Looool. I was talking about the game. However, after posting this I did accidentally walk in on him and his girlfriend in the middle of a dirty video call. Whoooooooooooops.

Oh boy. First week of this challenge did not go well at all. Mid-challenge respawn! I think it's over complicated and the points thing isn't working for me. Last week was incredibly stressful at work and I let everything else slip. Streamlining the goals. There can be only 3! I want to succeed in this challenge and if that means moving the goalposts because I am weak, then so be it. I think I need some penalties rather than points. Food: No sugar. (Failure penalty: 25 burpees) Exercise habits: 50 squats a day, first thing in the morning (Failure penalty: no diet coke that day - it's enough of an addiction that this can motivate me) Life: 20 minutes cleaning every day (Failure penalty: no TV) Our romantic weekend away was a glorious success, despite wiring issues at the cabin that meant the hot tub had no bubbles. We had some intense talks about each of our needs and desires and where we want to go with this, and found ways to be naughty despite shark week putting certain areas off limits. Food during the trip was excellent too but there was SO MUCH of it. Seriously, the one meal, we had ordered barbecue. They set up a table for us outside with candles and champagne and kept bringing more and more food. Ten dishes in and no sign of stopping. Eventually we decided they couldn't give us more food if we fled. So we went for a stroll to walk it off and I'm still full two days later. I think we're a lot closer than we were, because we'd been drifting apart for a bit. Had a lot of fun trying out the new Stardew Valley multiplayer beta together today. So that was a success.

Because the person we take with would be his brother or his dad and stepmother. Urk. Tracking today : No sugar 10 Tracked food 1 diet coke No cleaning but I did some major work admin that I want to throw in. Solving about a hundred problems at once. I think I can give myself 10 points for awesomeness. Ben is on a date with his girlfriend tonight so I'm watching nineties kids movies at home. Still don't really feel like working out thanks to the sharks gnawing on my uterus but I'll get there once it's over.

Tuesday: almost made it to no sugar but then one of my students gave me a chocolate. It's tough being benevolent dictator of a munchkin empire. Still no workouts but I cleared off the couch (+10) and only had one diet coke, and tracked all my food. But yesterday was pretty tough as I was part of a meeting with one of my adult minions and it ended with him crying. Hopefully it will prove to have been a learning experience for him. We'll see. But... My ultimate reward has been revealed to me. My parents have given me an early birthday present: a week in a self catering timeshare in Orlando, next to Disney. Woooooo! Now to decide if we take someone with us or have loud sex instead. Our romantic long weekend has had a shark shaped spanner thrown in the works but we're still going. Might just take a hard drive full of old school mystery science theater 3000. To relax from work stress I've booked a facial after work today. Now I need to try to drink ten bottles of water before then... or you know, other goals.

Tracking post: Week 1 Monday: tracked food, no workout, no squats, 1 bonus diet coke, read. Of to a stumbling start. I am already in the negatives points-wise. But hey, the Expanse AND Legion AND Westworld are finally out. (-10)

Yaaaaaaaaaay! Congratulations and welcome to the world, Rowan!

Can we bring this back for the next challenge?

If I really need to focus then I resort to asoftmurmur.com, but otherwise I like to listen to instrumental indie/rock, electro-swing or classical. I usually just load a random playlist like this one:

Heh, I was not intending innuendo there but if you want to read it into it, I won't stop you. Juicy details - OK! Oh shit! You caught me. I changed my name as part of a major respawn; felt like a real fresh start. It came from playing PUBG - the pettiness of brutal murder was great. This is also my steam name. Plus it works well for this challenge - Petit Mort. Today is Sunday here so I'm gearing up to start tomorrow. Looking at my challenge in a fresh light, it seems a little overcomplicated but I guess I can divide it into things I must check off every day, vs things I can get points for as a kind of bonus. So, things to check off tomorrow: 1. Track MFP 2. Read for 30 minutes 3. Clean for 30 minutes. 4. 50 squats. 5. Workout/yoga I think I can make diet cokes cost 10 points, and sugar costs 100. Rewards are calculated on Friday nights, so I can make appointments at the spa for Saturday if I've earned massages/facials that week. Next weekend (long weekend) we're going on a romantic trip to this place: Hot tub on the deck awww yeaaaah This should be worth a couple hundred points for sure, if ya know what I mean.

Not creepy at all! I'm going for humour over smut with this one.

Antidepressants and unhealthy habits have pretty much put my libido in a Saharan pit, so, hey guys, here's a super fun challenge. Of course, this being a public forum, I'll be working hard to keep it to innuendo and limit the juicy details. Food: - track on MFP every day - 10 points for every day without sugar - 10 points for every healthy meal - better hydrate... 10 points for every bottle of water consumed. - limit to 1 diet coke a day Brain: - read at least 30 minutes before bed every night House: - clean for 30 minutes every day as soon as I get home from work - 10 points for cleaning in lingerie Relationship (this was hard to make into smart goals because it involves more than one other person's needs and schedules): - 10 points for going out on a date - 10 points for hanging out together doing stuff other than watching TV - 50 points if I finish reading The Book about poly stuff even though it is dense and dull - 100 points if I you know what with the you know who in the you know where Exercise: - yoga on rest days to be sexy and flexy - 50 squats a day - darebee workout program for amazonian sex goddess warrior body - 10 points for every swim in the school pool Loot - 50 points: facial - 100 points: massage - 150 points: dinner at Brown House - 200 points: dinner at Patty's -250 points: free pass day

Whee, so exciting. Awesome goals. Following for the mini Vries.

Woo! Bravo. I'm eager to hear about the climax of this challenge adventure - a mini vries! I'm amazed by how much you kept at it too. It's an inspiration as we start getting ready for the next challenge.

I've been having a bit of a rough week emotionally and everything else has kind of fallen by the wayside.

I know. My fiance is Texan. We spend every summer there between contracts. I absolutely love it. If you get a chance to go through DFW again, Rodeo Goat has the most amazing burgers I've ever had. Here's a link to their website. I had the Olivia Darling but all their burgers are delicious.
