Haku's get-a-rhythm plan

[Kan]

That is uber expensive. Like, one of my paychecks expensive. And I get paid for two weeks XD.

Mind blank :l oh, it looks like you're doing really well in your challenge now. I think you got this one :3 Any ideas about your next challenge? Maybe you could swing in with us assassins.

Happy incredibly belated birthday! I sort of dropped off the forums for a while there. Also hoping this creepy guy showing up at your house is a thing of the past (srsly, I know the feeling. I've had to deal with more than one guy like that in the past. It's like I attract them or something.)

 

You seem to be rocking the challenge, congrats! And...when you become a film director, can you cast me in awesome roles? XD

 

And yeah, the HotToys figures are freaking amazing. The only bad thing about them (besides the price) is that it's hard to put on and take off certain accessories, or swap the figures' hands. The flexibility of the figures (the Thor and Loki ones, at least) is also lacking because of all the layers of fabric/plastic over them.

 

 

They're 500$ now? WTFFFFFF D:

Oh my gosh, Nax, you have those two..? I'm so jelly! I wish I had them too. For what price did you get them, then? Also, I've already had many people ask me to cast them in my films when I become a film director. *giggles* At least I'll have lots of actors to choose from. Hehehe. But yeah, sure. If there's a role that would fit you, I would see no reason why you couldn't play it. n_n Also, I'm happy to see you back on the forums again.

Indeed it's very expensive. Unfortunately. I wish I did have a Loki figurine like that... Ah well. Lack of money makes me not buy it. I need to save up money for motorbike lessons. Hehehe. As for my next challenge. Today I got scales for my birthday, so I am probably going to challenge myself to lose at least 2kg in the next challenge. I think I still will do this with the druids, because I also want to better my lifestyle even more, focus more on meditating and sleeping well and eating healthy. I really need to get those things on track properly first, before I can start doing any other things. Sleeping and eating are such basic things in life that I really am prioritising those things. I don't really know if I'd fit in the Assassin's anyway. Don't really know what I'd have to do there.

Unfortunately there's some illness going on here and everyone seems to have it. >.> Yet everyone seems to have different symptoms, which makes it even weirder. So today I'm staying at home and I'll go and sleep a lot, hoping that I will be able to let my body rest enough so I can start school again tomorrow. 

 

So my symptoms are a sore throat (it's all red, when I look in the back of my mouth) headaches, nausea, backaches... Everything feels heavy and just every part of my body seems to hurt. I also feel like I'm dehydrated (my pee is even a very dark colour) while I drink enough! I mean, I drink 2L of water every day, that should be enough right? Especially when I also eat watery veggies and fruits. So yeah, it's all very strange, but with a bit of luck and proper rest I hope to be live 'n kicking again tomorrow.

[Kan]

Oh oh! Is it an allergy season there, and have you had any sinus problems? Typically I have a chain I go through. Sinuses cause throat infection which in turn causes general illness. Just being sick period makes me feel achy and stuff.

Sleep is certainly the best remedy, and, if you can drink it, garlic saltwater. Garlic is a natural combatant of illness. Well, unless it's a throat infection. Then antibiotics works faster.

°~°

[Haku]

I don't really know what a sinus is, but it's not allergy season yet. Besides, I don't have any pollen allergies or anything. It's just that there's this virus going around and everyone is infecting everyone. In a school that goes super fast, because everyone is packed together in classes or in the cafeteria or in the hallways... It's easy for a virus to spread that way. 

 

I don't think I can drink garlic saltwater. xD *shiver* It sounds horrible and I'm pretty sure it'll upset my stomach. Thanks for the tip anyway. I'll just do lots of sleeping and water drinking.

[Haku]

So I guess this deserves a separate comment: today I've won EVERYTHING I could win on one day. So hurray for me!

 

Also, I was wondering about something. I am not able to do full push-ups. I've found myself a way to do push-ups, which is with my legs on the bed, so I only have to push up the weight from my torso. Sometimes I try to move a bit more to the front, so I also have to push up some weight of my upper legs. Anyway... When I do push-ups I get this weird itch in my bottom. x'D It's weird, I know, but it happens and it's annoying. Anyone know why this happens and how I can get rid of it?

[Kan]

O.o nope. Lol are you tensing there while doing them by chance? When i first started doing inverted pushups i felt like my head was going to explode due to an unkown tensing of something lol. I just hadvto focus on relaxing everything except my arms, shoulders and core.

But don't you need to tense your butt to keep your body straight then..? xD I'll see what I can do anyway to not have the itch. It really is an itch in the muscles, so indeed I am tensing them. But it just feels weird. x'D

[Kan]

Hmmm... I suppose that's true. Maybe tensing too hard? I'm sure it'll get figured out lol ðŸº

Today I went home in the afternoon, called in sick. I am not allowed to go to school again before I am completely recovered, or so the lady on the telephone said. She was quite rude, which was completely unnecessary. Let's just say she was having her period, or her husband was angry at her or something. Maybe she hit her toe on the desk. Who knows... Anyway, she was clearly not in a good mood.

You know what, I decided to make a list of things I like/love about my body today... With this list I will have finished five of the seven 6-week-goals and with that I will have completed that part of the challenge. All that rests is the outcome of today and this weekend, because I need to win 2 more days until I have successfully finished this 6-week-challenge and leveled up. Besides, I think that today is a good day to make a list like this. After all it's the day of love, so I might as well show my own body some love, right? So here it goes...

