Challenge. Ready… Set.. GO

So, I figured out what the next challenge of mine will be!  After I finish this 10-day fast (concluding on Sunday 1.14.18) – my next challenge is gong to be a 99-day challenge.  The goal is to develop a habit of being active, even if only for mere moments everyday.  It is also so simple that it can be done anywhere and at any time.  

What is it?

Simply choosing one (or several) exercises and doing either 5 reps/sets, 5 seconds, or 5 minutes.  This can be a different exercise everyday or the same one(s) / combinations for the duration of the challenge.  I am going to be doing the same group of exercises each day so that I can see the progress over time.  I will be posting updated / photos from start to finish for my own accountability and to reflect back on.  I will probably do an ultimate time-lapse photo every 9 days as well. 

Why 9?

Well, 9 is my favorite number 🙂

I thought about a slightly variant of this challenge earlier – but it relies on the continual participation of multiple people to be effective, so I figured this is a good one to start with.  I am excited to jump start my road to recovery (I have been plagued with laziness & procrastination for the past 2.5 years).  I have so many goals that I am ready to step into and accomplish and I think this will assist in removing the final mental block.  ~Mai

Stepping into 31 flavors!

I am starting this blog simply and slowly.  I created this to be my own monitor of my growth as a mother, wife, friend, teacher, student, and human being.  I aim to learn, grow, share & hold myself accountable for where I am today and tomorrow – so I can smile upon my yesterdays.  Today is Day#6 of my 10-day fast & I am looking forward to where this journey leads me.  To all who are here reading this (especially you MaiMuna…) you are blessed beyond belief and I wish you good things in your path, discipline in your mind, and forgiveness in your heart.  ~Mai
