Ranger Hal Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 Last challenge I did lots of the things. I need to change up some of the workout stuff from last time because I'm not really excited about continuing the pushups and chair rows I had been doing. I'm not sure what I want to do. More hiking would be good, but I've found it difficult to consistently get that done in the past. I'm not worrying about that right now. I'm doing some specialized SAR training most of the week, so that's keeping me busy. I will probably add some more stuff later, but for now, I want to keep doing some of the things during zero week.

A sliding scale, that's an excellent addition. The whole it's a dial, not a switch mentality. 1 Quote "For God did not give us a spirit of fear; but a spirit of power, love, and self-discipline". - 2 Timothy 1:7 "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us." -Gandalf Link to comment

And if you did, between the two which would be the minimal win and which the not-bad fail? Well, I was really hoping for a yellow symbol (check or x would work), but I didn't see one of those or a red check. I would use the green x as the minimal win and the red check as the not-bad fail. I guess that means I notice the color before the symbol. Interesting. Edit: I have just been leaving it blank for a not-bad fail, like when I'm out half the night with search and rescue, so of course I'm not in bed by 11pm or doing the planned evening stuff, and I'm probably not getting up at 7am because I want to get some sleep (at least 4-5 hours is nice) before work the next morning. 2 Quote 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, Current Walk to Mordor: 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 Link to comment

Yeah, when I say cooler last night, that wasn't until way later. When I woke up the house was cooler, but when I went to bed it was super warm outside.

Mistr Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Good for you on beating back the jungle in hot weather. I am just ignoring mine right now.
