I’ll be doing a slightly-silly personal challenge that I made up: walk 7,777,777 steps, write 777,777 words, do 77,777 jumping jacks, 7,777 press-ups, eat 777 different types of fruit, achieve target weight of 77kg, and run 7 10K races.

- sAbakumoff 9y agoThat'e excellent resolution because it has specific and measurable goals. Everything that says like "eat less junk food" is going to be ignored 1 week later. I like 777 types of fruit, gonna steal this one :-)
- ChristianGeek 9y agoAre there 777 types of fruit (at least edible ones you have access to)?
- jl6 9y agoI think yes, if you choose your definition of fruit. I chose it to mean any amount of any part of the fruit, in the botanical sense.

- pavelromashkin 9y agoBut there is only one chmod
- zapperdapper 9y agoHeheh good one. I thought my plan to walk at least 10,000 steps a day for 365 days was quite a challenge. I can't help thinking that eating 777 types of fruit might be the biggest challenge there though! I've travelled pretty widely and am a great fruit lover, but would be surprised if I've eaten more than 100 types of fruit!
- jrowley 9y agoYeah, thats a lot of steps. Assuming 1,000 steps = 1/2 mile, thats 3,888 miles for the year, which is totally doable, but a lot easier if you're into distance running.
- zapperdapper 9y agoThose steps do add up. So far this year I'm over target. The challenge will be keeping it going when I head to Philippines soon, I usually switch to swimming there - do laps count?! {grin} Good luck for 2018!
- briandear 9y agoDo subvarieties of apples count?
- lma21 9y agoIf that doesn't count I'm gonna have trouble finding that many type of fruit in my area...
- jl6 9y agoI'm counting species, not varieties. I wrote more here: https://medium.com/@7sevens/1st-january-2018-fruit-and-running-f530333642b https://medium.com/@7sevens/1st-january-2018-fruit-and-runni...
- lma21 9y agoI like this one. 7M steps! That's quite challenging, that's an average of 20K steps a day... Even the 7x10K races would only make up for ~90K steps...
- jl6 9y agoI did one of the races today, and it counted for about 12,000 steps. I did exceed my step target for the day, but it wasn't easy.
