Kestrel Grey Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 2018 - Kestrel Builds A Temple - Part 1 (Foundations) My temple may be built in the clouds, but it is getting a solid foundation anyway 1. Prepare the ground for building Continue to plan my meals with MFP. Continue the ban on sugar/junk/processed foods. After week three I can have two items a week as long as I am between 1450-1600 calories and at least 100g protein per day. If I have lost less than 0.2% bodyfat for two weeks in a row, I add burpee tabatas 4x/week. 2. Build a strong (running) base Stick with easy runs + strides. 9 miles a week, adding one mile every week. Okay to scale back any time my foot aches for longer than that day. 3. Use my building materials (time and energy) wisely Daily mundane tasks are to be completed within an hour of waking, so I am not wasting valuable high-energy time on them (start laundry, shower, teeth and skincare, make my tea and enter the day's meals into MFP). Exercise daily at noon whenever possible to prevent the afternoon energy slump. Bird training, my most attention-demanding task, will be done immediately after exercising. Spend 5 minutes after dinner on whichever important task I have been avoiding the most. Minutiae These are the items that didn't make the cut for Challenge Goals, but are still things I plan on accomplishing: Daily walks outdoors Take my vitamins, especially Vitamin D Strength training 2-3x/week Daily stretching, mobility work, and physiotherapy exercises Spanish language practise 6 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 December 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 My thoughts on this challenge and this year: My last two challenges of 2017 were among my most successful despite the fact that I had very little energy. I attribute this to two things; my goals were very easy habit-forming, and I had an IRL accountabilibuddy. So my priority will be continuing both of those this year. There is a full six months before my first major event of 2018, so I would like to take a couple months simply building up the base that will support me through higher level training later in the year. This means I want to lose the last few pounds of excess fat (and keep my little strength) so I can switch into muscle-building mode in the Spring. I also want to increase my running mileage before I start working on speed/thresholds/anything fancy. Finally I want to set the stress-lowering habits that will allow me to later add training stress. I have a few thoughts on how to do all this but I need to make sure I am not overwhelmed by all my changes to prevent me from being overwhelmed. Last challenge when Tank had us write lines, I chose "I act with faith. I do not react from fear." This encapsulates a lot about how I want to approach this year. With optimism. With faith in myself, and in the goodness of other people. With determination and calm execution of my goals, despite the noise that tries to derail me. With tranquillity. When I travelled through Europe for the first time I was blown away by the cathedrals. The churches I'd seen were little things, or at best clunky, and I didn't know that a man-made structure could fill you with the same level of awe and the feeling of more-than-yourself that a vast night sky, or sitting on a mountain top at dawn, could give you. That is what I want to build this year. A life that encapsulates that feeling every day. (Sorry for the Feels. You can blame Christmas.) 6 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 bird training is regarding my little Pacific Parrotlet. He's got a lot of personality, so he takes quite a bit of energy.

Kestrel Grey Posted December 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Zero Week - Tuesday I am starting my challenge this week! I just picked up some new indoor running shoes on sale today and tried them out, but the mileage part of my challenge will start on the official Week One. The shoes needed to fit my full-size orthotics (I had been using my Minimalist shoes with half-orthotics and my feet were starting to complain) so I ended up with a men's shoe, but I doubt anyone at the gym will judge me for it. They feel nice to run in and my feet were happy, but my toes were kind of pins-and-needley. Hopefully not a concern? Today was a very relaxed day after all the chaos of the holidays and my busy work week. I tried out my morning routine with the one-hour time limit to get the unimportant stuff done - not sure how it is going to work just yet. I was doing well until some friends and family messaged me, and isn't the purpose to make sure I have time for things like family? So I spent twenty minutes chatting with people and didn't get my routine finished on time. I am also still not sleeping easily; my husband is overseas for a couple weeks and I always worry a little when he travels to places like Pakistan. 4 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 December 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Week Zero - Wednesday and Thursday I had a nice lifting session on Wednesday, and an enjoyable two miles of easy running today. I've been thinking about how I want to spilt up my running mileage for this challenge; so far I am thinking three miles 3x a week on week one. Then as I add miles I will keep 2 days the same and add to the last day. By the end of the challenge that would mean my long day will be seven miles. Meal planning is ticking along and I managed to avoid all treats at the movie theatre today (I finally saw Star Wars!!!). More importantly by bf% seems to be going in the right direction again after the Christmas feasting bump. I am enjoying the whole morning routine thing. I find myself trying to get out of it when I first wake, but I am quite content when it is done and the best part of my day is free to work on more important things. I used my 5 minutes of facing the things I am avoiding to work on a crochet project for a co-worker's baby girl. She is due on January 2nd so this is the time to get it done. The project is a little beyond my abilities so it is intimidating. Spanish practise also happened for the first time in weeks - another thing I had been putting off. Learning a language is as frustrating as trying to get to a pull-up. Some days it feels like I go backwards more than forwards. Non-Challenge Stuff Spoiler I am happy with this challenge, and I think it will give me the structure I need, so last night I spent some time thinking about how to achieve the feeling. One thing that came up was the concept of tithing. My work and money have filled their purpose of giving my family safety. Really, coming from a poor background I have more now than I ever thought I could need and I want to know that money is doing good beyond buying into the consumer-waste cycle. My tentative plan is to make automatic giving (10% is the traditional tithe) part of my next challenge cycle so now I am on the hunt for a local charity that feels right for what I want to accomplish. Some options: A local church goes to Nicaragua to put in water sanitation in villages. We have a really well-run food bank locally, and the United Way has amazing programs too. I want other people to be able to be their best selves too, because they aren't scared all the time about not being able to keep their families safe. 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
