Teros Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I think shopping should count as like double the workout! dealing with all those people and stuff =)Depends on if you start roundhouse kicking people that get in your way. That's some SERIOUS cardio. 2 Link to comment
Teros Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 So true ! But it was sunny outside so there were not a ton of people.I wanted to buy new shirts but god, 30 bucks for a t-shirts... I hate paying that price for simple shirts and they were all ugly as f**k. So I went back with nothing, sadly.Could get a NF shirt...... 2 Link to comment
nordentipwel Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Could get a NF shirt...... That's not a bad idea at all ! You know that's the 1st time in my life that I'm NOT happy by losing weight...Because losing weight mean less bodymass VS bodyfat so my % bodyfat is rising !...

nordentipwel Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I'm reading the FrostKing stuff. But I'm sad that doing more than this is not my priority for this challenge.With the new house, personnal project and other things, I've focused on other stuff.

nordentipwel Posted April 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 I was running for a couple of days. I didn't felt like doing strength workout... Don't know why. But well, tonight I came back to my old love and I've done 3 sets of15 push-ups15 dumbell bicep stuff with 20lbs on each arms:60 plank6 pull-ups Sixty seconds plank is not a walk in the park at all ! I'm also trying to eat more protein because I'm losing weight and at that point, this is not what I want at all. 1 Level 3 Norse AdventurerSTR 11 | DEX 0 | STA 10 | CON 0 | WIS 3 | CHA 0 Challenges: #3 #2 #1 My Fitbit: FitbitMy Group: RPG Fanatics"Life is a Tango, if you slip away, just continue dancing" Link to comment

nordentipwel Posted May 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Allright so, buying a BRAND-NEW place is A LOT of work.I consider all this a workout...Carrying a ton of heavy boxes, an oven, and all too heavy stuff a house needs. Standing up durings hours painting wall, ceiling and other things...I stayed up 12h today. I sat down 15 minutes to eat once... That hurts more than 200 squats, haha.By the way... It's not done yet, but it's probably good for the body. At least, boxes of heavy stuffs are easier to lift now that I train a lot! 2 Level 3 Norse AdventurerSTR 11 | DEX 0 | STA 10 | CON 0 | WIS 3 | CHA 0 Challenges: #3 #2 #1 My Fitbit: FitbitMy Group: RPG Fanatics"Life is a Tango, if you slip away, just continue dancing" Link to comment

nordentipwel Posted May 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Hey! I'm back!... Moving takes a lot of time, work and etc.That was like, the worst week for the last 4 months. I ate a ton of fast food because I had to place to cook really... I still tried to ate well like, salads and stuff even if I was "on the go".Working out was also really bad because I was totally exausted of moving from place to place because I'm not the owner of my new place at the moment and when I come home after work I just want to go to bed...But well, it takes less awesome weeks to have better ones ! And I think I'll probably fail this challenge. I don't think I'll have lost 1% bodyfat with all that, sadly. 1 Level 3 Norse AdventurerSTR 11 | DEX 0 | STA 10 | CON 0 | WIS 3 | CHA 0 Challenges: #3 #2 #1 My Fitbit: FitbitMy Group: RPG Fanatics"Life is a Tango, if you slip away, just continue dancing" Link to comment
xanjra Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 As long as you do your best, it might not be perfect but it is still in the right direction. Congrats on the new home. I hate moving, anything more positive than sobbing in a heap would be a moving win for me!
