  1. I'm loving that you quoted Cookie from Atlantis. <3 Being allowed to eat bacon Because Paleo is wonderful. ^_^

     

    I know what you mean about whitewalkers. Can't go outside, the frost zombies will eat me... T_T

     

    At least cold weather gives you a chance to stay in and clean the batcave, right?

    It's such a good movie~  Not quite sure what to do with the leftover bacon grease though, in the past it would be used to make breakfast biscuits the day after :/  Just kinda hangin' out in a jar in the fridge right now.

     

    Ahaha definitely!  If the snow quality gets to the proper building-things state, I want to go out and make a zombie on the front lawn.  Mist it with water until it forms a nice protective ice shell!

     

     

     

    Bat cave is unfortunately the only thing on my list I've got done today so far.  Didn't go out for a walk, or even run around the house beyond up and down the stairs a few times.  Only food items available today were not paleo friendly (need to go shopping...).

     

    BUT

     

    There is still time for exercise before bed.  Have 1 routine printed out, gonna sticky-tac it to my wall and put on some music~  Focusing on core strength and flexibility (pulled straight from a beginner dance class).

  2. "I got your four basic food groups! Beans, bacon, whisky and lard"

    Cookie - Atlantis: The Lost Empire

     

    Big, bright, sunshiney cold day out there today, so instead of going out for a walk I jogged around my house for an hour, up and down stairs and such.  Pedometer says 2538 steps, I'll just round it to 1 km.

    Really could do with some fresh air though...

     

    Cleaned the kitchen again, the eternal vortex of mess that it is.  Did more laundry (that mountain is dwindled down to a small hill)

     

    So far have consumed 3 cups of coffee, 7 pieces of bacon, and a 3 egg omelette /w cheese, onion and mushroom, and my multi-vitamin.  For supper there will be lasagna, so that will be my freebie for today.  I need water.  There is joy in simplicity~  Also in flexibility, having the option to be complicated if I want is nice.

     

    Haven't worked out yet, gonna do that soon.

     

    Caught up with Gotham, excited for the new episode that's on tomorrow.  Going to finish catching up with Shameless.  Might not have the opportunity to play more of "The Last of Us" before my brother takes the system back home with him.

     

    BONUS:  Obtained bacon grease â€‹Elixir of the Gods

  3. When I was little, I had this misguided idea of what a Scribe was.  I essentially thought they were fiction writers from the middle ages, but I now know that more often than not they were essentially secretaries whose sole function was to copy papers.

     

    Scribe is still a cool name.

     

    I'm going to try and form this into some kind of repetitive daily function that is easy and fun to write and hopefully to read as well.

     

    So, to start out I'm going to start tracking my day-to-day nonsense, goals and challenges:

    Mostly Vegetarian, Mostly Paleo  -  A maximum of one food-item that isn't paleo, if anything  (exceptions: Dairy and rice) ---------------------------------------  Worth: 0.5%  (CON +1)

    Walk to Mordor  -  Walk 5 minutes.  BONUS 135 Miles to Bree (217.3 km) if reached before/by the end of challenge treat oneself to some brie and a pint - Worth: 0.5%  (STA +1)

    Bat Cave  -  Clean or maintain some part of living space.  Minimum 1/2 hour  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Worth: 0.5%  (WIS +1)

    Shameless  -  Complete 1 hour bodyweight training of some kind, can be intense or relaxed ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Worth: 0.5%  (DEX +1)

     

    TODAY

    Today.

    Today I had coffee, scrambled eggs /w onion, and lemon yogurt.  My one exception to the paleo diet was some crisps.  I'm hungry now, but currently unwilling to make eat anything.  Going to keep drinking my water~

     

    I DIDN'T WALK BLOODY ANYWHERE BECAUSE I'M NOT A WHITE-WALKER GDI IT'S TOO COLD FOR HOBBITS

    I did a lot concerning my bat-cave today, fairly proud of myself for that.  I can see part of the floor again  d*w*b  Doing laundry currently and trying to figure out where to temporarily relocate my stuff while I clean/reorganize my closet.  Where's Alfred when I need him?

     

    I didn't work out today either, and the reason is TMI.  If you're curiosity is blinding you, click the spoiler.  I'm giving myself this as a good excuse, so not too worried.

