Jupiter Posted November 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 So, week 3 update: Yoga: 2/2 sessions. I almost didn't do the second, but my new fitness journal said, "Today I will love myself enough to exercise," so I did, and I felt pretty good afterward. Walking: 2/1 sessions. I only really planned for one, but I managed to squeeze a second walk in. My dog was happy. Revisions: 5/7 days. I was hoping to get more work in, especially over the weekend, but I only ended up working for 3 hours overall over these last two days. Still, it's better than nothing at all, so I'm good with it. Plus, I'm really happy with this chapter so far. Maybe I'm getting better at this revision thing. I also went to a write-in at the local library yesterday. It was fantastic. I sat in a room with a bunch of people and we all just wrote (well, I mostly worked on revisions, and then fiddled with a new story I've been thinking about) and it was great. Sometimes writing is hard because it's so solitary, but sitting in a room with a bunch of other writers working on our own projects was just so awesome. I want to do another one. Cleaning: 5/7 days. I actually got more chores done than I thought I would. Food: 3/7 days without chocolate. Not quite reaching my goal yet with this one, but I'm getting there. Overall, a pretty good week. Onward to week 4! 2 Quote New Battle Log, Old Battle Log, Current Challenge 2022 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4 2021 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4, Challenge 5, Challenge 6 2020 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4, Challenge 5, Challenge 6, Challenge 7 Link to comment

Okay, this is EXACTLY what I need right now! Tomorrow I will tell myself "Today I love myself enough to exercise". You've been doing really well! My numbers usually look similar,, so I know it can be easy to see the result as "not completed", but from an outside point of view I can see how much you've done, you did AWESOME! Also, this write-in sounds awesome!! How's week 4 so far??? 1 Quote Dancing Sylph - Level 9 Monk/Druid Former Captain of the Nerdians of the Fitalaxy Current Challenge "E quindi uscimmo a riveder le stelle" - We came forth, and once more saw the stars, Dante Link to comment

It's definitely hard to see the wins sometimes. On 11/14/2018 at 4:44 PM, Nol said: Also, this write-in sounds awesome!! How's week 4 so far??? Doesn't it? There's another one next weekend and I'm totally going. *** Last update for this challenge! Yoga: 2/2 sessions. I've been feeling like I need to level up on this goal. What I've been doing the last week or two hasn't really felt super challenging, so today instead of playing a beginner video I used the intermediate video I bought a while back. I've tried it before and have totally failed at it, but I tried it again and did a lot of the modified poses instead of the harder ones. I think maybe I was just trying to do too much too fast, but even with the modified poses it still felt challenging, so I may switch to this video for a couple of weeks and see what happens. Walking: 2/1 sessions. I think I finally built up to two walks a week, which is excellent. I didn't even think about doing the second walk at all, I just did it, because it had already become a habit when I wasn't looking. I may need to take a break though because my dog has been having some health issues recently. Her hips started bothering her a lot this weekend. If they don't start getting better I may have to take her back to the vet. Revisions: 5/7 days, but I haven't done any revising yet today, so by the end of today it will be six days. I'm going back through the last few chapters I just revised, just some quick edits and checking for little inconsistencies and then I'll keep going. Shouldn't take me more than a day. Cleaning: 3/7 -- I haven't really created a schedule for this now, just cleaned what looked visibly dirty. Think I'll try an actual schedule and see how that goes. Food: 1/7 -- Epic fail. This week was a hard one. Found out that there were layoffs at work and that there might be more coming so that's been a little stressful. Still, overall not a bad end to the challenge. 2 Quote New Battle Log, Old Battle Log, Current Challenge 2022 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4 2021 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4, Challenge 5, Challenge 6 2020 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4, Challenge 5, Challenge 6, Challenge 7 Link to comment
Odango Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Congrats on finishing another challenge! It was not a bad week at all! Your work situation sounds super stressful. My mum's company (I mean where she works) has been laying people off as well and it's definitely not a pleasant climate to work in. Sending you some serenity vibes!
