Tearose Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Hey Guys! The start of the challenge is still a few days off, however I have a Meal Prep Challenge for those who would like to participate! You know what they say ''If you fail to plan, you plan to fail!'' Its pretty simple, plan and prepare, much as you can, your meals for the next 3 to 4 days. Take a pic of your food prepped and post to the group! I did this last week and it took me about 2 hours, but it saved me soo much time! I will be prepping my food Sunday night and posting up pics. This will get us all off to a great start! 3 Quote Level 6 Ranger/Warrior Str:26 Dex:13 Stam:17 Con:12 Wis:12 Cha:3 Current Challenge: A Ranger Respawns Link to comment
Swampling Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Great idea! We'll be prepping a lot over the long weekend (though mostly for the FC, but anyway). On the menu for the next couple of days: A whole roast chicken, 1 kg beef for making soup (and eating the beef, of course), assorted veg (most of which will be oven roasted) and my "egg muffins" with turkey bacon for breakfast. 3 Quote Hobbit Challenges: 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1My shiny new "battle" log - probably more of a plodding-along log, but hey, it's mine!

FemHawke Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Hello, Brigade! Sub'd and ready to rock and/or roll! New challenge is up with the adventurers. I still don't have internet (maybe Monday?), but through the wonder that is technology and my new phone - I can tether my computer to my phone for data usage (I've got 'unlimited data within reason', so this will get me through until Monday). Less than 48hrs to go (less, for some of our members in different time zones). Get ready, team - it's time to kick some ass! Why? Well...

FemHawke Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 IT'S DAY 1/WEEK 1: RISE AND SHINE, PEOPLE! I seriously love that vid. (Thanks, Ash!). Ahem. Anyway! Welcome to Day 1 of Week 1 - the easiest and toughest day that there is: It's easy, because you've got the motivation to 'start', everything is fresh. It's hard, because you look forward and see how long there is to go. Sometimes the excuses start to creep in. You think "It's just the first day, I've got so much time to make up for it this week!". Nuts to that.Take it for what it is: an opportunity to kick some ass (yeah, sometimes it might be your own ass). That's what every day is, an opportunity - and if you muck it up, guess what? The next day will be an opportunity and you get to try again. Now, go forth and kick some ass, Brigade! 3 Quote A Level 3 Wood Elf Finding Her Way “A ship is safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are for.†- William G.T.

brader24 Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Hey Brigade. I thought I'd stop by and warn you all that I might have to start stalking these forums again. Nearly 4 months since my son Max was born and I haven't worked out at all. Time to change that. I have not signed up for the challenge yet, but will try to get that set up tonight when I can get to the sign up form. I'm looking to keep it simple this time and just do some data gathering to see where I am and get a good baseline again. Time to get serious. 3 Quote Level 2 Hawk AssassinStr: 2, Dex: 1, Sta: 2, Con: 2, Wis: 4, Cha: 1Challenges: Getting Going, 1, 2(Failed), 2.1(failed), 2.2(current)Accountability: The Dai-Gurren Brigade Current Challenge Goal Progress: Food Log(7/36), Exercise(5/24), Sleep Log(6/36), Meal Plan(1/21) Battle Log Fitocracy MyFitnessPal RunKeeper “Believe the incredible and you can do the impossible†- Archbishop Fulton J.

Tech_Hunter Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Hello there, I just popped my name on your doc list to join. This is exactly the kind of group I need, people who are ready to tear into their challenge! This is actually my 4th challenge. I have had a few very successful ones, but over the winter I tried to bulk and switch up a weight routine that was working for me and really bunged it up! If you read my first couple challenge threads, you will see that when I commit, I REALLY get into it! So if you will have me around, I am a major tank when I have an active group. I actually started my missions last week, so Day 1 for me is just plugging away! I will be putting a link to my thread in my sig line, if anyone wants to follow my progress. 4 Quote Level 3 Pandaren Adventurer[*]16 WIS/12.5 CON/2 STR/3.5 DEX/4 STA/7 CHA [*]My Levelling Log/Challenge Thread!