     Massive constipation pains, spent a good part of the day that wasn't spent bat-caving or on the computer on the toilet.  Still feel mildly ill  

     

    And for FUN

    Today I played "The Last of Us", got to a certain point and gave it a rest because I was starting to get irritated.  Spent A LOT of time looking up possible workouts because I was upset I didn't have a good enough range of motion for it today.  Going to watch 1 or 2 episodes of Gotham later today (almost caught up!)

    MV,MP = 21%

    WtM = 21%

    BC = 21%

    S = 21%

    FtC = End score of 70% or higher

     

    MAKE-UP

    At the end of the week, there is an opportunity to make up to 7% (so long as it doesn't go over and above the weeks maximum percentage) by going over and above, trying something new.  Award self appropriate percentage, no cheating or over-rewarding.

     

    Maximum Percentages:

    Pre-Challenge  -  16%

    Week 1  -  30%

    Week 2  -  44%

    Week 3  -  58%

    Week 5  -  86%

    Week 6  -  100%

     

    Take 5

    When you get to a part in the game that you seem to be incapable of passing, that infuriating try-die-respawn-repeat cycle, take a moment/break for however long you need to.

     

    Walking measurements:

    Work  -  0.3 km for 8h shift

    Work to farthest bus stop  -  5.2km

    Home to Grocery store  -  1.3 km

    Home to mall  -  4.4 km

    There is essentially a week left before the next challenge, only one week.

     

    One week to rule them all,

    one week to find them.

    One week to bring them all,

    and in the darkness bind them.

  5. In a mountainous pile on my desk there is:

     

    Shorter Poems - Alexander Eaton: Toronto

    A journal

    The Raven King - Marcus Tanner

    Poor Folk - Fyodor Dostoyevsky

    Dracula - Bram Stoker

    The Selected Works of T.S. Spivet - Reif Larsen

    Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell - Susanna Clarke

    Hellblazer GN #4

    New 52 I, Vampire GN #3

    The Walking Dead Compendium #1

    New 52 Suicide Squad #2

    (The bookshelf beside my desk is full, and these are all the books that I'm currently halfway through)

  6. I do the piles of stuff I need to get rid of too!  I usually get everything sorted into piles and then don't know what to do b/c there's not enough room to put 'em away x'D

     

    I was thinking that because I don't have a whole lot (or any, really) of money to throw around I could take some of the recycling and construct my own shelving somehow (closet organizer?!!)

    I totally want floating shelves, but the house-owner has denied my plea~  *sigh*

     

    TIME TO BOX EVERYTHING

  7. ALRIGHT
    UPDATE #4

     

    Today, I had my first in car driving instruction.  It went well, didn't crash or stall or get stuck/hit/bumped or bashed.  WEEEE, next lesson is next week at some point!!

     

    As for my challenges:

    MV,MP  -  The new goal on this will be to keep my gluten intake to a maximum of one item per day if anything, as the sores in my throat are becoming quite painful.

    WtM  -  A wonderful new friend of mine suggested that instead of looking at it as walking all the way to Mordor, I should break it down into manageable sections with little rewards at checkpoints (ie: A pint in Bree).  Brilliant idea from the lovely JMitch.  I walked very little this week however (only 7.7 km Dx)  but that brings my pre-challenge total to 52.7 km!

    BC  -  I'm so sick of how scattered everything in my house is, but I'm having serious issues organizing what's not garbage.  I don't have enough shelves for my books so they're kind of haphazardly piled around my house without any real rhyme or reason and I don't know what to do about it :( I love my books, I couldn't pack them away (not to mention I would make a huge mess just to get at one if I felt so inclined to read it)

    S  -  SWEATY.  SWEATY SWEATY only done it twice oh my lord I need more workout clothing if I'm going to keep this up

    FtC  -  11 days!!!

     

    MV,MP = 25%

    WtM = 25%

    BC = 25%

    S = 25%

    FtC = End score of 70% or higher

    4% is awarded for completion of a goal plan (idea, initial plan, test, final goal plan for challenge) for each of the 4 goals

    0.50% can be awarded per goal per day (maximum 2%/day) for the total of 42 days/6 weeks.

     

    I'm hoping to see the same kind of results at the end of this year that I've seen occur over the past 2 by completing the next 5 6-Week Challenges:

  9. UPDATE #3! (or proper post #4, whatever.  3rd week is ovah as of yesterday)

     

    MV, MP:  I went and gone and had a whole day of grainy carby goodness after a week of having next to none of it because of work/availability issues.  I got a throat full of canker-sores for my lack of trouble.  Been to the doctor, waiting for lab results to say yay or nay on the intolerance scale.  Believe it or not it's next to impossible to find time to sit down and eat anything when you work in a kitchen.  It's a very grab, snarf and go kind of situation.  Luckily, if I am intolerant or sensitive or whatever, one of my co-workers is gluten-free and has the same banana/mango intolerance that I do and I can ask her for pointers.

