Since I inadvertently posted in the old thread, I'll copypaste here.

 

Hi guys. I'm new to the group for this challenge. I kinda disappeared from Nerd Fitness for a while, but now I'm back for the long haul. I don't recognize most of your names, but I'm pretty sure I was in a group with Tateman for the first challenge I did. 

[SirHammerlock]

Welcome, swarneke! Have a good challenge!

[goodbye_farewell]

I'm in! Best of luck to everyone. Here is my challenge.

[SirHammerlock]

Hey wovercast, welcome back!

[Darth Shoes]

Hello rogues!! Glad to see you all back!  Check out my signature for my newest challenge!

[SirHammerlock]

Aaaaand here is Joooohhhnnny! WB!

[Tateman]

Glad to see people coming back, and new members as well  My 5th challenge thread

 

It seems like I get to start the challenge of fighting a cold. 

 

So far it doesn't seem a horrible type cold yet.  Hopefully, it doesn't get much worse.

[GingaNinja]

I am  down!

[SirHammerlock]

Hey Tateman, wb! Hope for you that cold doesn't get worse, take some precautions .

 

@KingLeeroy: Welcome back, too! It's nice to get the old gang back together again. 

 

@all: Anybody heard anything about Welkin?

[RogueWelkin]

So I took long hard look at how my last challenge went (I actually finished but never posted my final stuff. Maybe I'll do that sometime today, not sure if I can give myself the Ability points and level though). I had gotten a bit sick, and also depressed and focused heavily on the fact that outside of the challenges I fail, which made me fail a lot within the challenge (not completely though!). I came to the decision that would forgo doing the current challenge so I can focus on improving myself when I only have myself to be accountable to.

 

 

Today I changed my mind, and I'm totally back in for the challenge. You can find my new challenge thread here.

[SirHammerlock]

Hey Welkin, great you`re back on again, we missed you! You`re going to rock this challenge!

Nice. Welcome back.

[telemon]

Hello all! I've been away for awhile but am ready to go again. I am sure this is going to be a great challenge. Good luck everyone.

[Tateman]

This colds been keeping me out the last couple of days, but I'll be fighting back soon

[SirHammerlock]

Hey all, sorry for dropping out the last two days, but my birthday has been kinda keeping me up and I didn't have time to read the forums. Hope everyone is doing fine so far.

 

@telemom: Welcome (back), and welcome to RogueSquadron!

[RogueWelkin]

Ha, I forgot to follow this topic and here I thought people were ignoring it. Glad to see I didn't kill all conversation like I thought! 80D

[GingaNinja]

Glad you are back Rogue,

 

How is everyone finding their first week?

 

Mine has gone pretty well so far, hitting my goals well!

[telemon]

Doing great so far... Hitting the exercise goals pretty solidly and have gotten started on the taxes (gotten most of the documents together and organized - a few left to gather up from the shop)... next step start logging everything in the ledger. The horror. :-P

[goodbye_farewell]

Week 1 was pretty average for me... hoping to find my groove next week!

[RogueWelkin]

Week 1 proved a bit off for me. Coming into the challenge later than usual, fighting to get back into routines and eat normally. I'm expecting a rough challenge ahead, but that's good if I fight to get into the routine hopefully it'll play out into making sticking with it easier going forward.

[swarneke]

Week 1 was mostly good for me. I messed up a couple times with eating, but I'm trying hard not to dwell on it and just focus on week 2. Changing my eating habits is definitely going to be what I struggle with the most.

[telemon]

Week 1 Report:

Lose 5 lbs. - current 229.0 (start 231.0)

exercise 3 times per week - done plus a 1.5 hour snow/slush shoveling workout

finish taxes by end of challenge - got most of the necessary paperwork together and organized.

A pretty good start - woot!

[Tateman]

I've been out with my cold, but things seem to be better so far.  Still lost weight this week.  I am almost back to where I was at before I ran the Spartan race.

[SirHammerlock]

My first week was overall ok. I got into Hulk-Mode, learned pretty much about myself and did my workouts. I had a few times where I didn't stick to my food-plan and doing the meal plan I got out of the Rebel Strength Guide isn't that easy cause I am travelling at least twice a week (between my small apartment and the main one I got with my fiancée), but I try to at least don't eat things that aren't paleo and that aren't on the meal plan. I.E. yesterday I had beerbattered fried fish which wasn't paleo of course but it has been one of my favourites before I started paleo and I hadn't had that in quite a long time - apart from that I stayed paleo. 

 

And @all regarding losing weight: I knew a guy once who started losing weight by weighing himself once a month and telling himself he wouldn't be fussed about how much weight he would loose but he had to weigh in with fewer weight than the month before. Perhaps everyone should be pleased with loosing even a little weight, it's a step towards the right direction.
