DEAN EATS PIE This challenge I will be working on small steps to clean up my act where food's concerned. Nothing too crazy, not going 0-100 mph here, because oh how I know I'll react negatively to THAT. Sticking with weekly calorie goal, though it's a little higher starting Week 1, Day 1, aiming for maintenance at roughly 1500 (my activity level can vary, so this is tied a bit to that). Scoring: P/F by week, with any activity-based lenience decided by me. Cleaning up my act part 1: Quota on comfort snacks, this includes YOU Lenny & Larry's. FOUR comfort snacks per week to start off. I hope that's not too strict. It counts if it makes macros hard. CLARIFICATION Day 0.7 -- it counts if the total quantity of shit food is > 200 cals for the day. Number reached b/c 200 cals is like 13% of my calorie limit, and while perfectly arbitrary, limits on this are probably good. Cleaning up my act part 2: ONE "clean" day per week. Just one. Clean means meats, veggies, dairy, eggs, and fats like oil or butter within macro ranges. This means 0 shit foods, so the usual 200 calorie allowance is out, just one day a week. SAM WORKS A CASE Same as last time. Grade my Beyond 5/3/1 lifts. Scoring: All 4 sessions in a week = A, 3 = B, 2 = C DEAN EATS MORE PIE Protein intake. Same as last time. Adjusting number to actual bottom of acceptable range so I'll stop saying "meh close enough" when I hit 95 in a day. Aiming for 95g+ daily. Scoring: 6/7 days hitting target = A, 5 = B, 4 = C CHARLIE MEETS THE WIZARD Same as last time for mobility stuffs. If I do well on my food challenge, this is next up to get a minor upgrade. 15+ minutes per day. Can be self-guided stretches and rolling, a yoga video, whatever. Scoring: 6/7 = A, 5 = B, 4 = C WOMAN OF LETTERS Same as last time, adulting points. Revamped so that studying is a full 5 points, as long as it's a full half hour or more, and as a bonus, every adulty thing I do after that gets DOUBLE POINTS. Writing staying the same for now so I can focus studying. Exam NEXT Saturday eek I'm not ready not ready. (After the exam, the bonus will shift over to writing.) Going to strongwoman class gets 10 points (new addition). Meditation gets a solid 5 (another new addition). Scoring: Keeping track in daily update. New daily scoring FORMAT (for easier keeping track of, inspired by Suzaqu and others) 1.1: 0/1, 0/1, 0/1, 0/1 1.2: 0/4, 0/4, 0/4, 0/4 1.3: 0/1, 0/1, 0/1, 0/1 2.0: 0/4, 0/4, 0/4, 0/4 3.0: 0/7, 0/7, 0/7, 0/7 4.0: 0/7, 0/7, 0/7, 0/7 Point balance: __ Starting & Ending measurements 8/22/16 (left) --> 9/19/16 (right) weight: 106.8 lbs | 107.4 lbs +.6 waist: 25.5" | 25.1" -.4" at navel: 28" | 29" +1" hips: 34.75" | 34.5" -.25" butt: 36" | 36" +0" r thigh: 20" | 20" +0" l thigh: 20" | 19.75" -.25" r calf: 12.25" | 12.25" +0" l calf: 12.5" | 12.4" -.1" r bicep: 10.5" | 10.75" +.25" l bicep: 10.5" | 10.5" +0" chest: 30.9" | 30.5" -.4" bust: 32.3" | 32.5" +.2" r forearm: 8.8" | 8.75" -.05" l forearm: 8.5" | 8.6" +.1"
