Kestrel Grey Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 Hey, it's my 13th challenge! It is scary how fast they go by. There are many goals and desires that I am mentally juggling this month. For my sanity, it is becoming important to keep most of them in the "I want to do this" category and not the "I have to do this" category, so I pared this challenge cycle down to just two things. 1. Lose 1% body fat 2. Keep the habit of exercise My first goal is based on my desire to eventually get to 20% body fat (hopefully sometime next spring?) This is a "must" category not just for vanity, but to make me a better athlete and to help me sort out some digestion problems along the way. I have a food plan written up for the next five weeks and I will stick to it. My second goal is a "must" as well. By keeping the habit of exercise, I mean that I will do either my GMB Elements workout or my physio+bodyweight workout six mornings a week, as soon as I have had my morning tea. I set this as my priority because of an article written by Jacob on his blog. It talks about what four things are required for someone to make a change, and though he is talking about changing from a consumer lifestyle it applies just as well to changing to a fit lifestyle. My main barrier to becoming a fit athlete is the perceived cost. I think it will be hard. I don't like being uncomfortable. I hate feeling foolish or weak. All things that exercise makes me feel from time to time. By making simple at-home workouts a habit, I attack this barrier from two directions. First, I lower the level of discomfort by reducing any mental strain of deciding when and whether to exercise, and make sure that it gets done when I have energy. And second, I raise my ability to withstand discomfort through repeated low levels of exposure. In other words, I only now realised that the more I do something the easier it gets. There are a couple events that will make this challenge a little more exciting. First, I'll be going to Halifax in a week to visit an old friend. I have already updated her on my exercise commitment and she is willing to encourage me (read: not let me have breakfast until I am done). Second, the hot weather and frequent heavy smoke is playing havoc with my headaches/asthma/energy so I am excited to have it clear out soon (I hope). I have an early birthday hike planned for October 5th and I am praying it won't be cancelled due to forest fires. That's it! I'll post my starting BF% tomorrow, and I'll check in every couple days, even if only for a few quick words. 2 Quote Current Challenge: The Cliffs of Insanity Previous Challenges: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13, #14, #15, #16, #17, #18, #19, #20, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25, #26, #27, #28, #29, #30, #31, #32, #33, #34, #35 Battle Log: Operation Fly-By-Night “Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.” ― Neil Gaiman Link to post

And the smoke and heat are much better today. Summer has come to a sudden and tragic demise; on Monday it was 30C and sunny, like every day before it all summer. Today it is suddenly dropped to freezing and drizzle/snow. Everyone at work is complaining but I am ecstatic that the air is clean and fresh, for the first time in months!

Kestrel Grey Posted September 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Week 0 - Tuesday and Wednesday Tuesday went well despite some changes with my work shifts. Three people called in sick to different labs, so I ended up driving all over the city, filling in where I was most needed for a few hours at a time (I'm one of the few people comfortable at all the hospitals). I did eat half a chocolate macaroon from the staff room but skipped the rice with my dinner to balance it out. Wednesday nearly derailed because of an early morning appointment, followed by my boss texting to ask if I could come in an hour early. I had to swap my scheduled Week 2 Elements workout for the Week 1 workouts (they are about 10 minutes shorter) in order to squeeze it in. I tried to talk myself out of doing one at all but happily that whiny voice was easy to ignore today. In other news, my hubby gets back from Halifax tomorrow. I am glad to have him home. Morning exercising will be a little more embarrassing though... I'm not sure I want him silently judging me as I practise scampering like a monkey or lumbering like a bear. 2 Quote Current Challenge: The Cliffs of Insanity Previous Challenges: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13, #14, #15, #16, #17, #18, #19, #20, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25, #26, #27, #28, #29, #30, #31, #32, #33, #34, #35 Battle Log: Operation Fly-By-Night “Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.” ― Neil Gaiman Link to post

Week zero - Thursday Considering the day ended with candy, scones and ice cream, it didn't go too badly. My morning routine was solid. I exercised, ate a good breakfast, and prepped a good lunch. It was my day to bring in treats to work and I chose scones, very carefully adding an unsweetened pumpkin scone in with all the sugary glazed ones. Here is where the happy story ends though. After the day crowd left, there was one apple caramel scone remaining, staring at me as I worked on through the evening. So I ate it. And then, because I was feeling miserable already from my cold, I dug into the candy drawer when the sugar crash hit. On the plus side it shouldn't have done much damage after a healthy start to the day so I am not going to dwell on it too much. My cold feels like it is getting better, or at least not getting worse. Since I have to fly on Saturday I hope it stays that way! Flying with swollen sinuses is awful. 2 Quote Current Challenge: The Cliffs of Insanity Previous Challenges: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13, #14, #15, #16, #17, #18, #19, #20, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25, #26, #27, #28, #29, #30, #31, #32, #33, #34, #35 Battle Log: Operation Fly-By-Night “Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.” ― Neil Gaiman Link to post

Great Ranger adaptability switching it out for a shorter routine. I know what you mean about feeling a bit silly.

