Batwoman: Slayer of Dragons

[Batwoman]

 

 

Back for my 5th?!?! challenge. Time flies when you are searching for gifs on the internet.

 

Getting back to ass-kickery on this challenge. 

 

Fitness

 

                (+3 STR)

                             

 

♦ 20 consecutive push-ups

                                               

Is this crazy? I don’t know. I set high goals for myself and I can usually reach them. So I figure I’ll set the push-up mark high to really “push” myself. I’m going to steadily increase the amount of push-ups that I do day-to-day.

 

 

 

 

 (+3 DEX)

 

 

♦ Interval sprints once a week.

 

Self-explanatory.

 

 

 

Diet

 

 

(+2 CON +1 CHA)

 

 

Grilling outside at least once a week (may be modified)

 I love grilling in nice weather. This might not be much of a challenge, but it will provide me with Vitamin D and delicious meats for devouring. Paleo/Primal eating has become a no-brainer, so this quest is more to get me outside more.

Perhaps I will add some different objectives like grilling seafood or finding/making a smoker. We will just have to see where this quest takes us.

 

 

 

Life

 

 

 

(+2 STA +1 STA)

 

 

Wake-up at 430am

 

Some may think this is crazy. Most people will think this is crazy. I have to wake up at 5am to get to work on time, but I would like to wake up a little bit earlier to start the day with exercise/stretching. I’ll try to wake up at 430 Monday – Saturday. Keeping Sunday for a rest day… just as the lord intended.

 

 

(+2 WIS +1 CHA)

 

 

 resume, portfolio site, job hunting

 

This is boring stuff, but stuff I need to take the time to do. I don’t see a lot of growth potential at my current workplace and I am not doing exactly what I want to be doing. It is time to get the ball rolling on this task.

 

 

Side Quests (+3 DEX)

 

I kind of stole this idea from ApfelStrudi. Variety is the spice of life, so I would like you (my friends) to give me side quests. This can be anything. I’m not scared. I will however make a request that my bendy friends challenge me with bendy things, because I am so very un-bendy.

Reward: Sword!

 

 

time to slay some dragons!

 

[Mad Hatter]

Challenge!!!! Dragons!!! Oh boy this is going to be EPIC!!!

[Jittersthe.Clown]

Time to get creative on your side quests.  

 

 

 

4:30 wake up is Boss!

[Raxie]

Ummm that sword is awesome. Just saying.

 

Also hooray for another 430AM riser!  It's great!  Really it is!  I swear! I'm not lying.

 

 

In all seriousness though, it sucks the first few minutes but it makes the rest of the day much awesomer when you start out with some movement.

 

20 pushups is a lot, but I'm sure you can do it.  Especially after how much push up progress you made during your first challenge, if you put your nose to the mud you'll nail that goal no problem.

This I can belive, the 4:30 part no.

1. Sup!

2. First!! (side quest)

3. Are you really getting a sword?

4. If so, what is your reason for getting a sword?
5. Have you seen the documentary on the Ulfbert sword? Believe it's on Netflx?

[Mad Hatter]

Does she need a reason? Swords are fun! And practical! You can chop both melons AND people with them.

[AlexCold]

No, not really. Most people buy swords and just have them sitting around. I know she's not most people, thus my curiosity.

[Mad Hatter]

She needs cutlery for her BBQ challenge. Duh.

[Raxie]

[trendywendypdx]

Yeah for the 4:30am crew!  We even got up at that time while on our mini-vacation this past weekend.  I find it's easier to do that and to take a nap later on, to keep the flow. 

 

I'm in!

[Teros]

4:30 sounds reasonable to me. I'm a 5am person so it doesn't seem like much of a stretch.

[iatetheyeti]

So much enthusiasm for 4:30am, and here I was thinking it sounded almost painful (really, really not a morning person...).

 

And on the other hand, yay swords!

 

Following along for awesomeness

[vengefulpear]

Huzzah for dragon challenges  

 

Dragons + Batwoman = âˆž awesome!

 

 

I know you're going to be so awesome I look forward to the crazy  

[Talvi]

Firstly, holy cow Batwoman!  You've made me want a sword.

 

Second: I wouldn't be able to stop myself from finding the nearest fire swamp and battling some R.O.U.S!

 

[Lilith]

I love your challenge story! Woohooo! I started playing Skyrim again (yesterday ) and I've already experienced the dreaded can't fast travel with enemies nearby.  

 

Btw, please tell me you're not going to bed really late too because then you'd have almost no beauty sleep time! 

[ApfelStrudi]

Yay for more questy-things! I love that it's spreading through the guild I can't wait for the food porn. Just yesterday I invited a coworker for barbecue but it's still a bit cold here for it.

But.

