Maybe you don't need to. Have you ever looked into Intermittent fasting? It works for a lot of us on here. 

The grain industry spent a lot of time and money convincing us that breakfast is the most important meal of the day...personally I feel better when I ignore them and eat when I'm hungry!

 

I have looked into it before, although I haven’t tried it. I’m just not sure of the best way for me to go about it. I guess I have been doing it by accident though Lol.

¡Buena suerte con tu desafío! ¿Qué acento quieres aprender más? El español de Sudamérica es muy diferente al de España, por ejemplo.

 

Gracias amigo. El acento yo quiero aprender es Espana. Que tu acento?

(I’m typing this reply on phone so unfortunately I can’t put any accents on the letters).

Soy de los Estados Unidos, pero parte de mi familia es de España, por lo que mi acento es como el de ellos. Pero no hablo con fluidez, ¡y quiero practicar también!

End of week analysis:

 

Goals I met:

- walk 4 mornings per week. (I again managed a walk everyday).

- strength train 3 mornings per week. (I managed to strength train 4 mornings this week).

- write in my writing journal everyday.

- do a couple of sessions on a language app everyday

- speak to someone who speaks Spanish once per week. (I have managed to have a couple of conversations).

 

Goals I didn’t accomplish:

- stick to diet plan.

- enter the writing competition. (I have completed the second draft but I just need to add the finishing touches and the I will submit it).

 

How I’m going to improve:

- I’m am going to drop breakfast and consciously practice intermittent fasting.

- again I will continue to rewrite and edit so that I am happy that I couldn’t have produced anything better.

Nice job on meeting the goals! I love how you're listing what you're going to do to improve.

[Jka14]

Nice to see how you're getting on! 

 

Seems like most things are coming along really well

Coming from someone who has an artist sister, I know you will never *truly* be happy with what you have produced.

 

I challenge you to submit your writing next time you open it to edit.  Once you've finished the edit session just press send!

Thanks I realised that if didn’t do something like that then I would just keep missing those goals.

Yes I did, at first I was nervous but I only did one final edit and then submitted it so I will have to wait and see how I get on. I’m not expecting much but it will be interesting to get their feedback, at the very least.

[Jka14]

Woooo! Well done 

That's a really big step. I hope you get some good,  useful feedback.

Challenge summary:

 

Goals I met:

- walk 4 mornings per week. (I have reached the point where I walk everyday).

- strength train 3 mornings per week. (I am able to strength train at least 3 times per week every week).

- write in my writing journal everyday. (I have taken to doing this in the evening before bed).

- do a couple of sessions on a language app everyday. (I am consistently working through the Duolingo app everyday).

- speak to someone who speaks Spanish once per week. (I have managed to have at least one conversation per week even if it hasn’t been long).

 - enter the writing competition. ( I was finally able to achieve this with a bit of a push from Jka14).

 

Goals I didn’t accomplish:

- stick to diet plan.(I found this the most difficult and while I didn’t give up I struggled to eat in a consistent manner, I think that moving forward I practice intermittent fasting and I will try and eat with more variation so as to not get bored wit my food).

Thanks having you directly challenge me to do it was a massive help.
