RAWR!

Halloween is great for added steps =)

Awesome job so far! Hiking is a great swap for gym!

That would be a super cute picture of a ferret! I wish mine would let me get cute pics like that of them. The last two days have been a bit out of normal. I had a concert Sunday night (Good Charlotte) and had yesterday off from work. I also gave in to my stresses. I finally got a new (used) car. My old car died on me one night and I decided I was just over it. I noticed on new car there was a leak. I was smart and got warranty on it, through a 3rd party. I guess the car needs transmission rebuilt or replaced. So I have no clue when I will have my car back. Luckily my dad is able to let me borrow one of his, he uses for work. I gave in to the stress and did some damage to myself with emotional eating and fast food. Luckily I had some socializing (concert and playing pokemon with gym dude) that made up for it. First 2 days of challenge did not go as planned, but now I am ready to kick this challenge in the butt!

I like the goals and flowchart! Good luck this challenge =)

Placeholder for weekly totals... Week 1 - D1 - Damage Done: 65 Taken: 0 Health Pot: 1 (25 socializing) D2 - Damage Done: 71 Taken: 50 (ouch) Health Pot: 1 (25 Socializing)

LOL the fitbit is gone =) I decided to get rid of it to overcome my step count addiction.

I really like that Age of Pandora! Looks like it would be a fun little thing to try sometime =) I am back and ready to follow you again this challenge! Let's rock it!

Such cute pics! Sounds like a good set of goals! How do you like habitca so far? Are you in a party? I have been using it for a couple years now.

I took quite the little hiatus from here this year. Lots have happened and now I feel like I am at a place to come back and focus on doing challenges again. I will start back up by finishing the last one that I quit on. Vs King Sombra! Of course my love of My Little Pony has not changed since last challenge here =) King Sombra is a living shadow creature known as an umbrum. The purpose of his existence is to destroy the Crystal Heart and set free the umbrum army trapped below the crystal empire. He must be stopped at all costs. Sombra’s Health – 2000 Abilities – Uncontrollable Frenzy (Emotional Eating) 10 HP Damage – This seems to be a hard one for me to control. So I decided to increase the damage. Make it hurt a little more =) Quake (weigh self) 10 HP Damage – I think this one will be easy to avoid again but want to add it just to make sure. I know after last challenge I immediately stepped on scales and was upset by the number. Luckily I was able to remind myself that number is ultimately not what matters, health and happiness is. Oniomania (Shopping addiction) 5 HP Damage – I have a really bad shopping habit. If I think for a second I “need” something, I convince myself to buy it. If I do talk myself out of it for a minute, I obsess until I reason why exactly I just have to have it, or even why it would be a great gift for someone. For this challenge, I want to restrict my spending and work on paying off my credit cards. I only have 2 more Christmas presents to buy, so other than that, no buying random gifts for myself or for others for the next 4 weeks. I can do this! Poisons (Diet Soda, Fast Food, and Candy Bowl) Damage – We all know how bad these addictions can be. Diet soda – 5 HP Damage per 12 oz. Candy Bowl – 5 HP Damage per Indulgence. Fast Food – 10 HP Damage. Fast food will not result in damage if I choose smartly from menu and if no other options available. Fluttershy will be going in to battle this round! Health – 100 Skills – Mutilate (Workout) – 2 Damage per 5 Min – Yoga, Run, Cardio, Strength, any workout. =) Prey on the Weak (Outside Workout) Double Damage! – Outdoor workouts are even better, with the sun shining down making everything more awesome, which of course will do more damage to the boss! Acrobatic Strikes (10 Min Stretching) – 10 Damage per Session – Doing Yoga does not count on this one. I fail so hard at stretching after my workouts. I can tell that I am starting to have injuries and soreness. Flexibility is def lacking! Shadow Focus (Learning) – 10 Damage Daily – I have lots of different things I want to learn. I have a book on learning tarot cards, chakras, Buddhism, Japanese. I want to spend 30 minutes a day learning something new. Time to stop putting it off! If not every day, then at least a few days a week. Dirty Tricks (10 min daily house cleaning) – 10 Damage Daily – I put all cleaning off until the weekend and then I am like a mad woman thinking of everything I need to do and overwhelmed so I put it off more. I think 10 min a day can help with this. I use the excuse my room is a mess to not do yoga, so now I will make sure I have room in the morning. Nightstalker (Daily Reflection) 10 Damage Daily – At the end of the day I need to stop and reflect on the day. Think about the good that happened. Bonus 1 point for each positive\happy\gratitude that I write down. Combat Readiness (To do list) – 10 Damage Each – I have a list of things I keep procrastinating on doing. They aren’t necessary for life but they are things I keep saying I want to finish, so time to do them! Blade Furry (NF Mini Challenge) – 25 Damage Weekly – Sign up and complete the minis. Be part of a group and have extra little challenges! Health Pots Honor Among Thieves (Socialize) - +25 HP – I still battle with being antisocial. I need to get out and do more with more people. I love my animals, but I need to love my friends and family too, well I do love them, I just need to show it. Shadow Dance (Face a Fear) - +50 HP – I hide behind my fears, trapped by them. This can be any fear. The fear letting go and just being spontaneous. I fear snakes, heights. Trying new workout classes. Going someplace alone. Feeling out of place. I need to embrace the five seconds of courage and just do it! Tiger’s Lust (Burpees) - +2 HP per 5 – Burpees…..enough said. =)

The battle has been put on hold. I have started feeling overwhelmed with things. I am taking a break from lots of online stuffs. I had someone point out the other day, "You have an app for everything" so true. I use this for goals and also use habitica. I have my fitbit and always doing daily challenges, which I find I get obsessive on my daily steps (which I have lowered goals). I am always tied to some obligation, goal, some excuse. I feel like sometimes we lose the personal interaction when all we have is online stuff. Even dating is mostly done online (I am one of them too). I have also been given more projects at work, so this will increase productivity there =) less distractions. I will be back to resume this battle in the future =)

I know week 3 is usually rough on me. =) We got this though! Nice weather is always a plus!

How is your first week going?

This week has been pretty good overall. I did figure out I have numbers all messed up. So my Boss Damage is higher than I expected daily. I am missing damage today, since I broke on the Fast food and Diet soda already. Work crush is forgotten pretty much. Since he is out in the field most of the time, I do not see him or really have much direct contact with him. Gym crush is still the same. I am actually surprised I haven't lost interest on that one yet. I have a short attention span which also includes crushes. I am enjoying the Chakra teachings and doing tarot readings. I feel peaceful. I have also been writing and focusing more on my feelings. Going deeper to break through my walls. I know I am bad at pretending to be this overly happy, everything is fantastic person, instead of showing all the things I am really going through. I feel most of the time if I let people in, that I am burdening them and instead I would rather help them in some way. Be a helper not a burden. Because of this mentality, I end up carrying the stress of others on my shoulders. I am trying to break free of that. I am also noticing my nights are more calm. I do not feel rushed to be in bed by a certain time. I get around 6 hours of sleep at night, which I know I need to work on in the future.

I love your set of goals. Laundry likes to get the best of me too! The only things I could ever think to do in a bathroom stall were squats, wall push ups, and side bends. If you come up with more, let me know, I am totally interested in trying as well. I really like your forgiveness goal. I feel like we all tend to be a bit too hard on ourselves!
