RES Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 So I have a pretty new spreadsheet for this challenge quarter (may look very familiar to some, ) I've decided in order to make the 4 week cycle work for me I'm going to incorporate week 0 and lump it into quarters...if this works for you as well feel free to borrow my sheet (file/save copy into Google Drive I think...) and tweak it to fit your needs My overall, far reaching, want to accomplish this year, goal is to lose 40 lbs...at the very minimum I want to look good nekkid In my opinion, not anyone else! For the next three months to work towards this goal I'm going to go to the gym 5x a week, or if I'm not able to do that I will do an alternate workout (such as hitting my step goal, bike ride, bodyweight workout...etc) I'm going to stick to the routine I worked up with the trainer because it's do-able and to see if it's going to make a difference...I may modify this in the future if I'm not seeing results. I may also add tracking at some point to see where I'm hitting with calories if results are not forthcoming. Sleep is a struggle for me, I rarely get 7 hours a night and this makes a huge difference in my energy, not to mention my pain levels if I don't...I'm going to try and do better with this again... The last one is NF related, I am tired of going weeks without checking in on here, so I'm going to make it a point to not only be on here, but post in my own thread at least 3 times a week to keep myself accountable...I did better with my goals when I was doing that... Now to catch up with everyone! 11 Quote RES...and I want to live days worth dying for Current: RES: Still in the Struggle Spoiler Really Eclectic Scorpio, Level 79 |1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16|17|18|19|20|21|22|23|24|25|26|27|28|29|30|31|32|33|34|35|36|37|38|39|40|41|42|43|44|45|46|47|48|49|50|51|52|53|54|55|56|57|58|59|60|61|62|63|64|65|66|67|68|69|70|71|72|73|74|75|76|77|78|79|80|81|82|83|84| | My Character Page | Tracking Spreadsheet | My Blog | Growth happens when you care more about the well being of your future self than the comfort of your present self!

RES Posted January 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 So gym on Sunday didn't happen...was in too much pain to hurt anyone so no risk there. Got breakfast casserole made, she put up some shelves in cabinets for me to make storage a bit easier in the limited space so was able to arrange some things a bit easier and we binge watched netflix. I love having a job that I look forward to going to work Gym was done yesterday...Monday's workout includes push ups, which I am not able to do yet...modified with planks, think I like the substitution... Still need to make an Eye Dr appointment, out of contact lenses and can't seem to find arms in the correct length when wearing my glasses 6 Quote RES...and I want to live days worth dying for Current: RES: Still in the Struggle Spoiler Really Eclectic Scorpio, Level 79 |1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16|17|18|19|20|21|22|23|24|25|26|27|28|29|30|31|32|33|34|35|36|37|38|39|40|41|42|43|44|45|46|47|48|49|50|51|52|53|54|55|56|57|58|59|60|61|62|63|64|65|66|67|68|69|70|71|72|73|74|75|76|77|78|79|80|81|82|83|84| | My Character Page | Tracking Spreadsheet | My Blog | Growth happens when you care more about the well being of your future self than the comfort of your present self!
