Faline Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 This six week challenge is going to be epic. Zombie killing training time =^..^= I am a druid who now has to develop zombie fighting skills to stay alive! Brief Overview of Goals: Fitness 1. Follow Rebel Strength Guide...starting off with basic training but will work towards body Weight tier one. (one must have strength to fight zombies) 2. Go to climbing gym at least twice a week (to help evade the zombies) 3. Yoga twice a week (flexibility to help hide from and fight the zombies) 4. Lose 6 pounds...one pound a week (currently hanging around 172 maybe zombies will find me less tasty if I am skinnier? lol) Eating: Paleoish...vegetarian style ...no set meals this time. It worked ok for the beginning of the last challenge but I am trying to make it a life style and not a diet plan Lifestyle: 1. Complete Last two classes for my Masters 2. Find second internship 3. Start researching basic survival skills Sadness Is Easy Because It is Surrender http://twitter.com/#!/PsychoLoLCat Link to comment

Which consisted of -Warm up -Push ups 10,8,7 -Squats 25,20,20 (on a side note, I am use to doing squats until my thighs are parallel, I have been trying to go until my butt is almost on the ground and they are hard, I have only do half of what I would normally be able to do!!!) -Planks first: 1 minute second: 37 seconds -Cool down On a naughty note, I need to drink more water! Until a week ago I was drinking over a gallon of water a day and now I am lucky if I get one water bottle !! A strong start tho YAY ME!!!!

LynnyLee Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Totally with you on the hydration. Somehow I just completely got out of the habit. I will say that sometimes everything just seems harder when you're not properly hydrated. Link to comment
Faline Posted April 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Yep...Day...Two Exercise: None...it was an off day and worked from 7-4 and had class from 6-9 so that walk I wanted to fit in....well....I am using that time to catch up on missed sleep from yesterday lol... Sad I know Eating: No too shabby... Breakfast was two egg muffins (egg, fake meat crumbles, and cheese) Lunch...forgotten... so grabbed a banana and some pistachios Dinner was steamed cauliflower topped with "chick'n" strips and mushroom gravy because I wanted sweets I made myself a protein shake with milk, almond butter, chocolate protein powder and frozen mango. Yep...not too shabby Sadness Is Easy Because It is Surrender http://twitter.com/#!/PsychoLoLCat Link to comment

Faline Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 So this is the start of my Zombie slaying killer.... I like to think of myself as Faline...The Zombie Slayer (teehee Buffy never gets old ) Well overall Today we good...I hit 170.0 today!!!! yay!!!! Less meat for the zombies! Eating was okay...Only blah was that a friend took me to lunch...who can say no to free lunch? I got a green chile and cheese sub ..yummy...other than that it went well Exercise was day four of the Basic training It looked a little like this -Warm up - Pull ups (cant do rows) 9,9,7 - lunges 11,12,9 - Planks 1:36, 0:32 -Cool down Everything was good but I think I am going to add to my goals to cut caffeine..I have way too much.. Feel like I am using caffeine as a substitute to sugar, so I need to ponder that Sadness Is Easy Because It is Surrender http://twitter.com/#!/PsychoLoLCat Link to comment
dan_ho Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Looks like you're off to a good start! I like the life goals =D Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it. -Maya Angelou Link to comment
dan_ho Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 What do you eat for your fake meat faline? I'm a huge fan of Morningstar, absolutely delicious. I've only been a pescatarian for 2 years.. but I hope vegetarian is going well for you! On a side note, I might switch back to meat simply because it's easier / cheaper to stay paleo that way. Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it. -Maya Angelou Link to comment
Faline Posted April 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Last two days have been busy Eating: Not too shabby, did do greek yesterday for dinner ...yummy but too many carbs lol. Exercise: Did a 45 minute dance fitness DVD, spents 1.5 hours at the climbing gym and Workout A with The Basic Training set Push ups 12,10,8 for a total of 30 ....6 more than my previous best! Squats 30,25,26 Planks 55 secs, 32 secs worse day for plants yet Life: Interviewed to get a school counseling internship, of course they gave me a list of schools to call that are considered "bad" and I now have to figure out what to choose. Two weeks until I am out of the military and unemployed ...exciting!!! A little nervous but oh well Sadness Is Easy Because It is Surrender http://twitter.com/#!/PsychoLoLCat Link to comment
dan_ho Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Good job on increasing your best pushups! That's six more zombies that you can push off of your chest in a time of need! What I do to make my planks last longer... go until your body is going to collapse on you... once it is, focus on whatever it is that motivates you! That perfect beach body, murdering one more zombie, climbing one rock higher, anything that will get you to dig deep and take those few extra deep breaths and hold it for that extra second. Good luck =D Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it. -Maya Angelou Link to comment

Faline Posted April 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Ahhh last few days have been weird. Exercise mon-today tail Eating: no too shabby ...finally broke the 170 hanging point weighted in at 169.7 this morning Things are crazy right now and I am having problems staying motivated Monday and Tuesday I am in class till almost 10pm and I could not manage to do anything productive for the hour I have between work and school. Today...had time but picked watching Dr. Who over working out. Tomorrow is always another day...Time to get back on the horse. Right now no improvement towards Zombie slaying 5 weeks left Sadness Is Easy Because It is Surrender http://twitter.com/#!/PsychoLoLCat Link to comment
dan_ho Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Motivation is the hard part, the rest is easy once you have the mind to do it! I skipped two days, then said to myself, "What am I doing to better myself when I skip my workout?" Nothing at all, and once you get back into it, you're more likely to keep at it! Good luck =) Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it. -Maya Angelou Link to comment
