The college football season is just under 6 weeks away so that is where I get the “pre-season†title from. My main goal is to improve my overall health, flexibility, & endurance. I am currently at 150 lbs. & have a waist circumference of 41 inches. I will measure both the weight and circumference each week. 1. Workout; every other day I will do this work-out every other day and will adjust the numbers as I go each week. 5 sets of 5 Push-ups 15 DB Rows 20 second Plank 10 reverse lunges Every Day 100 jumping jacks Grading for each week A: Workout done every other day for whole week B: 3 workouts done(on weeks when 4 could have been done) C: 2 workouts done D: 1 workout done for the week F: no workout 2. Neck Stretches; At least 3 times a day I have neck exercises for corticolis (when the muscle on one side is short and causes the head to lean to the side) which should help me. A: 20 each week, or more B: 15-19 C: 10-14 D: 7-9 F: none-6 3. Walk 30 minutes at least 3x a week. I am aiming for all 5 days of the week. Grading for each week A: walked 5 days B: 4 days C: 3 days D: 1-2 days F: none 4. Food My goal for food is to eat only when hungry and post log. This month ( July/Ramadan) I have fasted for about 30 days; each day till about 8:00 pm. Surprisingly, each day I hardly feel hungry until about 5. Grading each week A: Logged all week B: Logged 5 days C: Logged 3 days D: Logged 2 days F: No logs Life Goal #1; to be more active & spend less time at the computer I added a google chrome app that tracks how long I am on the internet, by minutes; though I will have to monitor the time I spend(if any) on LOTRO since the app cannot track gaming. I will post those minutes each week. Grading for each day (not counting weekends) will be if I personally feel like I had a productive day without being lazy. Life Goal #2: Read Qu'ran. This month I have done well in prayers & fasting(last day of fasting is today) but have done terrible in reading, so I have a goal of reading Quran every night(I do not know Arabic so this is a English translation of the meanings).
