Lilbichy's quest to look her best!

[JessOfAllTrades]

Awesome week 1! And great idea doing the tourist in your town thing.

 

And yeah, I used to do a lot of cosplay, but have since stopped going to cons and putting the time/energy into costumes. I have a few of my greats posted in my gallery from the cosplay thread. It's definitely a hobby I miss and I may or may not have a folder now on my desktop titled "Femshep Cosplay"

Keep killing it!  You're doing awesome!

[lilbichy]

thanks you guys!!! =) 

So glad to start week 2!

[lilbichy]

Week 1 summary:

Workouts were awesome, even though I busted a light bulb!  Class was fun to try, looking forward to this weeks class! A

Food....weekdays great, I messed up a bit over the weekend.  B

Tracking.  I tracked everything, food, workouts, positives!  A

Life.  We got a lot of stuff done on the extra room, should actually be pretty close to done this weekend.  Cosplay ordered more stuff for finishing touches.  Self Esteem, did 1 hour in my workbook.  I also brought my book with me to work in case I have down time I can read here too.

[Paisley]

great first week you're doing a fantastic job.  Good luck with week two.

[goodbye_farewell]

Well done! Keep up the good work.

[turbo_tortoise155]

Looks like your week 1 went well. Can't wait to see your finished cosplay outfit!! Go week 2!

[prefect42]

Light-smashing aside, sounds like you had a great first week.  Onto the next!

[DirtyLittleSecrets]

I've always been nervous going into something I don't know that well. But I always regret chickening out more than I do going and feeling awkward the entire time

[GoodDoug]

Great job and I think that lightbulb got what it deserved. It should have gotten out of the way!

 

Tracking is what will win the day for you. Can't wait to see how you do

[lilbichy]

This week has been going good.  i am actually ahead on my life things, which I usually put off until the weekend.  I had Tuesday off so I did some of my self esteem book and also worked on the room.  We should have that room done this weekend, which will be nice since school starts next week.  I also brought my book to work and was able to work on it a bit yesterday during down time.  My workouts have been on track.  Tomorrow I plan to do a cardio strength class, woot!  Eating hasnt been the best still at a B level.  It is hard to sit down watch a movie and not munch on something unhealthy!  LOL damn those movies! 

I was approached by one of the trainers a couple weeks ago at the gym, she asked if i was training for something and asked me to join a running team with her, for a half marathon!  My attn span will not handle that.  I talked to her again today and she wants me to join a class she is trying to set up which will help with endurance on runs and stairs.  I think it sounds fun!  It is kind of a booster having a trainer approach you and want you in her class.  she also mentioned me joining her group and doing the incline in colorado. 

I actually got out and was social last night!  LOL too bad I didnt set that up for bonus points this challenge.  It was nice to meet other people from these forums!  they were all super nice and I had fun =)

[JessOfAllTrades]

Awesome! Sounds like you accomplished a lot so far this week!

[Knightwatch]

Sounds like you're doing great! Keep up the good work!

[tracknut]

Keep working hard!  It is great when people notice your effort level.  

[Hammlin]

Great meeting you last night! The incline looks tough!

[Pallas Athena]

You sound really happy with how things are going! I think you should take bonus points for socializing just because you feel like it. If it makes you feel that good, you're leveling up, imo. So glad to hear things are going even better than expected. And I know what you mean about the movies. Have you tried setting a time limit for eating in the evening--i.e., nothing after 9pm or something like that? I've found that helps avoid (or at least reduce) the endless snacking.

[GoodDoug]

The way we have worked at avoiding snacking is to make the snacks difficult to access. Put them on the high shelf, put them in the shelves in the garage, or just don't have them around at all.

Otherwise, I can't resist their siren call.

[turbo_tortoise155]

Looks like you are doing soo great!! I'm glad you got a lot done and got out to be social! It feels so good to have lots of stuff done early in the week... to me its always a great weight lifted off your shoulders.

 

Personally the whole no snacks past 9 thing won't work.. Its like a reverse psychology thing. I HAVE TO HAVE IT!! I just don't buy snacks to put in my house. I don't have older kids though... it is harder to be snack free then.

[Chris-Tien Jinn]

Are you watching movies at home?  You could stretch or do some light strength training. Or ... one of my favs ..... take up knitting!!

[Redi Spades]

I just flipped through some of your goals and accomplishment so far, and it looks like you are doing great.  It is good to see you excelling in this challenge.  I love the cosplay idea, I always love dressing up as different things!!!

End of week updates!  YAY! Another one down!

Workouts - 100%.  I did a cardio strength class on friday that totally kicked my butt!  I loved it!

Eating - HA!  75% this week. 

Tracking - 100% =)  this one seems to be pretty easy.  I am starting to dig for the positives daily though.  Getting a little rougher coming up with things at this point.

Life - 67%..... I didnt work on cosplay this week.  Kids room is almost done then I can write this off and focus more on the cosplay.  Also I did spend extra time on my self confidence. 

Over the weekend I had said I would do an extra run for my squad v squad thing, but I ended up having an actual social life and didnt do it.  Feeling so guilty! 

[tracknut]

I don't think missing a run will hurt that much since you are absolutely killing it right now!  Keep up the work!

Good job so far! You're doing great keeping us updated and overall you seem to be really rocking it out

[Librarian of Doom]

Looks like things are going pretty well! That cardio strength class sounds awesome, as does the socializing!

[turbo_tortoise155]

I hear you about the guilt thing, but I wouldn't worry about it. I'm sure you had fun, and breaking up a strict routine can sometimes make it fresh again. You are doing so great!! I hope you can get the kid's room done soon. It sounds like something any kid would love.
