Week 2 Day 6 (5.11.11) Running: First run (finally) since my last rugby game, done with friends, sincerely embarrassing - good reason to do better. It was about twenty or twenty five minutes, with a warm up, then five hill sprints just over a hundred metres with recovery jogs in between. I also have a cold. I'm not happy at all with my performance, but I am fairly happy with my effort. B Circuits: After the run, just one measly one. D Diet: Pass. Commitments: 1/1, on time, 100%. Sleep: 10 hours, so 50%. (The daylight saving switch was seriously confusing lol.)

Ouch, that's a long break. Here goes - Week 1 Day 4 (27.10.11) Running: F Circuits: ø not a circuit day Diet: F Commitments: 2/2 - 100% Sleep: 12 hours, F Day 5 (28.10.11) Running: F Circuits: ø Diet: pass Commitments: 2/2 - 100% Sleep: 11 hours, F Day 6 (29.10.11) Running: F Circuits: A Diet: pass Commitments: 1/1 - 100% Sleep: 6.5 - 50% Day 7 (30.10.11) Running: F Circuits: ø Diet: F Commitments: 1/1 - 100% Sleep: 13 hours, F

Thank you! Week 1 Day 3 (26.10.11) Run: Another F, unfortunately. Circuits: Two circuits, so C. I'm not complaining, my body is still sore enough that it was a challenge, but every rep is no longer painful. Diet: Big fat F. Commitments: 0/3. Sleep: 8.5 hours, yay.

Haha thank you, that's fantastic. Today wasn't such a great day either, but it was motivating, so that's something. Going to get a nice solid sleep tonight and then start fresh. In the meantime, here are the stats I've yet to post: Height - 5' 7" Weight - 141 lbs Body Fat - 26.1% Inches: Neck - 13.5 Waist - 29.5 Hips - 38.5 Thigh - 22.5 [ATTACH=CONFIG]923[/ATTACH]

Thanks, you too. And it's nice to hear that someone else feels similarly, it gets really frustrating. Week 1 Day 1 (24.10.11) Running: Took my rest day, had a rugby game (and subsequent drinking) the day before. Circuits: D. Embarrassing, but I was thoroughly bruised from the rugby game and nursing an old shoulder injury that acting up after the three rugby games in eight days. Diet: Pass. Commitments: Three out of three, late for two, so 80%. Sleep: Pass at seven hours. Day 2 (25.10.11) Not a good day. Run: Fail. Circuits: Off day. Diet: Fail. Commitments: Four out of four, late for one, so 90%. Sleep: Fail at six and a half hours, so 50%.

Thanks you too and I'm really excited. I'm also jealous of you doing Nano, I've done it the last two years but I'm currently swamped with school work so I'm sitting this year out. Alrighty, so I'm just going to add some more detail and how I'm going to grade my goals for reference/clarity. -So runs are obviously pass/fail, and I'll give each run an effort-based grade. -Circuits are going to (still) be the NF beginner bodyweight circuits, and I'm thinking that one will be a D, two will be a C, three will be a B and four will be an A. Since I'm no longer playing rugby and regularly getting hurt, there should be no Ds (resolved face). -I'm pretty sure that binges are going to be pass/fail, but I'm not 100% sure. There might be some credit given to a halted binge or something. -Commitments are going to be percentage-based, with an additional -10% for each late attendance. -Sleep will be pass/fail, but if I'm within an hour either way I'll count it as 50%.

I'm so excited for this challenge! Fitness goals: -Run 6 days a week. -Do circuits three days a week. Diet goal: -No bingeing. Life goals: -Attend all commitments. -Sleep 7-9 hours each night. I am, however, going to leave my picture and stats for tomorrow. I was out last night and woke up this morning five pounds lighter than I did yesterday (this happens every time, I'm assuming it's dehydration and my digestive system's own weird response to alcohol) and I want to have a realistic start weight, not start off with three pounds of gain.

Week 6 Day 6 (18.10.11) Fitness: Not a circuit day, no run. Diet: C Life: F.

Week 6 Day 2 (14.10.11) Fitness: No circuit 'F', rained out practice, no run 'F'. Diet: 'F' Way under, and I should have been making sure I had energy for the practice and game. Life: 'D' Treaded water and powered through a panic attack. Day 3 (15.10.11) Fitness: Not a circuit day, fantastic practice, was the first one at every ruck even though I was dizzy and couldn't breathe. 'A' Diet: B (I worked so hard for that Life: D Day 4 (16.10.11) Fitness: Not a circuit day, played a pretty solid game, but had a lot of trouble breathing/not vomiting. Being sick sucks, but I gave it everything. 'A' Diet: We'll go with 'C'. It was definitely a 'B' day, but with the addition of get wasted. Twice. Oh rugby. Life: 'C' shockingly. Did some readings, aced a quiz (drunk. oops?), was on time for everything. Shocking. Day 5 (17.10.11) Fitness: 'C' solid practice, but not the best. One circuit. 'C' sounds ridiculous, but my body is like a very large bruise and one circuit was embarrassingly difficult. Diet: 'D' good amount, mostly bad stuff, also bad planning. Life: 'D'

Definitely in, excited to do better for my second challenge.
