Mind --Finish Kamana Two The Path of the Naturalist, this will involve the practice of some core routines, sit spot, journaling, research, skills work.
Body-- Reduce Body Fat % to 7% I will do this by following Crossfit and their recommended eating styles (Zone Diet, Paleo Diet). I will return to train at SECT crossfit for a solid 3 months twice a week. I will read, take notes, discuss practice and perform within the Zone and Crossfit routines
Spirit-- Follow the challenges provided with reflections to better understand what spirituality is.
I took a new approach this time. Instead of coming up with big ideas and plans, I decided to just nail the goals down. I chose them on what I was denying and trying to avoid in terms of my mind saying "I may not be able to accomplish that". Most of my reflective thinking was trying to reason out using something like bodyfat as my indicator. I have experience that tells me when that comes down exercise, diet and mindset are in a better place. Likewise I kept thinking about how many of my mental goals would fit in well with the Kamana program but didn't want to pick that knowing I may not actually do it AGAIN. So I decided to quit reflecting and follow my gut a little. Don't get me wrong, I do have a general plan, for example in the Kamana Naturalist training plan I just have to follow along and do the exercises, journals etc. For body my plan is to continue with Crossfit and explore the Zone Diet. For Spirit, I don't have any plan.
Where I am:
Mind: I have started and paused K2 twice. I even paid for the student services and it expired. I've been mostly a failure at it. Its always so dark and cold when I have time to go out. I think I need to get to a couple group learnings to get myself motivated. I am thankful for the abundant friendly resources available to me.
Body: 158ish lbs and about 14% bodyfat. Update that I tested today and I'm actually 156.5 and 11.5% fat. I feel good about what I've done to get started but have a ways to go before June. I
am thankful for the abundant friendly resources available to me.
Spirit: I'm not sure how to measure this. I am thankful for the abundant friendly resources available to me.
I guess that is it, pretty plain. I'll write more as I do it. Best of luck to all in the new year!

You have a great plan, and I think you're right to follow your gut on these things. Maybe the Spirit aspect is guiding you, and that you will reap great rewards of spirit by listening to your inner voice as you have begun to do. Who knows?
Hey Spellbound,
Did you notice that I posted the January Mind portion on my blog?
I think that your challenge approach is great, because you are learning form your experiences. I know that there are things that I have attempted in the past and not completed, but if it really something I think I want, I always keep it in my mind for later. Sometimes maybe all the stars aren't in the right alignment or something for it to happen. But that doesn't mean it is a failure and that you can't take something from the experience, even if it was just an introduction. And just taking a new approach to go in with a different mindset is very cool.
And how's that guacamole going?
I'm looking for the inspiration to make it along with my chicken, eggs and vegetables. I think it is under the couch. I was hoping if I lay on this here couch, it will come out and then I can catch it!
Ok, it is made! I'm going to try it as a sandwich spread. Its actually quite yummy. I'm trying to decide if I should add red pepper to it? I think yes!
