July Life Experiment Debrief & August Ventures

Today starts a new month & with that, a new life experiment. Early in July I wrote about Ventures in Life, mentioning my experimental approach to life. July’s life experiment was Just Write…write & publish every day, as well as a crossfit & recipe goal.

July’s results:

  • I wrote & published every day. Even when without internet access, I found a way & published from my phone. I love writing & enjoy the act of writing regularly.
  • Writing became a habit. Though I do not think it takes 21 days to form a habit, making a practice of doing something everyday for an entire month really engrained it as a habitual practice.
  • I also did crossfit at least 2-3 times each week, bringing me to a total of 25 crossfit workouts since starting.
  • Recipes I did create!  I do still need to get better at documenting them though…

August Life Experiments

Ask & Answer Questions. Every day I will ask myself (& you, if you want to partake) a “daily thought question” & will answer the question, publishing my answer on my blog. In doing this, I will also continue with my writing every day resolution.

Awesome Abs August. 3 times a week I will do 300 core strengthening moves:

  • 30 crunches
  • 20 bicycle crunches
  • 30 toe touches
  • 20 reverse crunches
  • 15 side plank hip lifts (right)
  • 30 crunches
  • 15 side plank hip lifts (left)
  • 40 Russian twists
  • 30 bicycle crunches
  • 15 oblique crunches (right)
  • 20 reverse crunches
  • 15 oblique cruches (left)
  • 10 leg lifts

And because I’m addicted to crossfit I will keep that up as well!

Actually write down recipes.  When I create a recipe from scratch, write down proportions & ingredients so I can share them with others.

Here’s to a great August!

venture on,
