Aminarra Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 oh well its a great idea. my only prob is that normally its dark when I get a chance to walk... even in summer. we'll see what happens. perhaps I can photo a place during a lunch walk and then do the longer more rigorous walk later that night. I half thought of photos a few times last challenge... I'm kind of a shutter bug, I enjoy posting pictures And yeah, this is our outdoor week.

Between the 7.5lbs of chicken and the massive box of Kraft slices, I think I had around 10lbs.

Tzippi Longstockings Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 I am in! I'm going to make small, achievable goals and actually complete a mini for once. a Strength Feat: 2 days Shovelglove a Speed Feat: 30 minutes intense shimmy and isolations practice, 2x a Distance Feat: One time at the gym, some sort of cardio (as much to try out taking Weestockings to the drop-off childcare at the gym. Gulp.) a Combat Feat: Prepare a curry, stew, chili, or other multi-meal dish. (Veg chopping = combat, right?) and a Rangerly Outdoorsy Feat: take the baby on a short hike in the foothills. No time or distance, just get bundled, get him strapped on, and get outside.(ACHIEVED 1/3/18 - Went to the Hyatt Hidden Lakes Reserve instead. Didn't do the hill because of slippery ice and packed snow - a ranger must be bold, but discretion is the better part of valor when carrying a squishable 3 and a half month old baby. Weestockings loved the fresh air, and I got 20 minutes of careful walking around the marshes, watching the little birds that stay over winter. Looking forward to seeing the ducks and geese when they return in spring, and the whole reserve is green again. 4 Quote Tzippi Longstockings, level 9 Ranger/Monk Battle Log - My Fitness Pal - Quest to Find My Epic Quest - Challenges: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, The Westerosi Fitness Tour: Dorne Stormlands Vale the Reach Westerlands The Wall MamaBear Kiss Off Waterbending Rounding <<Current Link to comment
