a simple challenge, Leimanu

[Leimanu]

Hi  Doing a super-simple Challenge after a long time away.

 

1. Workout 3x/wk

- 2x during work week, 1x on weekend.

- plan out work week to for a morning workout before work 2x/wk

- No time goal, just workouty-stuff

 

2. Food prep on weekend for 2 breakfast and snacks.

- so bored with apple and nuts for snacks.  Find some FUN ones!

- grab and go breakfast for the 2 workout mornings

 

3. Track meals 4d/wk

 

4. 60s journal in am and pm, 4d/wk

 

Award for making it it to the end of challenge: buy an old school Star Wars or NASA t-shirt

(requirements: still posting by end of week 4, at least one of each goal a week)

 

Projects for challenge: 

• Find my Fitness "Why"...rewrite my story
• Write four blog posts 
• Find and watch Star Wars

 

I haven't felt strong enough to fight the dark side for a long time....

 

 

...but the past doesn't determine the future....

 

 

...and the fact that I've conquered a lot means I can conquer this...

 

 

...I have wells of strength that I don't even know about....

 

 

...I choose my destiny.

It’s nice to see you back. What are you doing for workouts these days?

 Well hey, Sloth, thanks for remembering me.

 

My go-to workout is still FitnessBlender.  Now that's it's (slightly) cooler in FL, I want to get more walks in

Almost-First day of challenge!

 

For prep, I wanted a tracking system that I always have with me.  I'm still analog, so I picked my planner, made a separate section, and listed enough tick boxes for the weekly goals.

 

I also just watched this video for meal prep which is perfect for my challenge as it's meal prep for 4 days, has very little cooking, and is grab-n-go.  New snacks will be boiled eggs and trail mix with popcorn.  Then I'll write it up all pretty to put on the fridge.

Week 1 wrap-up   Yo, still here after one week.

 

I acted like a Jedi, but missed pretty bad on a few things

 

 

1. Workout 3x/wk ACHIEVED 

- 2x during work week, 1x on weekend.

 

2. Food prep on weekend for 2 breakfast and snacks. ACHIEVED

- loved the popcorn trail mix

- absolutely no interest in the premade meals.  Absolutely none.  What a waste of $ and food.

 

3. Track meals 4d/wk ; only on day this week.

 

4. 60s journal in am and pm, 4d/wk ; at least 3x in morning, 1x at night.

 

Find my Fitness "Why"...rewrite my story 

"I want to be a healthy, confident person."  A few times this week, I asked myself, "What would a healthy, confident person do?" It led me to waking up on time to workout before work, choosing a healthy dinner, and doing a full Bikram class one evening.

Not doing hot this week.  I didn't meal prep, not even making the trail mix snack bags, so there's no food plan everyday.  There's no meal journaling because I don't want to remember these bad choices.  I haven't done any workouts.  Yesterday morning, as I tried to get out of bed, I thought to myself, "What would a healthy, confident person do?" and fell back to sleep before the answer.

 

It's getting dire, though.  I feel so rolly-polly.  The word "heft" comes to mind a few times a day.  My knee hurts.  I woke up one day and my knee hurts.
