annyshay Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 So, it's lunchtime and I have some time to RAMBLE! - currently overwhelmed by my weight, my finances, my stuff, and my job - want to re-focus on nutrition (aka return to stricter Paleo... and NO COOKIES) - not sure how I want to track nutrition (maybe just "variances") - balanced movement training with Team Avatar includes: walking, integral strength, mobility, yoga, and lindy hop - I will play around with the doses of each of these in the coming months (NOT a focus for next challenge) Seems like my next challenge needs to involve training with Toph and/or Suki. Those ladies are tough. Guess it's time for me to get tough too! Maybe I should pick one... Hmmm. Weirdly enough, I think my training with Aang is the most dialed in currently. We can probably just goof around together. Excellent... I think I have a challenge sketched out for when the new forums go up. Mwahahaha. I'll try to keep posting weekly here to keep myself on a long term track. Planning to take weekly pictures and waist-to-hip ratio. Will update the numbers weekly. Photos will stay for personal tracking currently... Sweet. Time to head to clinic. I hope the forums go up soon. 3 Quote Love as thou wilt. Link to comment
lucky fire dragon Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Very sweet! Second the love for your theme and colours Wow, that really covers everything!! Impressive Do you have spreadsheets to help you keep track when you aren't updating or are you planning on updating daily on the new challenge? So happy to see you do IS again, yay, and this time I know what you are actually talking about yas for full push ups and bridges and L-sit, whooohooo Not sure what exactly to wish you... tough will be helpful for your work situation, yes and do go for it, but not only, because sometimes you'll be stronger and healthier when you are soft and permeable like water or air. Oh, I simply wish you the guidance to know what's best in each moment and the ability to be it And that you never forget how precious you are as is 2 Quote Level 18 Wood-Elf Assassin battle log: counting the good things current challenge: something, nothing, all the things previous challenges: 25, 24, 23, 22, 21, 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 How cool is it that the same God who created mountains and oceans and galaxies looked at you and thought the world needed one of you, too Link to comment

annyshay Posted June 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 I didn't realize it until today, but on 6/20/2016 I truly respawned. I started tracking my calories again in MFP. Today, I've read a bunch of articles and cleaned my apartment while listening to a spotify playlist made of fantasy soundtracks. I just wrote my BIG WHY in the front of a new notebook. I un-clicked all the quests in the Academy that I have not accomplished since this respawn date and immediately went from level 12 to level 3. In case it isn't clear - this is serious. I'm ALL IN! 1 Quote Love as thou wilt. Link to comment
annyshay Posted June 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Took my photographs and measurements this morning. Photographs are staying on my iPad, but... I had positive thoughts about my body when I saw myself in the window. In fact, I thought to myself "I bet I'd look hot in a bikini". I meant now, not in the future. What? I weigh more than I have in years. My body fat is higher as well. This just solidifies the fact that I have made great strides in the rebellion and that I am ready to seriously change my relationship with my body and mind. *goosebumps* Weight - 205.3 pounds Body Fat % by Caliper - 38% Arm - 16.5" Chest - 43" Bra Band - 35" Waist - 41" Hips - 45" Thigh - 28" Also, these quests bring me up to LEVEL 4. This will unlock new loot - Kushiel's Dart. I love this book and want a paper copy to read at the beach in two weeks. 2 Quote Love as thou wilt. Link to comment
