FaePrice Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Let's do this challenge!!! I am VERY excited to get started today. Best wishes everyone! Link to comment
FaePrice Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Kishi, Techmom, and Gryfudd, do you guys have challenge threads yet? If so, please post so we can find you! Link to comment
Teirin Posted November 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 I think there's some availability through the week, but not a great deal. My free evening is Wednesday and I'm home around 8:30 Eastern Tuesdays and Thursdays. Other than that, I'm booked through the week. What is everyone else's availability? Preferably in Eastern time for simplicity in matching up schedules. Behave yourself, badly if necessary. Current Challenge Judo - Shodan My Character Link to comment
Teirin Posted November 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Kishi's is here: http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/39144-strawberries-are-delicious/ I don't think Gryffudd has one yet and Techmom has not yet reset her password so I have no idea if she's joining us or not. She's traveling this week and unlikely to get to it. Behave yourself, badly if necessary. Current Challenge Judo - Shodan My Character Link to comment

FaePrice Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 I like seeing all the things you have done. It inspires me to keep working away at my to-do list. This weekend I:- finished putting plastic on the windows- made chocolate cream cheese brownies- went to the library to return and pick up books - I have Becoming a Supple Leopard to read! It looks fascinating.- grocery shopping at two stores- raked the front lawn- sorted a box of art and repacked most of it- roasted veggies and started making borscht- prepared dances to teach tonight- read a novel- started my new log book- did an hour of PT- washed the windows on my car inside and out and treated the outside with Rainex When I think it over I usually don't feel like I got much done. I focus on the things I missed more than the things I did. When I list it as I go I can see that I really was productive.Yay!!! I love this. >D Link to comment
Mistr Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Are you guys ever available on a weekday? I'm available some evenings. Tuesday and Thursday tend to be good. Friday is my favorite aikido class in the evening. The timing might get challenging with the time zones. The earliest I could be home and online is 7pm Eastern during the week.

Gryffudd Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 My new thread: http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/39564-gryffudds-third-challenge/#entry767487 Hm, if we're moving game night to Mondays, I should be relatively free Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, school work excepting.

Kishi Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Fae, thanks for stopping in! Anyway, I don't know which weekdays are gonna work, or what times will work for that matter. I've got a third job now at UPS that I'm working in the evenings, and it's looking to be a Monday-Friday kind of thing for now. I might get some time off, and I might not; I don't really know the game right now. Work like a farmer, train like an athlete, fight like a soldier. 2 Tim. 2:3-6 BATTLE! Link to comment

Kishi Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Still have to meditate and do technical work, but the morning mobility is done and out of the way. Work like a farmer, train like an athlete, fight like a soldier. 2 Tim. 2:3-6 BATTLE! Link to comment

It sounds like for this challenge you are going to be trying alternate day sleeping instead of alternate day eating. Seriously, take care of yourself. You are pushing really hard. At some point you are going to need to take a break. I can see how the morning meditation would be very helpful. Level 68 Viking paladin My current challenge Battle log Link to comment

At some point you are going to need to take a break. I can see how the morning meditation would be very helpful. You're right. I'll have to at some point. The only hope I have, then, is that when that time comes, I'll be in a position where I can afford it. If I can't, then... it's gonna cost me something that I don't want it to. But! No reason to be grim until it's time. Work like a farmer, train like an athlete, fight like a soldier. 2 Tim. 2:3-6 BATTLE! Link to comment

Anyone else?! Link to comment
Teirin Posted November 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 That knocked my week out of the water! Congrats on getting so much done! My funny failure this week is an old one, from Saturday. I was trying to get upside down from the dip handles on my power tower, did not have it far enough away from the wall, and flipped by accident. This resulted in smashing one foot into the closet door, bending the (flimsy) handle some and damaging my foot. I thought I broke a toe but it's healing very quickly so it probably isn't busted after all. The plum colouring and swelling are pretty much gone already. Other than that judo went really badly last night. Nobody is hurt and nothing permanent happened but I had a tiff with my Sensei and ended up very upset. Workout didn't happen. Hanging out with Techmom and some other friends tonight and drinking some whipped cream flavoured vodka. Not much though, just a little. Behave yourself, badly if necessary.

Teirin Posted November 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Is anyone available this weekend for a call? If so, when? If not, cool. We can't seem to get everyone at once. Behave yourself, badly if necessary. Current Challenge Judo - Shodan My Character Link to comment
Gryffudd Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 That sucks about your sensei, especially when you're looking at getting back in fully again. I'll be available. I'm off Sunday afternoon to see my niece perform in a youth orchestra, but I should be back a couple hours before the call. Link to comment
Kishi Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 I don't think it's going to work out for me to join y'all tomorrow. I have church tomorrow evening to serve, and then there's a write-in to do at 8 PM. Ah, November. A time when flights of fancy turn to all the words written at all the wrong times.

Teirin Posted November 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 We do have a Techmom this challenge! She's signed up but will do some posting this week as she's heading back home tomorrow morning. Or I hope she will :-) Behave yourself, badly if necessary.

Teirin Posted November 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 It doesn't really sound like anyone is up for a call tonight. Maybe Wednesday when FaePrice might be able to make it? Behave yourself, badly if necessary. Current Challenge Judo - Shodan My Character Link to comment
Gryffudd Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 I forgot about it. Sorry. Link to comment
Teirin Posted November 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 When convenient, let us know how week 1 went. Week 1 summary: Judo - whole lot of fail, taught the kids but didn't practiceStrength training - twice, even if the second one was broken into 2Study - The O Uchi Gari article above, and more time watching these videos on an .Life - Sort of, I got some work stuff done in the lull and some Christmas shopping yesterday. Did some relaxing but it was a stressy end to the week. I did bow out of game time this afternoon to get things done. Behave yourself, badly if necessary.

Kishi Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Week 1 did not go badly. Had some unexpected difficulties arise, but having never donated plasma before, I wasn't sure what that would do in terms of physical stress or the time investment, but the time thing shouldn't be so big now and the donation isn't so bad if you've drank a lot of water. This week will go better, I'm sure of it. Work like a farmer, train like an athlete, fight like a soldier. 2 Tim. 2:3-6 BATTLE! Link to comment
