Arya Sapphire Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Woo hoo, Arya!! I really like your goal to eat less take-out. I can so identify with that! I may be using that for the next challenge :-) In the meantime, good luck with your goals! Thank you so much! Same to you: I'm sure you're already rocking your challenge. :-) I love your idea for a theme! Good luck on your quest! Thank you very much! (See's Game of Thrones inspired name)Hey! Great goals! There does seem to be like a lot of enthusiasm for this challenge! (It's my first too!)Excited to see someone with goals similar to mine, what strength routine are you doing?? (What can I say: I love my Starks! And my Targaryen too) I love everybody's enthusiasm, it makes me really giggly because I'm super glad I found NF. I might have finally found some fitness friends that are geeky like me. :-) For my strength routine right now, I mostly focus on one part of the body per day and do 4 sets of 10 reps of different moves. I focus on heavier weights than when I first started fitness (I used to not lift past 5lbs in the fears of gaining muscle, haha, aww). Anyway, thank you for the support! Black Widow. Yes yes yes! I look forward to seeing your challenge progress. We seem to have quite similar goals and motivation :-) I love Natasha so much. I could talk about her all day and still giggle in glee thinking about how awesome CATWS was. I'm really bad, haha. I'm glad to hear that we are sharing similar goals. I'll definitely send some support your way on your thread! :-) Thank you for coming by!

Arya Sapphire Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Day 1 of the challenge: I went to the gym this morning and did an hour long session of strength training. The focus was on the upper body today and mostly my back; which will be sore tomorrow, oh gosh I love this feeling! I did 4 sets of 10 reps of everything and today on the single arm dumbell row, I went from 20lbs to 25lbs! I know It's a small difference but I was super proud of myself! Still am actually. I also did biceps curls with 10lbs, tricep extensions with 15lbs, some rowing (? I think that's what It's called) and other things that I am forgetting right now because my brain is the one of a gold fish. (I'll try to write things down next time ) The whole day I ate pretty well. Everything was from the house, so 0 takeouts. (woot woot!) All in all, it was a super busy day off (as always). Week 1 goals: Strength training: 1 in 3Running: 0 in 3Takeouts: 0Life quest: I did my laundry but no cleaning yet. How are you guys doing so far? :-D 4 Level 2 Gnome -who wants to be a Mermaid- RangerSTR 5 | DEX | STA 4 | CON 3 | WIS 1 | CHA 1Challenges: 1 | Current Challenge: Arya Sapphire and the Majora's Mask''Be brave enough to live life creatively.

I'm going to reread book 5 this month, in the slim hopes that book 6 won't be too far away. I read it two years ago (or was it longer? whenever it first came out, probably closer to 3-4 years) but I can't seem to remember a dang thing that happened in it. Haha now go clean your room!
