ShadowLion Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 After too many challenges away, I'm back. It's been a long, strange trip which has, hopefully, made me a wiser shadow lion... I am building my challenge out of several other small challenges, sort of like challenge "lego bricks." Tiny Habits First, I am using the the five day "Tiny Habits' challenge starting tomorrow to kick things off. I expect to roll these over and build on them as I progress through the four weeks of this challenge. They are tiny, and that's the point. If you aren't already familiar with the concept, you can read more about the theory and method of tiny habits here. I will be following these 3 rules the first week of this challenge. After I turn off my morning alarm, I will do one visualization After I brush my teeth in the evening, I will floss one tooth After I lay down in bed, I will recall one happy memory Vegetarian Challenge Second, I have a goal of eating a vegetarian diet at least 90% of the time by Jan. 1, 2019. I've come to the conclusion that my previous efforts failed because of not really understanding how to keep my macros in healthy balance and get enough of the other nutrients I needed so that I did not crave meat. I'm giving this effort another shot, using this 30 day challenge as a more gradual 60ish day plan. That will overlap nicely with this challenge and next. Just What the Doctor Ordered Third. Recently diagnosed with sleep apnea, I need to use a pressurized airway device at night while I sleep. This condition carries a "compliance" requirement with my health insurance. I am still in the "adaptation" window and doing well, but my competitive streak wants to do REALLY WELL. That, and the doctor put the fear into me with what untreated or poorly treated OSA can lead to. Luckily, they have a "coaching" app that assigns points and let's me see ALL THE DATA! My nerdish side is very motivated by that. This photo of Lion and Safari Park is courtesy of TripAdvisor Photo of a sleeping (and snoring) lioness. Sleeping good; snoring, not. Preparing for the Adventure of a Lifetime Finally, I am easing into a more active exercise routine using some of the ideas from "Tiny Habits' grafted onto some things I was already doing to decrease the amount of sitting I do at work–stretches at my desk, breaks of stair laps or walking or a few bodyweight exercises. I will track these on my spreadsheet and summarize weekly here. This is part of a larger, secret plan I am hatching with a good friend of mine (with whom I have another 30 day health and happiness challenge going). I will gradually reveal details as they coalesce... Hmmm, not such a tiny challenge after all, but neither is it one of the overwhelming Shadowlion challenges of old. Finding my balance with four smallish mini challenges rolled into one larger one. I am still finalizing my point system for the above and will update that in my next post here. Woot! New Nerd Fitness challenge, and my first one as a 60-year-old!!! 3 Quote All men dream, but not equally.

Acronyms will return. And, I will reveal more on the epic adventure plans soon. Yes, a good goal. The big thing for me is retraining years of ingrained eating habits and learning to cook in such a way as to get all the essential nutrients from a vegetarian diet. Definitely challenging sometimes, but doable. Maybe someday I can go completely veg, but working my way to 90% over a couple months should have a pretty significant positive impact. Right now, I am eating meat in meals or snacks three or four times per week, and eating smaller quantities. The goal is to get to one or two times a week, 8 oz or less per week. I can reassess when I get to that point or the 60 day mark, whichever comes first. Quote All men dream, but not equally.

One thing I'm struggling with is how to cook for guests. I am doing ok for myself, but I don't really know what constitutes a presentable or moderately special vegetarian meal. Oh...and I'm actually aiming for 90% pescetarian. Forgot to mention, I haven't cut out seafood and have actually increased it a bit. It's still definitely vegetarian about 75% of the time.

Thanks, Xena - It doesn't seem to be that motivating to me or I'd take the time to do it! Catching up - been doing pretty well on most of my goals, just have been short on time... Updating with a running tally of tiny habits and averages of the others so my progress report is not so boring. Nov 4 - Nov 13, 10 days Tiny Habits After I turn off my morning alarm, I will do one visualization After I brush my teeth in the evening, I will floss one tooth After I lay down in bed, I will recall one happy memory 3|3|3|3|3|3|3|3|3|3 Technically, I completed the second tiny habit last night, but I've been flossing all of my teeth every night (a testament to the effectiveness of this habit-forming method!) despite the "one tooth" tinyness. I only did the one tooth minimum last night so I could keep my 17 day streak on the 100 sleep score alive. See below. Vegetarian Challenge 80% Vegetarian, averaging 5 fruits and veggies per day. Aiming to get to 90% vegetarian and 8+ fruits and veggies per day by Jan. 1, 2019, so sort of okay the last 10 days. Didn't plan well enough for the extra time and shopping it takes to prepare meals these days and I cut corners, though. Filled in with too much cheese and processed carbs just because it was easier. Have a plan to do better on that this coming week. Just What the Doctor Ordered 100 Sleep Score - 17 days straight!!!!! I'll tabulate each night and average out the minutes and AHI at the end of the challenge. It's all in the sleep app. Unfortunately, the company doesn't have an open API for it, so I can't automatically retrieve the data and run calculations or do visualizations with it. That would be cool. I'm being a lazy programmer and putting off having to enter the data by hand! To maintain the perfect score, I have to get a least 7 hours each night of time with my device on. I've been generally getting about 7.5 hours, but last night I barely got in bed in time to make 7 before I had to be up this morning. Down to the minute! (Why I did the minimum on my flossing last night. Didn't want to break my streak!) Preparing for the Adventure of a Lifetime I am up to 9 stair laps at work as of today, from 5 on Nov. 3, and I am generally doing two in a row instead of one. Almost ready to bump it up to three consecutive at least part of the time and I have picked up a little speed, too. This is 4x per week, as I work one day from home. Walk and do strength exercises the other days. Other Point system still not finalized - I'm dropping this one. As Xena pointed out, it isn't really needed. Been doing well with my homework, averaging between 1 - 1.5 hours per day All in all, I'm pretty happy with the progress. Tiny habits work! 5 Quote All men dream, but not equally.
