Evernote Staff gbarry 2,656 Posted March 15, 2012 Author Evernote Staff Share Posted March 15, 2012 I'll be mobile but probably lurking in the background. As for how well I did, a pretty rough sickness derailed me halfway through. I plan on reupping the challenge near the end of March and continue the habits I was building during the challenge. It doesn't stop there!Definitely killed the coffee habit though. I've had one drink of it across the entire challenge, whereas I was on a couple cups a day. I kind of miss the jitteriness. Which is apparently not a word. Link to comment
heather 604 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I did pretty good - I had to compromise a little bit though. Our exercise room turned out not to have a stair-stepper after all (plus it was always packed) and we don't have any stairs, so I had to get creative and I just tried walking up and down the ramp at low tide a few times extra, with lots of weight, and cut way back on the sugar by using sugar-free syrup in my coffee, keeping lots of fruit around all month, eating sugar-free yogurt for breakfast, and staying away from the sweets. I even got some sugar-free cookies in case I wanted some "dessert". Link to comment
Level 5* GrumpyMonkey 4,314 Posted March 17, 2012 Level 5* Share Posted March 17, 2012 i did pretty well. - more water, less coffee (mainly to get a place in the coffee shop).- no (?) sugar, except for one day. the problem, of course, is that everything processed seems to have sugar, so maybe i should say i reduced my sugar intake and began avoiding processed stuff whenever possible.- situps were no problems.- stairs were sort of difficult, because i had the same problem as heather. i think i will have to figure out an alternative to stairs.one thing i realized in the challenge is that i really lack aerobic exercise. i am not so interested in situps and stairs, but i see now that i do need to get my heart rate up (stairs and situps don't do this for me unless we are talking many hundreds of both, and i don't really have the time or the interest to do it that way). i was already planning to incorporate more bike riding into my weekly workouts, thanks to the nice weather, but i think i will add a mile of swimming each day as well.
