RogueWolf Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Hey Everyone! I'm back for my second challenge after slipping up quite a bit towards the end of my first I'm not very creative but I've seen a few people 'theme' their challenges so - why not! X-Men has been close to my heart since I was a kid so it's only fitting that I apply it here! MAIN QUEST: Ditch The Brotherhood and return to The Institute (NF) aka Lose weight and feel better about myself Goal 1 - Don't eat like Blob! I'm going back down the Paleo route with this one because I didn't quite stick it out on the first challenge but I felt the benefits and want that again. Following RogueWelkin's advice I'm gonna do things gradually and for this challenge I'll be removing grains from my diet. A - No Grains with 1 Cheat Day a weekC - No Grains with 2 Cheat Days a weekF - No Grains with 3 Cheat Days a week Goal 2 - Get in the Danger Room!I'm gonna introduce the BBWW into this challenge so I can maximise my weight loss ability alongside eating clean: A - Complete circuit 3x a weekC - Complete circuit 2x a weekF - Complete circuit once a week Goal 3 - Become Pyro's Enemy!Ok maybe not his enemy but at least annoy him. And what annoys a fire manipulator - water! I failed the water part of my first challenge so I'm bringing it back! A - Drink at least 1.5L of water dailyC - Drink 1L of water dailyF - Drink <500ml of water daily LIFE QUEST: Visit Uncle Nightcrawler I was actually born in Germany (but not a national - military brat, long story) but I love the language and enjoyed learning German at school. So now I wanna get back into it and I've got the duoLingo App on my phone. A - Complete 1 lesson 3x per weekC - Complete 1 lesson 2x per weekF - Complete 1 lesson per week Level 1 Wood Elf AdventurerChallenge(s) - Current Link to comment
RogueWelkin Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Love these challenges. If you had issues with some of these challenges perhaps it's best to ease into it more, a lot of the most successful people have taken baby steps. For example instead of doing "Paleo" as your goal, make it a step towards paleo. Cut out just grains, or just dairy. Or even be more specific. Like cut out just bread, or rice, or milk, or yogurt, etc. This way you start building the habit without having to give up too much at once. Good Luck!

RogueWolf Posted July 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Very valid point RogueWelkin! I've edited my "Paleo" goal and I'll start things off by cutting out grains Thank you Level 1 Wood Elf AdventurerChallenge(s) - Current Link to comment

annie1120 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Your goals are looking good. I wish you luck with learning German. I know only how to say thank you and your welcome. My cousins family is German and they had a cousin come over years ago, I think I was like 10, I learned a bit, but it never really stuck.

Tateman Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Great goals. I was a military brat too, but never was overseas. I took 2 years of German in high school. Always wanted to go. My son is going to start having some german lessons in the coming school year, so maybe I can pick it back up too. Good Luck! Tateland.com, Instagram, Fitbit Link to comment
GingaNinja Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 These are some great looking goals, good luck with your challenge! Water can be so tricky, I highly recommend some sort of water bottle thing so you can keep it with you at all times if you don't have one. Be More Ninja Current Challenge Instagram Link to comment
Blaidd Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Hey Rogue, howsit going there? I struggle with giving up the grains, so i totally feel you. This challenge i've decided to give up refined snacking. Well only 90% of the time (i'm a baker so i need to try my own food every now and then, when the desire strikes). How'd your first week go?

RogueWolf Posted August 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Morning all from damp and dreary England!! I am very, very sorry about my absence these past few weeks - things haven't really been going so great. First couple weeks were okay on the Paleo and Water front but I'm sad to say I haven't even completed any Bodyweight Circuits or attempted to plan things out I recently changed my dosage for the anti-depressants that I'm on, been working 12 hour days due to staff shortness and had a few relationship issues which I think, combined, caused me to lose motivation for most things in life. However I am trying to get back on it for this last week and a bit How are things going for you guys? Level 1 Wood Elf AdventurerChallenge(s) - Current Link to comment
Tateman Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Hey RogueWolf, stuff happens. We are still here for you Glad to see you back. It's never too late to start back up. Things have been going pretty well for me as of late. I have struggle with my step count, but this week I feel like I am powering through it. Hope everything is turning back around for you.
