My main goal is weight loss, for health reasons as well as I want to look good (to me) naked. I'm in a struggle with this goal because it doesn't get easier when you get older. I don’t want this to be a focus for the rest of my life, I want to build some habits/routines so it becomes second nature and I don’t have to think about it. I also want to be around to watch my grandkids grow up and be able to do things with them, as well as things I enjoy as I get older, and I enjoy a lot of things! I work from home as an accountant. I have a full time job and a few side gigs, making sure I have enough movement in my day is important because it's very easy to lose track of time and I feel better when I move more! The Struggle is real! I'm going to take the time to do what I need to do, also making sure I get enough off-time, put in the work and effort that hopefully will lead to lower numbers on the scale as well as other health markers that are important.

I want to get my bicycle fixed (tires are flat, not a tough fix) and take advantage of the bike trails around this area when the heat isn’t so bad. I want to take advantage of the fact I have a pool in my backyard. I want to take advantage of a lake less than half a mile from my house and the paddleboard in my garage. My personal life may be falling apart, I am doing my best to keep me from doing the same…therapy is a big part of this, journaling is another part. I'm going to continue doing this, as well as working on getting back to me and what I need in my life.

Hi everyone (again), I'm Daxonichely, and this is my second 'first challenge'... I'm sorry last time I didn't make it, but past is gone, so this time will be my last 'first'; I don't swear, I just will. So, I'm 26 now, I moved back to my parents town for a new job. The problem is that I lost all the excercise habits I ever had... Weight: 90kg (about 200lbs) Height: 180cm (almost 6ft tall) Main quest: This time is all about re-building healthy habits. I must score an average over 95% per week of each of my 3 missions (3 healthy habits) Missions: Mission 1: Fuel. This mission is all about eating better. Let's start by cutting sweet bread out of mornings and nights. This means switching breakfast and dinner from "milk and a piece of sugary bread" to something more interesting. I like to cook, so It's time to get on it. Evaluation: On a spreadsheet I will mark each meal, whether I did it or not, I should note it. If I cooked, I should write down what I cooked. Bonus experience points if I try something new!Mission 2: Gear. This mission is all about building the gears. I like runing, and even if I don't love it, I must do strength training... but this is habit building, so I'll focus on discipline.Last time I tried the If you want to know how it works, click [http://danielsalcedo.com.mx/images/arts/blog/Notonalli/6weekch/reloaded/ohmightyspreadsheet.png'>here]
