Here is where we can gather together in one space to do our own personal monthly challenge.
My April challenge to myself is-
to lose at least 1 kg,
to do 2 walks outside every day & do a minimum of 5000 steps every day,
follow 5:2 every week (500 cals 2 days a week & < my TDEE the other 5)
This has been replaced by
eat mindfully & healthily &
to do 20 squats, 3 times a week &
ring a family member or friend every single day.
Edited "diet" & squats :blush5:

My personal physical self-care challenge for April:
  • To get to the second "reward" point on my weight loss chart (I haven't thought up the reward yet!)
  • To do at least one set of tai chi every day.
  • To work on balance and core strengthening every day.
  • As soon as I'm out of isolation, to walk every day, and report in my diary on something seen.
  • To have only two "goes" of starchy carbs a day.
  • To be in bed with lights out by eleven every night - preferably earlier, but I don't want to set unachievable goals.
 
I am in:
  • Eat well everyday, target 1,200 to 1,300 calories a day.
  • Keep close track of my food, as I have been doing.
  • No bingeing.
  • Regular exercise. Walking, biking, any good exercise will do.
  • Make significant progress towards the 30 BMI mark. For me that's 191 lbs, 15 lbs below where I am now. I doubt I can do all that in April, but it would sure be nice to see it for my 1 year anniversary on May 15. Even getting close would make me happy.
Ok, this is a break from my rule so far of no longer term goals, hope it isn't bad luck.

Thanks for starting this Cate!

As I mainly post from my phone I am sorry I can’t give the detail as I be here all day and my eyes are not up for it lol .
Yesterday I did my walk , stuck to my plan . I didn’t do 5 rounds of the garden and I did stress . Room to improve I think .

April 4, I think I am ok. My calorie total was 1,333, the highest I have had in a long time, but not bad, though 33 over my goal. Otherwise I am fine.
 
Doing well with the walking . And not too bad with the plan . A little over eating yesterday. Noting too major . Also doing the squats !!!
Well done all
 
Amended my April 2020 goals to read "eat mindfully & healthily" instead of 5:2.
Did well with the walking, squats, phone call, eating healthy.
Well done everyone :)
 
April 6 and I am on track. I exercised but did not get a walk in. The waterline work continued up to about 7:30 pm, it was getting dark and I was too tired to do a walk.
 
Still walking and loving it . No inroads though on losing that 4lb , a little dip yesterday but was gone again today . I will get there
 
I see I missed posting yesterday, but am on track! Squats and all.
