As for me, I didn't intend to post in such threads during the period of a challenge at all as I thought writing here would prevent me from being concentrated on my goals. That's just how I feel.
So, my report.
1)Do exercises for my back every other day (this habit was to be established from April till June).
Done! This is the most important goal for me, I'm glad I managed to stick to it. And I'm glad that now I feel normal about these exercises (first 6 weeks it drove me on the walls!), I'm even close to derivivng pleasure from them. And, of course, my back muscles got much stronger - in the beginnig I could sit without backache for 25 minutes, now I felt well during 1,5 weeks every day sitting for 8 hours! Now I feel more certain that I will continue with the exercises till October (a training plan prescribed by the doctor).
2)Don't eat for 4 hours before going to bed (for losing weight).
I think it's done since I sticked to this habit for 22 days. I started on the 1st, gave up, started again on the 3rd and consciously ended all this rubbish on the 25th. I lost only 1 kg and it wasn't worth 22 days of bad mood. However, I don't regret taking up the challenge as I just wanted to try this method to lose weight.
3)Wake up at 8 every morning.
That's where I failed! I gave up on the fourth day. Well...let it be so.
(At least my consolation would be that I did all the 5 habits in April
). And I don't want to establish this habit any more.
So, all in all, my April and May challenges were worth trying. I wanted them to help me overcome my apathy/detachment I've been in for past 5-6 years. I wanted to feel the reality sharply again as it was when I was 15-18 and when I was all that self-disciplined, setting and achieving goals. Though I'm not going to take up challenges any more (just realized it isn't what I want - working on habits every day during 30 days), I've definitely become less apathetic and more interested in life and I already have some plans in my head!
Also, this May challenge seemed more cheerful and enthusiastic in comparison with the April one as much more people had joined it and discussed it every week. Good luck to all of you in June challenge if you want to do it!!!
