I wasn't sure if a new challenge made sense because I'll be on travel for two of the four weeks. But the challenges help and if all I do here is vent when I need to, its still valuable! But I'd rather celebrate the good things so here is my goals! ROCKY MOUNTAINS The first two weeks of this challenge will be spent in Denver and the last two at home. Both places are in the Rocky Mountains and are places that I love. I miss playing outside in my mountains. This needs to change and it will. It means getting outside. It means taking walks and hiking when I can. BONUS if I get in a ruck! DOUBLE BONUS if I signup for the April 22nd 5k and actually try to train for it. (Image is a trail near the Flatirons out side of Boulder, CO and its a trail I'd like to hike) HYGGE Hygge is such a lovely concept that I want to incorporate more of into my life and home. So what am I going to do here… Well not much the first two weeks. But I do have some reading on decluttering, organization and hygge that I want to do while we are out of town. Once I get back I am going to build a bed frame for Baby Black Widow and implement some of the hygge ideas I have. Side note: I did a google search of images with the term hygge and wow! Out popped my design aesthetic, rustic modern. It only makes me love hygge even more!!! PROGRESS Progress, progress, progress!!! So many things I can do here to stop the back slide of my health, weight and strength loss. I will show progress with a measuring tape and my jeans! But progress will be made by my choices in the kitchen (or restaurant). I will make good choices and eat smaller portion sizes. (Titanium Mickey and I have already talked about our food ideas while on travel in Denver) I will do yoga and/or mobility work. I will pick up my KBs or other weights. I will get back into the habit of BJJ class.

Heck yeah, MORE, gimme MORE MUAHAHAHAHA Will update with more concrete info here soonest. So life has me by the belt, and is flinging me about. I have no theme, per sé, but I was thinking about taking a photo of my stash yarn. Still not sure if maybe I'll do that. I have a few WIPs that need finishing, a tiny pi-shawlette that needs a border, a gift (old shale triangle shawl) for a friend that needs some love (stitches and beads), a second sock for my left foot, because unequal foot wear is not fun, first ever woolen sock pair I am knitting for myself (the one pair of cotton sneaker socks, 5-10 years ago don't count as knitting socks for myself). If I can knit size 49 (German sizes are weird, I'm on the phone and too lazy to translate that) for hubby, I can knit some socks for myself. I deserve amazing footwear. A few acrylic crochet toy things I am not looking at right now. I stress knit. But I also am finding the joy in fibres, textures, patterns, colours again. So it's not just my son's physical/mental health problems anymore. Not enough? More. I teach Luebecker Modell Bewegungswelten classes twice a week in an elderly home a half-hour walk from home. Good program, amazing people, good money. I am only training once a week myself right now. But that's way enough. Or it has to be for now. (Tuesday night 630-9pm) I should be focussing on all the things. But I am mostly sitting down at some point in the earliesk afternoon, for some knitting and some thinking. I rarely pull out my bujo, but I shall endeavor to do so more often, for it helps keep track of Schiff, if I don't have to carry it in my head, but have it written down instead. I weigh myself daily, for a nice pretty moving average, but I don't look at it too much. Sadly it's currently going in the wrong direction overall. But I have to breathe and go on. Giving up is not an option. I need to take the time and figure out a few breakfast and supper options that I can eat, do eat, and will eat so I don't have to log every ingredient separately every time. I need to make logging so easy I can't not. That's my plan for some of this month. I have someone coming to my class at the end of the month to give me coaching, which is exciting and scary. But I'll prevail. I have all the things on my plate. It'll be fine. Linkage and pics later today when there's natural light and such. Possibly. Did I mention that it's hubby's bday Wednesday and he's turning 40 and I love him and I actually finally have a gift for him? I am giving him a card, telling him of the weekend with no kids, got the car and day of hiking we'll both enjoy like crazy, may even book a room in advance and stay out and make it a weekend-thing instead of a Saturday thing. Never done that kinda stuff before. I pretty certain he'll love it. Nature, walking, no appointments, no obligations, just an easy 10k walk or something of the sort. Gift on Wednesday, actual walk on the 31.March/1.April-weekend. I'll keep you informed. So that's my challenge posted up. About time, isn't it?

Sorry - This PVP is for Doodlie Accountibility Group only A three week break is upon us and Doodlies never forsake Doodlies. Let us come together and support each other through this time by Facing Off and destroying one another. *cough* *cough*. I mean, let us support each other in a friendly competition... The Face Off will work like this - 1. Sign up here 2. Each Sunday I will randomly pair up those participating for the week. I will also randomly draw one of our previous Doodlie challenges. 3. Each player will design 2 personal goals of their own to be measured in percentage. 4. Keep track of your scores on the sign up sheet. 5. The winner for each Face off is determined by combining the three scores for an overall percentage. We'll keep track of wins and losses. 6. Each Sunday I will redraw for a new Face-Off. You will battle a different person each week.
