Don’t call it a comeback~ ( Hey Noctis took like 10 years ok, I’ve only been dormant for a few months. ) NERD FRIENDOS!!! Hello, it is me, your caps lock hyperbole Ranger, coming back from a short hiatus of Doing the Thing on my own to continue Doing the Thing here, with you, better, harder, faster. It’s good to be home. <3 ANYWAYS in true Shaar fashion my quests are quite customized to my current Obsession du Jour - HEH you thought it was gonna be FFXIV, right? Or maybe Persona 5?? Aaactually I had this challenge written up for a few months ago but I never used it, and I’m still over the moon for this stupid game, so I’m gonna roll with it and jump back in head first with my wonderful Chocobros to lead my way. EYES PEELED, MOUTH CLOSED LET’S DO THIS. __gladiolus amicitia______ less bitching, more killing. Gladio is the king’s shield and bodyguard. He’s also my favorite character - tough as nails, he takes no shit (and has no qualms telling you how he really feels), thrives on the fight and never hesitates to be the first into the fray. He also reads in the car and does one armed pushups at camp and loves being outdoors and has a gruff sense of sass-mastery and LOVES CUP NOODLES (I’m sure they’re great for macros maybe ok). He definitely fits into the ‘protector’ trope which I also feel I fall into, so that’s probably why I like him best. He’s also HELLA STRONG and I need to tighten up my lifting routine. SERIOUSLY. I’ve been struggling lately with a decent weight loss and eating to support my new status quo, and it’s been shaking up my lifting routine. Right now I’m looking to stick in the gym at LEAST twice a week without burning myself out. A - 2+ lifting days weekly B - 1 lifting day weekly F - Get rekt kid ____ignis scientia______ you can remain awake long enough to eat. Ignis is the chief strategist of the royal family and is Noctis’ personal advisor and right hand man. He’s fills out the ‘brains of the party’ role really well, and having grown up alongside Noct, has assumed a sort of caretaker position towards the prince. He is also your designated driver for the majority of the game and cooks up some MEAN ASS FOOD when you camp, and also discovers lots of recipes along the way. Ignis goes hand in hand with Gladio here (teehee); I need to start logging my food again. Not going to work towards anything numbers-wise, just track, and see where I’m at currently, and where I can improve. A: 7 days a week within tracking parameters B: 6 days a week within tracking parameters F: 5 days a week (or less) ___prompto argentum_____ i’m toootally into chocobos!.... don’t take that the wrong way. Prompto is Noctis’ best friend and the fun-loving life of the party. He loves chocobos, puns, shootin’ things, and most importantly, taking pictures. Prompto takes lots of candid shots of your journey that you can save and share and it’s pretty much the best thing ever. HE’S SO ADORABLE AND HAPPY BLESS HIM Here is my social quest. POST HERE. I’ve fallen off the forums a bit but I realize how much I’ve missed hanging with you guys, you are my friends, and that means the world to me. So; be present. A: Post 5+ times weekly B: Post 3-4 times weekly F: Dude where are you? ___noctis lucius caelum________ no time to stop. we keep moving. Noctis is the main character and playable hero of the game, a prince that’s on a road trip with his friends/guards/groomsmen to go get married and have adorable hijinks with on the way. He really grows into his role and starts to shoulder more and more responsibility along the way; eventually through the storyline he begins to collect the Royal Arms, a variety of weapons used by kings of old. For this challenge I’ll channel Noctis to be my “collection crew” - to keep track of the little things and my weekly to-do lists to make sure everything gets done. This list will be a hodgepodge of things I will assign myself at the start of each challenge week, so it will change weekly and will include but is not limited to - multiple mobility sessions, epsom salt baths, mental check-ins, cleaning/organizing, and other tasks that pop up and need to be dealt with. A: Weekly tasks completed B: Over half of weekly tasks completed F: Less than half of weekly tasks completed PHEW OK I THINK I'M READY!! Onward to greatness, teamwork styyyyle!

hi everyone! this is my first challenge as an adventurer and my comeback after an epic fail.....glad to be back! Ive been fighting a major depression and quit my former career as a freelancing socialworker. Now I just started working parttime as a teacher for cello at a music school. ( being a classical musician was my first career during my 20s. I hadnt touched the Cello for almost 20 years) After being at home for months it will be important for me to find a new structure and to fit working for my goals into the day without being overwhelmed. Main Goal: LOSE WEIGHT/GET FIT ( Starting weight: 125kg currently: 102,9 kg. Goal: 80kg ) for this challenge I will have 4 action goals: RUN FROM DEPRESSION run a 5k race on mai 10th and get to the finishline in under 40 minutes. GET STRONG read The New Rules of Lifting for Women and complete stage 1. LOSE IT eat according to plan GET STUFF DONE write a detailed plan for each day to get work, fitness, practising Cello, meals and fun organized will add more details soon. cheers! run away from Depression/ get strong for the first two goals i made a workout plan easing into lifting and prepping for the race at the same time. i will reflect after each week in case i need to adapt. each week counts as done or fail. the one workout ill do with a trainer is bootcamp. a mixture of crossfit and running which i started last summer. it is a hell of a workout and i want to keep it in my schedule. (will need to find a way to copy and paste my plan to this post..... i dont have word.....argghhhh) have finished reading the new rules of lifting book today. its awesome! week 1 monday: bootcamp or short run if trainer is taking time off ( school holidays) tuesday: rest wednesday: long run/ intervalls thursday: short run/sprints friday:rest saturday rest lose it means: to eat clean food, not over 1800 cal. ( i counted the meals on mfp this week and if i stick to the right portions i will lose). apart from a visit to a great bio- burger place on easter, im not eating out. i have followed an easy mealplan focusing on protein, not eating sugar ( apart from honey and fruit) and am steadily losing weight. so ill keep it. breakfast: two slices of wholewheat toast, butter and cheese or peanutbutter and honey, coffee with milk lunch: 500g yoghurt with berries and seeds snack: two hard boiled eggs, 30g cheese or protein shake dinner: salat or grilled veggies with added fish or meat ( chicken, steak) or hardboiled eggs or cheese 1 glass of dry wine after dinner Points are given per week and ill count my behavior ( not eating out, eating unprocessed food and portion size, not the number on the scale. exeption: if i have gained weight or not lost anything i will count the goal as fail after 6 weeks. get stuff done im working with google calendar to create a weekly plan every sunday of where i need to be and what has to be done. just started writing daily plans on paper with the details of the chores and times when to do them. it feels awesome and i want to make it a habit! i can do this! *waves exited*