    WtM:  This week, I walked 30 km! (maybe even 31-32, but I didn't properly track decimals.  Just been rounding down to nearest whole)  And today I walked another 2.5 wich will go into next week's update.  I'm not going to count steps taken at work for this, but the past 2 days I've brought my DS and it's handy-dandy pedometer to work and for a total of 14 hours I took roughly 30,000 steps.  WOWZA

     

    BC:  Absolutely nothing accomplished on this front, not even laundry.  Working 6 days is no excuse!!  Getting on that.

     

    FTC:  Working on it~

    BONUS:  Shameless:  Fiona (AKA Emmy Rossum) is a huge, huge inspiration for me right now.  She's beautiful, healthy and talented.  I'm going to be looking to her for inspiration for my diet (she's gluten-free/celiac), but for this goal I want to more focus on her exercise.  She's only 1.5 inches taller than I am and has an excessively similar bone structure, yet she's long and lean and I'm sitting here with all my hobbit glory chub.  Yes, it's her job to look good and she has a million hours/personal trainer/mail order healthy foods/amazing genetics to help her but I can be healthy like that too with my own resources.

    So I'm going to be looking into ballet/dance exercises, one hour twice a week.  I want to work up to once a day eventually, but that's far into the future.  This is good enough for now.  Gotta work out a routine right?!

     

     

    I'm going to take some progress pictures to compare to my "before" pictures.  I'm regretting not taking pictures consistently, but I'm glad I have befores.  Two years is a long time.

     

    "Nobody's gonna roll me. I carry pepper spray and a shiv"

  10. "Where the hell were you last week?"

    Sorry, I've been watching Shameless.  That show is NSFW, NSFK, NSFL b/c it's too on the ball for how poverty works.

    I'm really glad my family moved up the ladder before I got any crazy ideas into my 13-year-old head.  BONUS!  My younger siblings don't even remember!! (I'm the oldest of 3)

     

     

    Anyway, this was my week so far:

    MV,MP  -  Twice this week I had a day where I just wanted to eat whatever was available/easiest to get to.  That would be fine, but I can't do the grand clean-out of my house because it's not actually my house it's my mothers.  Though I learned from last time, I didn't tell her I was trying this again so she didn't go out and pity buy a whole bunch of garbage (win).

    AND AND AND
    I'm very proud and excited about this!
    Without even thinking, when someone offered me a granola bar I said "I don't eat granola bars, thank you"
    not "I can't" or "maybe just a bite"
    I do not
    :D

    And they didn't even blink at it, just "Okay" and didn't bug or pressure about it.

     

    Walk to Mordor  -  This week's count is 15 km, and most of that was in super super cold weather.  Twice at night in the -18-22°C range, and yesterday to the store and back was warmer but snowing like nobodies business at -15°C.  Not too bad, I want to work it up to 35 km per week still.  I'll get there, progress~

     

    BAT-CAVE  -  Little to no progress.  Seems like every time I clean something it just gets cluttered with more mess either of my own making or someone elses (it's especially discouraging when it's someone elses)  It just feels like there isn't enough time in the day to keep every room in a state of cleanliness.  But I'm going to try and figure something out, because this sucks

     

    FTC  -  NOT STARTED PROPERLY YET

    I think this one will end up being implied and I'll have another resistance/body-weight themed challenge here instead?  Maybe something along the lines of 3 reps in one episode of Shameless.  GOTTA EARN THAT ENTERTAINMENT or MIGHT AS WELL DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN SIT ON YOUR BUTT WHILE YOU WATCH THIS

    It's important that I keep this one close, but there's really nothing I can report about it, the fact that I'm reporting at all says that I'm following through.

     

     

    "Three words: Time. Management. Skills"
    I don't need a webinar, I have Nerd Fitness!

  11. "I don't know how to say it, but after last night I feel different. I seem to see ahead, in a kind of way"

     

    There are 1.60934 km in a mile.

    It takes roughly 1 hour to walk 6 km (3.73 miles)

    The walk to Mordor is 1779 miles long.  That's 2863.02 km.

