re-animator

I turned 22 today, it's one of those weird birthdays in my opinion because it's not really a mile stone, it's only another stepping stone. I just started thinking about everything that has happened in my life; I've had some very harsh patches and some patches that I wouldn't trade for anything. The three things that I am most grateful for over all are:

1 my family; we don't always get along, but they've always supported me and helped me through the crap that life throws out of nowhere 

2 my friends; I'm not all that social and tend to lose connections to people pretty quickly, but somehow this great group of people has kept me around for four years

3  life in general; it's probably the most important thing ever, since if there's no life there's nothing to be grateful for. Life is also important because it is a new and crazy experience everyday

Sorry for the mush, I think I got a little heat exhaustion today and it's making me loopy and emotional 

Goal #1

didn't have time to run (I need to be out of the house by 6.30 to get to work on time, so running is out every day I work)

Goal #2

Breakfast: eggs and fried deer sausage, water

Lunch: salmon, dried cherries, apple and water

Dinner: sweet potato salad, deer sausage, water and flourless almond cake 

Goal #3

did my breathing exercises on my walk to the bus stop; am feeling really good

Goal #4

didn't have time to do my crunches, but again really pushed at work

Goal #1

didn't run

Goal #2 

Breakfast: tea and apples

Lunch: salmon, dried apricots, some dark chocolate and water

Dinner: meatloaf, peppers, dragon fruit (this is a cheat, I love them, but they're still weirdish,) water

Goal #3

I'm not sure if it counts, but I walked to the bus stop, it's about a twenty minute walk; I did some breathing and mindfulness exercises on the walk

Goal #4

did only the crunches and push ups today; also really pushed today at work 

Goal #1

didn't run today

Goal #2

Breakfast: apples and almond butter; tea

Lunch: dried apricots, peppers and tuna, water

Dinner: eggs, peppers, apple and water

Goal #3

did about fifteen minutes of meditation before starting my day; feeling pretty good despite the day being chaotic 

Goal #4

didn't have time to work out; but I now have a job doing cleaning and there is a lot of movement so I'm hoping to get a fair bit of exercise

Extras:

talked to family

no progress on the swearing front 

finished Headhunter and on to Ghoul (this is not correct order, but I have ghoul in my possession and it's my favorite)

Headhunter is a thriller about a group of mounties trying to track down the Headhunter, a serial killer who kills his victims and takes their heads; his victim type is women with black hair. It's a pretty good book, there's a fair bit of gore and horror elements to blend with the thriller/mystery of the story. 

If you want to read this book stop, there are spoilers ahead. 

I'm rereading this book because the end was a twist ending where one of the main characters; a female mountie turns out to be the killer, but we don't know this till a much later book. I had to reread because I wanted to see how different the book was when you knew the killer was female, but with a possible dissociative personality that is male. 

Goal #1

jogged 30 minutes and walk for three or four hours

Goal #2

Breakfast: bacon and eggs

Lunch: carrots, cucumber, dried fruit and a chicken breast

Dinner: chicken and sweet potatoes

Goal #3

did some deep breathing exercises before starting my day, am feeling pretty calm 

Goal #4

didn't work out today

Well I pushed too hard during exams as it turns out; I got home, had two days of being healthy and then I went down hard with a chest infected of some kind; so I lost a lot of ground. I'm doing better now and am finally off the cough syrup I had to take; I'm really behind in my goals, but will start again tomorrow.

Yesterday was the trip back home, we got home late, but I did manage to get a good 45 minute walk in

Today

Goal #1

Walked a combined total of one and a half hours split between two walks (one was a creek walk so it sort of counts as balance too). Am also plainning on a 10k bike ride once it cools off a little

Goal #2

Breakfast: strawberries, chicken and pepper omlette and tea

Lunch: vegtable curry, deer sausage and water

Dinner: carrot soup, salad and water

Goal #3

Am feeling very relaxed today, it's probably the combination of being finished exams and the fact that I'm tired. I'm going to try to meditate before bed tonight

Goal #4

Didn't work out today

Extras:

I don't have to worry about communication since I'm home for a week

I'm still swearing, but am trying like crazy to not swear in front of the family

started re-reading Headhunter by Michael Slade

I got home yesterday and thinking of this spent  good 45 minutes walking the creek behind our house today. 

As you can probably guess from my name, I really like all the Re-animator movies. I haven't really been paying attention to what's coming out this summer; I love movies but don't usually have the time or money to go, I really want to see Man of Steel though and will find a way to see it. 

Ooooh water, I should probably not swim it though; wet Gnoll does not smell good. Time to work on balance; I'm a klutz, so this is going to be good for me. 

Ok, exams are over now; I swear i'm going to be getting back into my challenge. Also realised just how unhealthy I am about exams; I really need to destress, actually eat and get out of my room. 

