I’m in. I want to continue my Todoist (3 tasks/weekday) and Duolingo streaks (without using streak saver).
I need to make a sticker chart. I will. 28 days of consistent PT, as in actually doing at least most of the exercises everyday
I’m so glad to meet so many fellow grumpy PT-doers.
I’m so glad you explained that! I had no idea that forest was an app or something and was imagining actual trees. It’s much more efficient to plant a bunch at once than to plant one every day. In an actual forest, anyway.
In bed by 10 buddies!
Yes!!!
I kind of want to say “get some sort of physical activity every day.” I know I likely won’t manage this, but as someone said here on another thread, if I have the goal of “do it every day,” I do end up exercising more days than I would if I didn’t have the goal. If that makes sense.
I mean, if “activity” includes doing some squats and maybe a plank, I think I can manage it.
Today I walked to the post office and back, for a total of about 1 hour of brisk walking. In the cold. And snow. (UPHILL BOTH WAYS, no not really, haha.)
Kicking off day 1 by taking photos of an item for Marketplace and mass deleting 2,000 promotional emails
I’m in! Here are my goals:
Stretch 5 minutes each day
Read 15 minutes each day
Maintain current 3x per week workout regimen (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday)
My February goals are:
- Duolingo every day
- Eat a fruit or veggie with every meal
- PM skincare routine
I’d love to do Yoga with Adriene every day, but I end up doing it after the kids go to bed a lot of the time, and then it just feels like a chore when I’d rather be reading in bed
My daily goal will be to do at least 5 minutes if stretching and 10 minutes of movement every day. Keeping it simple this month!
All right, day 1 accomplished, although I’m going to add a caveat that things that need to be soaked overnight can be washed the next day.
My goal is making it past my mailbox every day of the week (or past my property line if I go through my back yard to go into the woods). I hibernated too hard in January and it wasn’t good for me.
I started it off yesterday by making it to the far end of the park.
Well, I failed on Day 1. I’d like to say I forgot, but I remembered at inconvenient times and did not stop what I was doing (work) to exercise right then as I clearly should have. But I’m back on the wagon with push-ups first thing this morning.
I cheated yesterday by doing my bedtime routine way before bedtime at 9. Or did I? It was intentional that I did not say I’d work on bedtime itself…
Inspiration (exercise is used as an example, but it’s really about habit formation) : https://ideas.ted.com/heres-how-i-finally-got-myself-to-start-exercising/
I forced myself to do Pomsquad class despite sleeping terribly and being exhausted. I made it through OK other than, she did a whole bunch of new choreographies that my poor brain absolutely could not ingest. I kept moving and waving my arms around though!
Yesterday was a messed up day (called in to get the baby from daycare early), so I didn’t make my PT sets, but did one of the exercises that I could remember quickly before bed.
Today was better—made my three sets and did set one, which had only exercises I could remember without looking up how to do them. Tomorrow I need to look up how to do a couple and then do set two.
New Habits Goals
-
15 minutes on the exercise bike first thing in the morning 6 days a week (I’d love to do 7 days, but I know giving myself a skip day in advance will help me.)
-
3-4 45 minute workouts each week. This can be cardio or weights, I just want to make sure I’m doing something to stay active during the cold, dark winter days.
