The Borg Queen Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Sounds like you guys are open to the idea of mini challenges, partner work, and a Facebook group. That's righteous ! I will deliver all three things by the end of the day. And! If you have any ideas for a fun mini challenge or something you think we should be doing, please let me know. 1 Class and Profession: Level 23 Borg Queen Link to comment
rogaecia Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 I like the idea of posting daily/semi-daily "awesome things" we did. I think jotting down things we appreciate/make us feel how awesome we are is a great idea. I'm trying a new thing where I will post on two people's thread per day. It can be people that I have been following from day 1 or new people. Just scouting around and cheering people on makes me feel good. 2 Current Challenge Link to comment

The Borg Queen Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Yeah!!!! That is awesome Have you been doing anything different or just running your bum off up hills? Weightloss is not my main focus. I actually haven't lost any weight in... what has it been... 4 months? I don't think the size change happened suddenly. In fact, it might have occurred a while ago, but I rarely buy jeans so I've just been tightening my belt and moving on with my life. Sort of anticlimactic, I know. But I'm a size 8 now! Cheer! 1 Class and Profession: Level 23 Borg Queen Link to comment

The Borg Queen Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Okay, I'll start writing about the hardest thing this challenge. It's pretty easy because I'm working on it (read: procrastinating) right now. I'm looking for jobs, and for some reason I just hate applying. I hate writing the same things over and over, I hate job interview questions, and I really hate being put under the microscope, or worse... not being considered at all. Everything is exacerbated by the fact that I am in the midst of a nearly 180 degree career change, and maybe even a full career 360? It's a trying time of job searching and self searching. On my thread, a friend of mine pointed out that I need focus more on the process instead of the failure and the whining, along with the frustration of not having the new job that I want. My ideas are: 1. Do it a set amount of time each week. Have a time goal and stick to it. 2. Apply for a set number of positions each week, even if they don't look like exactly the right job, just to get my resume out there. ...Any thoughts?

Part 1: ran across the I-5 bridge from Washington to Oregon. The bridge is about 3/4 of a mile. I am scared of water and bridges. I have run across it before, but it was a long time ago. Here is a picture: Part 2: I think my biggest challenge this time around is getting up for runs in the cold weather. I typically run in shorts and knee highs because I don't own running tights and the prospect of getting out of bed to go run in the cold is such a turn off. I also get really anxious when I work and have to do longer runs before work. I was considering just getting up earlier. That worked once, but I am not sure it is sustainable. This week I have shorter runs (3miles) and I know I can get them done in a reasonable time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Current Challenge Link to comment

The Borg Queen Posted January 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Rogaecia, it is so cool that you ran over the i5 bridge! Truly awesome. For running outside in the cold, I think you just gotta do it and hope you will warm up during the course of the run. You know, I used to run in jeans a lot during the winter. If it's super cold like it has been, you could try that. You could also mix it up with indoor training options (know anyplace that has a treadmill?) but then you wouldn't have such pretty bridge photos at the end. 1 Class and Profession: Level 23 Borg Queen Link to comment

I think posting on my thread or Facebook about my runs is helping me get out of bed. I think this next winter I will invest in running tights- so I can sleep in them and then get out of bed all toasty Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Current Challenge Link to comment