Kestrel Grey Posted September 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 I'm in Halifax this week, loving all my geeky friends out here and having a good time, so I probably won't check in much until next Sunday. Food will be interesting as I am mostly eating whatever my friend cooks. We will be doing lots of walking, and we're going to an escape room tomorrow, and much sushi will be had. The friend I am staying with is interested in getting back into shape, so we are doing the Elements workouts together in the mornings. Wish me luck not gaining weight... I'll weigh in when I get home. 2 Quote Current Challenge: The Cliffs of Insanity Previous Challenges: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13, #14, #15, #16, #17, #18, #19, #20, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25, #26, #27, #28, #29, #30, #31, #32, #33, #34, #35 Battle Log: Operation Fly-By-Night “Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.” ― Neil Gaiman Link to post

Kestrel Grey Posted September 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Hi all, I am back from my East Coast adventures! I am happy and fat and had my board game quota filled for the year, so I am excited to get back to my fitness goals. We must have worked our way through all the best restaurants in Halifax. It was good to see old friends, and even if I didn't make physical gains while I was away, I am sure that I made mental ones. I met up with one old friend that I hadn't seen in two years; last time I saw her, she was struggling with weight gain after quitting smoking, random health issues, and perimenopause. She looks great! She has gone vegan and developed a whole new chill outlook, and it is doing wonders for her. Another friend has been cigarette-free for a year now, and a third quit his job to get a much better one elsewhere. It makes me happy and optimistic about tackling my own goals to see everyone doing so well. Tomorrow is my weigh-in. I likely put on some fat this week but nothing I cannot handle. As awesome as my trip was, it is good to back home. I have "new challenge" energy all over. 1 Quote Current Challenge: The Cliffs of Insanity Previous Challenges: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13, #14, #15, #16, #17, #18, #19, #20, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25, #26, #27, #28, #29, #30, #31, #32, #33, #34, #35 Battle Log: Operation Fly-By-Night “Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.” ― Neil Gaiman Link to post
Kestrel Grey Posted September 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 The damage from last week's Halifax trip: 27.7% body fat (up 0.6%). Not what I wanted, but I can work with it.

Kestrel Grey Posted September 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Happy Thursday! Checking in, though I don't have much to report for my challenge. I am mostly back on plan. I did have a cupcake yesterday. It was homemade rich chocolate with buttercream icing and I didn't even feel bad about eating it. Okay, I felt a little bad, but I skipped a meal so my calories worked out. Non-challenge update: I have finished Love Languages (thanks all for the recommendation) and talked it over with my hubby. He agrees with it. I am almost confident enough in both past-tenses in Spanish to move on to the future tenses, and I have started working my way through a children's novel in Spanish. I finally got up the nerve to send a research proposal to my boss, now I am awaiting the reply. The book on parrot training is going slowly. My pre-birthday hike is planned and confirmed by at least 4 people so we meet the minimum requirements for hiking in bear country. And I am about half-way through my current math textbook.

It is an interesting realisation how many of my reactions over the years, which seemed reasonable at the time, were really just unnecessary worrying. One of my non-challenge goals is to start meditation practise in October to see what it provides for me. 2 Quote Current Challenge: The Cliffs of Insanity Previous Challenges: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13, #14, #15, #16, #17, #18, #19, #20, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25, #26, #27, #28, #29, #30, #31, #32, #33, #34, #35 Battle Log: Operation Fly-By-Night “Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.” ― Neil Gaiman Link to post
Kestrel Grey Posted September 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 Sticking to plan is hard this week! I keep messing up my diet (I ate donuts instead of dinner again today) and my brain tries to compensate by revamping my workout plan. I need to remind myself: 1. I cannot "make up for" a crappy diet by exercising more. I may not get fat but I will still be unhealthy. 2. My goal is not to gain strength this challenge. It is to make daily exercising an automatic habit, and making my exercises harder will hurt that goal, not help it. 2 Quote Current Challenge: The Cliffs of Insanity Previous Challenges: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13, #14, #15, #16, #17, #18, #19, #20, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25, #26, #27, #28, #29, #30, #31, #32, #33, #34, #35 Battle Log: Operation Fly-By-Night “Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.” ― Neil Gaiman Link to post

Something tells me it will work its way into future challenges. 1 Quote Current Challenge: The Cliffs of Insanity Previous Challenges: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13, #14, #15, #16, #17, #18, #19, #20, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25, #26, #27, #28, #29, #30, #31, #32, #33, #34, #35 Battle Log: Operation Fly-By-Night “Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.” ― Neil Gaiman Link to post

You might just do what I do and live really close to the park run but never go 4 hours ago, Kestrel Grey said: Sticking to plan is hard this week! I keep messing up my diet (I ate donuts instead of dinner again today) and my brain tries to compensate by revamping my workout plan. I need to remind myself: It's a trap, don't fall for it! 1 Quote - strava - myfitnesspal - Instagram 2019 Roadmap Spoiler " Always aim for something stupidly crazy." - Charlie Quinn 2019 Races: Cliveden MTR 06/01 | Nuts Challenge 02/03 | Reading Half Marathon 17/03 | W.A.R 27/04 | RRDW 11/05 | Nuclear Oblivion 19/05 | Man vs Lakes 20/07 | Spartan Trifecta Weekend 05-06/10 | OCRWC 11-13/10 Current Challenge: First Steps Previous Challenges: 1| 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 Link to post
