DoubleOrNothing

Love this thread! I tried Tom's of Maine, but chucked it after my pits started smelling worse and then even got a minor chemical burn from it (ouch). Tried the Lush powder, but I had issues trying to apply it properly. Currently using 'pit putty' from Bumble and Bee. Some scents work better than others, but it's best so far. Must note though that it works best of freshly shaved pits vs. a day or more of stubble. On a side note, the skin in my pits has lightened a bit since I started using this stuff.

This is an interesting quest for me, as my problem is not parring down my wardrobe to things that fit me (both physically and style wise), but to actually ADD to my wardrobe. I need to take a look and evaluate what I actually need and go buy it

Definitely worth looking at (when you have some time Will start taking pictures soon. Something that I've never really done, because I'm not a fan of where I'm currently at, but it would be a great way to track change.

Sorry to hear about the work situation, just ran into one myself this weekend :/ Just keep looking forward to that blanket

Thanks! Glad to see you too I can definitely get obsessive.... I'm debating only measuring every couple of weeks, haven't quite decided yet... but of course, I should really get around to getting a starting measurement, lol I'm using the Goddess Haven course from Leonie Dawson's Amazing Biz and Life Academy. All about decluttering your space AND making it sacred and inspirational. Maybe those extra steps will keep the space decluttered this time

Glad to see that I'm not the only druid with some strength training in their goals love the bamboo analogy!

Best of luck with everything! Moves are difficult enough to manage on their own, and you'll be traveling as well... but you can do it!

I've decided against sharing the exact measurements publicly, but will be posting any increases/decreases that occur during this challenge. Mission 1: 2x weekly strength workouts - Beginner Body Weight Workout.3/12 Mission 2: 2x weekly yoga workouts lasting +15 minutes0/12really need to get on with this.

With finals happening towards the end of last challenge, things went downhill for me. I gathered a fair amount of bad habits (what? no, there is definitely not a mountain dew sitting in my fridge...) Now it's time to get things back together while I have a 4 month break from school (transferring to a school with a vastly different schedule). Bring it! Main Quest: Lose the flab! I don't have a scale, so I'll have to use measurements and pictures to keep track of this instead. Initial measurements will be taken soon. Mission 1: 2x weekly strength workouts - Beginner Body Weight Workout. I know this goal is not particularly druid-esque, but with the other goals that I have, it didn't make sense to me to switch to a different group. (+3STR, +2STA) Grading: 12/12 workouts = A, 10/12 = B, etc Mission 2: 2x weekly yoga workouts lasting +15 minutes (+2DEX, +1WIS, +1CHA) Grading: Same as above, 12/12 = A Mission 3: 1 serving of vegetables daily (+1STR, +1STA, +1CON) Grading: 42/42 = A, etc Life Side Quest: Clean the house! ​This will be partially accomplished by committing at least 10 mins/day to tidying up, following a house decluttering program I found, as well as before/after comparisons on how the house looks (these may or may not be shared...it's a bit of a disaster). (+1STR, +1STA, +1WIS) Grading: Whole house cleaned, approx 6 areas, A+, 5 areas cleaned B, 4 areas cleaned C, etc Motivation: I release habits that no longer serve my highest good. This is written in hot pink pen on an index card that sits right next to my laptop. Tracking: All habits will be tracked (completed/not completed) via an iPhone app called "Way of Life". Exact exercises will be tracked via fitocracy, and measurements will be written down, most likely here. Definitely excited for this challenge! Going to enter slots for the updates right away to make it easier for me to stay on track. Will update these weekly!

Thanks evenewbie! Going to have a 4 month break from school after next week to focus on myself and work. I'm very much looking forward to a bit of a break!
