Self care is very important. So excited to bring this into my own life.
I'm thinking what will I add to my wheel? I'm going to first sit down and free write it out, then read it over, and see what it is I truly want as my priority.
Enjoy picking the healthy habit you'll focus on for the 8 weeks.1 -
great idea, this way it will truly be an individual challenge where we can grow1

@Ceriusly1 thank you. I couldn't open it on my phone, I don't know why, I should have been able to. Now, I'm on my laptop and it's working just fine.0

@Ceriusly1 thank you. I couldn't open it on my phone, I don't know why, I should have been able to. Now, I'm on my laptop and it's working just fine.
I think it's the app today. I ran into this also today.0 -
The healthy habit I need to focus on is getting on the Jiu Jitsu mats at least twice a week. When I'm in routine I'll easily do that and more but my routine hasn't been good for too long now and I'm in the habit of skipping training. I consider this to be a Keystone habit for me, when I get this right, the other healthy habits come easier. It's summer holidays here (but I work through them) so many of my normal commitments are on break, giving me plenty of time to focus on getting on the mats and building my fitness back up.1

The wheel is a good idea and I am going to incorporate my self care ideas to the wheel.1

This post has been edited to add the Healthy Habits by the Week! It's very important that everyone reads the entire post.2

What a great add on..thank you so much for the wheel and the added focus tool!!1
-
Thank you, Ceri!0

Am I deducing correctly from HH1 and HH2 that we are to choose TWO healthy habits to focus on?0
-
@NancyAnne52 The 8-week focus is optional, but you get points for your team if you do it. You choose one Healthy Habit to focus on daily for the entire 8 weeks of the challenge, preferably something you struggle with. That habit will not change, it is in addition to the two weekly habits that are requirements for all the teams.1
-
I think I'll switch my personal healthy habit to daily yoga (even 5 minutes counts). I do need to get on the mats regularly but that is hard to score daily and yoga helps me to not get injured when I'm training so I want to get back into the routine of doing a short session every day. 10 minutes daily with occasional long sessions are best but even 5 minutes is possible on busy days.1

Read. New to the challenges and looking forward to participating.1

My healthy habit is going to make sure I complete my food journal every day. I was doing well until Halloween and then it has been hit or miss. I find that helps me lose weight more than oh, I think I still have calories left to eat this snack.0

My healthy habit #1: Journaling
Healthy Habits #2 finish diary
When do we start posting points in the thread?0 -
@DrewsAnna The challenge starts on January 11. A welcome/practice week starts on January 4. A few days before that, you will be invited to join your team.
For clarification, the eight-week Focus habit you choose is in addition to the two weekly Healthy Habits listed in the challenge details. If I misunderstood your post, and you are choosing two habits for the 8-week focus, Kudos to you!
I'm happy you returned to the 5% Have a great challenge and if you need any help, reach out to a leader!0
