Jonesy Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 So like most other members, my 2016 was not the best but it was definitely not the worst. I started the year at my highest weight and ended up losing 26lbs. I did 2 5ks, stopped drinking soda (8/30/16) and completed a Whole30. All of those things were awesome but this year I want to do better. Each week I will do the following with a bonus task (see below for week bonuses). Workout - Salvage 3 gadgets per workout Weight myself on Sundays - Loot 1 Dinglehopper for each weigh in 10 min Yoga - Discover 2 gizmos every 10 mins 1 Mobility exercise a day - Recover 1 whosits per mobility exercise Read for 5 hours - Acquire 5 thingamabobs every week Bullet Journal tracking - Find 1 whatsits per day of tracking Bullet Journal page designs - Obtain 2 whatsits per page design Points : 100 antiques/artifacts = passing Bonus Tasks Per week (8 artifacts available to collect) Week 1 : Life isn't perfect but that doesn't mean you stop living. (Pocket Watch + Grandfather Clock) Tasks : Create a workout routine & cleaning schedule I can stick with. It doesn't have to be perfect but it needs to be done. Week 2 : Don't let anyone take your voice away! (A birdcage + A Sword) Tasks : Do the Women's March in Seattle (1/21) & Knit pussyhat for the March. Find other opportunities to be heard. Week 3 : Have impossible dreams and work towards a goal. (Books + Helm) Tasks : Figure out what my fitness end game is. Find my purpose. Week 4 : Facing your fears is good and so is expanding your comfort zone (Jack in the box + Mirror) Tasks : Create my costume for the Disney Princess 5k and post finished product pictures to Instagram 9 Quote GoodReads MyFitnessPal Spoiler Previous Challenges: 2020: 1.20 - 2019: 1.19 l 2.19 2018: 1.18 l 2.18 l 3.18 l 4.18 l 5.18 l 6.18 l 7.18 2017: 1.17 I 2.17 I 3.17 I 4.17 I 5.17 l 6.17 l 7.17 l 8.17 I 9.17 l 10.17 2016: 1.16 l 2.16 l DA v.1 l DA v.2 I DA v.2 Reloaded I DA v.3 I DA v.4 I 8.16 I 9.16 I DA v.5 I 11.16 2012: 1 2013: 2 l 3 l 4 l 5 l 6 l 7 l 8 2014: 9 l 10 l Not Done Yet l Time to Conquer l Conquering HFC for Life!

I don't think I'll do a princess though maybe a side kick or something. Got any ideas for mobility stuff? What kind of mobility? I've been doing some primal movement stuff on my non-strength training days. They are more tiring than they look. The following 2 videos are what I've been using one after the other during the same workout, but there are tons of them out there. The third is just one I like to watch when I'm doing basic stretching. Not sure if its because I enjoy watching the girl, the types of movements possible, or both. lol Primal movement has introduced me to a whole new type of exercising. 2 Quote Current Challenge We are what we repeatedly do.

Jonesy Posted January 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 I started my biggest loser type contest today at work. I figured why not participate since I'm already trying to get healthier. Now my official weight comes from my home scale but it's interesting to see the difference between the one I use all the time and the one at work, it was 4lbs different today.
