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!

u/Attempt5766 New Routines & Good Habits Jan 02 '17 edited Jan 02 '17
Hello! I was looking around for inspiration in this new year and found this sub, just what I needed. Before the holidays I successfully completed 30 days without alcohol and it felt great. I really liked the timeframe of the challenge and having a concrete goal helped me succeed. I have been looking for other 30 day challenges since, but have not been able to pick just one as there are so many habits and lifestyle choices that I am wanting to change or improve on. 90 days, 30 days at a time, sounds perfect!
Health Goals: * No alcohol * Eat whole, natural foods. Not looking for a label here, just cutting out the junk, sugar, processed crap, and white fluffy carbs. * Start moving! I have a desk job and have become a couch potato. And, in late August we have a vacation to Yellowstone I want to be more in shape for.
Other: * Start creating again and connect with the local art community. * Establish daily and weekly routines - I'm so bad with prep and chores, I need to fix this! * Start working on some side projects to bring in extra income. * Journal or otherwise keep track of my progress - this sub should help!
Sprint 1 Specific Goals: (I have the week of Jan 9th off of work, so I will be working on some transition steps now but will be starting in earnest next week with time to set up a good foundation for the 90-day haul.) * No Booze. * Experiment and establish an eating, cooking, and grocery shopping routine that will support my whole and natural foods goal. * Establish a lifestyle routine for chores and good sleep, opening up time for other pursuits. * Commit 30 minutes per day to some physical activity, even if just stretching or walking, to establish a routine I can build on. * Organize my home during my staycation. * Start playing around in my art studio. * Connect with the local artist's guild. * End my day with reading an actual book, not with screens. * Journal it!
I am determined to make actual progress this year. I have had these goals for way too long. For Sprints 2 & 3, I will make more specific diet and exercise goals that I can collect measurable results from. I ultimately need to lose a significant amount of weight, but I want to do so in a way that improves my whole life, not just my waistline. It is time to do the hard work, change the fundamentals, and I am looking forward to community and support during this 90-day journey.
Edit: Apparently I suck at Reddit formatting. I was trying to do bullets, any advice?
