thebenevolentcounselor Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 This is my second challenge and although last challenge wasn't a complete flop, it wasn't the best either. Since then and now I have had a vacation (and well we all know how that goes). But I am back at it and hopefully with no foreseeable vacations or holidays, I am hoping to get some good momemtum. Goals for this challenge: Goal #1 SLEEP I am going to get 8 hours or more of sleep each night. Goal # 2 Eat Veggies EVERYDAY Goal # 3 Strength Train 3x a week I am only going to give myself 3 to work on this challenge, but in addition I am hoping to read a book for work and complete some CEU's for my licensure. 5 Quote Rebel level 3 "To keep the body in good health is a duty...otherwise we shall not be able to keep the mind strong and clear." - Buddha "A sad soul can be just as lethal as a germ." - John Steinbeck #1 #2 Link to post

Four goals is just a guideline. Some people do more, some people do less -- what's most important is setting yourself up for success. If you force yourself to bite off more than you can chew just to comply with the guidelines, and then end up having a less than stellar performance, did you fail or did the guidelines fail you? It sounds to me like you're doing plenty. Your goals look great! And if you get extra stuff done as well, so much the better, right? 2 Quote Link to post
thebenevolentcounselor Posted August 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Update on goals last week. To explain... I had a toothache all last week, was finally able to get to the dentist on Thursday. Now to me a toothache can be compared to giving birth to a 20lb baby with no medication (all you mothers will be able to understand the analogy). I didn't work out, I didn't eat much at all and I didn't sleep. Now. I am finally pain free and hoping this week goes a lot better. 4 Quote Rebel level 3 "To keep the body in good health is a duty...otherwise we shall not be able to keep the mind strong and clear." - Buddha "A sad soul can be just as lethal as a germ." - John Steinbeck #1 #2 Link to post

Happy you're now pain free. Sounds like a really rough week, totally understand that much pain throwing everything else off until it gets resolved. 1 Quote Put together enough small wins over a long enough period of time, and you’ll find yourself in high level gear fighting dragons before you know it.

thebenevolentcounselor Posted August 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Week 2... meh x means not successful bad headache the past two days! 1 Quote Rebel level 3 "To keep the body in good health is a duty...otherwise we shall not be able to keep the mind strong and clear." - Buddha "A sad soul can be just as lethal as a germ." - John Steinbeck #1 #2 Link to post
Chesire Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Sorry about the headache days. I know you say week 2 was meh, but at least you got some strength, sleep, and veg in there. Maybe you actively decide this week is a 2x strength week to take into account the headaches? Adapt and overcome? 2 Quote daily dare 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 #8 #7 #6 #5 #4 #3 #2 #1 Link to post
