There's also Offer's Dyke walk, which passes from England to Wales several times, and has some nice views

Hey! From what I've gathered and learnt myself, if you don't have any joy in it, it's not sustainable, and therefore not something that you should really be pursuing. Perhaps doing it with a group of people will make it more enjoyable, and therefore give you the motivation and support system? Or try and change what you're doing? Don't force yourself on a treamill, go for a walk in the hills, or join a martial arts class, or start parkour, or swim, etc. These things might all be a lot more fun for you, and encourage you to keep going and developing yourself. From this, to get stronger, you might then be motivated to do the boring stuff. I run 5ks on the weekend with the family to increase my stamina, so I can spend longer dancing. I do yoga routines to increase my flexibility so I can beat my sister. I do bodyweight workouts so I can become better at parkour. So there's two options, try to reframe your mindset so it's not about the reps but about the goal, or ditch it and try something else that will help an equal amount. Hope this helps! Best of luck in your journey.

I've got two weeks and then exam season hits me on the 17th, with three exams on the first three days. Also, coursework due in on Monday, and I've only just finished producing the project. Still need to do the Making Diary and Evaluation.

My exams are in two weeks, so I am totally up for it! I'm always here if you need someone to talk to. <3 Good luck! I've officially entered exam month, with the first one on the 18th. And still my revision is lacking. The procrastinators struggle. :/ Coursework on track to finish by Friday, though I do need to do a lot more for it.

She screamed and charged and charged and screamed, when her foot suddenly caught on a piece of loose rubble. She tripped, arms flailing wildly, when her momentum was stopped with her axe in the monster's singular eye. It screamed and thrashed, and Safrye was thrown to the side, armour barely abdorbing the impact. But she had won! With a victorious smile, she waited till the monster truly died, then pulled her axe out, swinging it onto her shoulder and sauntering out the cave into the bright sunlight. And that would be the beginning of Safyre the Angry's saga, if there were more monsters for her to fight ...

I got home and had a nap, then relaxed with some Dragon Age. Dt coursework fun happened at school, but being at home is so unproductive for me. But this was really fun, thank you @Schaengel!!! Really motivated me to get off my arse and do some stuff. I'm ready for a rematch at any time Also open to others to battle me and see me win or lose.

Safyre screamed wildly as she chopped and hacked at the tentacles, feeling her arms begin to burn fiercely. She hadn't gone through such a ringer in so long, unable to truly find her match. Then a whooshing sound came from above her head and she leaped out the way, trying to roll to safely. Unfortunately, the rock and wood underfoot bruised her back, and shards of the flagstone ripped at her skin. Safyre screamed again and started to run forwards, battleaxe held above her as she went to take the monster's eye.

Do we both die or live....

It was a distinct not-scream that came loose from Safyre's mouth as the monster only redoubled in attacking her, limbs flailing in a chaotic drawing that she couldn't see, on account of her being rather concentrated on the blocks of loose rock and wood that was flying towards her. Very quickly, she was starting to get a stitch on her side, and regretted choosing such a heavy weapon for her barbarian training.

To be honest, I only did my DT because of this The pile of books on my side is only growing, which is counterproductive, but it will be dealt with. Also good/bad news. Managed to get a nice job, however, its just more a time suck, and I've got to deal with Education Schemes, coursework, and the exams in a month. I can feel my mind fracturing.

There was no answer to her rather polietly worded request, and Safyre jumped backwards with a yell, hacking down at the tentacles that came her way. "I will reign victorious!" Safyre the Angry's Goal for the Week Work on maths for 25+ minutes ever day (1/5) Work on DT coursework 25+ minutes every day (1/5) Organise and clean all subject folders (0/1) Ended up doing a lot of sawing and lathing for DT during lunch, which was great fun, and then maths as I got home. Half a Decision paper, and the plan is to do statistics tomorrow. Hopefully we achieve a stalemate at the end!

This is going to be my pretend Challenge post, as I don't actually have one. I do have a diary and a bullet journal in reality, but I can comment on NF specific things here. Eg the Virtual Race thats being pllaned, or the PvP I've set up with Schangel.

So, Schaengel and I have organised a PvP with each other, to hopefully motivate use to get off our asses and start working. We'll be following a little Terry Pratchett inspired character themes, and we hope you'll enjoy watching our little activity! Also, I think we've both happy to accept PvPs for the future on different themes, so hit me up if you're interested in doing one with me!

Study PvP From the entrance of the cave, Safyre the Angry heard such strange noises, and pulled out her battleaxe, hoping that this was a monster the conservation groups would never hear of, allowing her to test her mettle against a worthy opponent! One, two, one, two, she started to race down the hall, axe swinging above her head as she cried out a thunderous war cry, "For Discworld!" Then as she came closer to the creature, she skidded to a stop, a thought striking her (they did so very rarely, so Safyre had learned to pay attention when they did). "You're not protected by any sort of committee, are you?"

I think mine took a stroll as well. It dissapeared at the same time as my energy and enthusiasm. As for apps, I think there's memrise and duolingo, though I haven't really used either myself. Sorry I can't be more help. :/

Nah, I'm doing Alevels, so the qualifications before university in England. Currentyl doing maths, physics, dt, and philosophy&ethics. Fingers crossed that I go study physics and philosophy at uni.

WAIT WHAT HI Edit : Okay so i'm not going to just leave it at that but hi?? I didn't know this was a thing that existed? Of course it would NF is amazing. I'm bingewatching it and am currently at ep27 and I really want to catch up to the point where I'm watching it on twitch (even if I live in England so I would be up at 3, but Matt Mercer is so worth it).

