Previously on Everstorm Re-Forged: I have completed one fire weight-loss) cycle and am currently in a tempering (maintenance/recovery) cycle that will end the morning after Easter. It does not beautifully coincide with NF timings, but here we are. So, weeks 0-2 will be continued maintenance and weeks 3-5 will be the start of the next round of weight-loss. Instead of having two sets of goals, however, I will try to make ones that will apply to both phases. Goal 1: Stay within my calorie limits. The actual quantity will change with different phases, but I know what the limits are and I need to stick to them. Goal 2: Stretch for 10 minutes every day in the gym. The idea is to build a daily gym habit, even though I will only follow-up stretching with a gym workout every other day. My hope is to 1) grease the groove a bit and remove a barrier to getting in the gym and 2) have an easy habit to fall back to when I am sick/injured/roll in poison ivy and need to back down from full workouts without losing the gym habit. Goal 3: Draw weekly (or more) I had considered doing Camp NaNoWriMo in April, but I think I am enjoying pursuing my art right now. I want to keep working on the Inktober52 challenge and also...I have been commissioned to do an ink drawing for actual real dollars. My mother showed someone the hawk I did for Inktober and they offered to pay me to do a great horned owl in the same style. So I need to work on that.
