Okay, I might still have a tiny spark of sass and style, but it needs to be fanned into flames for sure. I've got gains, but they aren't the good kind. I'm at 141.6 lbs. and heading the wrong way, so this challenge (my first one) is right on time. I need it. Really, really need it. I have been in a winter slump and it's time to move past it. I wish my brain could conjure a lovely tale complete with a point system and rewards, but that is a bit of a reach at the moment. Perhaps I will work on it during this challenge once my brain is functioning better. Anyway, on to my goals for these five weeks:
Fitness:
NF app's Bodyweight Level 1
Attempt a pullup every time I look at the anime dudes hanging from the bar in my kitchen doorway.
Whatever pops in my head to move a little more that day (walk, dance, etc.).
Drop under 135 lbs.
Nutrition (I know what works for me and I have to just do it):
Lots of good proteins, carbs and fats. Limit tea (seeing if it affects my migraines), caffeine, sugar, grains, and whatever else that keeps me sick and unhealthy.
Drink at least five cups of water a day with plans to increase as I adjust.
Plan some meals.
Mindset:
Use music to motivate myself.
Spend a little time each week on learning to play either my guitar or the piano.
Memorize something (some French, a new word, lyrics, etc.).
Try to overcome my shy nature and meet people on here and become part of the community (totally outside of my comfort zone).
Follow a better sleep routine and work my way off of Benadryl as a sleep aid.
Get creative: art, photography, whatever creative thing pops in my head.
Writing:
Complete Camp NaNoWriMo (my first time participating in the camps).
Set up Scrivener.
Work on my novel or something novel related a little each day.
Continue journaling and writing on 4TheWords (online fantasy writing game and tool).
Okay, I think that is my plan. Detoxing from sugar, grains and caffeine will be rough for the first week or so, but I have done it before, and I can do it again. I just might be prone to growling, snarling and biting for a bit, but it's all good.
