Hello, I am Spockgrrl and this is my second attempt at my first challenge. I took a break from my fitness journey and really discovered how much I need to commit to this. Main Quest: To reach my "goal weight" of 155 pounds by this time next year. (I currently weigh 195 pounds, so that's 40 pounds to lose) To have a healthy relationship with food. Quest 1: Exercise at least 5 days a week, and do an active recovery day (yoga, a light walk, etc) at least one day a week. Quest 2: Meditate at least 5 days a week, and keep a journal. Quest 3: Record all of my food and exercise. This includes checking in with my accountability partners and Nerd Fitness community members on a daily basis. Last time around, once I stopped doing this, I did an acrobatic fucking pirouette off the wagon. Life Quest: Meet some new people, and generally be more social. Motivation: I've wasted too much of my youth twisting in the wind. It's time to find some peace and be happy.

I am wondering if anyone has used or use binaural beats to assist with meditation? What was your experience? If you have a favorite, what is it? I use Binaural Beats for the Shamanic Journey during migraine attacks but am always looking towards others to try out.

Butterfly, assassin in training, is crawling up to this new challenge. After a full week in bed fighting the plague she is emerging to join the challenge. Main Quest: Become stronger, leaner, more agile and mentally balanced. READY for anything! Specific Goals: 1. Workouts 6 days a week- Body weight circuits 2. Yoga and meditation 6 days a week- 10 minutes each day 3. Follow the nutrition plan which means continuing the No Alcohol rule from last challenge! Life Side Quest: Implement business organization plan that assigns tasks for me from each of the different sphere's of my business life so that everything gets at least a little progress rather than sitting on the shelf for years.

Does anyone have experience with meditation in Metta or Loving-Kindness meditation? I would like to start a practice and would love to talk to anyone with some experience.
