yay for getting the paperwork doen and i press my thumbs for the hunt for a new den to live. Hope you get your new sanctuary soon

Thread necromancy... but thats ok, since i play ressurectionists in a a game called Malifaux and it's what we do Based in an alternate Earth, Malifaux uses gothic, steampunk, and victorian horror with a dose of the wild west to inject fun and depth into the magical lawlessness of a world rife with monsters, necropunks, man-machine hybrids, gunslingers, and powerhungry politicos. Actively using character-driven stories to define the world of Malifaux, seek your fortune in this fast paced and brutal 32mm tabletop miniature skirmish game. Assemble your crew and stake your claim!

sigh this makes me long for my longsword again :/

The last few days havent been that great. But at least I started getting my miniatures ready again. These are still WIP. Food wise I've been a naughty boy. Going to get food straightened out again next week. At least flat is semi decent now and the mountain of clothes to wash has shrunk delibaretely.

It is awesome that you ventured into the weights section we knew you could do it!

*hugs*

I have a pair of merrels and like them for running. I am not in love with running but signed up for a 5k earlier that year and started to do Zombies 5k! with the merrels. I couldnt complete zombies 5k in time due to being lazy and mostly just getting 2 workouts a week isntead of 3. So i was a bit doubtful when the 5K came around. I thought well hopefully I can at least finish and was surprised when i officially clocked in under 30min. and about 10+min faster than expected. I blame the merrels and forefoot running which they seem to encourage in me.

Hanging my craft project from 6F where i can see it every day

X-Com: Enemy Unknown at the moment Debating if i should spring the money for Wasteland 2

Grats on the bonus and the enjoyment of the lifting Dont worry the weight too much, it will go down again! For recordign avrages i really like the libra app. Fluctuating weight is much less scary if you see, that on average you are still going down. *subbed*

good luck with getting back on track. I deal with a bit of cravings as well after that weekend... *stalks in the corner*

does that mean i have to dust off the sword and bow as well?

stalking this thread for awesomeness

Body weight workout: 10x bw squats 8x pushups 25s plank 15x jumping jacks 6 reverse lunges per leg 10 hip raises for 5 circuits with 20s between exercises and 90s between circuits

Today wasnt one of my better days... Stressful day at work and I caved in and bought 2 0,5l sodas and to top it off the dentist bills arrived today. So now I get to organize how to pay them over the coming months... On the plus side I am still resolute to cook more, so i bought myself some chicken and fresh chilies and trying a variant of this recipe: http://www.foodfreak.de/2012/11/haehnchencurry-mit-roten-chilis-und-kokosmilch/ (german) And I also started to look into basic strength training equipment. Fort William left me with a longing to lift some heavy things. But the costs for a barbell, weights and everything sure add up quickly. Well have to shuffle some numbers around.

Seems good to me as well but cant make any promises yet depending on work. I added last aprilw eekend to the calendar though

Each journey starts with a single step and that step is the most important one. So be welcome and enjoy the road

I'm shocked noone mentioned ghee yet. But +1 on the butter and bacon fat. If you wanna stay on the plant side I use rapeseed oil when i cant stomach the taste of olive

Congrats I usually struggle with my fats so I can relate

The Journey Preamble What started out as the journey of a ranger quickly bore itself out in / after the second challenge but luckily I managed to stay on IRC for the great people and general awesomeness of NF. And when SpecialSundae mentioned a NF Meetup in Europe I was quickly intrigued and decided to join in. And I was glad that I did. Meeting all those awesome nerds rekindled a fire in me and put the wanderlust back in the heart of this specific ranger. So here we go... Starting Point Meeting ALL the nerds, lifting ALL the things, eating ALL the food, hearing ALL the stories was an incredible experience. One I really care to repeat in the spring meet, hoping to have some tales to tell of my own. My life has been up and down lately and while I havent reached any great heights I haven't had any big downs either. So I count myself lucky on that. I recently managed to cross being able to run a 5K again off my list and managed to loose weight consistently for a few weeks but came down with a slump and stopped to measure about a week before the meetup and somehow am reluctant to start again. Started a new position at work 2 weeks ago which will bei either very good or very bad for me. My work/life balance is pretty crap anyways with not having much of a life beside work here. But hey I managed to drag myself to BruCon end of september and to the 6F last weekend and it did wonders for my mood. Going to try to improve that on somehow and trying to get back into that whole Fitness thing more earnestly now (weight loss was mostly due to dietary changes) especially since that last deadlift just felt awesome. Venture outside I will start with short term goals and cross things of the bucket list of long term goals as I come across them. Some have already fallen this year like finally sorting out my dental situation (now to sorting out the dental bill situation), running a 5K again or being able to DL my own bodyweight. But there are some other things coming up, going on, etc that i need to focus on. Cleaning the cave Having my own flat is awesome, but right now it looks like a battlefield. And worst of all my parents have decided to visit at the end of the month. Now that may seem like a lot of time to get everything in order but between my work hours, depleted energy and my general enjoyment of cleaning tasks it will be a worthy adversary (dont expect progress pics though) Make beautiful things Okay I'll admit I am a tinkerer and fiddler. I generally enjoy making stuff with my hands and since I signed up for a tabletop tournament end of the month I have been given a deadline. I still need to build, paint and base miniatures till then and the plan is to make it to the tournament with a fully finished crew (expect progress pics on this one) Hunt and gather for food I will try to average 5 self cooked meals a week (allowing for random stuff to happen once or twice a week). Trying to live by the rule of Eat clean, live dirty. Other stuff and goals to be added as i come across them and updates as the mood strikes me. But feel free to poke if i turn into a forum zombie again

subbed. and it was awesome meeting you all Best of luck with the bar(e) assing and i hope you get a handle on lifes rein
