Varelse Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 This challenge is very similar than the last one. I'm focusing in the same goal: finish the thing that stops me moving forward. Goal #1: Finish my MPhil Dissertation 2.0 Last challenge I tried to achieve one big piece each week and I didn't succeed. This one, I'm trying to achieve a small one each day. Write a page (2 points), write a paragraph (1 point) or even rewrite an old paragraph (0.5 points) will be a success. A wasted day will be -1 point. The goal is getting more than 30 points. A: >30 points. B: >20 points. C: >15 points. +3WIS +2CHA Goal #2: Mindful eating Stick to a 1690Kcal plan with the following macros: PRO 148 (35%) CHO 127 (30%) FAT 66 (35%) And (the mindful part) track EVERY FOOD I EAT here. +1CON +1WIS Goal #3: Commit to a regular routine for one month Do indoor cycling on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and lift weights on Tuesday and Thursday (torso/leg routine). 25 workouts = A 20 workouts = B 15 workouts = C less than 15 = FAIL +1STA +1STR +1CON +1CHA Life goal: Meditate Meditate 15 minutes per day. >30 days = A >28 days = B >26 days = C <26 days = FAIL +1WIS Bonus: Read Exactly the same than the last challenge: my goal is reading two books each week, something classical and something newer.

Jessebel Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 I love your reading goal. I am lucky to get in a book a week these days. And your routine goal! I feel like building routine is key and, while finding the best groove can be challenging, it is worth while to dedicate time into developing a routine. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment
AverageFish Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 I love how you've broken your dissertation work into measurable pieces so you can get credit for accomplishing a little each day! I need to ponder this for my goals. 2 Quote Link to comment

I know that my reading goal seems ambitious, but it's my job. In the good ol'times I've read one book almost every day. Of course, that was an insane amount of books and I needed to avoid the anxiety of reading a book every day, so I'm happy with my current goal. 2 Quote Level 4 10 WIS | 2 STR | 2 STA | 2 CON | 5 CHA | 1 DEX battle log | epic quest The Stoic Path of Virtue: #1 | #2 | #3 Current challenge: Don't break the challenge Link to comment
Loveable_Bouncer Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 I envy you quite a bit... I personally have a rough time to keep focus on one book... (Facebook ruined me for the enjoyment of long winded reading spells). 1 Quote Larger than Average Fairy Druid Level 1 10 STR / 8 DEX / 10 CON / 13 INT / 13 WIS / 17 CHA (DnD Stats) Link to comment
Bee Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Awesome reading goal! My goal has been to read about 10 YA novels this summer so I can make recommendations to my students in the fall (or at least know what they're talking about when they discuss certain books). Not quite as ambitious, but so great to get back into a favorite habit. 2 Quote Moon Bee // Druid // Level 4 Challenges // DBL 1 2 3 4 5: Bee is Everything Link to comment

Loveable_Bouncer Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Sorry to hear about the panic attack on Wednesday, hope it was better rest of the week.

Mindful eating 1637 Kcal. Workout Legs. Meditation Fifteen minutes done. Week Zero - Friday MPhil None at all. Mindful eating 1244 Kcal. Workout No workout. Meditation Fifteen minutes done.

Varelse Posted August 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 I've been without Internet the past week, and on vacation the two previous weeks, so this challenge cannot be updated. I've done almost good, with some things I want to change, but it has not been completely missed. See you in the next one. 1 Quote Level 4 10 WIS | 2 STR | 2 STA | 2 CON | 5 CHA | 1 DEX battle log | epic quest The Stoic Path of Virtue: #1 | #2 | #3 Current challenge: Don't break the challenge Link to comment
