Hi everyone! I'm Ensi, a 23-year-old Rebel from Finland. This is my third challenge since my Reboot and I'm very excited to start another challenge! What you'll find here: · hormone friendly eating (I have PCOS) · dealing with emotional eating (mostly due to boredom or stress) · chocoholism · strength training at home and gym · fangirling · studying! "Sisu" in Finnish basically means "to not give in when faced with difficulties, to exceed oneself". I'm going to keep a positive attitude and see where that takes me! The Sweetest Day of the Week is something I'm going to keep from my previous challenges. I'm allowed to have one small portion of chocolate daily, and on Saturdays I can have whatever I want. This is simple, removes the guilt from eating sweets, and I don't feel like I'm deprived of anything. Even though I can have anything I want on Saturdays, usually I don't even want all that much. GOAAAALS: #1 Develop Mindfulness Skills My life is very busy and hectic at the moment: a lot of studies, assignments and essays. Combined with my general anxiety and the SAD season, I need to find techniques to keep myself a happy little Rebel. So, every day I’m going to do something fun! I also have the bad habit of staying up late and surfing online. I’m going to cut down the time I spend on the computer and try to go to the bed by 10.30 PM, read a book and sleep well. - spend 20 minutes daily doing something calm and enjoyable: drawing, stretching, listening to music etc. - no computer after 10 PM #2 Mind Your Chocolate Milk, Numbnuts! This goal is all about cutting down on my dairy, chocolate and nut consumption. To put it simply, I can have one portion of each daily, but not more. I’m also going to opt for goat cheese for dairy, when possible. #3 Get Moving I’m a bit worried with this goal already (almost wrote â€goatâ€). I’m almost back in health, but the flu and pneumonia I had have made me a bit paranoid with exercising. I don’t know how to set up this goal, but it’s important that the exercise isn’t too rough: I’m not training for any competitions or such, I’m simply aiming to boost my immune system and have energy through the dark autumn. I’m going to aim for three workouts every week. To keep things simple, they can be any exercise I want. I’m also walking a lot daily. ** I'm assigning attribute points a bit later Have a great challenge, everyone!
