Titles a bit lame, but I felt like taking a walk down memory lane and posting a f***ton of gifs / memes from my favorite TV comedy, Parks and Rec. Challenge 1: Food Going to attempt a cut this challenge. Eat 2400-2600 calories per day, at least 150g protein, and 80-100g of fat (last one is a total guess). I'll call it a success if I get each one 5 days out of each week. One way to hit that protein goal! Challenge 2: Dance and Accessories Do a mental toughness workout before each dance practice (3x per week) Do Pilates at least 3x per week - I feel better when I do this consistently, so I need to do it Bike to work 5x during the challenge (incl. zero week) - it's about 10 miles round trip, and I've done it before but I let the habit slip, hoping this'll jump-start me getting back into it (it's ok, you can accuse me of being a fake warrior I promise I'm still lifting, just not including it in the challenge because it's habitual Because my goals include dancing and biking. And because the world needs more dancing Ron Swanson. Challenge 3: Faith One of my goals for Lent (this challenge conveniently ends on Easter*) is to get into the practice of praying the rosary (Catholic prayer meditation, for the curious). Given that, I'll be aiming to pray the rosary (or part of one) every day. I've never been good at this, but want to because I feel much calmer and more centered after taking the time to wholly focus on my faith. Success will be hitting this at least 6 days a week. Best pic I could find on-theme for this one. Side challenges: Life Shit Finish R programming basics in Swirl (copied from last challenge) - I'll settle for halfway (there's about 15 modules in the course) Do a mental toughness workout at the start of each work day; end each work day filling out a short retrospective on the day and digitizing notes from the day - I'll be happy with a 4/5 success rate here Keep food and entertainment expenses within budget this month - I've been letting them creep over and making excuses (I'm not going into debt for it, just not saving as much as I otherwise could) Allocate at least 8 hours for sleep each night - ...not what I'm doing for the third bullet. *I always treat challenges as running from Monday - Sunday, splitting a weekend is always odd for me.
