In any good alliance you need to be able to relate to, and understand your allies. Khajiit and Bosmer, working together. Apparently not as different as they look! This round I want to do a few things that involve more body-weight fitness, natural movement, and general health maintenance as I continue my board-study preparation. My goals will largely be focused on balance and getting needs met more than trying to make leaps and bounds in upping any strength metrics or something. Struggling to keep focused and on task is hard enough given I have to study for between 10-12 hrs a day/7 days a week. Oof. >.< This will have a little mix (some may share an assassin-y vibe or druid-y vibe), but I am still with you guys! Check on my updates/ramblings here: Khajiit Lady Log Task #1: Integrating in Grahtwood: Improvement on posture, movement, general body conformation Elven Posture because computers too long is bad! Do these exercises at least x1/day Natural Squat - do for increasing increments (can be split into multiple segments) Week 1 = 10 min a day Week 2 = 15 min a day Week 3 = 20 min a day Week 4 = 30 min a day Go on a walk all days not going to the gym at least 20-min each day (x4-6 walks/week) Plank 1 min each day Task #2: Keeping up in Greenshade Maintaining stamina and strength Gym x3 a week 15 min cardio (minimum) x3 sets of 2-3 weights (overhead press, dumbbell rows, bench press, deadlift, squat, curl all acceptable) 1 min dumbbell plank rows Task #3: Staying Sharp in Malabal Tor Staying on-task with studying and preparation; maintaining good mental health and well-being Awake by 7:30 AM; Asleep by 11:30 PM Mindfulness exercise (do in morning or before bed for 5 min) Reach at least 75% water consumption on Plant Nanny ~~~~ 5/09 Pre-Challenge Check In * Task 1: Did well with walking (did not miss a day that whole week!) and did a decent job doing my squat-sits. * Task 2: Only did Gym 2/3 of what I should have, which I'll amend in the coming weeks. * Task 3: Need to be better about the sleep/wake stuff. Really a struggle for me, as I finish studying between 10-11 PM at night, and want to do something else before sleeping. I also tend not to actually start working on study stuff till 9AM (after waking at 7)..which might help with that. Need to focus more earlier! Also need to be better about my water tracking.

Struggling to maintain all of the things, and to record adequately. I am going to stop making the plank a part of this and I think for now will give myself a break on sleep schedule because it keeps changing depending on my needs. Too many things to do this challenge To address the recording gaps I am going to start doing DAILY logging on NF via my battle log, so that might help? Also keep open my excel sheet so I can easily access it. Also started a sheet to track my weigh-training progression will let you know how it looks at the end of the challenge!
