Posted Today, 09:52 AM I think this month month marks a year that I have been here. Though I did not do the last 6 week challenge, I have been plugging along by myself. I have dropped 50 lbs since last August and I have another 44 lbs to go. To be honest I am struggling most days. I have been in a bit of a mental funk, the seasons are changing, we are going into winter here in Australia. I always want to eat more in winter. I am also on a tight budget so going out, movies, etc. is off the books, I must find entertainment at home. That leaves me with computer games, watching shows (YAY GoT is back!) and housecleaning... So I have been playing a bit of Runescape, my husband I met on this game like 11 years ago, but I have been finding myself not logging in and instead getting on FB and spending all my free time there (which is WAYYYY too much) I find myself agitated and depressed. I need a hobby but have no room in the budget for a hobby so this makes sense. So my side quest will be to actually relax and play Runescape in my free time. My husband, hose mate, and a few other friends play so that should make it easier. Main Quest- My main quest is to lose 44 lbs of fat and transform the shape of my body, especially my legs and butt through weight training. I have some cute clothes that I would love to be able to wear. I live right next to the beach and a friend bought me the cutest swimsuit a couple years ago and I have yet to wear it. Phoe-B has this as her Boss Battle which I really like. This is my Boss Battle as well. My goal for the next 6 weeks is to lose at least 12 lbs of fat. Daily Quests- 1. Do my daily training which consists of weight training 4 x a week upper/ lower split and metabolic circuits 2 x a week and walks on the beach thrown in wherever, these are more therapeautic then anything. I have anxiety issues and I was going to the gym in the middle of the night but it was messing up my work schedule so I have started training at home. I have a very basic gym in my garage, free weights, bench, squat rack, fit ball etc. I struggle with this daily, on days I feel better I want to go to the gym, but the rest of the time I want to hide in my house. lol 2. Eat according to my goals. My calorie level changes according to results. No big changes, just small incremental changes. I make sure I am in a calorie deficit and I track everything in Myfitnesspal. Current Macros goals are: Protein- 135 Carbs- 140 Fat- 40 FIBER- 25 This is one is the one I need to concentrate on the most and I usually only hit 11-15 3. Mindset- This is key for me, mine has just been bad, I have a bad attititude and generally feel like I hate everything. lol I really hope I can change this, its better then it was but I have better days and then a few really bad days. I catually have a couple of mindset books pertaining to my goals that are meant to be read daily so I will start with one of those. Side Quest- Spend my free time on anything other then Facebook! Get on Runescape and actually play and build my character. I enjoy it when I actually play. It takes my mind out of the constant circles it normally runs in. Also come on here and cheer my fellow rangers on in their endeavors! I'll add pics and such later.
