deftona Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 Doll Parts Hello and welcome to 2023! All my challenges this year will be geared up towards achieving my overarching goals from my RoadMap. The focus on this challenge will be all about my body, and treating it with gentle kindness as if I were a doll. Weeks of festive debauchery have taken their toll on me and I feel like I am rotting from the inside out so this challenge will be about taking care of myself, easing myself gently into 2023, making myself feel awesome as well as starting as I mean to go on with my yearly goals. Boom or Bust Goals for this challenge cycle: Goal 1 – Eat <2001 calories Goal 2 – Eat 5 portions of freggies per day Goal 3 – drink 2 litres of water per day Goal 4 – Set up a Snack box in the evening Goal 5 – Daily yoga practice of at least 10 minutes. Goal 6 – Moisturise my whole body on a daily basis. Goal 7 – Facial skincare routine (cleansing, toning, moisturising, maybe a bit of Gua Sha if I can learn how to do it properly) 6 Quote If it's not siesta or fiesta, I'm not interested.

starpuck Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 I saw the title and had to come check this out. (I just learned that song on guitar hehe).

deftona Posted January 2 Author Report Share Posted January 2 Sunday Update New Years Day always makes me want to organise things so I started by emptying all my wardrobes and cupboards out in my dressing room and putting it in a pile on the floor. I then regretted my decisions and had a cup of tea so I could ignore the clusterfuck going on upstairs. I did get back to it and did a bit more but not much and everything is strewn all over the floor still. Oops. I had to stop because my back was hurting but I made a giant roast dinner, as is the norm for new years day and we binge watched The Traitors because it's brilliant. 6/7 goals ticked off. I was never going to be within my calories the state of that roast. 5 Quote If it's not siesta or fiesta, I'm not interested.

deftona Posted January 3 Author Report Share Posted January 3 2 hours ago, WhiteGhost said: I have never heard of this. Is it Korean? Based on the spelling I would say it looks more like Chinese but I would be interested to hear more about it regardless Google backed up my suspicions it is Chinese, and it's a facial massage technique that's supposed to do all sorts of things that I don't necessarily believe, but as you use facial oils to gently scrape the surface of the skin it undoubtedly exfoliates and massages, and above all else it feels really really nice. This is a gua sha stone, they're made of jade or rose quartz so they're really cooling. 21 hours ago, DarK_RaideR said: It seems this thread isn't moving as fast as it usually does.

Hi there. 19 hours ago, Jarric said: New Year's day roast dinner sounds lovely, though most of the time I'd be far too lazy to cook it I sort of cheat on my New Years Day roast because I skim off portions of the sides I cook for Christmas dinner and bang them in the freezer. So the red cabbage in port and sprouts with bacon and chestnuts just needed warming in the oven. It was a case of prepping the roast potatoes, honey roasted carrots and parsnips, stuffing and Yorkshire puddings, and the meat was garlic and rosemary crusted pork chop which took a couple of minutes to sear on both sides, then 15 minutes in the oven. It took about 30 minutes of hands on work, with the oven doing the rest of it. 3 Quote If it's not siesta or fiesta, I'm not interested.

deftona Posted January 3 Author Report Share Posted January 3 Monday Update I am so confused as to what day it is. I was pretty sure it was Tuesday all day yesterday. We finished off sorting out the dressing room in the morning and in the afternoon I finally picked up Skyrim. I played that for quite a while until my neck started to hurt and I got super tired. I am pretty sure this is a migraine and it often happens when I play video games but it's really hard to put my finger on because I don't get headaches with them, I just need to sleep. We then finished watching The Traitors and it's so good we binge watched the entire thing in 2 days. I made us avocado toasts for breakfast, I used up all the blue cheese left over from Christmas in a stilton and broccoli soup for lunch (and backed up a ton in the freezer) and dinner was a vegetable stir fry with oyster sauce and noodles. Veggies were fab, but I ate A LOT of biscuits. These are my Achilles Heel, especially those curly chocolate ones. We have a ton of Christmas snacky foods left (and when I say a ton, I mean a ton - we have a whole hamper basket of bits we didn't even open and the pantry is literally full) so I am snackboxing. Not that it's working particularly well given the Fox's Faceplant yesterday, Ah well, we go again. I woke up this morning feeling really poorly - sore throat, tiredness, and general under-the-weatherness so I am going to get a workout sesh in this morning before I go any further downhill. 6/7 daily goals. 14 portions of weekly rainbow veg, 0/3 weekly fitness sessions. 5 Quote If it's not siesta or fiesta, I'm not interested.

WhiteGhost Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 36 minutes ago, deftona said: This is a gua sha stone, Ah, OK, pretty sure I have seen those before. I'm not sure if Ghostess has one, but I am pretty sure some of the ladies in her crew use them. 28 minutes ago, deftona said: I am so confused as to what day it is. I was pretty sure it was Tuesday all day yesterday. I had to check my computer 3 times because I was also 100% sure it was Tuesday yesterday and now I am extremely confused because how is today not Wednesday? It isn't just us either, I usually have a regular management call on Tuesday nights and the other guys were all "it's a holiday weekend, let's skip tonght's call" and not a single person batted an eyelash 31 minutes ago, deftona said: I finally picked up Skyrim I am sure you probably guessed this, but I am super interested to hear your thoughts on the game and what parts you played so far.

I didn't get far into it at all, and the graphics are looking very dated to me which isn't shocking given the game is over a decade old. I'll probably persevere with it though so I will get back to you on this! 1 Quote If it's not siesta or fiesta, I'm not interested.
