rowan Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 HAPPY ALMOST NEW YEAR, YA NERDS! I petered off at the end of the last challenge due to holiday stuff and also being real sick for a full week (I am very very bad at being sick and I kept trying to get up and wander around, and once I walked into a wall. Bad Rowan!), but I am happy to report that I did my week 4 workout just before getting sick, ate pretty well for the holidays, and was very very good with my dental hygiene. I just got back to Gotham last night, so everything is poised and ready for a new year, a new challenge, and a new age of not having to blow my nose every four minutes! Hooray! I am considering this to be challenge 2 of my respawn, and for a nice little New Year's theme and maybe the theme for the whole rest of the year, it's BREATH OF THE WILD! I love how the game starts, you are absolutely at level 1, and you have to explore, train, gather and solve to pull yourself up to hero level. You know the feeling. So this month, I'm keeping it basic. BE STRONG! - work out once a week! I have a membership to a rock climbing gym near my work starting on January 2nd, so just going and noodling around on the wall for an hour will be my plan for weekly workout - hopefully I will like it enough to go twice a week! I will pretend I am Link climbing around in Hyrule :3 - Daily movement: I am bringing my daily movement plan up to the following: 2X7 knee pushups Five squats Cat/cow spine motion 20 leg swings, each side each way 10 sec plank My intention will be to get it done in the Secret Workout Room at my work on my lunch break every day. SECRET! BE BRAVE! - Listen to spanish audiobook! I'm hoping for something originally written in spanish - any recs? - Say something in spanish once a week. That's it. It can be to myself, to a nice dog, to my dad, whatever. Just gotta start getting the words out of my mouth. BE STILL: White noise sleep five days a week! I listen to podcasts or audiobooks almost constantly, including when I sleep, and it is cluttering up my brain and making creativity harder. Before I start meditating, I want to clear some space, so I will be falling asleep to nature sounds five nights a week. Interesting. BE FOCUSED! Write and thumbnail a comic! I have an idea I've been wanting to execute for a long time, so this month I am going to just write it out, and thumbnail the panels. Maybe do some character study sketches. All my work will be shared at the end of the month. Daily drawing: Handuary! Every day I will draw some hands and post them on the social medias. Hands are hard. Handuary. BE BALANCED: Batch cooking! Food is so expensive, y'all. So very expensive. So in an effort to move myself closer to my budgeting goals, I am going to batch cook one thing every Sunday, and pack it for the week. Pics and recipes will be forthcoming! Five Drinks: You know what else is frikkin expensive is booze. Let's do five per week, see what it does for me. ADDITIONAL: NF check in 2x week Brush teeth 2x/day, floss daily Ok, there it is. Not pretty yet, but it's out there! Will be checking back later to repost this in a way that is organized and nice, but right now I gotta shower and boogie. Hope everyone has a happy new year! 5 Quote LEVEL ONE APPRENTICE WIZARD RANGER: HUMAN UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE Achievements Unlocked: Breakfast Warrior, Pushupapalooza, Quadruple Nanomaster, Return From the Dead, Gainful Employment, Leap of Faith, Minimalism Game, Get Thee Behind Me, Coffee, Camp Nerd Fitness 2015, Return From the Dead 2: The Undeadening, Gainful Employment 2: Boss Edition, Fancy Comics Person, Rogue Hair Tumblr of VERY INTERESTING ART: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/radicalwizardtimes Link to comment

Librarian of Doom Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Your goals are so good! I especially feel you on the Spanish and art challenges; I keep letting my negative inner voices stop me from working on those, even though I want to. I bought some art classes on Udemy; I think next challenge my life goal will be to start working through them. Quote Hobbit Ranger seeking balance (and cookies) Current Challenge Link to comment

Raxie Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 HAIIIII happy new year!!! I got massively sick near the end/beginning of the year, too! I think there was something intense going around because it seemed like the entire city and surrounding bits were sick for a second there. Glad you're better! Hooray for new challenges!
