Hello all, So... this will be my second time writing this out due to fail-y internet. WHY INTERNET WHY?! Sorry, needed to get that out. This is 6 week challenge number 2 for me, after not really at all completing my first one. The problem with my first one is I set myself some hefty goals at a time in my life when I didn't really have any extra available time for them. I'm still busy at the moment, so I've set myself goals this time around that are extending things I'm already doing (rather than adding in brand new stuff). My priorities at the moment and for at least the next few months are eating healthy, learning about pilates, and writing the second draft of my play. My goals are set up to reflect these. Goal the First: Healthy, Paleo, Filling Breakfast - 6 days a week I've been making a big effort with breakfast for a while now, but it's time to be structured about it and let it just be 'how I eat breakfast now', rather than 'I have to make myself special breakfast'. Grades A = 6 healthy brekkies/week B = 5 healthy brekkies/week C = 4 healthy brekkies/week D = 3 healthy brekkies/week FAIL = 2 healthy brekkies/week (or less) Goal the Second: Attend Pilates Class - 2 days a week I signed up with a yoga/pilates studio on a gnarly membership that means I can go nearly whenever I want. Yay! Trying to focus on taking the Level 1 pilates classes and build up some knowledge and strength, but this can help me build consistency in my attendance. Grades A = 2 classes/week B = 1 class/week FAIL = 0 classes/week Goal the Third: Pilates at Home - practice 3 times a week at home For days when my schedule doesn't allow me to attend class, and so that I'm being consistent (a 3 day no pilates gap will probably mean I lose whatever strength/knowledge I gained in the last class). Grades A = 3 sessions/week B = 2 sessions/week C = 1 session/week FAIL = 0 sessions/week SIDE QUEST: Writing my play - 40 minutes, 5 days a week I'm not very good at making sure I write regularly, so my stamina is pretty bad. This side quest will mean I build up my stamina while also working towards that second draft I mentioned earlier (and probably make the writing of that draft a much more pleasant experience because I won't be stressing a week out from deadline...) Grades A = 5 days/week B = 4 days/week C = 3 days/week D = 2 days/week FAIL = 1 day/week (or less) Ok. Well I better get on with it as now that I've written it down it's something I should do. I've made myself a little chart to put up on my wall and record my progress, and I'm aiming to update on here at the end of each week with my marks and any thoughts on how it's all been going. Looking forward to seeing what everyone else is up to and being a part of NF's excellent solidarity. Go team! - SconeMaker
