Innoxium v4.0

[noxiousGnome]

Main Objective: Removing Bloatware

 

Main Goal: This challenge is all about removing the bloat, in my case that pesky stuff around my midsection and chest. So to do that I will start implementing a more rigorous workout regimen and fuel my body with the proper foods. Producing a leaner and more functional piece of equipment!

 

 

Goal 1: To start I am in severe need of controlling my food intake!

Two weeks ago (roughly) I started implementing the Paleo Diet, it has been pretty effective and easy going thus far for me. I hope to take it to the next level and beat LW’s 82 days of it, no cheating. Now, that’s gonna be hard cause I am still new to this, we shall see!

 

*Go Paleo 7 days a week (will take 6 as an A if not many done)

 

Goal 2: Working out the Bugs

When I started back up with the last challenge I decided to work on bodyweight exercises and jogging, I didn’t do to well completing that portion. This time I plan on conquering my laziness and doo eet!

 

*I will warm-up, jog, bodyweight exercises 3 times a week.

 

Goals 3: Functional Strength is okay, but what about the bending?

 

*I plan to do mobility training, by either mass stretching or mobilityWOD or something similar 2 days a week

 

Goal 4: All Work and No Play Makes Noxy a dull boy

So the last thing is simple, I need to have fun (else I go crazy, get bored, get discouraged, etc)…

 

*So two days out of the week I plan on doing whatever I want! So =P on you.

 

Life Goals:

Rock out at school! ‘Nuff said

Hello and welcome to the assassin guild! I am Apfelstrudi and I'm one of your guild leader. First of all, I want to thank you for having chosen our guild as your first one, it makes us really happy and proud. I really hope you will enjoy being with us and that you will find here all the support you need.

 

What you need to know.

Whatever you do, remember that your challenge is your priority. Mini-challenges, guild activities, PVP are not mandatory. They are here for you to have fun, discover new exercises, have some friendly competitions but they must not hinder your progresses. If a mini-challenge seems too overwhelming for you, just don't do it.

 

Being here with us will give you access to many other not mandatory activities, aka:

- Skill mini-challenge. The skill mini-challenge will start on Monday, February 24 and will last the whole challenge (aka 6 weeks). As the name may suggest, you will be asked to work on a skill over the course of the challenge.

 

- Mini-challenges: Every other Mondays (usually), a new mini-challenge will be published. These one lasts one week and will ask you to do some special exercises. Each mini-challenge can reward you some stat points after completions. More information will be displayed in the mini-challenges threads!

 

- PVP. PVP are competitions started by other members of the rebellion. If you enjoy measuring yourself to other, they may be the right thing for you. So, don't forget to check the PVP forum ( http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/forum/189-pvp-challenges/ ) to find or even make your own PVP! Remember to read the rules ( http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/33330-pvp-challenge-rules/ ) though  

 

What I expect from you!

Consistency, awesomeness and regular updates. One update at the end of the challenge won't do, we want to be able to see you are still here with us. One Update a week is a minimum. More would be even better  

 

Don't stay by yourself. If you want people to follow your thread and support you, you may have to do the same. You will probably find many people who share the same goals as you, go visit their thread, cheer on them and they will probably do the same.

 

Make sure you subscribe to the announcement thread:

http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/44300-guild-information-and-announcements-subscribe/

And if you don't want to subscribe, make at least sure you read it once a week. It is usually updated on Monday/Tuesday to present the new mini-challenge and Assassin most wanted list.

 

Don't stay by yourself bis! The assassin's den is open to all, you have funny gifs to share, a story to tell, needs some advices or just want a place to chat? The Assassin's den is the place to go (also, we have parkour corgis, ninja cats and killer sloth)!

http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/44299-assassins-den-general-chat-thread/

 

What else?

If you have any problems, questions or suggestions for the guild, feel free to send your guild leaders a PM. Also, we are still looking for journalists to work on the weekly most wanted list. The job is quite simple albeit a bit time consuming. PM Apfelstrudi for more details.

 

Sorry for the wall of text! I wish you luck for this challenge!

So far my day has been going as such:

 

Walked up and down the campus as needed, I took the elevator once today to get to a class, ankle has been bothering me (it popped harshly when on the bus this morning... Very strange) I would count this as cardio, but it's not entirely what I wanted to do.

 

Food thus far: I had a bunch of beef jerky today and some trail mix, will be eating an apple sometime between now and dinner and then beef stew tonight for foods. Haven't been highly motivated to do much of anything else. May try to do some exercising/more cardio tonight when I get home, or I will do something else fun and entertaining. Dunno yet, depends on energy levels, didn't sleep much last night >.<

[noxiousGnome]

Last night we had friendlys instead. i had baked salmon, broccoli and a coffee. so i counting yesterday's food quest good. didn't do anything when we got home. fell asleep it felt epic.

[raptron]

Sounds relaxing.

[noxiousGnome]

Oh it was heh

[noxiousGnome]

The start of this week has been no good. i failed pretty bad on all my gols this week. I had a bit of a ack week but turning it around. hoping to improve things starting today.

[noxiousGnome]

Food images ftw! I have a few from last challenge as well!

the mushroom bacon cheese burger was last challenge as was the eggs,spinach,garlic,bacon,sausage,and asparagus scramble.

Last night was the pizza! Made with almond flour.

hmm will upload the eggs and pizza in a bit heh.

[ApfelStrudi]

Hey innoxium! How did your week 1 go?

[noxiousGnome]

Not good too much going on. wasn't feeling the workout. eating was horrible. i was having a very meh week... hoping it turns around soon.

[noxiousGnome]

I think I figured out my unyielding miserable state of being.

 

It goes something like this:

 

Work has denied my change in availability form because they are royal assholes. I have been forced to leave college early (missing a class) in order to make it to work so I don't get fired. I changed my availability for Fridays for being able to work to being not available... I did this for two reasons: First I take public transportation to and from school, it's cheaper and what not. Sadly I have to take two buses to get from home to school, but to get from school to home I hope a bus and only can make it half way there every day Monday - Friday, my wife, or someone else, has to pick me up at the drop off point everyday. They told me it wasn't enough hours to work with, and apparently there isn't much I can do wiggle room for that.

 

They essentially gave me two reasons (well that they stated) and those are: School Leave (no pay) or I shift my schedule for them to a more acceptable time.

 

Now, here is the rub there. If I take school leave, which doesn't get paid, I am in a bind when it comes to helping my wife support our family. If I shift my schedule to a more acceptable time then my wife has to get our daughter around and drive down to get me between 11PM and midnight because I don't have my license yet AND even if I did we only have one vehicle.

 

In reality I have a few more options, one is to quit, but that puts me in the same boat as school leave. Or see if I can switch my last class Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to an Independent Study after midterms... Which probably isn't feasible. -sighs- SO I have no clue what the hell I am going to do. Dropping the class is too late because it is already effecting my GPA and it would cost me some crazy amount of money to do it.

 

I hate my job. -.-;;;
