Sambalina eases into 2016

[Sambalina]

Hello Warriors! I've missed you. I'm super excited to be back, and ready to level up my life in 2016.

 

Why am I here in the warriors when my quest is not very strength-centered? Because I'm working up to it I've not lifted for about a year and am very keen to get back into it! This challenge is my warmup, and I'll join a gym and get set up with a lifting program in the next challenge.

 

This is like my pre-return challenge. I'm on vacation for the first two weeks, and will probably be recovering from vacation for the second 2 weeks.

 

I live in Korea, where it's freezing, but I've been in Bali for the past 2 months where it is gorgeous. I'll also be going back to work (in a job I'm looking forward to quitting). So, I'm predicting some post-vacation blues for sure. I have a full challenge planned for March, but this is going to be my 'ease into it' challenge.

 

Boss goals for 2016:

- Complete NRoL4W (have started it about 4 times and not made it through)

- Look fantastic naked (yoga and lifting + diet)

- Sort out my digestion (I have a plan for next challenge - hello, elimination diet)

- Earn $3,000 from Eating Psychology Coaching

- Move in with my Boyfriend

 

Kill the rats in the basement baby step for this 4 week challenge:

Fitness:

1) Lift, yoga, or swim every day. I'm travelling and not sure what I'll have to work with, but I can always do at least one thing on this list. This is to get me back into the habit of purposeful daily movement. (?/28)

 

Diet:

2) No liquid calories. Being on vacation, the iced teas and fruit juices have become a bit of a habit. Time to take that down. (?/28)

 

3) Eat Protein at breakfast. Eggs, bacon, chicken, steak... whatever it is, just add some in there. It helps me stay fuller and make better decisions later. (?/28)

 

Life:

4) Brainstorm, plan, and organise a live Eating Psychology workshop for the last weekend in Feb. Focus: How to eat well and lose weight in South Korea even when you've got no time, money, or motivation. 

 

I'm adding these to my Level up your life quest list if anyone wants to check that out  

 

Ok, I'm off to eat some protein for breakfast!

Hey Momo! Great to see you too

Ok, so on day 3 here in Bali and I'm going great!

3/3 for mindful movements (been swimming each day)

3/3 on no sweetened drinks

2/3 for protein at breakfast (I am embarassed to admit, I chose the bread basket today... it was the wrong choice and I won't do it again!)

For the life goal: I've got the blog post written, now need to contact the doctor who lets me use his offices for my workshops and get the dates sorted out.

I'm feeling good with this little bit of momentum behind me. With only 2 weeks of vacation left, I'm definitely starting to move into a different mindset, and feel a little time pressured to 'make the most of it'. I am super excited to make 2016 a year of awesome, though!!