Goal #1

did have time to run

Goal #2

Breakfast: tea

Lunch: left over roast and yams

Dinner: same as lunch

Goal #3

Tried to meditate, but didn't work; I was too keyed up today

Goal #4

did the 20 min work out with added push ups, crunches and supers

2 exams down; three to go

Don't worry, that's just WickePixie doing spidey planks!

Whoops sorry about that; great form by the way WickedPixie 

*tries to hide shoe*

Yeah we can do it... 

but am I the only one worried that something like giant spiders is going to attack us? (I hope that didn't jinx us)

Didn't manage to post last day; so here's yesterday's and today's 

Yesterday

Goal #1

Didn't run

Goal #2

Breakfast: tea

Lunch: veggie soup and water

Dinner: veggie soup and water

Goal #3

didn't have time

Goal #4

didnt' have time

Today:

Goal #1

Jogged, forgot about the C25K until I got back. It felt good to get out; though I kept panicking thinking that I should be studying, then my brain kicked in and said "screw it, you need to be healthy if you're even going to have a chance of passing anything."

Goal #2

Breakfast: tea and eggs

Lunch: sushi (chicken terri roll) its not paleo, but it's the most paleo thing on the campus sushi menu, water

Dinner: roast, mashed yams, stewed strawberries, water

Goal #3

meditated for about twenty minutes; managed to get out of the horrible mindset and into something a little more relaxed

Goal #4

didn't work out, but did the push ups, crunches and supers as study breaks

Thanks guys

Goal #1

Didn't run

Goal #2

Breakfast: tea

Lunch: veggie soup

Dinner: omlette

Goal #3

spent about 30 mins trying to relax myself; just focused on breathing and body position, I managed to cool down a little and felt better after

Goal #4

Didn't do my normal work out, but took study breaks about every hour to two hours that involved doing push ups, crunches and supers to keep the blood flowing to my brain   

*fears the vegetarian Trolls*

*fears all trolls*

I really want to cosplay, but didn't have a lot of exposure to anime or even comics or a lot of moves until I was in my late teens, so I have very small resource pool to go from, so getting to see all those amazing pictures of you guys is inspiring. Not to mention cool. 

Goal #1: 

Didn't run 

Goal #2:

Breakfast: tea

Lunch: carrot soup and water

Dinner: carrot soup and water 

(wasn't feeling so hot today, so I didn't eat all that much)

Goal #3:

Can't turn off my frigging brain, I'm  trying to relax and cool off; but almost immediately I start stressing out again. 

Goal #4:

eased up on the work out today; but included the 3 reps of 10 and 4 reps of 30 second supermans. 

I don't think I'm going to be doing all that well, until exams are over. 

Love the story so far.... 

Vegetarian trolls made me happy 

Yeah, the length is what was messing with me too; plus I don't have a lot of kinesthetic awareness, so I have next to no idea how to make my body do what is being demonstraited. That said, I still like doing the katas, becasue when I finally do it right, I feel awesome.

Depending on if there's wild animals in the area, carry bear spray. I grew up in bear country, so I'm used to having spray with me whenever I'm hiking. Since you're going to be running, I'd say try to find one that has a light canister that won't bump into your legs as you run.

Goal #1:

Didn't run today

Goal #2

Breakfast: tea and an apple 

Lunch: scrambled eggs with chopped chicken and water

Dinner: veggie stirfry, water

Also drank a lot more tea during the day

Goal #3

Tried to meditate or at least relax, but kept getting distracted by all that I had to do. Not impressed with myself, I really need to learn to chill out. 

Goal #4

added 3 reps of 10 push ups and crunches into the 20 min work out. Felt pretty good, and am going to stick there for maybe a week, maybe less before increasing

Minor goals:

-talked to my parents and texted little sis

-didn't really talk to anyone today; so there was not a lot of chances for me to swear 

-don't have enough time to read right now

I'm derp, just realised that I didn't assign the attribute points for my goals.

Here they are:

Goal #1

+2 sta, +2 dex (does dex work here, I mean I'm hoping to get more agile) 

Goal #2

+3 con 

Goal #3

+2 con, +2 cha (if I'm not stressed and angry, I'll be nicer, so this works)

Goal #4

+4 str

I think this looks ok, but if anyone has a suggestion please let me know.

I make what the roomies and refer to as 'stinky eggs' and what my little sister calls 'death eggs.' It's a very simple recipe beat eggs to a froth, add chopped garlic, garlic powder, pepper, and a little bit of HP sauce. Add the eggs to a pan of left over stuff (I really like using grilled chicken and potatoes) and let everything cook until the eggs are dark brown and the whole kitchen stinks. I then cover the entire mess in ketchup and open a window so one tries to kill me in my sleep.
