Terah Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 Hi there! Long time no see I've been AWOL for a few years, but I'm finally ready to come back. Older and, hopefully, wiser. So here are my goals for this challenge: Food: Back to kcal counting It seems to be the easiest way to get my weight in check. I'm using EatThisMuch to help me this time instead of MFP, which for some reason does weird stuff with my head (trying to eat too little and then binge when I can't anymore). This app seems healthier in it's way to have you stay on course. I'll be sticking to aproximately 1800 kcal. Slow and steady wins the race. Movement: keep on moving, 3 times a week I've been exercising 3 times a week for a while now. Some weeks are better than others. I've got a membership to a fitness center where they do circuit training: all the equipement is in a circle and after 40 seconds you have to switch to the next one. 3 rounds of that is 30 minutes. I started there in April. And it was fun, but it's getting boring now, so I need a little accountablity on that front. I've also been working out at home when I didn't want to people. Life: Read! I've been unable to sit down an read for a long time: I just read the same sentence over and over again and my mind just didn't want to cooperate. But lately I've been able to read again, so that's what I'm going to do! For 20 minutes each day. It has to be a book. Or a magazine. A hard copy of something. Yup that's it. Let's go!!!! 5 Quote Doodlie for life, Pancake by choice Current Challenge Spoiler Challenge 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 Challenges 2017: 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 Challenges 2018: 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, Challenges 2019: 36, 37, 38, 39, 40 Challenges 2020: 41, 42, 43, 44, 45 Challenges 2023: 46 Link to comment

Terah Posted January 10 Author Report Share Posted January 10 It's my birthday! We celebrated as a family over the weekend, and my and my husband are going to celebrate our birthdays together with family on the 21st. My kids made me cute drawings and my husband gave me a donation for the new computer I'm saving for. My current one keeps freezing and BSOD'ing on me, despite all my attempts to fix it. It's probably a hardware problem. The challenge is going well so far. I really didn't want to work out yesterday, so I did it anyway. Food could be a little better, but it's that time of the month, and my birthday, so I'm going to give myself some slack here. My head said no to reading the last couple of days. I'm sure I'll get back into it. I think I need to lower my goal to reading one sentence a day. That might get things going again. 3 Quote Doodlie for life, Pancake by choice Current Challenge Spoiler Challenge 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 Challenges 2017: 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 Challenges 2018: 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, Challenges 2019: 36, 37, 38, 39, 40 Challenges 2020: 41, 42, 43, 44, 45 Challenges 2023: 46 Link to comment
