Hi, I'm Terah, and I'm going to be an Elf Druid this challenge. It's been a year since I started here on NF, this is my 8th challenge. I've tried a lot of different things, learned a lot and met a lot of awesome people. Now I know what I want, and how to get there. I've made an epic quest that will be my guide this year. After being a recuit, a druid, an assassin, a warrior, again a warrior, an adventurer, going back to the assassins, I now decided to go back to the druids. I first left them because I didn't like that they didn't have mini's. But now the doodlies have mini's and that's enough for me. The new description of the duids sais "Each movement has a purpose, and that purpose is to further improve the dexterity, agility, and strength of the druid." And that really spoke to me. My training of choice is dancing, with some pilates and yoga on the side. Besides that I'm looking for more balance in my life. I'm hoping the duids will help me reach my goals. And why an Elf? I'm just a crazy hippie, and in my imagination Elf's are too Earth: Food On No S days 3 Meals a day, no seconds No sugar with breakfast S days 3 meals a day, no seconds Max 2 treats a day (a treat can be anything from a second serving at dinner, desert, or a cookie. It just has to be one resonable serving. For example just one piece of cake, not the wole cake) Fire: Fitness Work on my push ups and pul ups 3 times a week As discribed in my epic quest Water: KM'ing my home Spent 30 minutes each week KM'ing Air: Mental balance Create a to do list at least 5 times a week. Rewards: 90% 75%: Rituals bath oil 50%: Tea

Maintenance is the hardest part. I've got ~10lbs to re-lose; I want to increase my muscle mass and decrease my body fat percentage. If I don't succeed in losing any size/weight this challenge, I will have to start counting calories again, and I really don 't want to do that. Things: Activity (bodyweight workout + sledgehammer, cycling, swimming, etc) (4x per week) Stretching (4x per week) No S diet (no snacks 5x per week) Sleep by midnight (5x per week)Again I will keep my daily hits and misses to my battle log, and use this thread for general "how am I doing/feeling" updates, as well as cool things and thoughts. Fair warning: I am queer, agender, poly, and kinky. I will warn you if any content or links I share is NSFW, and put questionable stuff behind a cut.

I took the last challenge off, and am sliding back into bad habits. This challenge I'm going to track adherence to the No S Diet, and get back into stretching. I will not track how often I ride my bicycle, since it's a given at this point because I'll need the encouragement and will enjoy the visibility of how active I'm being!

Unchallenge time! I'm in a good groove with food and activity. I'm sticking with the No S-Diet, swinging my sledgehammer regularly, and doing bodyweight workouts. I'm hooping, swimming on a nearly regular basis (not laps, but not just messing around, either), walking home from the subway again now that the weather is lovely, and have been starting to lift weights thanks to a handy curbside find and encouragement from a big muscly friend. I'm doing rope on a pretty regular basis as a bottom, and am seeing progress in my stretches and balancing. I'm trying some new stuff to generate some extra income in addition to my day job. I'm too busy to add anything else, and between all of that plus a full-time job, being a parent, and a very, very full social schedule, any extras tend to fall off! So this is an unchallenge. I'll keep up with my battle log (World Conquest) for the daily updates, and will use this thread for general updates in regards to how things are going. If something shiny catches my eyes, I will give it a try and post here about how it went. Things I'd like to try: Climbing/boulderingParkourPoleAerial yogaPartner yogaCool new yoga posesTo see how many burpees I can do in a day/week Things I'm likely to be doing: Playing outside with my kidsPhotographyModellingRope!UKULELE ...
