This is where I will keep a log for all of my research for my 20 Day Challenge! My goal is to cook my suppertime meal, from scratch and keep it healthy and, I HOPE, tasty!
Let the games begin!
Day 1. Explain what your challenge is going to be for the next 20 days.
Everyone needs a starting point. What is your starting point? Your job is to create a video explaining what your challenge is, why you chose the challenge, how you are going to be successful with this challenge, what are you going to when you get frustrated with this challenge. Make sure you demonstrate your starting point.
Day 2. Find one person that is going to be your accountability person during your challenge? This person will check in with you daily to see how your challenge is going.
Everyone needs an accountability buddy! Who is going to keep you accountable or make sure that you are doing this challenge? Explain who this person is and answers the who, what, where, when, why. You choose what method of documentation for this answer.
Day 2: Whole Wheat Pasta with Chicken and Vegetables
Day 3. Instagram SHOUT OUT DAY!
What is your Instagram going to look like today? Capture an image or a 15 second video that tells the story of your challenge.
Day 4. You’re texting your best friend about your journey.
Replicate a texting conversation between you and your accountability buddy, about your journey so far. A minimum of 10 back and forth exchanges need to occur. There MUST be content with in the texts, not just "yeah, ok" This can be done through a screen capture or paper and pen drawing speech bubbles. Use your imagination or capture a real-life conversation.
Day 5. Re-evaluate.
Day 5 in! What are your thoughts? Create a blog post that highlights the ups and downs, so far, of this 20 day challenge!
Day 6. What are 5 positive things about your journey so far?
Capture 5 images that capture explains emotions of your journey thus far!
Day 7. Try something new with your challenge that you haven't done so far.
Capture a video of what you are doing that is new!
Day 8. Find a YouTube video, website, or blog of somebody that is practicing your challenge or has done a challenge similar to yours.
This is what it states! Make it happen and MAKE SURE you can reference it again!
Day 9. Pick one bad habit that you have about your challenge and ditch it!
It is your job to explain what is your bad habit when it comes to your challenge. Use a descriptive paragraph to answer this question. Use full description to capture your thoughts, feelings, and emotions regarding your challenge!
The one bad habit, that I have had with my challenge, is not being as prepared for the week. I am finding myself constantly having to go to Superstore to pick up stuff. I need to start making a list of the stuff I need instead of just going of the recipe on my phone. When I am at Superstore, I spend around an hour trying to find everything. MUST BE MORE PREPARED!
Day 10. Write the Pros and Cons of your journey
Make a T chart! Don't tell me you don't know what that is! Try to come up with 10 points and let's see where they land!
Pros:
More variety in my diet
Learning to cook independently
Better self-esteem because I am actually cooking and not just relying on what I already know (challenge)
Lunches are already made for the next day because of leftovers
Being more aware of the different foods that are out there and that not for you
Healthy eating can taste good
Cons:
Scheduling time to actually cook
Being in Superstore, shopping for ingredients, longer than I should be
Messing up and wasting ingredients
Some ingredients require me to spend a little extra $$$ (healthy eating can be expensive)
Day 11. Find another person in your life who you think you need to inspire today. Tell them about your journey and how are you going to inspire them to pursue their own challenge to better themselves
This is a "Tell Your Jouney" day. There is no recording! All you have to do is record the name of the person you spoke to and what did you challenge them with?
I had a Skype conversation with Cory, tonight, about the journey I have been on for the last 11 days. We talked about what I had done to change the way I was eating. He agreed that I definitely needed more of a variety in my diet because then your body gets dependent on it's own resources and will actually store all the food I eat because I am not getting enough of it. He has decided to challenge himself to cook 3 meals for himself, over the next week. He says that while he eats a pretty balanced diet, he would challenge himself to cook three things that he has never cooked before.
Day 12. Email or video a parent or guardian about your journey so far
Email or video a parent or guardian about the 20 day challenge. This must include a link to this website, and showing whatever documentation you have done so far with your challenge. This must be documented by having the parent respond to your email by having them in the video in someway. This is yet another way to show accountability.
Day 13. Wake up early and practice your challenge before coming to school
Good luck with this, but why not? IT'S ONE DAY!!! Have some sort of video or still image documentation of you working on your challenge, AND THE CLOCK! Screen capture if you need to!
Day 14. Do something that scares you about your challenge
This is a Saturday! You have ALLLLLLL day to complete this task! Video blog needs to happen!
Day 15. Don't complain about your challenge for the whole day
How are you taking negative thoughts and turning them into a positive? Share your thoughts and words but how you do it is up to you! (wordle, collage, etc.). This is a Sunday! You can complete your answers on Monday, but complete the task on Sunday!!!!
Day 16. You're texting your accountability partner about your journey to date. What does that conversation look like?
What does a conversation look like between you and your accountability buddy? How are you being supported? This could be screen captured or represented in a way you choose!
Day 17. Stop! What has been your true beliefs about this challenge, so far?
This is a choice between a blog post or a video blog. BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF!
Day 18. Two days left!! Tweet out your thoughts!
In 140 characters, what is going on?
Day 19. Has this challenge changed your self-confidence
Describe yourself in words! What have you learned about yourself? What would you tell your 20 day younger self about your journey? What was difficult? What was rewarding? Are you glad you chose this challenge? Would you do another challenge like this, again?
Day 20. Video your reflection of the last 20 days
