October challenge — 2024

It’s a new month and I want to set a challenge for myself. There are five things I want to challenge myself to do daily. These are things I have been doing since October 1st and I hope to continue all month.

  • Workout everyday — whether it’s a strength workout, or a 10 minute walk
  • Cut out sodas
  • Limit junk food
  • Eat more fruits and veggies
  • Journal

I have let myself get unfit. I used to workout every day and have an okay diet. I didn’t really drink soda or eat many snacks, but for the last year others have been stocking the house with both of those things. Since it’s been there, I’ve been eating and drinking it.

I do have the goal to lose a little of my body fat, but the main goal is for me to feel better. I have felt so crappy lately. I know it’s because of the things I’m consuming and the lack of me working out. I’ll check in at the end of the 30 days to give an update. I want to make these a habit. I don’t expect to feel completely different in 30 days, but I hope there’s at least a little change.

Wish me luck.

February Goals

I complied a list of goals for this month!

Post 2 YT videos

I have started posting YouTube videos again. Last December, I did about 18 days of vlogmas before I got burnt out, but I do want to start post videos at least twice a month. I want to eventually post once a week.

Post on blog 4 times

I have been so bad about posting on here, but I have this month more prepared. I’ve been using a planner a lot more here lately and have already planned out several blog posts.

Read 2 books

I’ve started reading again this year. I used to read all the time, but when I went to college, I hardly ever read for pleasure. My goal this year is to read 22 books, but I expect I’ll read more than that.

Be more active on Instagram

I have a fitness instagram, and I really want to be more active on that account. This past weekend, I have been researching what I could do with my account. I will be posting a progress picture at some point. I also might post about food as well. If you have any suggestions, please do comment them.

Try new recipes

I have a couple new drink recipes I want to try, and I’m sure there’s some new food recipes as well.

Do my daily to dos

When making my new year resolutions, I made a list of daily to dos to help me accomplish my goals. My daily list consists of: write 50 words, read bible, read 10 minutes of book, meditate 5 minutes, watch TJ daily vlog, inspirational quote, and affirmation.

Wake up and don’t hit snooze

I usually have four or five alarms set and still hit snooze once more. I have now made myself only have two alarms. Today on February 1, I did actually get up earlier than I have been here lately. I hope to eventually get up after the first alarm goes off.

Ab challenge

This month I am going to do an ab challenge. I will take a picture of my stomach in the beginning and the end of this month so I can compare. I will do sit ups, crunches, leg raises and planks daily.

Finish Criminal Minds

I am almost done with this series! I am so excited, but also sad that I am almost to the end. They will still have episodes coming out, but it won’t be the same as watching as many new episodes as I want.

Finish The Seven Deadly Sins

This is an anime that I started in January. I could have already finished it, but I just don’t want it to end! It is so good. I love all the seven deadly sins and their friends. After I finish Criminal Minds, I am going to finish this series.
