new druid, first challenge!

[addieplum]

Hey all! I first joined back in 2018, but haven't done much until now. I got laid off from a job I moved states for, and instead of freaking out I started working out. So corny, but it's really helping. I had been doing really well for about three weeks, and then had an attack of sciatica. I'm looking to be back on track by the time this new challenge begins, so here are my goals for the five weeks based on what I was already doing before my injury:

 

• bodyweight workout 1x a week
• walk every day 5 min

• meditation every day

• yoga 3x a week

Those goals look useful and wholesome. Good luck!

Hi! I like your goals. I just read this book about habit building. It said that the best time to get a new habit to stick is during transition periods during your life. It sounds like this may be one of those moments for you. Good luck with your goals and I hope things get better for you. You've got this!

it's going ok! thanks for checking in! 

 

i missed one day of walking due to downpour and lack of rain gear, and fell asleep before meditation one night. so far i've done 3 yoga workouts and planning to do my bodyweight tomorrow.