    To walk all the way to Mordor in 6 weeks, I would have to walk 68.18 km(42.36 miles) per day.  That's 11.36 hours per day, not including breaks or slowing down due to fatigue.

     

    More reasonably, if I walked 5 km (3.11 miles) per day for 6 weeks, I will have made 7.3% of the entire journey.

     

    Frodo and Sam took about 6 months with monsters and baddies and sideroad misadventures to deal with but without things like a day job ect ect.

     

    Perspectives are fun~
    And Mordor suddenly looks impossibly far and close enough to touch all at once

     

  12. You don't have to stick to traditional "breakfast" style foods, personally I can't.

    I usually make enough of the previous night's supper to have half a portion for breakfast or lunch should I feel up to it (most days solids don't agree with me until I've been awake for 1-4+ hours)

    For the days when there's no leftovers and eggs are unappealing:

     

    Some kind of protein - tuna, ground meats either formed into sausages or patties, bacon (depending on how lazy I'm feeling)

    Some kind of roughage - broccoli, carrot, spinach, peas, zucchini, eggplant (in various states and styles of preparation and cook, again depending on how lazy I feel)
    Coffee with 2 tbsp of almond milk (homemade, no sugar) and 1.5 tsp of honey (local)

     

    If I'm feeling extra peckish, which happens occasionally but not often, I'll throw in some almonds (always have raw almonds around, I use them often for milk and baking purposes) and/or whatever fruit is lying around (usually apple)

     

     

    Hope this gives you some ideas!  Breakfast is a personal thing, and it affects your whole darned day.  Some people function better without it, and some people are true nightmares if they miss it.  Experiment around and find out what works best for you.

  13. SATURDAY UPDATE

    Because yesterday was a day full of de-bugging my computer, HA

    Anyway, some notes:

     

    For Goal #1:  replacing one item with a paleo alternative is easy enough, but later in the day I will muck up my portions (too much) and have a crazy amount of non-paleo carbs (bread, pizza, pasta, rice) so I'm going to alter that one to include portion control as well.

     

    Goal #2:  I haven't gone out for a walk at all... I really hate being cold and there aren't any free indoor alternatives for this so really it's just something that I have to suck up and do a little bit of.  Going to change from distance to time, because telling myself 5 minutes is going to be more effective than telling myself 5 km.

     

    Goal #3:  Going alright, though I'm focusing more of easy common-space areas rather than the areas I spend the most time in.  So I'm going to adjust this and make a hierarchy of room priorities and time spent in them ect ect

     

    Goal #4:  I'm not really into it yet, I'm kind of jogging after the band-wagon as of right now, but I've not abandoned it yet and that shall be considered a win~

     

    Woooo

    "On the road again~  I can't wait to get on the road again~"

    - Donkey: Shrek

     

    SPEAKING OF GETTING ON THE ROAD AGAIN
    Getting my ingredients for truffles tomorrow, probably~
    *Excited*

  14. Hey guys!

    I'm not new in the slightest, been a member of NF for almost 3 years and have been a forum lurker nearly as long as that.  Still not very good at talking to people...

    22, culinary student taking time off to pay some debts.  I'm a cook, and I love researching and testing the more complicated recipes (currently working on paleo truffles, will be ready to share soon hopefully)

     

    I like DC, Vertigo, Darkhorse, ect, ect.  My uncle used to own a comic book shop when I was younger, so I had a lot of exposure to Marvel and DC and follow both.   I've always liked villains and anti-heroes more than heroes.

     

    Doctor Who is something that has been a huge part of my life for a long time (my family actually gets together to watch it on Christmas day), I've been a fan of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "Sherlock Holmes" for as long as I can remember and I enjoy Moffat's modern-day representation.  A lot of movies and shows, really, I could babble about it for a long time.

     

    Very slowly converting to paleo.  I have no dietary issues regarding gluten or dairy, but I am allergic to bananas and have a sensitivity to mangos.  Not a smoothie kind of person, as a result lol

     

    My hobbies include sewing costumes, attending conventions, going out to nerdy local events (archery tag, hobbit bouldering), playing Just Dance Wii with my younger sister, playstation games and PC steam games, painting, knitting scarves that never ever get finished~

     

    I'm a hobbit, for real.  Could walk forever, but am going to do so more because I've been enjoying the warmth of my house as opposed to the cold winter air a bit too much.  Current goals are to get stronger (specifically enough to hoist myself up and over a ledge) and to slim down (so there isn't quite so much to hoist)

     

    I love doing fun things that have hidden benefits, I'm super crafty, and I enjoy being and being in need of an idea bouncing board.

