Hi comrades and welcome to the third improvement megathread of March!
We are in the middle of March and there are exactly 2 more full weeks until the end of the month. This is a good time to review your progress so far and set goals or priorities for the rest of the month.
As usual, some discussion ideas:
- Do you want to share something you've done in the previous week? Everything counts, nothing is too small.
- What would you like to do next week?
- Which aspect are you currently focused on improving?
- Do you have any streaks? For example, "sober for one day." Feel free to post your streak every day in this thread.
- If you don't have a continuous streak, did you manage to abstain from something for a day or more?
- Did you come across some useful information or resource that might help others?
Good luck with your goals!
Last week my workout streak broke at around 13-14 days. Been back on it since though, so that's progress compared to what happened in the past.
Been running just about every other day. So far mostly just short 2-4 mile runs. I'm trying to find the right pace for myself as I build my stamina back up from where its been the past few years. I'm floating between 11-12 minutes/mile. If I can keep it up I'll probably do more miles and mix in some interval running as well.
I'm hoping to lose some weight, but so far I haven't made enough changes in my diet to really see much change. I still feel real good right now though, I have way more full of energy compared to even a month ago.
My pro tip is try to find lower calorie versions of the stuff you already eat. There are plenty of low cal options of every food now. I found some great low calorie bread and cereals. It was a really easy way to reduce 300kcal every day.
