Happy Lunar New Year everyone! I did NOT finish last challenge well and because I hate feeling so low and in the dumps I'll start this new challenge with a handicap: I have to catch up for last challenge lost FOOD and hours studying. I'll keep the objectives aligned but simplified and made slightly easier given the likely stress at work of the next 6 weeks: - focus on weight loss: 6 weeks, 6 kilos. Simple. Now STOP EATING SNACKS! - EAT LESS SNACKS. Or at least less sugary snacks. Focus on fruits, egg whites, milk, non sugary drinks (that means no English tea latte). I am 5.25 points behind. - STUDY STUDY STUDY. I can see the exam looming over me. I can see the polysyllabic words laughing at me, the grammar melting in front of my eyes... Unless I can Conquer The World Of Korean Vocabulary and Grammar!!! I shall conquer little by little (kinda like CoC... need... to train... barbarians!!!!). I am 14 hours behind... - SLEEP. Last challenge this is the thing I let go. I comped a lot and then forgot about it... but I need to sleep more. - Also exercise. Same as last challenge since it mixed body weight and cardio well and did not make me crazy. Up the lower body reps to 30 on double days (Mon/Wed) and 20 on singles (Fri). Cardio + dance on Tue/Thur and couch/TV on Sat and Sun To put it SMARTly: - Diet: No carbs during meals (2 exceptions per week), 3 snacks a day, only 1 with carbs. Dairy doesn't count as carbs. Comp: 1.5 for fully no carbs day, +0.5 for each carby meal swapped for a non-carby one. Total max comp per week +4.5. Total +4WIS+2CHA (high risk high points) - Study: 10 hours a week, however broken down, with one-on-one classes and TV counting for half the time. +3WIS - Sleep: That means 11pm no more lights. No matter what. NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!! +4CON - Exercise: just because BOUYAH!!! New start, new rules, new objective. Let's. Do, This!
