Cavilie Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 My overall goal is to be awesome like this: I’m here, making a late start to the challenge! The last month has been full of travel, studying and a lot of life changes. My husband just left for work on the other side of the country and I just started term 4 of medical school, and I am just now getting grounded enough to start this challenge. Last challenge was really good for me in terms of being active, but eating well was a struggle (especially towards the last few weeks). In this challenge, I want to keep working towards my main quest of self-acceptance and being able to do awesome stuff.I still have a packed fitness schedule. Gymnastics is Monday, Wednesday, Saturday; trapeze is Thursday (and maybe Monday); circus conditioning is Sunday; spin on Friday; aerial yoga on some Fridays; and maybe hot yoga on Saturdays. I think I need to add some more cardio in my life again, so I am going to keep a gym bag at school and try to get to the campus gym when I have some breaks. I look forward to getting into a full fitness schedule again – I have fallen off track with my winter vacation and I miss the sanity and happiness that frequent physical activity brought to my life. Goals:Diet: Eat out less! Eat out less than 6 times during this challenge. I can still get coffees at school, but any snack counts towards the total. Success à A = 6, B = 7, C = 8, D = 9, F = 10+.Prepare my food in advance. I did a big freezer cook at the start of January so my dinners are ready for the month. I need to do this again in February. I plan to make my weekly school snack and lunches on Sundays. Smoothies for breakfast every day! 6 Sundays. 1 big cook. Fitness: Do my daily workout – see attached google doc. Success = 6 times per week. Ideally, I will do the work out in the morning BUT I can still succeed if I sleep in and do it at some other part of the day. I want to get strong so I can be MORE AWESOME at gymnastics and trapeze! For those who don’t want to look at the doc, the daily workout includes handstands, kicks, splits, frog, pull ups, push ups, walkovers and bridge stuff. It may get edited down a little if what I have is too much work. Life:I am doing some traveling this year! I need to save money. Eating out less is part of saving money. But I need to start budgeting. This goal has 2 parts:1. Finish my financial to do list (hopefully done this weekend)· Update my mint.com budget.· Update automated payments to new account· Pay tuition and outstanding bills.2. Put every expense in my mint.com budget. Including the coffee I buy with cash. And parking. Everything!!

Figlet Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Glad to see you back!Subbed to see what happens. I want to hear every minute of your trapeze and aerial training! I want to do some and there is an aerial gym in town but I think I have to lose some more weight and gain some more upper body strength before I could do it.

This time, to be eligible for the most wanted list of the challenge, to allow us to have more data about the guild and many other good reasons, the most important being: you don't want to make your Robot guild leader cry :'(, please report a summary of your challenge wrap-up in this online form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1szgyHJNfrdtRWfCwCMKbC5Q3IiGziI_enFGsBzNRfo0/viewform It shouldn't take you more than 2 minutes of your time, but it would save us a lot! As Usual, you can also write a more detailed report in the Challenge wrap-up thread:http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/44145-challenge-wrap-up-thread/ And in your own thread.

Cavilie Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Hey all! Sorry for dropping off the face of the earth. Life happened and other excuses like that. But fear not, for my circus-y and gymnastic-y adventures have continued and I will continue to grow as an assassin in the new 6-week challenge. And I'll check in more next time, promise.
