As a way to encourage myself to finish off the last of the challenge I am currently working on, I am putting a poll for what I should do next. These are the four challenges I currently have purchased. Let me know which one you think I should do next.

Ok so there has been questions about how I am counting my steps, since I briefly mentioned it in my latest update on our excursive plan.

So... I am trying a new thing where we will use a ranked system instead of a set goal every single day. Goals like that just don't work for us because of really bad "all or nothing" thinking and just how often we switch. Step will still be counted as normal (due to our fitbit) and I will post the approximate on how many steps we did each day. However, no day will be "better" than another, so we will not be wording is based on a yes/no off if we hit our goal, but simply what category our step total fell in. Everything, including our health, mental health, energy, how well we're sleeping, the weather, our workload, chores that need done, and so on will impact what category we shoot for every day. I will do my best to provide that context when I post. Here are our categories: 18,000+ 15,000+ 12,000+ 9,000+ 7,000+ 4,000+ 0+

I have decided that for now we will do home workouts (we have some weights and stuff, and of course access to outside which is very underrated). Once we get back in the swing of things and it starts to be lighter later, I will pay for a gym membership again. We like going to gym, but it's been hard with it being dark by the time we get home. Any of the lifts in the plan can be exchanged for the same movement (push/pull and muscle group combo). So with the first day of the week being Monday: 1. Upper Body

Shoulder Press One Arm Rows Push Ups Lateral Raises Curls 2. Lower Body Goblet Squats RDL Glute Bridges Reverse Lunges Wall Sit

3. Rest/Mobility Any combo of nothing, stretching, walking, breathing work, gentle yoga, etc 4. Upper Body DB Floor Press Band Rows Plank Hammer Curls Tricep Extensions

5. Lower Body and Movement

Bodyweight Squats Bridge March Sumo Squat March in Place Walking/Stairclimbing/Etc

6. Wild Card Any workout thing. Could be any of the days, or whatever.

7. Rest Day

There are a couple other things included. We will still aim for our steps goal (7000 steps). It isn't a lot, but we work a desk job, so it isn't easy to hit. We will also try to walk/bike to more places in general. I also have a plan of how I can get more steps in while I'm at work too. We generally do not take our lunch breaks where I work, but it is not strictly frowned upon to take them, so I will take more time at lunch and walk. To update our progress on steps I will be doing two types of posts. I will post the updates to whatever our current conquerers challenge is, as well as a rating on our step count for the day (9,000+,7000+,5000+,-5000). I will include info how I normally do, like what impacted our results and stuff. Also, there are a few things we want to do to just increase our movement throughout the day, such as doing a few reps of bodyweight stuff when presented with the chance, stretches, working at our desk standing, and doing things to increase our neat.

I'm thinking maybe I could buy one of those stands for your bike that turns it into a stationary.

Might motivate others to workout more anyways, if it is right there and we can do it while watching TV or something.

I need to renew the gym membership.

Other than that, more cardio because we haven't been, but honestly as long as I can get the others to go, I don't really care what we do.

Cardio today.
