The third week for the Dreemport challenge has ended today, and now it's the time to submit the report. I performed pretty well in the first two weeks. I was enthusiastic about performing well in the third week too, but life do not always go as per our plans and only time reveals what it holds for us.
When I woke up at Monday morning this week, I had stiffness in my neck. The pain made my hand numb and holding my mobile became difficult for me. I was trying to type one letter while my finger fell on another. So my plans to be more active on Hive started failing since the beginning of the week.
Another thing I faced this week was drowsiness. I don't know exactly what happened to me, my head was dizzying badly and body was like working very slowly. I slept at odd times (something I don't really like) but if I didn't sleep I would have fallen somewhere. Perhaps, it was due to the medicine I have been taking for skin allergy. I am not sure. I have been taking this medicine for about a month, it didn't cause me drowsiness to this extent. Whatever was the reason, this was the way my week started- with stiffness in the neck and drowsiness in the head.
Stiffness persisted till Tuesday, left me for Wednesday and came back on Thursday again. It's Friday, the stiffness is with me. Besides, I had some additional chores this week that affected my online activities. I couldn't engage on other posts as much as I had decided and could publish only two posts (This is the 3rd one).
As I stated in my earlier dreemport challenge posts that I have started learning new vocabulary, I could work on this goal only for a couple of days.
Keeping in mind all these failures I was thinking that it was the worst week for me with regard to the challenge, but…………….
When I filled up the chart for the challenge, it got more green marks than the red. I was surprised 😲, but then I realized the tasks I didn't perform well in the past days are not directly the part of my dreemport challenge's goal.
Let's have look at the chart and the details 👇. Then let me decide if my performance was poor or not
📌 Drinking water hasn't been a problem since the beginning of the challenge. This week the requirement was exceeded to 40 oz. I already drink more than that, so I did it all the 5 days.
📌This week the time for physical activity was exceeded to 25 minutes. I did one workout in the first week that needed about 20 minutes. It the 2nd week I added another work out to it that increased the time of my workout to 30 to 35 minutes. It means I have already been doing a physical activity of more than 25 minutes. Despite having the stiffness in my neck I performed the work out four days. I couldn't do it to today.
📌10 minutes quiet time. I couldn't stick to a routine for this.
📌The 20 minutes goal is the task I am not really sure if I did it for 20 minutes or not. The task is to tell stories to my kids and have discussion about them. I told them a story all the five days without noticing how much time I spent on it.
📌This week there was an addition of another personal goal. I think I did it too.
📌I also tried to play the role of encourager and encouraged at least one dreemer all the five days. Here I would also lie to mention the name of two encouragers: @brightdavid with his words of motivation tried to boost my energy, and @tengolotodo whose comments made me smile and let me feel lighter.
📌As I mentioned above, I have another task for 15 minutes that is to learn new vocabulary. I could perform it only a couple of days. The chart given doesn't contain a box for the second task. That's why I haven't marked a red for it, and so, I haven't given me a gold star for any day.
Overall, it was a tough week, and the toughness of the time hasn't passed yet. It's midnight already and I am sitting here typing the text with one hand and holding the bottle of vics vapurab in front of Hunain's nose with the other hand. He has asthma attack again and has got fever too along with vomiting.
I am struggling to keep my eyes open, as I have taken the medicine for allergy and muscular pain. If you are reading this post, I am happy to be able to publish and submit it on time.
That's all for the week's report. Thanks for reading.
