Liftoff

Maybe I should complete my own challenge? Starting from yesterday, 8 points. See if I can find it in me to exercise today.

8

 

Haven’t done the exercise yet and it’s not end of the day but I’m going to say I stuck to both my body & my brain diet so

Have to take back 2 points from yesterday, and I had a poor day today in terms of extracurriculars.

Been three days. I’ve done a terrible job of diet and running, but I’ve been journaling privately and encouraging publicly over the last three days so I’m adding 12.

30 points.

It’s a complicated challenge and that’s a problem. Recovery is so much more than a block of consecutive abstinence, but consecutive abstinence is easier to count so that’s what people usually do. I wish I could figure a simpler way because I experience the difficulty myself. How many points is dieting again? How fast do I have to accumulate before I crash? If anyone can think of a more elegant system, I’m open to suggestions.

That said, I’m 29 days, which means 2 points for the clean day. We did want to reward consecutive clean days, so that’s why your 30th clean day is worth more than your 5th. I was encouraging, or at least, I contributed to the forum. I’m about to journal, privately to my AP. I did some pushups but not 15 minutes worth, and ate sugar so I don’t get that one either. 4 points today, for a total of 44.

I think… 96? I’m not even sure about the day count, and I know I’ve had diet in there on some days but I can’t remember how many so I’m not counting it.

 

131. Did sugar denial or exercise each day, but not both.

It’s possible to beat the challenge like that, but you cant slip.

Running every day, but diet only one. Dad has some ice cream in the freezer he wants me to clear out because of his own diet, but I’m almost done & I’m not allowing any sugar beyond that, even though I’m not getting the points.

I’ve either done workout or diet on every day this week, two days at least I did both. I’m getting there.

 

265

I can’t remember which days I stuck to no sugar, so I didn’t count those extra 2 points for any of those days

 

It’s been 9 days, x 3 for my streak is 27
I always journal, add another 9 for 36
Encouraged only 5 days; 41
Diet always sabotaged; 0
Ran 8 of those days, though; 57

I’m at 322. Exosphere.
