LadyShello Does NOT Eat Her Feelings. This isn't actually the theme of my challenge. However, currently my life looks like this and I expect this to be an even more difficult month. Every notification I get from my thread will be a reminder that I do not eat my feelings. So every time you like something or comment on my thread you are helping me reinforce that I do not eat my feelings. If It Ain't Broke, Do More of It. Last challenge was pretty successful. I'm just going to keep doing what I was doing but work on some new habits and get more workouts in. Goal 1: Get MoAR Workouts In Last challenge was good but I dropped the strength goal and usually only worked out 3 times a week. It's time to get back to 5 workouts a week. I'm taking a break from a formal lifting program but I'd still like to incorporate more strength workouts. I'm also practising being kind to myself so I'm allowing some freedom with this goal. Work out 5 times a week, 3 of which must be cardio. The other 2 can be anything else. Part II - get 8,000 steps daily. I tried for 10,000 last challenge and just couldn't make it happen. So I'm setting the goal more reasonably. Goal 2: Don't Eat Your Feelings Do I need to say this again? Probably. I am a person who does not eat my feelings. My food goal remains unchanged. Following clean-ish eating, log food for any day not entirely clean (which turns out to be most days). If I log food, stay under 1600 calorie goal. 1 variance allowed per week - for this challenge that's 5. Goal 3: Get Enough Sleep I did pretty well with my goal last challenge but I was just barely getting the bare minimum amount of sleep. In the spirit of doing more, I'll bump the goal to 7.5 hours of sleep. Goal 4: Wild Card This is a hodge podge of other habits I'd like to work on. These are mostly weekly goals or just ongoing goals. Financial Rangering: Stick to the budget. This is pretty self explanatory. Domestic Rangering: I've tried following FlyLady a couple years ago to keep the house tidy but it didn't work for me. With everything else going on I can't do as much daily as she prescribes and her system doesn't take into account chores for kids and they should be helping with chores. I'm going to work on personalizing her system into something that works for my family. Some kind of Rangering: I had a goal to do three tasks daily from my bullet journal last challenge. I did work on doing 3 tasks daily but I never actually used my bujo. Same goal this time only using my buj0. Relationship Rangering: I'm going to focus on my relationship with myself this time around and practice kindness. I want to spend more time reading and doing self care. This challenge begins imediately! Onward Nerds!
