Laidra's Battle Log - Stopping Procrastination

[LaidraPhyre]

Beginning of a New ME!!

 

Trying to catch up on the new challenge period and my log -

 

First about me

I am a twenty-something female living up in Cheesehead country (Wisconsin).

Working at a decent place, but would love to finish my last semester of college but it's been so long since I was enrolled.

 

 

Steps on how to get me to level

1. Restart my C25K program (includes running 3+ days week).

2. Get 6 hours of sleep on raid nights, but 7+ hours on non-raid nights.

3. Do not eat more than what I take to work for lunch.

 

 

 

4/14/14 -Monday - Realized that yesterday was the start of the new challenge time here on NF and wanted to jump on the wagon at the beginning. Created my post over on the Level 1 Rebel page.

 

Mondays are not gym days as my gym buddy has raid nights on Sundays so he likes to sleep in. I spent my evening splitting my attention between catching up with NF stuff and my own 2nd raid night of the week.

 

No Soda Day 1- Complete

 

 

4/15/14 - Tuesday - Jumped in on the No Soda PvP Challenge.

-Gym morning went pretty good.

18 minutes of Elliptical, followed by some weight machines, finished off by 18 minutes on the treadmill.

 

Need to work on increasing my time on the treadmill again. I was working on the C25K, but helped a friend move a few weeks ago and threw everything off schedule.

 

No Soda Day 2- Complete
