There's gonna be some posts and stuff here. Like workouts. Maybe some food pictures. Maybe some cat pictures. You know, that stuff. [Current Stats - 9/14/2015] [End of 2014 Stats - 12/22/2014]

So this challenge conveniently ends the day of a competition I just got a spot for. Go me! Now that I have my license, I’m feeling out how much work is going to impact the habit building I’ve been working on this last month. [Routine]Training: Weightlifting at least 4x week. Conditioning: Walk 2x/week.Eating: Follow the PR Pixie Diet Plan. Cleaning: Complete Habitica dailies every day. Complete 3 to-dos per week.Working: One paying session for solo massage business. [Tasks]Remove unused clothing.Go to a yoga class.Remove 1 box of items.File sole proprietorship paperwork.Open business che

At the beginning of this challenge, I will be finishing up classes and internship, and sending out the paperwork to get my massage therapist license. Thus, I will transition from an academic-based schedule to a “holy shit I’m actually doing this for real” schedule. Let’s do some things! Lift the things! Massage the people! Get a paycheck! [Routine]Training: Weightlifting at least 4x week. (Beginning after classes end, 7/30.)Conditioning: Walk 2x/week.Eating: Cook most meals. Avoid starchy-carbs (potatoes, rice) outside of workout/massage recovery periods.Cleaning: 15 minutes per day -

The main goal here is to survive various life stressors, keep (what is left of) my sanity until I get through the parts-that-suck, and make the most of the parts-that-rock. Of course, it wouldn’t be fun if all my life stressors didn’t encompass both suck/rockitude. These are:SchoolGymRelationship(s) I’m still a fan of the event/task/routine setup I started, so I’ll stick with that again this challenge. [Routine]Training: Weightlifting at least 3x week.Conditioning: Walk 1x/week. Non-class/Non-internship massage 1x/week.Eating: Cook most meals. Avoid starchy-carbs (potatoes, rice) outs

It’s strange how introducing just one new life change starts a whole series of other adjustments and changes. Near the end of the last challenge, I started massage therapy school, and I feel like I’ve barely had time to breathe sometimes since then. The introvert meter is being heavily taxed nearly every day. At night, I prep my lunch, pack my bags, and set out my clothes for the following day. I get up at 6:00 am. That’s right. I’m awake before the sun is, and it’s bullshit. But so far, I've been able to make it work. Anyway, this challenge is basically for me to attempt to ke

chammy is rebuilding 2014 was a bit of a roller coaster ride, with some incredible highs and extreme lows. However, it’s a new year - so I’m wiping the proverbial slate clean (and my measurement spreadsheet) and starting anew. Over the next 6 weeks, I will be working towards laying the foundation for a new future. Instead of the more traditional challenge structure - I will have a short list of items/habits to maintain for regular “everyday” life, and a list of tasks to complete and scheduled events. [Routine]Training: Weightlifting 4-5x/week. Mobility 15-20 minutes.Conditioning: Walk

I took a longer-than-intended break from exercising last challenge, and this has been created to address that. I’ve simplified my goals slightly, and removed some of the extra bloat - mostly the items that have become habits, or I have accepted the fact that my focuses are elsewhere for now. chammy reboots and transitions Lose 6cm from full body measurements.

Yoga 1x+ Personal shit: Work

Measurement loss appears to have slowed down a bit more, so I’ve adjusted that goal to slightly edge out the results of the previous challenge. I’ve been a little more lax diet-wise the last month or two, so that’s likely part of the change in rate of loss. I’ve also been skipping and making up workouts more than I like. Follow the damn schedule, chammy. >.> Loose goals: Lose 6cm from combined bust, underbust, waist, and hip measurements. Improve overall mobility/flexibility.

I acquired (and have been playing through) the new Tomb Raider. I’ve been enjoying the game so much, I’ve been inspired to base this challenge off it, and Lara Croft.
