Last challenge I had some mental health issues towards the end and so the last week was a bit of a wash. The quests I set for myself were doable, though, in the early weeks, and I'm aiming for similar goals this time around. GOAL 1: LIFTING Hitting all my workouts, and doing them to the best of my ability. I'm up to Rank 1B in the Barbell Battalion for the Rebel Strength guide, which has me aiming for 4 workouts per week. I'm aiming for Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Metric: hitting all workouts Goal: 16/16 workouts completed GOAL 2: EATING I'm still aiming at prepping and eating my breakfasts and lunches, with a view to paleo meals. I've also got an underlying theme of quitting sugar, because I've found that when I eat much less sugar than usual, I feel much better. I'm trying to do it slowly but surely, so as to not accidentally slip up and eat a whole tub of ice cream. Hard to do, but I'm working on it. Metric: eating all prepped meals for the week, and not eating sugar Goal: 40/40 prepped meals eaten Additional goal: 28/28 days without sugar (this is lofty, and probably unattainable - but I want to track my sugar intake and see how I go with one or two or more days per week without sugar, or with minimal sugar) GOAL 3: YOGA I have really bad back problems, because I have mild scoliosis and a terrible posture. Instead of trying to do one large chunk of yoga per week, I'm instead aiming this time for five to ten minutes of yoga/stretching per day, ideally just after I wake up or just before I go to bed. Metric: doing yoga every day Goal: 28/28 days that I've practiced yoga GOAL 4: DECLUTTERING Still working on reorganising my books. My goal here is to put up a book to sell on eBay or Carousell every week. This is to help both with culling and organising my book collection and with saving money for my big US trip in September/October Metric: books put on the internet to sell, and complete organisation of fiction collection of books Goal: 4/4 books up to sell additional goal: 4/4 sessions of organising books GOAL 5: WRITING Mostly my goal here is to finish my uni semester well, to finish off my assessments and to go to classes. I also want to spend at least one short session writing for fun every week. Metric: assessments completed, and fun writing sessions completed Goal: 4/4 assessments for university completed additional goal: 4/4 fun writing sessions completed
