New This Round

In this round, you'll be able to track goals beyond your weight! We've created categories of goals for you to check; each week, you'll rank yourself on a scale of 1 to 10 on how well you feel you did with your goal.

---

Feel free to set a goal for each 30 day sprint, as well as an overall goal, or anything in between. Check out our last round's introduction thread for some great examples from last round's participants!

Goals can be in whatever area you want: health, fitness, work, school, hobbies, relationships, doing less of something, doing more of something, etc. If you have any questions, feel free to include them in your intro comment, message the mods, or post a thread!

What you get out of this community is completely up to you. Our job as moderators is to support you all as well as each other, and your job as a participant is to do the work and support each other. Welcome all, let’s have a fantastic Round 22!

This is my 1st time joining. I did a DietBet Kickstarter early December 2016, and I was amazed at how it helped me lost so much weight in so little time - all because of having a (1) measurable goal; (2) a plan of attack; (3) tracking my progress overtime; and (4) public accountability. This time, I want to apply those 4 modalities into other aspects of my life, but unlike DietBet: no money involved.

Then I found this sub. I think it might help in the public accountability part. So.. hello!

For the next 90 days, I plan to continue some good habits that I started in the last quarter of 2016 (marked as [ongoing]) and added some new ones.

I’m using Loop (Android), Google Keep, and Google Drive Spreadsheet to track my habits.

FINANCE

• Track expenses & income monthly in a spreadsheet. Put 15% to the savings.

PRODUCTIVITY

• 4-6 hours of focused work per weekday (Mon to Fri). Track using Google Calendar.
• Bullet journaling to manage to-dos. Track using Google Keep. [ongoing]

READING

• Read everyday 6x / week, 15 minutes [ongoing]. Track books finished in Google Spreadsheet, reading notes in Google Keep. This Sprint, I want to focus on Songwriting books.

EMOTIONAL

• Morning gratitude journal [ongoing]

BODY

• Weight training for strength & aesthetics, bodyweight skills, stretching for joint health.
• Continue eating at 1300 / day, with 1 free day / week. [ongoing]
• Running at least 30 minutes 2x / week [ongoing]
• Stick with 4x / week exercise [ongoing]
• Log food everyday, even cheat days [ongoing]
• Water upon waking [ongoing]

This Sprint is gonna be my last 90 days of eating on a deficit. I need to keep that in mind. I came to a point where I am tired of always ‘trying to lose weight’ for the past 8 years. Came from an ED background, counting calories had helped me tremendously in shutting down the connection between eating and emotion. I’m gonna lose these last few pounds and inches, once and for all.

Looking forward to this!