Ooh the python thing sounds terrible. I'm only just learning via CodeCademy, perhaps head to something like that to learn from the basics? Also yeah, got my Alevels in about 7 weeks, coursework due in just over a month, failing fitness and mental health, and I'm scared to death I'm going to fail these exams yet its coming up so quickly yet I'm still not doing anything? Basically I need to be kicked every day to get some work done so I don't end up screaming into my pillow every night out of frustration. While I took a step back from NF in February because I couldn't keep up with the forums + real life, I'm going to slowly integrate myself back in as I did find it really useful.

These days are full of ups and downs, and I'm just so tired of everything atm. Decent day at school, then it gets more stressful at home when I face the piles of homework, and that just causes me to reject it and procrastinate, causing it to pile up even further. My revise challenge is supposed to be combating that, but I need to do it as soon as I get it (which I know is old knowledge), so I'm going to try and work and that and resist the urge to scream at life. Move Got home and then left soon after to do a 3k walk with a family friend. I was walking well, even up the steeper slopes, which I'm quite proud of. I've noticed that my speed (time to complete a mile) is decreasing, which is always positive affirmation. Stretch Got home and stretched off the pain, which felt good, and then had a nice long shower. Revise So stressed about the stats test that I have to give in first period tomorrow which I haven't yet done and I feel terrible about it, but what can you do. Something to improve on in the future. Reflect Didn't happen today, I just couldn't concentrate on the bus. I want this to become a priority in my life, but I'm struggling with everything else. Perhaps, for next challenge, I could do duolingo on the bus, and do the reflection time elsewhere. But I need to figure the second part out now, as I'm struggling with it. Perhaps when I get home, instead of checking my phone first. We shall see tomorrow.

I'm going to end up following a similar pattern as last time- though unoriginal it still worked. Today was kind of a bummer for starting off the new challenge, by getting food poisoning by drinking half a pint of gone-off milk in the morning. I thought it was the raw bananas in the smoothie, but nope. Not a good way to start. /sigh Move None today. Tomorrow is going to be alright as I'm going out for a walk with a friend, so that will motivate me, but afterwards, I need a plan. I noticed that my problem today was an unwillingness to change into my exercise clothes to then go and exercise, and I wasn't about to do it in my day clothes or my pjs. So, I think for Wednesday, what I'm going to have to do is change as soon as I get home, and that'll get me off my butt and moving. Stretch I do a lot of twisting randomly throughout the day, but no concentrated effort to stretch, so it therefore doesn't count. To get around this, its just going to have to happen when I exercise (either before or after), and that's whats going to happen. Revise Yep! One of my lessons was canceled today, so I spent the entire hour doing maths revision - which sucked and hurt my head, but I ended up all the better for it. Though I'm going to have to do some more on circles and roots, before going back and rewriting my totally messy notes from the beginning of the year so I actually have something to revise from. Maths paper tomorrow, and an RS essay, so that's going to be fun! Reflect I don't know how well just doing a devotional is. In the morning I'm too tired to try to think about it, and on the way home its also often too noisy to concentrate. However, even if I move when I do the devotional, I still want to do something productive with my time on the bus, as I realise how much of a waste it actually is. Tbh, I think I want my devotionals to be detailed enough that I'm taking notes and actively praying, which I can't do on a bus. That means I have to do it at home, which is when I am less likely. Perhaps reading the relevant sections on the bus, and then going over them again when I get home?

We're all here for you! Maybe there won't be an immediate success story, maybe it'll take a year, or two, or three, but keep persevering. Feel free to hit me up if you need someone to badger at any moment - I'm never busy, or if you want another push to encourage you to do something. But yeah, take it slow, one step at a time, and feel free to mourn and get angry at the step backs that you take - that's better than feeling nothing. Then use that emotion to fuel you and take another step forwards, and eventually I'm sure you'll reach your goal!

Going to echo this, and ask how you plan on attacking each of these goals? For your sleep, break it down into smaller subsections, which will eventually lead to earlier sleeping. Eg, switching off your phone at xyz time. Try approaching them from different angles? Instead of attacking the wall again with brute force, see if you can't climb over it or around (idk that metaphor was really bad I'm sorry) Definitely a sign!

That's so cool! Serious respect for being able to take such a journey half-way around the entire globe. <3 I should probably do something similar, but it takes 20 seconds of courage for me to phone, I'm just too shy

Beautifully written and really thoughtful challenges as well! Though it seems like there's a lot staring at you in the face, you'll persevere. Even if you fail, that's the best way of learning, and it's only by learning that you improve!

Yay! How's the two different Journal's working? Also, sounds like you've got quite a few ideas and goals on your plate! I know that you'll get through them. Take it a moment at a time, and don't forget to breathe. <3

Thanks! I know that I can beat myself up really badly if I do that pass/fail thing, but if I'm not careful, I will try and make plenty of wiggle room for myself. So clear boundaries does it for me. As for the attribute points, that was just a thing that they dropped (which I'm kinda sad about) but it's sort of fun to see how those numbers go up, and is also really helpful for me to get a 'balanced' sort of Challenge, instead of just all Strength or all Wisdom, but I'm progressing over all as well. Yep! I've actually noticed a lot more about my body and the way that I move etc from what you've told me, which is really interesting. Your welcome! I knew that I would have to get it up immediatly, or I would just loose all momentum.
