I’m Taking on the Hard Hat Challenge

Over at NerdFitness.com, Steve threw out a challenge that I thought was very doable: 

Take on one healthy activity every day for the next 30 days.

Anything is fair game: whether it be a victory over junk food or undertaking a new fitness challenge, or embarking on a course of self-improvement. Every day, just one thing. 

Of course, one thing isn’t asking too much in my book. So I hope to do at least 3, no matter how minor and insignificant it might seem! 

Yesterday, Sept 3:

  1. I went to strength training class even though my neck and shoulder felt like hell.
  2. I finished chapter 1 of Web Fundamentals at Codecademy.com.
  3. I did 5 sets of 10 push-ups (again, my neck and shoulder pain tried to keep me bed-ridden). 
  4. I filled out 3 reference surveys back-to-back for a friend looking for work.
  5. Got in my fish oil capsules!

Today, Sept 4:

  1. I got up a little early and made it into work at 10:30a (better than the last couple of weeks of getting in at 11:30 or noon).
  2. I went to cardio class and finished Kickboxing (my neck and shoulder weren’t as painful today).
  3. I did 10 sets of 10 pushups and 10 sets of 15 squats (bodyweight, but I was feeling the pinch).
  4. Talked to my new business partner, did some sketches on a new web project, laid out some ideas. 
  5. Got in my fish oil capsules!
  6. I stayed under 100g of carbs — woot!

 Hope to keep up with logging every day!
