My Challenge is to Complete 1 different uncomfortable challenge EVERY DAY FOR 10 DAYS IN 2024

bg my challenge

Why I am completing Nedd’s Uncomfortable challenge:

I am completing Nedd’s challenge because I want to push myself to my physical and mental limits.I am very fortunate to have a roof over my head and a comfy bed to sleep in at night, but there are many who don’t. And this is why I am contributing to Nedd’s cause; to end homelessness in Australia. Each day I am going to do a different uncomfortable challenge. These challenges include running 3km, swimming 1km, 150 pushups, difficult workout, a maths quiz (because it is something I struggle with) and to top it all off I am going to wake up at 6am every day and can only have cold showers. 

My Updates

DAY 10!!!

Tuesday 29th Oct
We have made it! Today was a breeze! Smashed through a 1km swim. What a good way to end this challenge! Although it was tough I really enjoy NUC. Thank you everyone who donated it means so much to me! Now off to have my last cold shower for a little while! 🥳

Day 9!!

Tuesday 29th Oct
The most amazing blue sky this morning! weather like this makes everything so much more easier! A strong run today followed by 1 hour of basketball training. 1 more day to go!!

Day 7!

Sunday 27th Oct
Today I did a continuous skip for 7 minutes. No stopping or taking a break. The weather was beautiful and sunny, and I actually quite enjoyed it! Then afterward I had and intense volleyball game and basketball game too. Only a few days left hope to finish with a bang!

Day 6!!

Sunday 27th Oct
To me math's is a challenge. It is more on the mental side, but it is still something I struggle with. By doing an hour's worth today I am planning to keep this challenge and make it a weekly task so I can maintain my skills.

Day 5!

Sunday 27th Oct
150 push-ups down!! 5 days to go!

Day 4!

Sunday 27th Oct
Today was a lighter day but still just as difficult. I woke up bright and early to walk 2km and then in the afternoon I did 3 hours of intense basketball in the recent summer's heat.

Day 3!

Sunday 27th Oct
Swimming 1k is SO HARD!! It was so much hared than I expected. To think that I was actually planning to swim 5k is insane! My arms are defiantly going to be sore, but it will be worth it!

Day 2!!

Monday 21st Oct
Suns out guns out! My day started with a bang. Waking up at 6:00am and going for a beautiful (and fresh) 3km run! Today was a lot harder mentally and physically, because I haven’t run in a long time and I have also never ran by myself. But by persevering and pushing through I am happy with the outcome and ready for more!! Bring it on!

Day 1!!!

Monday 21st Oct
And it’s on! 6:00am wake up, with 150 push ups before my 1h 30 basketball and followed by a freezing shower! (still getting used to it… so cold!!!) I chose push ups because they are something that I struggle with, especially doing a bulk amount like 150! 9 days to go 🙌
