April 6, 2023: 100 Day Challenge check in
Those of you who are doing this challenge, how’s it going?
If you haven’t joined in, it’s not too late. Yours can be the 92 day challenge! Read on! If you are already in and want to share an update, please do!
************************************
The idea is this: from now until July 7 (6 days shy of Sam’s 18th birthday ❤️) do something daily that helps your mind, body, life, and/or spirit. (They used to think that 100 days was a milestone for graft vs. host disease — but each recovery follows its own path so putting a deadline of sorts can mess with expectations. So the “100 day rule” has been changed to focus on mind/body/spirit).
But I still like the number and also the connection to building habits that we want over time.
It doesn’t have to be elaborate — as our friend BJ Fogg talks about, tiny habits make great change.
Who’s in? You can write it down here or just make the commitment to yourself, but make it something you can do for 99 days in a row. I will check in on you every so often via this blog. Don’t feel bad if you miss a day — just do your best!
Shout out to my friend and fellow mom of a young adult HSCT recipient (December 22, 2022) and fellow badass, Lisa 👊🏼 for this idea.

Get up and walk down the aisle of the plane a few times! Do some stretches on the plane in the galley (but don’t bother the flight attendants!).
I have done that 6 out of 7 days but the day before I missed, I did 2 separate 10 minute sessions so I’m going to count it as 100%!
