Ho, Adventurers!

While we wait for the next challenge thread to open up, drop a line! 

How was the challenge?

What worked? What impediments did you discover?

What surprises did you find along the way?

 

 

Greetings everyone! 

 

Refound NF, after years away, and thought to take a look around. Been enjoying several of the updates. Made me think about possibilities for myself.

 

Today I re-began my morning walk. The goal was 15 mins, then realized I was heading towards 20 with a smile ... wound up accomplishing 28 total continuous minutes & was (am)  ecstatic. 

 

My main goal will be consistency & variety. Looking forward to our journey ahead!

Happy spooky season.

Life (work mainly) got in the way of me coming to the forums a lot this time round, but I kept track of my goals and even achieved some of them.

 

Next challenge I need to go in expecting work to be busy, and be realistic about what I can achieve around it.

 

Also, need to come up with a good Halloween theme...

Don't say "I don't have enough time", say instead "that's not a priority right now" and see how that makes you feel.

I'm thankful to still be around at the end. When all else fails, that's the main objective. Just stay in the fight. 

 

It actually didn't go as badly as that first statement might make it seem. The small things I was able to keep up with, but all things lifting and many things piano-related were put on halt while my work exploded all around me. And now that the dust is clearing, I'm starting to realize that a 50+ hour work week for me is just going to be a thing that happens every now and then, and I need to prepare accordingly. 

 

I switched over to the Greyskull LP (Props to @Stronkey Kong for the inspiration) which showed me a lot. Apparently, losing a week or two to the work-hole isn't the catastrophe that I thought it was which makes me more likely to continue working out (as opposed to believing I have to start over completely from scratch which can be incredibly demotivating when it happens for the 3rd 5th 8th 17th time).

The challenge was alright, wandered off halfway through the challenge and ended up wandering back. 

Found that stress levels really can tip me sideways.... So, working on trying to find ways to make things easier along with backup plans. 

Upside I ended up following through with some health appointments and found some answers for myself!
