The first week of putting in maximum effort into my 12-week fitness challenge ended well. Although a few of my plans were derailed, losing more than four pounds is nothing to scoff at.

Here we go, my eighth iteration of trying a 12-week fitness challenge. The last one kind of ended in epic fashion thanks to a myriad of extenuating circumstances. So, can I finish it this time around?

Well, the past couple of weeks were quite a failure. Between a lot of birthdays, dinners, family outings, and taking off this Friday to Utah, the last couple of weeks of my latest fitness challenge are just not going to happen.

So, it’s been seven weeks since I started this latest 12-week fitness challenge, and I’ve only lost 6.2 pounds in total. What’s funny is that 2.6 of it was in this past week. However, I’m committed to making week eight something a bit more than normal.

I’m always on the lookout to gamify fitness as much as possible. That’s because making it fun is what keeps me motivated. Today, I’m starting a new challenge to see which burns more calories, the Xbox Kinect or the Oculus Quest 2.

Here we are, halfway through my latest iteration of the 12-week fitness challenge and I haven’t really done much for fitness. In fact, I’ve only lost 3.6 pounds in total since I began this year. But that’s going to change.

This last week was anything but smooth sailing. I had the hardest time getting the motivation to do much, whether for fitness or for my writing career. But we all have those weeks when everything just seems to fall apart. The trick is to not let those things get us down.
