obax Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Sounds like Sunday was one heck of a day, but I like how you reflected on it and didn't let it derail you, and then got things buckled down for the start of week 2. 1 Quote Dare mighty things Current Challenge Link to comment

starpuck Posted January 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Falling behind in keeping up here, sorry guys. It's been a Sharknado here with the hormones. Yesterday was the worst of it. I didn't eat well. But I didn't go full badger either (though that's probably because the morning/lunch food made me so sick I wanted nothing the rest of the day.) Gourmet donuts and coffee cake from a prestigous Polish bakery were brought in. I had a half piece of the coffee cake, then my work wife and I split 2 donuts so ... 1 each. This would have been fine. But the donuts were the best I had ever in my life had, and you don't pass that chance up. So I had another. Kept myself to 5 square of pizza at lunch. (Think 2x2 size) and a slice of retirement cake. Dinner was Chipotle with the boys before Weathering With You (anime featured at our local theater). I had just a quesadilla. Bleh. No snacks the rest of the night. Tired and moody, no night time routine was done - save for getting to bed on time. I did get some art time in after the movie, so that was good. No exercise though. Also had none on Tuesday so I need to get on board here. Sun is out today, and sharks officially landed so the mood has pulled a 180. Just need to ride that good mojo and get back into a streak of habits. About to hit lift day #2 now, so that's at least both weeks hitting 2 strength days each. Better than in a long while. Will be catching up with folks later. 3 Quote Level 81 ~*~ Ranger Deviant Art Gallery || YouTube Channel Current Challenge "It is difficult. All things worth keeping are."

starpuck Posted January 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Thursday's game night got canceled on account of illness by the DM and his roommate. I told those fools to start eating real food. They've been passing colds back and forth, legit, since Thanksgiving!!! But you can only tell a horse so many times, that it needs water, before you get tired of even talking about the water trough. For me though, it meant a much delighted in off night. My Northgard buddy and I tackled (and totally pwnd) our first Extreme difficulty mission with the Wolf Clan. (We'd tried 3-4x with Goat clan, and the initial mission is just too map dependent to make it feasible without the perfect generation of tiles / etc.) That felt really good! I also had left over meatloaf (which I found out today, was made with 96/4 ground beef - so even less calories than I was expecting, bonus!) Snacks were reasonable. While I bought a 6-pack of donuts for the gaming group, I managed to have just one last night. More of the same for tonights dinner. Food tracked yesterday and today, so Wednesday's bump is in the past. Got a strength workout in yesterday, and my coworker and I went back there today and took 30" rounds on the bag with each other while listening to some classic club mixes. It was a blast and it felt good to get my heart rate up and keep it at a higher level. Makes for a good week thus far in the exercise category. Art was worked on last night as well. Still fighting to learn the new update on the software. I just ... like the way the old one looked better. Bah. Lol. Change is my enemy! I must learn to embrace it better. (I got used to my new computer chair and actually am really happy with it, hey!) Plan on doing a bit more tonight and should have a final product to post for sharingz. In other news, I've pulled a @Raxie and joined up another D&D game. This one will be via discord/Roll 20 and likely only once a month on Fridays. That makes game #.... let's seem Thurs and Sunday games are weekly. Saturday's bi weekly, PBP as it goes, 4 live games and 1 PBP? I'm up to 5 D&D games???? >.> Tomorrow's the big hair cut. I'll take a before and after. I just asked my stylist if the thing I wanna do will work on me and she said "OH ABSOLUTELY I LOVE IT!" And I trust her, she's straight up told me no before, so I believe her commentary. Will do my best to pop in on Saturday and not be a weekend ostrich. 7 Quote Level 81 ~*~ Ranger Deviant Art Gallery || YouTube Channel Current Challenge "It is difficult.

starpuck Posted January 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 So! We lost internet last night and that meant I got lots of art time in. Actually, I got some Don't Starve in first, and then art. Finished up Rayla Stillhawk, my (secretly) half elven proprietor of The Cask's Quarrel - one of the two main taverns in the main Elven city of Ashal Veloth. It's run by House La Quella - known for being a bit more out going and far less insular than some of the others. As the party has arrived (consisting of three humans, a halfling and a half-orc) into a city that is strictly elves, it's really plucked her curiosity! The only question that remains is... can the party handle Rayla? Today was a good day. I ate healthy, tracked my calories, helped my sister out a ton (she had thumb surgery last Monday and is still sporting a wrapped up club-bear-paw thing!) Played another Extreme NG (and we won) and then some Don't Starve. First time in a while a Saturday was tracked AND within range. We had super wet wet slush snow slush ice and I had shoveled twice, so that counts as working out today for sure. Oh, and I did my week two Bold New Puck thing... (don't mind the bad lighting and background) Everything else was done... but I missed my bed time by 30m Though, I can sleep in tomorrow too, so not too bad. 9 Quote Level 81 ~*~ Ranger Deviant Art Gallery || YouTube Channel Current Challenge "It is difficult.
