakfast?

@Xena I am not new to Yoga, but it is not something I have done regularly in the past. I have taken classes. I am a mental health therapist so I have even taken a yoga for trauma training. I love yoga and eventually would like to become a teacher and start integrating into my therapy sessions. What about you?

@//Min I am doing the academy workouts. I am on level 2 every other day doing yoga. I am working out in the morning. I am attempting a veggie with every meal

Thank You

Hey everyone! I am new, I have been signed up for almost a week now. This whole format was made for me, I love challenges (quest) and I love to check things off. I hope that starting late is ok. My Big Picture goal is to lose 30lbs and create new and healthy habits Diet: No fast food drive thru's for breakfast and eat 2 servings of veggies a day Fitness: 30 minutes of activity a day Mindset: get out of the bed 30 minutes earler (which means no playing on the phone for 30 minutes) I am really looking forward to connecting to other people during these challenges. I am in need of accountablity.