He told me about this customer's birthday (said customer has his own event agency, so he's pretty darn rich).

They had 10 chefs at this birthday party, who grilled on 10 Weber grills (not sure if they're a thing in America, they're pretty much the best you can get here I believe) and he says he's never tasted anything even close to that before.

[ApfelStrudi]

Also! Yes. Skyrim. I actually downloaded it again thanks to you Haven't had the chance to play it yet, but I will!

[Batwoman]

Challenge!!!! Dragons!!! Oh boy this is going to be EPIC!!!

 

YES!!! YESSSSS!!!!!

 

 

Time to get creative on your side quests.  

 

 

4:30 wake up is Boss!

 

 

I am quite scared.

 

 

 

Ummm that sword is awesome. Just saying.

Didn't realize that there was such a huge following of morning people here. I dig it. Maybe we need an early risers club w/ challenges and t-shirts

 

I'm not scared of any amount of push-ups and I am stubborn enough that I can make it happen.

5. Have you seen the documentary on the Ulfbert sword? Believe it's on Netflx?

 

1. Yo.

 

2. Oooo I'll have to find some large fallen tree or something or maybe I'll squat my dog if she won't fuss

 

3. Yes.

 

4. Love them. Always wanted swords, axes, maces, shields, generally things of destruction. Recently I've been thinking about learning proper sword play. It's one thing to hang stuff on your wall and it is an entirely different thing to be able to use it. I'd like to think that if I had to defend my castle I would be well equipped... or I would like to be.

 

5. I have not, but I will watch it at lunch today

I'm in!

 

Oooo we have a vacation next weekend!!! We rented a cabin in the middle of nowhere. I do not want to interact with anything but Jenn, my dog, and comic books for two whole days.

 

My favorite part of the primal blueprint is when he says naps are important. Truer words have never been put down on paper.

 

Weeeeeeeee!

 

 

4:30 sounds reasonable to me. I'm a 5am person so it doesn't seem like much of a stretch.

 

I wake up at 5am every day for work. For some reason that 430am alarm gets shut off every day. I just can't bring myself to get out of bed. I'm sure I just need some settle mind hacks to get me to not hit the snooze button anymore. It's only 30 minutes!

 

 

So much enthusiasm for 4:30am, and here I was thinking it sounded almost painful (really, really not a morning person...).

I never thought of myself as a morning person either. I liked to stay up late in my early 20s. Looking back at the quality of production I got from staying up late versus getting up early there is no question that I get more quality time from waking up early.

 

Swords are the best.

 

Thanks for stopping in

THANKS!

 

Dragons are so much win. Now I want to go watch dragon movies and game of thrones. Someone add that to the quests?

We should all have swords.

Thanks! I'm glad I inspired you to play Skyrim again. It is so much fun.

 

I go to bed at like 9 every night. I am just becoming an old lady.

I think that our grill at home is Weber. I can't remember... we lovingly call it Fireball.

 

I'm excited for random questy things. Jenn is so going to love skipping hand-in-hand

 

 

Also! Yes. Skyrim. I actually downloaded it again thanks to you Haven't had the chance to play it yet, but I will!

 

It is an awesome game. It's 3 years after its release and it still looks awesome and plays awesome.

 

Why am I at work? I should be playing more Skyrim.

[JenniferStark]

Yes, our beloved Fireball is a Weber, I'm pretty sure they are the best.  I am looking forward to the skipping.  I think Tuesday after work sounds like a great time for skipping.

The side quest idea is great, it will keep things fresh all challenge long!

[The Most Loathed]

I'm glad to see so much love for the early riser crew. I'm been thinking about pushing my wake back from 5 to 4:30 then my dog decided to do it for me. Alas, I've not been taking advantage of the extra time in the morning. It looks like I'll have to if I want to keep up with you lot.

FIREBALL LIVES!

 

I wonder if we can strap the go pro somewhere so we can get skip-cam.

Our dog will wake us up at the first sign of movement from slumber camp. It sounds like our tea is ready, but really it is just a whiny dog that wants to go outside.

 

It usually takes me about 10 minutes to fully realize that I'm awake if the time is before 5. Maybe I just need to roll out of bed and start doing push-ups. That is both productive and will wake me right up!

1.

 

2. Dogbert would be awesome. Please capture in either images to create gif or in video.

 

3. Awesome!

 

4. Me TOO!! The sword and shield play has always fascinated me. As a kid I would make wooden swords and shield quite often. I don't know who would teach swordplay around here, but I'd love to learn. The conditioning would be                   awesome. Not to mention the chicks...am I right? But for serious, more modern weapons are available for defending the castle. May I suggest a shotgun??

 

5. Cool, it's called Secrets of the Viking Sword.
