Recurring MacroFactor Challenge Thread!

We'll be posting recurring threads throughout the challenge. So, if:

a) you have a question about the challenge,

b) if you need help or support as you pursue your goal, or

c) if you'd like to share your successes or struggles with the rest of the challenge participants

Then this is the thread for all of those things.

So, how's it going, everyone? How'd your first check-in (or two) go? Any advice or tips for your fellow challenge participants?
