I think I just feel a bit directionless in life - there are some new jobs coming out at work in the coming months so I'm hoping some of them spark interest and I'm successful at the role I want... 3 Quote Level 37 Rogue Ranger, 2024 ROADMAP Welcome to the Dungeons of Doom; locate the Amulet of Yendor ♀ on Level 26 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, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42 Link to comment
Silmarilliane Posted April 17 Author Report Share Posted April 17 Office yesterday and had a social escape room thing after - it was fun though not my favourite. Some of the puzzles seemed entirely random, like someone would do something and then someone else would notice something had popped open (but it was unclear what of the many things that were happening actually opened whatever it was) I got walking in for the commute but nothing else in the day, and then had a couple of cocktails after with two of the team who are good people. I did turn down an icecream in the office though, so that feels like a slight win. Got home and spent trying to get to sleep time beating myself up about my inability to filter or stop oversharing. Classic me... Yesterday: 🍸 0pts 🏃♀️ 5pts 🚶♀️5pts 🌞 5pts 💡 0pts Total: 630pts I should really calculate if I'm anywhere near being on track for points for this challenge, but I'm feeling very bleh about things in general.

Silmarilliane Posted April 19 Author Report Share Posted April 19 The assistance band I got for the chin ups is also useful for doing some sort of standing shoulder flies (basically pulling the band directly upwards with both hands to shoulder height, with elbows out/up - feel free to let me know the real name!) Cycled to the shop and did a walk after work. Met a friend for dinner/drinks so def over calories for that meal, but sensible in the day.

Silmarilliane Posted April 22 Author Report Share Posted April 22 Catchup time... Friday was office so run, walk (nice long walk with a prev colleague), and to see a friend's show far away - had pizza dinner and got home late. Saturday I had family brunch for my mum's birthday, and then a date later on. I probably didn't actually go over calories, but I didn't count them either so I'm going to 5pt it. Yester I was just going to the Priscilla Party in the late arvo, so did some extra exercise in the morning and then 100 squats while brushing my teeth.

That means I only really have today/tomorrow/Wed for max calorie points, and maybe only today as 'getting in bed on time' points... I've already done a cycle and my physio today, and will do weights, so might chuck some kettlebells on my next call, and I'll be walking to pilates later. All feels a bit frantic OK, now to catch up on the forums! 3 Quote Level 37 Rogue Ranger, 2024 ROADMAP Welcome to the Dungeons of Doom; locate the Amulet of Yendor ♀ on Level 26 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, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42 Link to comment

Silmarilliane Posted Thursday at 10:21 PM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 10:21 PM Ok doing yesterday and today as I'm now away for a singing weekend! Office yesterday and chorus after - had an exam (that I passed, woo but stress!) so I had some Turkish delight that were emotionally required. Today was a bit of a faff - drove to the Midlands but the place I booked didn't have parking, and hadn't been cleaned and I had to join some work calls, so after trekking there with bags, I trekked back to the conference centre to finish work. Thankfully they refunded me and a friend is joining tomorrow so I have their bed for the night, and have booked a night in this hotel for tomorrow, and crashing in ANOTHER person's room the last night(!) Had some comfort food but then got a sensible dinner instead of pub food.

Love my weird cult hobby ❤️ Food was coffee breakfasts and then lunch/snacks and dinner. Don't think I ate awfully though. Got physio and a day walk done, and did some squats one day and poi another.

It's the final day but food is pretty much a -10pts right now. Not sure I'll be able to get a daytime walk in, but assuming I can get to bed 10:30pm I should be able to do physio and some other exercise to just get over 1000 to pass the challenge... 3 Quote Level 37 Rogue Ranger, 2024 ROADMAP Welcome to the Dungeons of Doom; locate the Amulet of Yendor ♀ on Level 26 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, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42 Link to comment
