Hi! Happy New Challenge Time! Recently, I've been reading this website healthybrains.org and it's pretty straightforward. And with a new challenge coming up...well... Pillar 1. Physical Exercise- This is going to be straightforward. 40 minutes of aerobic activity 5 days a week, strength training 3 days, yoga 6 days. Just check off the boxes and get it done, Snarky. Pillar 2. Food and Nutrition- 3 meals a day with a fruit and or vegetable at each meal. I already limit red meat and cured meats, but I can cut out snacking (goodbye, you luscious cookies) Pillar 3. Medical Health- UGH. This one. During this challenge, I am going to find an OB/GYN and a dermatologist and make appointments. I also have a dental appointment and I'm NOT canceling it. No more putting this off (like I have for a year) After I make my appointments, I need to write to my general practitioner with an update. Pillar 4. Sleep and Relaxation- I AM NOT GOOD AT THIS SLEEPING/RELAXING STUFF. But I CAN be. I'm going to stick to a sleep schedule and retrain my body to stay asleep. I'm also going to have more unplugged time away from screens since they stress me out. MY EYE KEEPS TWITCHING Y'ALL!!!. Pillar 5. Mental Fitness- Keep working on learning Spanish and playing the ukulele to make new brain wrinkles and have some fun. Pillar 6. Social Interaction- Reach out to friends/family at least once a week. No being weird and reclusive for more than a week anymore. Also, photo theme this time is SLEEPING ANIMALS!!! Goodnight!
