iatetheyeti Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Hey, kiwi, looks like things are going well for you Ever since I read your posture goal I've been catching myself slouching whilst sitting down... Heh, should really thank you for that! "The old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring."

bluekiwi1 Posted March 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 KIWI!!! Where did you go? How have your weeks been? Second lullaby! Where's our kiwi????!!!! :hopelessness: :hopelessness: I am here! Just a quick update before I run back to work. I had a really bad migraine attack last week (last Tuesday to be exact). It lasted for two days. I even threw up my lunch and dinner *sniffs* along with the Tylenols I was trying to take. The prescribed med wasn't as effective as it would had been since I took it after the migraine attack had started for a couple of hours. I felt a little bit better on the third day, but got dragged down by a cluster headache later that day. Eventually, I had to take two doses of the Advil night time pills to knock myself out. I slept a lot over the weekend. Finally felt much better on Monday, but work has been super crazy with a bunch of deadlines. Anyhow, I am alive, but so tired of the cold, the headaches, and my depressing mood... Ugh. On a brighter note, I am keeping up with my sugar goal... given that I have been eating pretty bland so that I don't trigger another migraine... >.> Posture is getting better when I am not sleeping. Dunno how to correct my posture when I am asleep... mmmmm... I did lift heavy stuff when I felt better. But, I didn't increase weights or anything. Just did my usual reps +1 extra. I will come back with a more detailed summary. Hope you are all doing well! Thanks for checking on me! Rawr! 3 Challenge: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 | Recipes | Level 6.

AshPS Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 WHOOOOO HOOOOOOOO for kiwi!!!!! Though Big Huge BOOOOOs on those headaches. We need to find our kiwi a headache slaying sword. And I have no idea how to improve posture while sleeping, lol. Good to hear that beyond the headaches you are still rocking and I send you many hugs! Looking forward to your next check in!

lullaby88 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Yay! Kiwi's back! I missed seeing the Kiwi-ninja around. Ugh....migraines....those do not sound fun. Never experienced one myself. Hopeful the migraine monster can be slain soon. You still did good with what you had. That's a plus in my book.

bluekiwi1 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 So work has been super crazy and getting into my play time. Sigh. Life of being an adult. Anyhow, I am still sticking to my goals and hitting targets for my weight training. Still a bit off from being able to lift my own body weight, but if I could lose a few more pounds.. Mmm... Summary of Challenge so far.... Goal 1: Focus on Sugar in Stuff I EatBecause of my recent migraine that seemed to be caused by having too much sugar, I have been extremely cautious about how much sugar I consume each day. So I would definitely give myself a B for now. Goal 2: Focus on Strength TrainingI have been lifting weights 3 times a week and increasing reps each time. Definitely can deadlift 100 lb now. Still a bit of struggle, but I can do it in good posture without knees wobbling. I would give myself an A. Goal 3: Focus on PostureStanding posture is definitely getting better. But my posture for sitting is still a struggle. I will keep working on this! Rawr! I give myself a B. Life Quest: Focus on Getting Work DoneI am not doing well at all for my life goal. I give myself a F. 1 Challenge: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 | Recipes | Level 6. Kiwi Bird: Rawr! | Team Blogs I stalk: Mark's Daily Apple | Nom Nom Paleo | Ancestral Chef | Greatist | Link to comment

bluekiwi1 Posted April 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Rawr! I am here! Just been super busy with work and stuff. Summary of Challenge: Goal 1: Focus on Sugar in Stuff I EatI am doing well on sugar and slaying sugar monsters and such. Rawr! I gave myself a solid B on this goal. Goal 2: Focus on Strength TrainingI am holding steady for 100 lb on deadlifts and have increased weights for bench press, overhead press, squats, lunges, arm and leg exercises throughout this challenge. I can definitely more muscle definition, but still working on the layer of fat. Flabby will not win! I gave myself an A on this goal. Goal 3: Focus on PostureMy posture is much better after this challenge. But, I hurt my left shoulder somehow. It's been really sore for the last couple of days. Not really sure how I hurt it. :\ Anyhow, I gave myself a B on this goal. Life Quest: Focus on Getting Work DoneI am doing better on my life quest and getting things done. Slowly, but steadily. 3 Challenge: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 | Recipes | Level 6. Kiwi Bird: Rawr! | Team Blogs I stalk: Mark's Daily Apple | Nom Nom Paleo | Ancestral Chef | Greatist | Link to comment
