Yay! That's awesome for the race, congrats!

Oh boy. Me and cooking time aren't friends right now but I'll try my best.

The TMNT workout looks SO difficult! It's an all-around challenge just by itself. So congrats!! That video IS SO COOL.

Oh my. You got me teared up while reading you. I can't even imagine having to deal with the loss of my Mom so I can only imagine how cleaning the trunk of your car was a very therapeutic, important, move for you. Congratulations on doing it! (also WHY JK, WHY FRED). I'm sending you a ton of positive vibes. You deserve the best, okay. There will be obstacles, but super-hero face it and sometimes might fall a little bit, but they always come back even stronger. You rock my dear, you really do. Here's to week 2 treating you well and your challenge being awesome! *hug*

Yay for the soccer victory, that's awesome! And please take it easy. You don't want your back to get worst, lifting will be back soon enough!

Yay for all your hardwork and push-ups! All the best for the race and hopefully you beat your wife's time. I feel you for the burger bun... white bread just kills me now. It takes about 5 minutes and I look 3 months pregnant because of bloating- sorry for the TMI. Hopefully you feel better now!

Magic, ohhhhh. Is there mermaid magic in your books too or am I just a crazy person? Good luck with the studies and the writing! You are doing amazingly and keeping up very well with your challenge, congrats! Dinner on August 7th had me drooling.

Them trucks. Honestly, it's so fascinating and interesting to read about it! Boo for the injury and I really hope you'll feel better soon.

Wow, strong PR's right there! Major congrats! I really wish you a swift and easy recovery, because being injured can be so daunting. Keep up the awesomeness! On another note, alcohol also makes me grumpy the next morning even in small quantities... Odd.

Gah, I feel your pain! It will take some getting used to, that's for sure. A lot of things are changing for you right now and it's not easy to adapt, but I have faith in you. You are a strong human being, you are made of fire and dragon blood, okay. Yeah... CrossFit is SO expensive. The cheapest place I've ever found was 105$ for a month and it was in the suburbs. I'm sending you positive vibes so that everything goes smoothly. <3

Thank you so so much for reading all of this. Thank you, really! I appreciate the support! Hey Megawolf! Thank you for passing by. I've been pretty tired and discouraged for a few days now, but I'm feeling better and it's all thanks to everyone here. Thank you! I'll post my updates once I get home. I'm hitting the gym for a run after work, so that will help clear my head even more! :-D I believe there is a link there when you click on Wonder Woman, but I'll post it again. It's a very good workout indeed, worked the core really well! Wonder Woman Workout. -- Week 2 Day 1-3: 768 hours left... Goron Mask Quest: Do strength training 3 times a week + a pilates or body weight session. 5/24 I had a good session with my PT who said: ''It's legs day today, your favorite day!'' I think the whole world knows I love leg day, haha. Bunny Hood Mask: Run 3 times a week and be able to run a 5k without stopping by the end of the challenge. 3/18 I skipped the run after my workout intially because I was feeling tired and my head was full of excuses. But then during work, I read everyone's message in here to cheer me up and it gave me some motivation. After work I went to the gym and finished the C25K Week 5 Day 1 and it wasn't as challenging as I thought it would be; score!Deku mask quest: Take gluten completely out of my diet, since Dekus don't eat any of that stuff, am I right? 2.5/42 Okay. I had a 90% good day without any gluten but then I was stupid and ordered a burger at Hero burger and forgot to ask for the gluten free option. One tiny small bun away from a perfect day. I'm more focused now and I'll cook more if I have the time! I gave myself .5 for effort, haha.Life Quest aka, Postman's hat mask quest: I have a lot of books to finish reading before I move out and I plan on giving them, so everyday I want to read at least 10 pages. I guess that quest is a bit of a stretch to relate to the Majora's Mask theme. +0 = 63/420 I haven't read anything in the last 3 days, but... I was writing. I WORKED ON MY POETRY STUFF. This is a great feeling for me so I'm happy. I'll just have to read a looooooooooot to make up for it. :-PI had quite a couple of bad days... I'm the kind of person who lets myself slip for a long time and gets discouraged. But I decided not to do it. I suffered a lot from emotional eating for the past week or two and those last few days were just... horrible and filled with food I didn't even feel like eating. But It's done now. I think stress has taken the best from me and the fact that I've quit my job (given two weeks) and now they make me come in for 70+ hours is killing me. Those two weeks can't end fast enough, let me tell ya... Now, I'm off to work 10 days in a row without a day off. BUT I'll meditate, do my best to not do too many takeouts (that will be hard since I won't be home) and I'll still have you guys. Good thing about giving my two weeks is that I don't care anymore if anybody sees me on NF while It's dead at work, so I'll be more active on everyobody's thread. :-P Yay for a new shiny day!

