Here's my Friday update:
I have not stuck to my food/alcohol plan at all. I am not managing stress very well lately and I'm struggling to get my head back into the gain.
I'm giving myself 1 point for sticking with my running, but no points for the other two goals.
I'm going to stay with the same three goals again this week (one of these days I'll actually accomplish them):
- Limit alcohol to Friday night through Saturday night, with exceptions for going out to events or get-togethers
- Cut out snacking on the couch while watching TV (no-calorie drinks are allowed)
- Run Sunday-Friday, rainy days excepted

Here is my weekly update.
Last Weeks goals
- Take a walk of at least 1000 steps (weather permitting)
- restart my PT stretches for my neck and hip
- limit my YouTube time to 1 hour per day
- Track 5 out of 7 days
I will give myself 2 points for this week, as I walked 6 out of 7 days, and tracked 5 out of 7 days. Still got to work on the YouTube time and stretching I will add in restarting a TaiChi practice at least 3 times this week and see how that goes. Walking may be tough because of the heat wave expected this week. I will attempt to get out in the early morning in order to avoid the heat!

(1) Stretching every day;
(2) No eating after 8 pm; and
(3) Snack calories <250 kcal/day
Week 3 report: I scored 10 of a possible 21 points, so … yeah, pretty unfocused. It's a well-worn pattern: I start just about every day really well, but then go off the charts in the late evening.

Hi guys! I'm giving myself one point this week for getting in bed by midnight with no screens if I wake up. I couldn't tell you what I ate or when.
I'm keeping the same three goals for this three-week period:
- Track food every day
- In bed by midnight two nights per week. No screen time if I wake up
- 30 minutes of exercise two days
I still have faith that declaring my (our) goals out loud will pay off by the end of summer.
Wishing everyone a week of staying focused!

Dudes . . . let's not abandon this challenge.
I only earned one point for the week (getting in bed before midnight, no screens), but the awareness of the challenge still helped me make smart choices. I'm down 1.8 pounds and definitely feel some of that loss is deserved.
I've been struggling because of a friend's difficult cancer diagnosis. I realized I've got to be better at self care, and I took some meaningful steps this week with that in mind.
Wishing everyone a week of being deliberate and focused on the things most important to you right now.

I can pretty much stick to exactly what I said last week, so I'm cutting and pasting:

I got in in 5 days of at least 7000 steps, got 80 grams of protein at least 5 days and have failed to make it to bed by midnight most nights. Is anyone still following this challenge?

We're starting the third 3-week period. I'm going to try to get back into this …
I've been pretty well checked out of the challenge (and most other forms of accountability) for the past few weeks. I award myself an "F-" for the second of the 3-week cycles.
For the 3rd cycle, I'll keep my goals the same. They're perfectly lovely goals. I just suck at doing them, lol.
- Stretching every day;
- A strength workout at least 3 days per week;
- No eating after 8 pm.

Hey guys, I'm still here but haven't been able to check in lately.
I am consistently scoring 1 out of 3 points each week, and it continues to be a point for getting in bed by midnight with no screens even if I wake up.
I'm planning to stick with the challenge until the end. Even though I've yet to earn three points, I'm at least aware each week that I'm SUPPOSED TO BE TRYING. That's enough for now. My weight is steady, so things could be worse.

I made 2 of 3 goals-7000 steps 5 days a week and 80 grams protein 5 days a week. In bed by 12 midnight was a failure.
