The goal of it to established healthy / positive habits and limit bad habits.
Start Date: Monday 28th March
End Date: Sunday 26th June
Overall habits are going to be;
My daily goals are going to be;
I'm going to use the "Time Blocking" concept on Google Calendar so that I can ensure each day I get what I need to done, without me looking at the clock and realising its 11pm and I'll just "do it tomorrow".
Thought it could be fun to update this thread on a daily basis of the Things we were proud of completing and the things that we messed up on and hold each other accountable + keep each other motivated.
I'm certain after even a couple of weeks there will be lots of massively positive changes. If you think about it, just by reducing bad habits you will be in a massively better situation within a few weeks, but by doing positive habits too, then you will be exponentially better off.
Anyway, I'm paranoid this is turning into a deardiary type thread, so I'll wind things up.
edit: I'm aware it looks like I'm planning on doing 100 things, but I have a super high energy dog (German shorthaired pointer) so regularly do 15K steps daily anyway. And Reading 10 pages of a book whilst chugging some water is done too and I usually track MyfitnessPal 1 week in advance, so that's a once a week type thing and I just have to stick to my meal prep.

Overall habits are going to be;
- Stick to Business KPI'S (E.g. Track what I can measure and make sure I'm hitting my Business Goals each week)
- Get shredded again (To cut down to ~150lbs and then do a very lean bulk barely of maintenance to avoid fat gain up to around 160lbs and maintain) - This will involve training abs, which I literally never train and they're super weak.
- Drinking (I have a bottle of wine or so with my wife and as soon as we start that I basically switch off from work and don't work when I should/could) Not to mention I've come to the realisation that drinking has absolutely zero perks, but tons of cons (Expensive, empty calories, works against my fitness goals)
- Smoking green (not sure if I can write that on here? Feel free to remove if it's a problem) - but habit. Used to think it was somewhat sustainable and I can still work whilst high or whatever, but the reality of it is much like drinking, it's expensive, makes everything harder/more effort, works against fitness/health goals etc).
- Video Games. Got into the habit playing with friends on a daily basis at 5pm through lockdown when we couldn't see each other and it's massively about the social element rather than the actual game (e.g. I don't play alone, only with friends). But I don't need to play for 2-3 hours everyday with them lol. Big time/energy waste and I think it gives you weird dopamine hits too, which make your brain want to only doing the most satisifying thing for the least amount of effort). I don't want to give up video games completely, but I think I'll use it as a reward system.
- Wreckless Spending - I want to get back into the habit of tracking my budget/spending and sticking to a budget. At the moment my wife and I just pretty much do whatever we want each day. Eat out at a lot of restaurants, go to bars etc. I'm going to aim to 'save/invest' 90% of my pay cheque each month and keep everything else until I move house under the 10%.
My daily goals are going to be;
- Drink at least 4L of Water
- Track calories on MyFitnessPal daily and stick to macros. (35% Protein, 35% Carbs 30% Fat for those wondering) will play this by ear and reduce slowly to ensure I'm losing around 1.5lbs / week.
- 15,000 Steps
- Read at least 10 pages
- Do at least 3 'Things' for work (Scheduling content / shooting videos / live streams)
- Weight train 4 days per week at the gym (Might do extra workouts at home as I have equipment, but wanted to set a slightly easier goal than 5 days a week because I've probably been to the gym less than 10 times this year :/ )
- 1 form of Cardio that makes me break sweat per week (Bike ride or Run) Tracked on Strava.
- Stick to work KPI's
- Update Finance Spreadsheet of Monthly Budget with Transactions.
- Update Diet Spreadsheet (I track my steps, calories, macro breakdowns, weight). As anal as it is about tracking - when I've done this, I've always hit my fitness goals SUPER quickly. If you don't measure things, you can't improve things.
