I skipped out on the last challenge after loosing steam midway through the one before that. It's time to stop hiding. (HalfOgres make better seekers than hiders) Challenge 1: Eat better. I shall accomplish this by tracking my food. All my food every day. Good days and bad days... hopefully more good than bad. Wis Con Challenge 2 & 3: Nurture everything around me. My garden is in full swing and I am killing many fewer things this year than last. We are eating tons of kale and garlic fresh from the garden and had our first cucumber straight off the vine this weekend. Also, my kids need me so I am cheating and doing 2 challenges with one goal. I will do this by checking my garden and seedlings and whatever every day. I will also take time every day to do something with the kids. Its too easy to feel too tired and overwhelmed to take the time to do something fun with the kids... soon they won't want to any more. Wis Cha Challenge 4: Get fitter. I will do this by running twice a week and doing "something else" 3 times a week. The something else can be heavy work in the garden, playing soccer, or lifting at the gym. Even during weeks where I am overcommitted (hello soccer tournament for one kid Wed - Sun, I'm talking to you) I can do this if I make time for it. And I can fudge it by combining this with the Nurture... turning compost piles and shoveling out new garden beds for three hours counts as a huge workout (I know from doing it this weekend). Str Dex Bonus: Keep up with NerdFitness. Check every other day at the worst and make comments in other's threads at least once a week, on top of keeping up with my own thread. Cha So, please keep me honest. Don't let me hide away from you guys again. What am I good at? Making SMART goals (though havng one of them be "don't kill too much stuff" might not be the best, but cut me some slack) What do I need help with? Staying engaged with the community. When I do that, I have tons of success (hence the coming out of hiding)