Here you go! My WE fails just kept on going until today, BUT my mindset has changed and it's thanks to reading your comment among others. Thank you. <3 Let's rock this! So true! I think it's my laziness that is getting the best (worst?) of me this challenge. Thank you Pixie my dear for your kind words! Yay Barney! But yes, you are right. I really need to stop with the bashing. There's enough people around me who are doing that already so I don't need to be one of them. Thank you for the kind words. *hug* You are always so motivating and lovely. I really appreciate it! Yes, he runs really fast though! :-P Thank you so so much Megawolf! You're always so nice to me. :-) I truly appreciate it! Thank you SO MUCH! And I feel you, haha. I never know what day it is. @_@ O M G. THAT. MONOPOLY. *-* I don't think anyone rocks leather better than they both do. Damn they look good, I will never complain about their costumes, haha. Hey, I know so many people that don't really like her because supposely she has a boring storyline, so I'm used to having to defend Natasha by now. :-P Thank you for the kind words, I'm definitely taking them to heart and won't bash myself ever again! Pinky promise. :-) Thank you so much for the encouragement! I'll have to come by and read about it!! I might sing him to death, as I have very bad vocal chords. :-P Awww I love that metaphor! I'll definitely use it to motivate myself! Gah, if only it had only been just this weekend. I let it drag up to today but I am definitely set on NOT letting this happen as often. I love your rule of thumb, though! ;P I'll definitely see it that way when I do indulge! It's honestly the best feeling. I'm so glad you got to experience it! Thank you so much. It honestly resonates a lot with me and it only motivates me more to go kick some ass (especially that little Majora... he's been annoying the whole town and my friend the Zora's!)

Sending positive vibes of recovery!

Keep up the great work! Adversity isn't fun at all, but you are capable of amazing things!

That gluten free cheesecake made me drool. And congrats on a great bike ride!

Yay for the new PR and the rest of the badassery! I feel you on new gyms, it really does need some getting used to. But it will come with time! Do it! Get a certification, it's such a fascinating course I loved it!

Agreed with Chris, it's all good for camouflage!

You are so impressive Greenleaf. Reading your journey always makes me want to go for a swim and you have been progression so much in such a short time. Major congrats are in order for you, Sir Zora!

Bonjour tout le monde! Je reviens m'installer à Montréal dans un mois, alors voilà . Je tenais à venir vous dire bonjour!

B is great! Honestly you did all your workouts and runs: that's amazing! You tracked almost everyday, same with meditation. I think this is a brilliant week and you should be proud. Week 1 is never easy and look how great you've done already.

Oh no. Be careful! They might use dangerous ways to take all the power...

I personally have cleaned my mats in two ways: either put water and lemon in a thing that looks like a febreeze (I have no brain right now to think @_@) or otherwise wash with some water first, then soap, then rinse with water again (all of this with a sponge). These are the two ways that I do, but I'm sure people will have other tricks to offer you.

Major congrats on the workout and don't bash yourself too much honestly. First week is never easy! I think that site has a lot of recipes that would be good for what you're looking for!

Wow indeed. Your workouts are definitely intense! Congrats! I hope your back will get better soon. It's definitely a huge pain to have to go on with your day when you have back issues, it makes everything more difficult and annoying. :/

That ninja next to the coke comment made me laugh, I'm not sure why, haha. Anyway you seem to be having a great time and that's awesome!
