my 8-week bft challenge: the beginning

hi! this is my first post on lemon8 and i wanted to use it to document my journey as i (try my very best) to conquer my 8 week challenge at bft 😮‍💨😆

it starts today (oct 2), and it ends in two months. some of my personal goals during this challenge (aligned with the goals bft set):

1. meal prep, cutting sugar

2. at least 7 hours of sleep

3. bft 4-5x a week

4. walk 10,000 steps daily

before the challenge starts, i am making four changes to my mindset because i really am my own biggest enemy… so i need to first conquer the war within myself before i can even imagine conquering this challenge heh…

my four mindset changes: 💭

1. understand that i have to start somewhere: i am most scared for the body scan because i haven’t seen my body composition ever. scared because i am not ready to see the numbers on the scale, fearful of how it’ll affect me. but there’s really no need to because i have to start somewhere, and i’m here now! and that’s what matters.

2. stop talking bad about my body: this is the hardest to me i think, because i keep picking on myself 😭 i really am my biggest hater but really i should be so thankful that it is healthy and i’m able to work out and move and breathe! learning to honour my body in this process ☺️

3. to be teachable: be open to learn more about macros, perfect my form, to listen to my trainers and to really give up what i thought i knew so i can really embrace and grow from this whole experience

4. the practice of commitment: i have issues with commitment, not just in relationships (jk), but really, committing to projects in my life. i always find myself giving up halfway, not even because i’m bad at it, just because i’m lazy or i lose motivation. i’m hoping this challenge will help me to be resilient and tenacious, to fight any bad thoughts and to push through the end hehe

okay thanks for reading! i hope to update this after every week ends, just to reflect on things i’ve learnt, changes in my body and lifestyle changes i’ve made. and maybe it’s just future me reading but i hope when i look back i’ll be proud of how far i’ve come ~
