Ba'sini'on Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Hey guys! Ready to do my....wow, ninth challenge.Goal #1: Commit to a strict Paleo diet. I've done this before with success, but now that I'm training even harder, I'm curious about the results I'll get when I stick to it all. The only splurge will be on my birthday.A: 100%B: 95%F: Anything lowerGoal #2: Train 5x a week. I get bored easily, which means I get lazy and don't want to train the next day. So I need to keep up the habit. 5x may seem extreme but I'll have 2 days off to rest, and I'll allow more if I need it.A: 5/5B: 4/5F: 3/5Goal #3: Finish pre Algebra and Arithmatics on Khan Academy. Some of you already know I hate math, and suck at it. But I don't want to be a Combat Engineer who can't do the math right then and there.A: Finish Pre-Algebra and ArithmeticB: Just a few Master Classes awayF: No changeGoal #4: Find a job. No luck so far, but I need to keep trying. I'm hoping to get a job at a vet's office, PetsMart, Gamestop, or a feed store. But I'm trying anyone that's hiring right now.A: Get an interviewB: Send out a lot of applicationsF: NothingLife Goal: Get down to a size 12. My size 14 are loose now! I'm hoping to get down to a 12, or maybe a 10 but that most likely is wishful thinking. Side Goals: Draw moreLose my butt gut Keep practicing patienceYogaWrite in journal everydayLet my walls down once in a while with the guy Before/After Didn't think there was a difference till I saw the pics, now I'm happy Wanted to pimp this up but for some reason it's not letting me paste photos or even change font size. I thought it was my computer, but I'm using my grandmother's. I'm gonna ask someone what's up. 2 Level 14 Unknown First Challenge, Second Challenge, Third Challenge, Fourth Challenge, Fifth Challenge, Sixth Challenge, Seventh Challenge, Eighth Challenge, Ninth Challenge, Tenth Challenge, Eleventh Challenge, Twelfth Challenge, Thirteenth Challenge, Fourteenth Challenge Str. 18, Dex. 14, Sta. 13, Con. 19, Wis. 22, Cha. 30 Link to comment

otter905 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 You rock LostOne! Looking forward to seeing you crush this. I think 5 workouts a is totally doable/acceptable - I often do it. Plus once you're in the marines it's not like they're gonna be like oh! wait we already made them run/workout 5 times this week, we can't make them do it again.

ShadowLion Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Your challenge plans look great! I'm hoping you to get a job at a vet's. I did that when I was about your age and I really liked it. You'd feel more in touch with your roots now that you're stuck in the 'burbs and it's interesting to be around, even if you're just "kennel help" like I was. A feed store would be fun, though, and build some muscle, too! Good luck! 1 All men dream, but not equally.

Ba'sini'on Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Lycan Thom-Thanks for the luck I'll need it. LOL we got this dude! We'll hit it out of the park.Quickdraw-Right back at ya dude otter905-That's what I was thinking when I chose 5x a week. Plus I don't like being in the house with my grandmother, she isn't helping as much as I thought with motivation.ShadowLion-I actually miss home, me and the suburbs we don't get along. For one....I like to do crazy things, lately I've been sneaking out to chase coyotes late at night. Why? Because it's fun I'm kind of anti social, I prefer dealing with animals rather people, unless it has to do with games then I'm good!I was surprised when I compared my pics, I didn't think I actually made a difference. But I know I'd be thinner if my stomach didn't hang like that because of the loose skin. I hope it goes away, I want flat abs!

Peekay Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Cool pictures! I'm rather sad that I completely forgot about it. I was even awake at that point, just not outside. Although now that I think back, I'm pretty sure it was snowing so I wouldn't have been able to see it anyway. Pardon my ignorance, but what's a "combat engineer?" Personally, I think everyone that is bad at math should learn more. Of course, I'm an electrical engineer, so math is kind of my thing. Good luck with the Paleo. I'd like to do a Whole30 at some point this summer, but it's hard to find a whole month when I'm not going on at least one trip where eating W30 compliant wouldn't be a gigantic pain in the neck. Congrats on the success so far! Keep up the good work! 1 Peekay - Level 1 - Hobbit AdventurerSTR 1 || DEX 1 || STA 2 || CON 1 || WIS 3 || CHA 2 Challenge #1 Link to comment
Fonzico Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Good luck with your challenge! I'm trying to stick to a paleo diet too, although I've given myself a little wiggle room.

Ba'sini'on Posted April 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 ShadowLion-Thanks, I still need to work on it.Peekay-That sucks dude it was pretty cool I honestly don't get that, Paleo is basically meat and veggies. Just order a chicken salad or something, it's been pretty easy for me. And this is my second time, but I'm stricter this round, no cheat meals.Fonzico-I wanted some wiggle room, but I wanted to build up my willpower and just go clean completely.Setto Frostwind-Yep! But it's only day 3 of week 1, come and see me week 3 Elder-*hug* Quickdraw-MUAHAHA Destroy! Build! Destrooooy!Eilyd-Aaaaw thanks E! Workout: 3 mile run, with 2x3 pullups and playing on the playgroundThat's all for the workout, my sis texted me that she wanted to walk so I ran back home. Even though I was planning on running farther. I want her to keep walking without me she won't go far are push hard. But when I got back and waited an hour for her to get ready, she ended up saying she didn't feel like going! I tried to get her to go but she's really stubborn. So I spent the day doing math, studying science, sending applications (I'm tired of those), and helping Nerds. I am so mentally exhausted it's not even funny.Tomorrow I'll get up earlier and run again to the park. They had chain monkey bars! So it sank and moved as you try to grab the bar, add it's up and down design and it's brutal. I wanna beat it!Also found something really cool, the Zombie Race is coming to Temecula November. I so want another medal! So I'll be working towards it. Now to decide whether I want to do Black Ops, or Extreme. Hey Quickdraw, wanna give it a go? Only $35 right now, and even at it's peak it's $50.
