Lanier looked around the training hall. The others seemed so much more adept than herself at just about everything. She tried to look away and focus on her ale. The others made the journey seem daunting but, she smiled, exciting too. Would she really want to join the guild and train once more if she didn't feel outclassed and outcast? Would she even bother if she didn't feel like the underdog? Probably not. It would have to be a challenge. A seemingly unsurmountable challenge for her to pick up her cloak and journey from her home to here, in this den of unsavory others. They with their steely glances and dragons and strength and skills. She was a blank slate to them and she liked it that way. Hmph, question would be whether to keep it that way. To keep to her own status quo or find a new one. At the bottom of her ale she found that it wasn't so much the new status quo she was seeking but herself deep within. Now she glanced up and found the inn filled with comrades. People she could come eye to eye with. Mow she could train. Finishing off her ale she stood, turning and throwing her cloak open to reveal her side arms, and tossing her mug against the wall behind her. It grew quiet for a moment, a lull, and then chaos ensued as soul for soul brawled for their worth in this mangy dusty den of an inn. With a bloodied curled lip and a smile she walked from the brawl to begin. This is the second challenge that is part of a 90 reboot. I started out depressed, backsliding from progress I had been making and without any reliable metrics. While I didn't carry out my challenge the way I thought I would, I learned quite a lot. From day 1: my 'fat' pants were tight, my mood was awful, and my BMI was 25. Now: Bf%33.1 BMI:24.3 Pants size: slightly comfortable My main goal is to drop that BMI to around 22. I will do this by sticking to a low fat diet with low goiterogen content,(which I also need to lower my cholesterol) monitoring honestly what I eat using myfitnesspal, And exercising at least three times a week. I am loving doubles, cycling and yoga, bodyweight and yoga, HIIT and breathing. I will also take my flonase twice a day since apparently allergies make my oxygen deplete. I find breathing very useful for weight loss. Side quest: pull up without assist- I am at about 60lbs of assist and have added negatives and hangs at the monkey bars. Side quest: splits-some days better than others. Still have a long way to go. Yoga is helping lengthen my tight hamstrings and ligaments. I am trying to include about 5-10 minutes of stretching each day. However long until my knees begins to complain. Life quest: Pay off debt. Dave Ramsey baby step 2. Probably 2more years but with summer work travel heating up, I hope to make good progress. I could use some more myfitnesspal buddies if anyone wants to add me. I am lanielouo0 on MFP.