    Feel free to keep in touch~  Whether you have advice or questions, I'm all ears (which sounds like a grotesque mass deformity, if I'm completely honest)

  15. That is a fantastic title, I'm fairly proud of myself for that!

     

    Anyway,  I feel that missing more than 2 weeks of the current challenge is enough to want to wait until the next one starts to officially log there.  That is to say, I will still sort out and start on my goals RIGHT NOW, but I won't join a 6-week challenge until the next one starts (Feb 23 - April 5 I believe is the next one)

     

    So a preview and toe-dipping-to-check-the-temperature is what this is, I suppose.  There's always room for tweaks and scootching to adjust for the busying of schedules or for more leisure time as it comes along.

     

     

    MAIN QUEST: It resides in my signature~ inspired by Daft Punk's song "Harder Better Faster Stronger" and Might Guy from Naruto, I never want to actually be able to finish this goal.  So, my goal is to be better than my past self.  YEAH FOREVER-GOALS!

     

    My current goals to achieve the fundamentals of my main quest are as follows:  EDITS IN BOLD

     

    Goal #1:  Mostly Vegetarian, Mostly Paleo

    • Inspired by:  Everyone who's ever picked on me for eating a vegetarian meal.  Please note:  I am not a vegetarian.  I just don't eat a whole lot of meat products, they tend to be a smaller part of my diet because I prefer vegetables.  Someone once told me this meant I was "Mostly Vegetarian", and I laughed pretty hard not gonna lie.  I told one of my vegetarian friends about it and they got upset to the point of being offended, which I thought was strange but hey- to each their own.
    • Plot Point:  Reduce grain intake and replace with more proteins and healthy fats.  I mean I love veggies, but they're not gonna keep the engine running all by their lonesome.  Veg intake is already optimal.
    • How-to:  Replace at least 1 grain product per day with a protein/fat combo (ei: replace veggie burrito with lettuce wrap + meat/nuts, replace sandwich with raw almonds, ect) watch portions - make sure to have â‰¥ of veg instead of going nuts later and filling up on potatoes/bread

    Goal #2:  Walk to Mordor

    • Inspired by:  The Lord of the Rings & Nerd Fitness!  Great movie/article.  I have a good activity level, but it's kind of sporadic and dependent on other peoples presence (my mother at the gym, my co-worker for bouldering, my sister for Just Dance Wii, ect)
    • Plot Point:  Walk places, or around.  Don't have to go anywhere necessarily, but motivation always helps!  Instead of paying an extra $3 to go 5 km from work to the next bus stop, walk.  0.75 km from the grocery store on the way home to buy those raw almonds instead of asking someone to pick it up.  It's a beautiful, fresh-aired day, walk the 11 km to the local nature park and back, plus whatever wandering happens at the park!  Anything counts.
    • How-to:  Walk a total of 25 km (15 miles) per week walk 5 minutes/day minimum - first thing after breakfast

    Goal #3:  BAT-CAVE!!!

    • Inspired by:  Batman & Nerd Fitness (I spy a theme here)
    • Plot Point:  My living areas are pretty chaotic, it's not good.  Definitely need more order and organization in that department.
    • How-to:  Do one thing, every day, to improve the overall functionality of my batcave living spaces.  Can be cleaning, dusting, re-organizing all of my mothers DRAGONLANCE books (that last one takes hours though, maybe for an especially enthusiastic day) order of importance/rooms to focus on first:  Computer room, kitchen, bedroom, living room.

    Goal #4:  Finish This Challenge

    • Inspired by:  Every other challenge/goal that I have not finished
    • Plot Point:  I habitually quit after a week or two for most things.  No longer.  I am now someone who finishes what I start or has the sense of mind to not start that thing.
    • How-to:  Keep a day-to-day journal.  Post a cumulitive report online once a week (Friday)

     

    I opted to replace one of my diet/fitness goals with another life goal because that last one is fairly important.

     

    It's not looking at my failures in life and trying to be motivated by regret.

     

    I've accomplished a lot since I decided I wanted to be healthy:

    1. Lost 45 lbs
    2. Started exercising again
    3. Made new friends
    4. Go out of my way to socialize instead of complaining about being lonely

    and then some more, so it's more looking at my failures and seeing how I can better myself from them (see: main goal).

     

     

    And this all starts today, right now.

