It's happened...I've failed my first challenge of the project. I haven't done my 50 sit-ups for the last 3 days...
Maybe it was inevitable, but I like to think all of the challenges are realistic. This challenge was realistic, I just forgot! I know, how can you forget your challenge?!
Weirdly I've just been reading about enjoying failure in the "Happiness Project" book - I'm not sure I agree with everything Gretchen Rubin says on the topic, but I do think failure is something we have to accept, but I won't let it defeat me!
I am starting this challenge again! I will let you know how I get on!
Day 2 of Challenge #3, so far so good, I've done 50 sit-ups a day. The thing is I'm not exactly sure I'm doing them right...I also don’t thing I should be doing the 50 sit-ups in one particular way?
I'm currently doing the sit-ups in bed, which seems to make them both harder and maybe easier at the same time!
Anyway, I really want to make sure that this Challenge, apart from having the gratification of being able to complete it, will also have an affect (should that be effect? I always confuse the two!) on my stomach…even if it is just a little!
Time to do some research into this! I will report back on my findings - I will also look into the grammar of effect and affect, seems rather important in this project!
I am ready for a new Challenge!
Challenge #3 - 50 sit-ups every day!
The idea behind this challenge is to simply keep doing little things that are easy to achieve. This time I wanted to do something for my body.
Initially, I was going to do "30 minutes of cardio a day" as my challenge, but soon realised that it didn't comply with my basic rule - one little change, one little thing - 30 minutes of cardio isn't a little task.
Although putting half an hour aside every day would be ideal, at the moment it simply isn't realistic.
50 sit-ups a day, should be an achievable challenge, whilst still...well...challenging!
Wish me luck!
