Emu's First Challenge

[Dark_Emu_Lord]

 So as part of my goal to get fitter and loose weight I'm going to be doing these items.

1. (Diet) Record everything I eat into my bullet journal.
2. (Diet) Not drink any soda for 6/7 days
3. (Fitness) Do the beginner Bodyweight workout starting at 1 a week and then increasing by 1 every week until I am doing 3 times a week.
4. (Level up Life) Meditate 5/7 days.

I'm trying not to do too much at once because then I just get tired and don't want to do any of the rest of it hence the gradual increase of exersice.

Wish me luck.

You don't need luck - you can do it!

Welcome and good luck with the challenge! Quitting regular soda can be tricky, but it's a great idea. 

[MezzotheLefty]

Good luck! 

Soda has been an issue for me recently too. I've got a similar goal this challenge!

An excellent plan.

Is this one a big drop from you current level of consumption?

So I've been dialing down my soda consumption recently, down to one glass a day with the rest being replaced with fizzy water.

That's a good replacement strategy. I wouldn't have thought of that myself.

Love this goal! Are you using an app for meditating? How long are your sessions? 

 

Good luck with the challenges!

[Mr.CaffeineHead]

Best of luck! Those are some solid goals you have posted.

I'm using headspace, might as well use that spotify student subscription and usually my sessions are 10 minutes.

So for the start of this challenge, Sunday Monday Tuesday I managed to have no fizzy drinks other than water, I've been recording everything I eat and I've meditated Sunday Monday. Tomorrow is the first bodyweight workout for which I will warm up using the switch jump rope program.

[Dark_Emu_Lord]

So I managed to do one circuit of the bodyweight workout. It was hard. Next week I'm doing Monday & Wednesday.

[Epsilonte]

Yay for drinking a lot of water and doing that workout! Keep up the good work!

[Captain-Bones]

Soda has always been a tough one for me. Especially as I use it for energy when I am flagging. 

 

Keep up the good work!

[cd667]

How's it going, @Dark_Emu_Lord?

[Dark_Emu_Lord]

So I've managed to keep up with the only having soda 6/7 days and my gradual increase of bodyweight exersices but the meditation and food journalling have been a complete failure for the last week

 

[Epsilonte]

New week, new chance!
