Shello Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 I'm here! I almost didn't do a challenge this time around. I have ghosted my last 2 challenges at least. I'm really struggling to stay engaged in my challenges and my goals. Except I'm not really struggling with my goals, I just don't care about them that much. I'm happy where I am right now. I have no real desire to go to the gym. I am only struggling because I keep forcing myself to do things I just don't have any interest at the moment. I still want to lose weight and be stronger in general but my priorities are shifting and I'm just not making the time for it. And I'm mostly OK with that. But I am definitely NOT interested in taking any steps backwards. I am happy to maintain where I am and wait for some warmer weather, and an end to the flooding, and just get outside for some walking or hiking. Taking a cold turkey break from NF is not going to help me maintain so I need to get my act together and stop ghosting y'all. Ii figured a half assed challenge might be the way to go but then I remembered this sage advice.... So this is what I'm going to do. Since sticking around is the reason I'm doing a challenge anyway there is only 1 goal worthy of whole assing: SHOW THE FUCK UP I just need to show up, post daily, and bore you all with my uneventful life of not fitnessing and barely watching what I eat. If you're lucky I'll throw in a little drama here and there. My basement recently flooded, I managed to peak at day 15 with no coparenting issues with my ex (currently on day 3), teen drama, and the adventures of DDG. It will be fun, unless you are only interested in fitnessing updates. In that case, you will be disappointed. I'm following a lot less people than usual but follow them I shall. I need to show the fuck up there too.

Shello Posted March 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Day 1 of showing the fuck up. It was a mostly boring day pop tarts for breakfast, turkey and cheese wrap for lunch with a Rice Krispie treat and some bbq chips. I was supposed to have Peach over for the weekend while the boys camped but the camp out was cancelled due to flooding. We had planned to order pizza and start watching Gilmore Girls again but we had to postpone. I tried making a scheduling exchange with DBE so Peach and I could follow through with our plans. He did not agree. Instead I just grabbed a frozen pizza and figured I would play some Sims, it has been awhile. A friend invited me over while I was shopping so I went to hang with her. It was a good evening. We caught up, vented about DBE, and drank wine.

Shello Posted March 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Showing for Saturday. Saturday was a very relaxed day. I slept in and then stayed in bed catching up on The Walking Dead. I wanted to stay in bed longer and play Sims but I was getting hungry and my laptop battery was low and the charger was all the way downstairs. I reluctantly got out of bed for a really late breakfast of bacon and cheez toast then sat down to start a new legacy game. It took forever to get started, as usual, so that sucked up hours of the day. Somewhere in there I did some laundry, took a shower, and put away most of the floordrobe - except for the new load I just washed. That was the extent of anything productive for the day. Lunch was a PbJ and some chocolate Oreos. I had tentative plans to go to a family get together with DDG. I’ve only met his mother and he has 9 siblings to meet. But if either of his sons wanted to go then I would stay home since I haven’t met them yet either. I didn’t get confirmation on our plans until after 5 but we were on. So a sudden panic attack that I’m meeting A huge chunk of his family in a matter of hours... But the evening went well. I learned some of their names and forgot most of them. Dinner was chips and queso and some pizza.

Shello Posted March 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Shello Shows up for Sunday Sunday was a great lazy day, for me anyway. I stayed over at DDG's. He had to work bright and early in the morning but I got to sleep in. I woke up late, watched a bit of TV and then went to run a few errands. There wasn't much to eat at his place so I figured I'd grab McDonald's while I was out. I realized as I came up to one that I wasn't that hungry yet. I ran to the pet store and home to let the dog out. On my way back to DDG's I was actually hungry so I grabbed McDonalds. I figure waiting until I was actually hungry negates the impact from the poor quality. That was practically at lunch time so I didn't eat any proper lunch. We had dinner plans with some friends so we just grabbed a quick snack of a peanut butter cup and a couple Oreo's in the afternoon. Dinner was at a burger joint. We each had a burger; we shared fries and a peach cobbler. Food was good, company was great, and dessert was excellent. 6 Quote Race: Amazonian Ogre Princess | Class: Ranger | Profession: SuperHero Level: 19 Ranger | STR 36 | DEX 29 | STA 35 | CON 43 | WIS 35 | CHA 23| Spoiler Epic Quest Avatar | Lifting profile | D&D Character Sheet Accountibillibuddies: Doodlies setting the world alight Roadmaps: 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 I am not saying I am Wonder Woman.
