Kk, here we go, yo. Going to be out of town the first week of the challenge so my workout and maybe my diet goal will be a little modified. Also - because I want to keep this fun without slipping into being overwhelmed (not a long trip these days) I won't be following anybody or pressuring myself to update frequently. Intake: 2 WIS 3 CON I will not eat past the feeling of satisfaction this challenge. Trying to exercise listening to my body here. Okay, this is just turning into a lazy, ambiguous, nothing's-happening-here goal. Gotta change it up. I've fallen out of a breakfast habit so I should probably start there again. So, revised Intake goal, part A: Every morning I'm up early, I'll eat a protein (eggs or almond butter) and fruit. If I need a grain to feel full, I'll eat oatmeal. Revised Intake goal, part B: I pledge to eat thankfully and as mindfully as I can. Specifically this means no iPod or books or magazines or newspapers while I'm eating. Output: 2 STR 3 STA Beginning week 2 of the challenge, I'll do a Beginner Bodyweight Workout as often as I can - given my still-healing back - up to as many as 3 x a week. Every time I do a Beginner Bodyweight Workout, I will do more than I did the last time. Clarification: I'll begin at 3 circuits. The next time I'll do 3 circuits plus a 4th set of jumping jacks, the 2nd time I'll do 3 circuits plus jumping jacks and squats, et cetera and see how many circuits I can do without stopping. Alternately, I will add reps or sets of exercises per circuit. Output: 2 STA I'll walk 30 minutes outside on my off days, up to 4 times/week. This means getting a walk in every morning of Challenge Week 1. Wholeness: 3 WIS I'll sit quietly every day (preferably morning), practicing mindfulness, adding a minute each session. Starting time will be 3 minutes.
