Finished my workout and catching up on the reading plan. I have a 5 hour class on Saturday, so I need to plan ahead for that run.

Running and Tai Chi today. I have multiple reading goals this year. The reading plan I'm currently doing is to read the Bible in 90 days. I've never gotten very far before so I'm giving it a go.

Ended up with a migraine this weekend, so moved my running to Sunday and stuck with lower body foam rolling. I'm behind on my reading plan, but should be able to catch up. Did my strength workout today.

If you can get them cheese sticks make wonderful snacks. Lilly's chocolate is great as well since its low sugar (I eat a little for a treat not the full bar).

Ran an actual interval program and I've already shaved some time off of my pace. Today was upper body. Everything is going to schedule. I had a going away party to attend tonight so I'm tired but will still get my reading done.

My goal is more for the half marathon time (sub 3), but I wanted to start out on the shorter distance that I knew I could run a couple of times a week. I'm using the Zombies 5k app because my brain alone will not do proper running intervals.

For sleeping: Do you have a way to roughly track your sleep cycle? That really helped me and I kept a sleep diary for a couple of weeks. I also found an app that tracked the half life of caffeine which was really surprising how long a cup of coffee stays in your system.

Upper body today. I'm getting close to being able to up the weights for my workouts which will be good. Tomorrow is Tai Chi and running. Read my chapters for the day.

I don't schedule appointments, but yes I have books broken down into chapters that I want to read on certain days to complete the book.

Welcome to the rebellion! I really like the lives idea as well.

Bench marked my 5k, so I have a starting point for improved stamina. Completed my Tai Chi as well. Tomorrow is upper body for my scheduled workout. I have successfully caught up on my reading plan, which will lower the amount I have to do tomorrow.

Nice beginning challenge. Good luck!

Completed my scheduled workout, today was abs and towards the end it was difficult. Tomorrow is going to be my 5k benchmark and some Tai Chi after. I need to catch up on my reading plan since family time this weekend put me behind.

I'm slowly climbing back on the fitness wagon. Last year I completed a marathon and during the recovery period I lost a lot of motivation to continue with a healthy lifestyle. Since the beginning of the year I have worked on diet and started on fitness. This time around everything seems to be fitting in to place. I have gotten my diet down pretty well, so this challenge I'm working on the fitness portion. Stamina Benchmark my 5k time so I have my starting pace Zombie 5k training on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday Strength My dumbbell work out on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday Stretch Tai Chi on Tuesday and Thursday Foam Rolling on Saturday and Sunday Spirit Follow my reading plan each day.

Thursday Black Canary- Rest day. Lady Blackhawk- Breakfast burrito again. I found out that one of my snack foods was making me feel like crap, so changing that will help. Gypsy- Mobility and meditation done. Misfit- Working on my creative cover letter. Really difficult to make an introduction stand out when you get to talk about GAAP and standards for reporting. Friday Black Canary- Class was cancelled to set up for their meet. Lady Blackhawk- My working Fridays tend to be lose on the diet front anyway, but I did fairly well even with the work party. 3 slices of pizza and 3 half baked cookies were off plan at the work party. Gypsy- Mobility rest day. Meditation done. Misfit- Didn't work on anything. Saturday Black Canary- Went rock climbing for the first time in two months. I went until I couldn't grip anymore which was about 50 minutes. I decided on Monday to use this as a makeup for no class on Friday. Lady Blackhawk- On plan. It is far easier when I don't have to go any where. Gypsy- Mobility and meditation done. Misfit- Nothing today.

Movement challenge done. Climbed until I couldn't grip anymore since I've lost all of my callouses (about 50 minutes). The amount of small children there today and the lack of lower level boulder problems did not make it easy.

I got my push-ups in before Crossfit and some more mileage since we had a lot of running in the WOD. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Black Canary- 2nd full day of CrossFit today. Definitely need to work on cardio endurance we ran a mile and I was winded by the end. Lady Blackhawk- I had a breakfast burrito this morning that was not paleo, but I felt crappy earlier so I didn't have my breakfast shake and by the time I got to work I was super hungry. I did well for the rest of the day and we will put this in the 20% category. Gypsy- Didn't do my meditation last night. I did do both of my mobility workouts and today's sucked because I was still sore from Monday's class. Misfit- Did a little schoolwork ( about 30 minutes) and worked on my special cover letter. This write something creative that makes us want to hire you is difficult.

THE CHARACTER SHEET Character Name: Chaos Alignment: Jedi Race: Human Class: Gypsy Occupation: Bounty Hunter Force Skills: Meditation, Mobility General Knowledge: Food, Animal Lore Lightsaber: Purple Week 1 Goal: I will rock climb for 1 hour on Saturday. This may be interesting since I haven't been since the busy season at work started in August.

Black Canary- Today was my first full CrossFit class and I did okay. We learned thrusters and I did 16 of them with a 15lb bar, so not bad for my first day. The workout consisted of 1.a Thrusters 4x4 1.b Chin up holds 4x 25 secs 2. EMOM for 12 minutes odd minutes 10 burpees even minutes 8 toes to bar. Since I can't do the toes to bar yet I did knees to chest dead hangs. I found out that the gym is not holding the Friday at 6 class and no weekend classes because they are hosting a Lifting Meet. Because I can't go earlier on Friday due to work I'm going to substitute 1 hour Bouldering on Saturday for my CrossFit. Lady Blackhawk- I pre-made all my meals on Sunday with higher calories on workout days. I stuck to the plan even with Halloween candy waiting for me at my desk. Friday after work we are having a social gathering to celebrate the end of our largest team project. I'm going to keep the food as healthy as I can and since I know the supervisor that is holding the party is pretty close to strict paleo I'm feeling confident I can stay on track. Gypsy- Today is rest day from my mobility workouts which was nice considering we ended up doing a lot of the same shoulder work in CrossFit today. Meditation is going well. I've been averaging 5 minutes per day which is my goal starting out. Misfit- I didn't do any schoolwork or applications today, but tomorrow I'm going to work on my cover letter for my dream nerd job with a little actual schoolwork thrown in. This cover letter will be interesting since they want something creative and I'm an accountant, so not my strong point.

So following because my Mom and I both had a crush on Bruce Campbell as Brisco County Jr.

Following because come on Krakens are cool and its a great drink.

I'm in. I will work on the character sheet later.

Following.

I would like to join if you have room.
