Time to reset! The cold winter is gone (hopefully) and now its' Spring...the time of Birth and Creation! After a time of...destruction. Three guesses to whom my favorite senshi is and the first two don't count. This is a bit later in the game than usual but let's get this show on the road! This time I am here to...renew myself! Somewhat :P. I am BlackTezca, returning here, full of nostalgia and hope for May's challenge! You may remember me from not to long ago with my first pilot episode From Lurker to (Newb) Rebel!, along with the filler episodes of my life as documented in BlackTezca's Daily Battle Towards Feline Greatness and you have seen the latest season, this time very retro and if you're into the 1940s, filled with a ton of nostalgia known as BlackTezca's 11th Trial: An Artsy Geeky Amazon becomes a Badass Retro Agent of the SSR! I have noticed a lot of people doing anime based threads, like myself, and a lot of them doing the very awesome and extraordinarily lovable Sailor Moon! Now I know that we have a new series...and for the first two seasons (or first season...or something)...there may have been some... Issues. However the new season is out and I have been enjoying it so far! It is still a far different show than I am used to, but the return to subtle personality differences in characters, beautiful looking animation, and better pacing in the episode has me hopeful...most of all...they have introduced characters I have been wanting to see for a long time... The Outer Sailor Senshi! ESPECIALLY MY SICKLY LITTLE WORLD-ENDING BALL OF AWESOME SAILOR SATURN!!! WOOOOO!!!!! Thus I am basing my challenge specifically off of these sassy ladies :D. I somewhat lost my way the past few weeks when it came to my works due to craziness in my schedule and just overall feeling of stress and strain has kinda been taking the joy out of a few things, including exercise. However I have remembered that at least once I work out, I do tend to feel better. More relaxed, more calm, more accomplished. I want to keep that feeling up. Along with getting my workout schedule back, I also need to tend to myself and my health too; my shoulder has bugged me more than once so it's a return to stretching and healing so the pain is not as bad. The days are beautiful again, so I also need to enjoy the sunshine while it lasts as well continue my creating and my art. Finally...since it is Spring (at least...until the final storm), I also need to grow up just a tiny bit and work around the house. All these quests, just like all the challenges before...is in my ever lasting eternal quest...which we all will remember as... My Main Quest to be as POWERFUL and BATTLE READY as Wonder Woman With that said, I have procrastinated enough when it comes to make this challenge! Like I have no idea how long the placeholder has been or how long I have managed to keep this draft! Thus we need to get this show started and let's have some fun! Haruka is powerful and encourages regular bouts of athleticism. Details: Simple quest this time! I want to workout about 5 times a week, at least 30 minutes a day! This does not including stretching nor walks outside but does include Muay Thai and kickboxing cause that's a lot of hard work! Contingencies: Sickness and travel pretty much. Shouldn't be much like that going on though! Tracking: I'll be tracking the workouts using MyFitnessPal ( username BlackTezca ) and this lovely thread will be updated as well. Grading: A for Working out for at least 30 minutes 5 days a week ( 25 pt - 2 Sta 2 Str 2 Dex) B for Working out for at least 30 minutes 4 days a week( 20 pts - 1 Sta 2 Str 1 Dex) C for Working out for at least 30 minutes 3 days a week ( 15 pts - 1 Str 1 Dex ) F for all else Michiru is as soothing as the ocean and encourages flexibility and health Details: I need to...stretch more. I need to heal more. I need to not cause myself physical pain just because of stress and exhaustion. Essentially another return to regular cool down stretching or cool down practices so I don't have my shoulder giving out on me during strength training nor during sparring cause that sucks. Contingencies: I can stretch whenever, just for a little bit here and there. Also steam and hot baths can be good too. Tracking: I'll be tracking the stretching using MyFitnessPal ( username BlackTezca ) and this lovely thread will be updated as well. Grading: A for Cool down practices for at least 5 minutes 5 days a week ( 25 pt - 2 Sta 2 Dex ) B for Cool down practices for at least 5 minutes 4 days a week( 20 pts - 1 Sta 1 Dex ) C for Cool down practices for at least 5 minutes 3 days a week ( 15 pts - 1 Dex ) F for all else Setsuna had enough of watching the gate and is joining the outside world! Details: It's beautiful outside. Like it's finally getting prettier and prettier this May and I have decided to move beyond my office and my home to return to talking lovely walks in the sun. At least for a little bit to help clear my mind too :D. Contingencies: Well snow storm obviously. It is spring time in Colorado still. Tracking: I'll be tracking the walks using MyFitnessPal ( username BlackTezca ) and this lovely thread will be updated as well. Grading: A for outside walk for about 30 minutes 3 times a week ( 20 pt - 2 Sta 1 Con ) B for outside walk for about 30 minutes 2 times a week ( 15 pts - 2 Sta ) C for outside walk for about 30 minutes 1 time a week ( 10 pts - 1 Sta ) F for all else Hotaru destroys in order to bring about fruitful creation. Details: I'm not destroying my art, but Sailor Saturn seems to be the perfect fit for this quest! She is not only that soldier of Destruction but of Rebirth and her storyline and purpose as a Sailor Senshi shows this. My girl needs some attention though and I hope that in the new Sailor Moon series she gets the spotlight she truly deserves! A long with me spending time on my art like I need to. Contingencies: Busy weeks and weekends. However I have been making time for both model painting and my drawing so this should not be an issue :D.Tracking: I have an art Tumblr and I also have DeviantArt (WATCH ME FOR ACCOUNTABILITY). I shall use those and this thread to keep track. Grading: A for at least 30 minutes 4 to 5 days a week - 20 exp ( 2 Wis 1 Cha )B for at least 30 minutes 2 to 3 days a week - 15 exp ( 1 Wis 1 Cha) F for all else Chibusa wants to grow up and expects others to do the same! Details: SPRING CLEANING TIME! Not a fan (also not a fan of ChibiUsa), but I need to at least schedule a housework task for the week! Laundry, trash, dishes, vaccuuming, something! I usual do some housework, but I think having something to track with a grade will keep me motivated! Contingencies: Travel would be the only one. But I can at least take out the trash once a week or something Tracking: I'll be tracking the house using MyFitnessPal ( username BlackTezca ) and this lovely thread will be updated as well. Grading: A for one housework task complete per week ( 10 pt - 1 Cha ) F for all else Finally have my challenge set up and complete! Thank goodness it's zero week! Should be pretty straight forward of a challenge, especially with some of the rehashing! Let's see on some starting measurements to begin and hopefully improve! Starting Measurements: Date: 05/07/2016 Weight: 130 ***Body Fat***: 21% Waist: 23 Waist @ Navel: 23.5 Hips: 35 Neck: 12 Chest: 32 Left Bicep:11.5 Right Thigh:16.5 Wrist: 5.5 Forearm: 9 We're ready to go! The sun is shining, my body is ready to get back into my schedule (and not let life slip it out) and also aching for some stretching and some stress relief! I have a few things I need to work on art wise and also a house that needs some TLC now and again! Everything is planned out for another successful challenge in May! Now let's fall in love with the New Moon (at least it better keep being a fun, well-paced show) and lets' renew ourselves after a (pro-longed) winter! Saturn planet power make up!! I'm also curious on why black/purple and pink go so well together. Love this image though. *** ***Awesome Summaries Index*** Week 1 Summary Week 2 Summary Week 3 Summary Week 4 Summary Challenge Summary
