Periodically, I'll create random mental and physical challenges designed (or not designed?) to create change within myself.
This post is an attempt to catalog several challenges and some of the memories from each.
2020
I started doing some intermittent and even a couple longer fasts this year. I also tried the keto diet for a while.
My brother JP challenged me to a 100 squat per day challenge in September which snowballed into a few more months of random challenges with the goal being 100 reps of some exercise per day.
Each day, we'd text an iMessage thread with a timelapse video of us doing our exercise.
September: 100 squats/day
October: 100 push-ups/day
November: 100 sit-ups/day
