Made it up Dreadlock Hill with ease. What a difference six weeks makes. Right now I feel like I could climb Everest

Awake nice and early having slept for eight hours through the night - six weeks ago I never thought I'd be doing that once let alone regularly - and this morning I'm going up Dreadlock Hill to get my dreads washed and tidied up. I'm going up it in one go with a smile on my face. Congrats to everyone else who's reached Level 2. Woot

Thanks Elastigirl and Chris-Tien Jinn. Finishing strong and feeling great

Is this the right thread to say hello on? Hope so. Hello Just coming to the end of my recruit challenge, loving Nerd Fitness and especially grateful for the splendid Assassin ambassadors who cheered me on on my thread. Thank you. Looking forward to becoming an Assassin and wearing more black, lots more black.

Assassins for me. Really appreciate them cheering me on on my challenge thread and befriended the ambassadors that did so. Off to their forum to say hello.

Thanks Making little changes like that and then feeling the effects quite quickly really help with motivation.

Good luck, Gainondorf. Hope you crush your mini-goal

Conrgatulations, Rivet! Best of luck kicking the crap out of week five. Couldn't find a gif so have a picture of dog totally going its own way in true NF style

Wishing you good luck for this week of your challenge. Have you ever practised mindfulness? I found it, well to be honest, life-changing in terms of keeping my moods more balanced and not swinging between as you put it 'super stressed and super pumped'. This book is funny, sciencey (science is not my field so it made me feel proper clever) and a great introduction to good mental health and mindfulness especially. Good luck http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sane-New-World-Taming-Mind/dp/1444755757/ref=sr_1_1/276-7923912-4810563?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1422926304&sr=1-1&keywords=sane+new+world+ruby+wax

*waves at you from Devon* Hope getting back on track is going well. I smashed by wrist to buggery - it's a medical term - a few years ago and what really helped me and still helps with stiffness and mobility is my Rubik's cube. You don't have to solve it although that is a good nerd skill to have just holding it in the injured hand and manipulating it all the ways it can be moved and with different fingers has helped my grip and mobility. This is a great guide to solving the cube. Very easy to follow and you'll look cool thereafter.

Still around, Bast?

How are you going? Hope the challenge is going well for you.

Vegetable curry. Swap out the potato for more sweet potato and serve with cauliflower rice for paleo goodness that everyone wants to eat. The recipe is for mild curry so if you like it hot add more masala paste and some chllis. This recipe makes a huge amount of curry so it's great for splitting into portions and freezing for when you need it. http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/775646/vegetable-curry-for-a-crowd

Pets are wonderful but not so loveable when they attack first thing. I have a huge main coon that likes everyone to be up and doing around 06:30. If it's not a paw in the face he walks over us until he's stood on both our heads at once and then starts yowling. Paleo is getting easier but I have to plan. When there's nothing prepared that's when I start thinking 'I'll just have a sandwhich, it won't matter just this once' and have to remind myself that 'just this once' leads to nowhere good. Swapped lattes for peppermint tea when I'm at a coffee shop. I think that's helping weight loss and general feeling better.

Last night I was asleep before midnight and slept until just after seven. I literally cannot remember the last time that happened. Feel shocked and properly happy. Hope everyone else is crushing it
