  1. I did consider that. Hopefully I adjust quickly if that's the cause. I bought myself some brie as a treat on the way to work this morning. Really wanted cake but brie should do the trick.Sent from the nearest thing I own to a tricorder
  2. Didn't do so well yesterday, woke up with a migraine at 4am and called in sick to work. Managed to get the veg and water targets but nothing else. I'm going to try the bbww tonight Sent from the nearest thing I own to a tricorder
  3. Well, I'm a day in and so far, so good. Didn't quite manage the meditation, couldn't get my mind to switch off, but did sit for about 15 mins. Switched about half my soda for water, and nailed it with salad with dinner last night. Sent from the nearest thing I own to a tricorder
  4. Hi This is my first 4 week challenge, I'm level 0, as I'm so out of shape mentally and physically at the moment I need to work up to level 1! I've signed up to walk to Mordor, starting today, so in addition to that, for my first quest I have chosen: Diet Eat a vegetable with at least one meal each day. Swap out one soda a day with water. Fitness: Complete the BBWW 1x per week (this one will be my real challenge at the moment) Level Up My Life: 10 minutes of meditation daily wish me luck!
  5. Count me in. I already do a fair amount of walking but really should do more. If anyone wants to keep reminding me to skip second breakfast and elevenses I'd be very grateful. Sent from the nearest thing I own to a tricorder
  6. Hi folks I'm Graeme, or G. I'm a 35 year old, overweight, bordering obese, perpetually tired IT support drone / gamer / beekeeper/ astronomer. I'm sick of being tired all the time, sick of having to buy ever increasing size clothes, and sick of getting out of breath walking up hills. Given I live on top of a hill, with the train station at the bottom, that is a big annoyance. I joined here a while back, but fell off the wagon, back into my pit of poor diet and no exercise. This time I plan to stay, get slimmer, get fit and level up! Sent from the nearest thing I own to a tricorder
  7. Hey Folks I've been doing the couch to 5k program, halfheartedly. I keep blaming cold, or work, or the phase of the moon. Anything to put off going out and actually running. So, there's a thing every week near me called Parkrun, I've done that twice now, it's a fully timed 5k race. Last week i got just shy of 39 minutes, and this week, a little over 39 minutes, but it was VERY icy, so i was walking parts I know i ran last week. (not making excuses, just giving reasons, as walking was better than breaking something) I was talking to someone about why I'm running, to get more in shape, and give myself some "me time" away from technology, and the constant hubbub of life, and he suggested jokingly that I should sign up for a 10k a few miles from home, that's all on the flat. The 5k I've been doing it pretty hilly. That was niggling at me, and I appear to have signed myself up now. HELP! should i abandon couch to 5k, or try to skip ahead a week or two, try to condense the program, instead of doing 3 of each week, do 2, and move on from there? I NEED to complete the course in less than 80 minutes or I'll be disqualified, so I MUST improve before April 6th. that's my deadline. (i work well with deadlines, give me a vague "get fit" and i'll fail. give me "complete a 10k by April 6th" and I'll do my best.) any and all advice (except possibly "you're nuts, have a donut") greatly appreciated!
