I read this thing on Twitter about FUN goals: Flexible, Uplifting, Numberless. I loved it so much. SMART goals are really good, and I still have smart goals, but right now, I need to focus on the journey, and I think FUN goals are more process focused and less results focused. For this challenge the plan is to: 1. Exercise every day. Doesn't matter what it is, just need to do something every day and then throw myself a parade. Which marching in a parade also counts as exercise 2. Read some books. This is the perfect time of year to read a good book and escape winter. I'll happily tell you what I'm reading! 3. Love my mouth. When winter blues hit, I immediately start slacking off on things like brushing my hair or flossing my teeth. This winter, I'm going to take ridiculous care of my teeth. I am armed with a sonic toothbrush, floss, mouth wash, a waterpik, and a whitening kit. It's a lot, but I've already started this month, and it's really contributing a lot to improving my mood.

Sheik here for my second challenge! I'm super proud of how I did for the first challenge--I lost ten pounds (and a pants size) and lowered the amount of assistance I needed for a chin up from 40 pounds to 16 pounds! I think I may actually be able to do a pull up by the end of the year (my overall goal), transforming myself into a badass! Here are my goals: Goal 1: MOAR STRENGTH TRAINING, working towards a pull up by including inverted rows and negative pull-ups at least three times a week. A = 18 sessions B = 12 sessions C = 9 sessions F = Anything less Goal 2: To lose some fat (and hopefully weight, to make the pull up easier haha), I'll track what I eat, aiming for an average of less than 1600 calories a day, with a focus on protein and veggies. (Totals will be averaged per week.) A = Made it all 6 weeks B = Made it 5 weeks C = Made it 4 weeks F = Made it less than 3 weeks Goal 3: Get outside at least once a week (for my health!) A = outside exercise 6 times B = outside exercise 5 times C = outside exercise 4 times F = outside exercise 3 times Side Quest: Floss every day. I used to be good at this, but have limited it to my 1-2 problem areas daily, and the rest when I think about it.
