The first 31 days of our only 2020 ever are done! What are you the most proud of?
Whether you colored your whole chart or none of it, you’re still in the challenge, and February even has a bonus day in it this year to help you out.
My January Challenge (What I Did)
I didn’t set any specific goals for myself for this month of the challenge other than to hit my mark of doing something every day for (at least) 10 minutes. (I post my updates almost daily on Instagram here and you don’t need an account to view them.)
I ended up tracking:
- cardio
- strength workouts (especially abs)
- cleaning and organizing my kitchen and workout clothes
- time spent outside having fun
- planning
- getting help, like from my fab chiropractor
- meal prep
- cooking new dishes
- trying a new hobby
I was surprised by wanting to track things other than my workouts – I worked out at least 20 of these 31 days, but I tried to track something more interesting than that for the sake of Instagram, and to push myself to do something that felt like a stretch for me.
(Speaking of that, I also didn’t track any stretching other than what gets done at the chiropractor – not good for my goals!)
I was happy that I completed the challenge for the month by having something every day that moved me closer to the life I’ve designed and/or helped me appreciate the life I have even more.
I was grateful that I slowed down to grab all these things and record them, because we never remember things very well without some kind of record. If you asked me if I ever got outside for fun in January I’d say maybe once or twice, when really it was at least 3 times each week! Same for ab workouts – I feel like I never spend enough time on my core, but really I recorded it at least four times for the challenge, which means I worked my abs at least twice a week, and that’s enough for right now!
In February, I hope to improve my challenge participation by planning a few activities for each week that will help me get to my goals faster instead of just living completely freeform. Some of those things include:
- more time planning (especially meal planning so that I can prep more veggies and powerful flavors ahead of time)
- drinking w a t e r (seriously the hardest thing in the world for me??? send help)
- more cardio (another hour or two each week, and mixing up my formats…maybe r u n n i ng)
- more TRX (I’m finally able to do everything I love again!)
