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,
mel, the venture gal
