For May, we had decided to be serious about fitness for one month (wrote about it here). In brief, we would work out, get outdoors for some physical activities, and juice one meal. While we didn't fail at these goals, the project didn't succeed completely. By the end of the month, we had given up on some aspects of it.
We worked out, juiced, and hiked as planned, but not consistently. Sickness befell us after two weeks, some kind of cold. Juicing became too expensive for our budget that we decided to exclude it for the rest of the month. And by the end of the month, the busyness and stress from other daily obligations made me decide to quit the workouts (she continued to the end). Those were the challenges.
On the plus side: we continue to work out regularly (more her than me), have seen an uptick in fitness, shall continue juicing on a smaller scale, and plan to get outdoors as much as possible. In fact, I used this month to jump-start the summer habit I call "Saturday Mornings Outdoors" (mostly hiking area trails around the city and beyond or doing the incline).
The takeaway is that these activities can be part of our lifestyle if we want them to. And we plan to incorporate them as much as possible.