 

Things I like/love about my body:

I really like my eyes. Especially when I pull my ears backwards a bit, because it lifts my eyebrows just that bit that my eyes get a more open look. It makes me look curious, awake and confident. I think those things are great and sexy, so yeah... Sexy eyes. Hehehe. Might as well also talk about my eyebrows, because they have a wonderful shape and have nice and fine hairs that go in the right direction.

 

I love my hands. They do everything I want them to do. I can feel really well, plus they let me draw the stuff I want to draw. They also look a lot like my grandmother's hands (she passed away in 2003) so it's always like I have a bit of her with me. Plus my hands are great for massaging. And making things... My fine motor skills are great and because of that I get to do very precise work with my hands. (Yes, stopmotion animation, I'm looking at you, I get to make you properly. Hahaaaah!)

 

The little skin mole just above my upper lip. It makes me look unique, I think. One time I was afraid it was gone (that I had scratched it off in a try to get a pimple to go away) and I was very sad about that, but fortunately it is still there. Never want to lose it, I think it looks cool.

 

My belly button. I have no clue why, but I like it. xD I may be ashamed of my belly, but my belly button is alright. It's not one of those popping-out belly buttons. It's just a little hole. 

 

I like my skin. I don't get sun burned easily, plus my skin is really soft. Everywhere are tiny little fluffy hairs that are almost invisible. Of course everyone has them, but mine are super soft, which makes my skin very soft to touch too. Maybe it's silly to like it, but hey... Everyone's got this silly thing they like, right?

 

I like my feet. Even though sometimes I may have a weird skin reaction on them (which is usually when I have been eating poorly, so it's entirely my fault, not my feet's fault) I think they're great. My feet bring me everywhere, carry me the whole day and the shape isn't bad either. Yeah. They're beautiful. I know many people are ashamed of their feet, but not me. n_n I love my feet. I don't like that one weird hair growing on my big toe though. xD Then again, it's easy to pluck it out.

 

I like the little bit of brown stripe I have on my right shin. Appearantly humans are naturally striped (or so I've heard) but all our stripes are skin colour so you don't really get to see it. They're called Blaschko lines. Some people have visible lines like that and I think that the silly little stripe I have on my shin is a piece of such a line. I've had it since my birth (I asked my mum a while ago) and I always thought it was some kind of scar, even though it only looked like a different colour skin, not so much scar-like. So yeah, when I learned about Blaschko lines I asked my mum about that bit on my shin and since it is something I have since my birth I assume it's a part of those Blaschko lines. And I like the idea of that part being visible on my leg. Haha!

 

 

 

So yeah, that's my list of things I like. There, I've finished my 6-week-goals. Now I only need to win today and one more day in the weekend and then I've leveled up. n_n Level 2, here I come!

And with this post my challenge is completely over. I've finished it successfully. Hurray for me!

 

I have already got some ideas for the next six-week-challenge, so I can level up to lv.3 . I'm looking forward to it.

[Haku]

When I look back at this challenge I think I have done really well. It was my 2nd challenge and this time I managed to level up. The previous challenge was a flop. 

 

Anyway, I think I have found a way for myself to set up a system that works... Like with this challenge. Now that I have managed to get my life a bit back on track again I want to focus on losing weight the next challenge. Since I find losing weight very difficult I won't set the goal too high for myself, so I can still achieve it. There will still be goals for sleeping, because it is something I really need to focus on. Plus I need to have a goal for taking my vitamin pill (yes, it's one now that I have to take, not multiple) because I keep forgetting that and when I have it as a goal it's a great reminder.

 

I am thinking of giving each daily goal their own exp. bar and also categorising some goals for certain stats, so I can level up my stats too. I don't want to end up as a level 7 sorcerer with only 1's and 2's for their stats. x'D Hahaha! That would be silly. So yeah. Plans... I think I'll manage.

[Ahyar Dreamspark]

Congrats on getting your life back on track and rocking the challenge!

 

Regarding weight loss: you might have lost some weight already just by adding more veggies to your diet. Adding veggies and removing junk is a big part of losing weight, so you've already got a head start on the next challenge :3

Thanks. Unfortunately I haven't lost any weight this challenge, which is really a pity. But that's exactly why I'm going to focus on that the next challenge. And as long as I stick to my plan I'll succeed. n_n I just need to cut out the sugary stuff I usually eat, because that's the only bad thing, really.

[Kan]

The assassins are pretty good at weight control The beginners bodyweight workout is really efficient, easy and pretty fun really. Yep diet is a big factor in weight control. I think regular exercise is just as important though.

Oh did your supplements come in yet?

ðŸº

Hahaha, you just want me to join the assassins, don't you? You sly person, you. Hahaha! I agree with you that exercise is very important, but I am pretty sure that when I am able to stop eating sugary stuff I will lose weight really fast. Besides that I just need to get better (since I'm ill at the moment) and then I can cycle to school again. That's 5km to school and 5km back home, so every day I would have at least 40 minutes of exercise when I go by bike. PLUS when I'm better again I can go to the gym again too. Hurray!

 

The supplements came in indeed. Yesterday and today I already took it and it's a HUGE pill. O_O But at least it'll help me. The food consultant told me I'm supposed to notice difference in my need for sugar in about 1 or 2 weeks, so I'm curious whether I'll really notice that. As soon as my body just understands it's supposed to work normally instead of only working in survival-mode things will go very easily, she said. So yeah, I'm looking forward to that.