     

    After I post this, I'm going to go wash todays dishes (goal #3) and then I'm going to check out what food-stuff we have so I can plan tomorrow's breakfast (goal #1).  I'm not going to put too much pressure or planning behind this, because I know it doesn't work and I'm only moderately insane.  So tomorrow's goal achieving plans will be made tomorrow, likely right before I do them.

    It's 11:01PM here in Canada, I wish you all a good night!  Happy Tuesday~

  16. Loved reading your posts. Good to see you are keeping the good changes in your life!

    We love the El Dorado movie as much as we love the Hercules movie. Sometimes they just get it right!

    Thank you so much! Though honestly I ran out of quotes pretty fast, this blog is turning quickly into a dumping ground for quotes from things that I watch.

    I was listening to the Hercules soundtrack yesterday during my zombie fast-walk!  Such a good movie.  Disney in general is pretty great.  Pixar and that other one too... Dreamworks!

     

     

    Alrighty there ladies and gents!

    An update for you:

    Yesterday I took the bus to work (because getting all sweaty right before I arrive isn't much fun, there are no showers there) and then fast-walked away from zombies all the way home.  The weather was doing crazy things so I was half covered in snow pretty quick and had to keep brushing myself off, but it wasn't too cold (-1 to 0°C range, not very windy).  Rocked my water intake!  No dehydration here~  Just mucked up my eating schedule a bit: skipped breakfast, has sushi for lunch, and was so starving by supper that I over ate (potatoes, cheese, crackers and meats) also I still need more veg in my life, but it seems I need to go buy it myself as my family eats it sparingly.

     

    The deal for today is to see how well my zombie app workes in the gym!  Because a gym membership was included in my tuition and why the hell not?  Have a friend I might drag along too.

     

    Anyway, off to school now,

    ttfn guys!

    Geronimo!

  17. So I went to work today and on my break I did a little shopping, bought some shirts and Zombies, Run! Which was super useful as well as fun because I didn't have any bus money to get home! Yeah 3 mile jog/fast-walk in icy sidewalks, feels-like -10°C (aka 14°F) wind and I wasn't even cold because I was too terrified.

     

    So totally worth it! I got it on sale for $3.99! or is that the normal price and they're just kidding me? The thinger said it was normally $7.99... Whatever, it's cheap and I would sugest it to anyone. Even my friend who has a phobia of being eaten alive (either because I'm a horrible person or I won't be taken seriously, ~who knows~)

     

    I'm having these weird fits of stress and grumpiness as well, money sucks.  Anyway,

     

    Happy Saturday night peeps!

     

    Edit:

    By no bus money, I mean the busses in my area accept nothing less than exact change because they suck. It's $3.75 and I had a $20 bill.

  18. I honestly can't remember how many times I've been here, but I havn't been here in a while so hullo again!

    Big Boss: Ganon - The Legend of Zelda

    My main goal is to lose weight. Specifically, I want to lower my body fat % and have a more defined shape, show off my muscles instead of hiding them, you know? Gotta make some more muscles for that too :tongue: I don't particularly care about what size pants I wear or how many inches my waist is, those are just methods to show that what I'm doing is doing something. I have a family-genetics related silhouette that I used to have that I'm trying to snatch back and it's getting closer every day.

    I'm going to recycle and repurpose some old goals because they're fun.

    The Science of Deduction - Sherlock

    I've been doing this one for a while now, at work I can now mostly determine what kind of person I'm serving and predict how their going to act throughout my serving them, which is cool as well as useful. I wish I could try to deduce their lives without pissing them off though, for some reason that seems impossible with the people I encounter whom may be having an affair... ;P

    So a continuation and a refinement of the skill set I already have, let's see if I can be able to deduce what kind of meal my customer wants before they've ordered by the end of these 6 weeks.

    Run. - Doctor Who

    The ground is a frozen racetrack of dangerous fantastic possibilities! Just gotta bundle up and go outside. 15 minutes per day outside time, 15 minutes running up and down the stairs inside. Inside running can be exchanged for outside play, but not the reverse. Total 3.5h/wk ~ 21h for the whole challenge.

    Water! - Ponyo

    Water is this super magical thing that I've been avoiding about half my life for some forgotten reason. I still occasionally struggle with accedentally dehydrating myself so the goal here is to get up to a maintain a healthy water intake measured by - ahem - dehydration measuring methods (urine colour). Basically the lighter the better. Stay in the hydrated zone for the whole of the 6 weeks!
