kweber05 Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 So this is my fourth challenge: #1 was awesome, #2 I fell on my face, #3 I had a death in the family and gave up with four weeks left. This time I'm slimming it down a little so I can complete this challenge. Main Quest Ø As with my first two challenges I would like to lose 10 pounds in the next six weeks and 50 over the next year (down to 35.4 to loose). Challenge starting weight is 190.2 lbs. Original starting weight 204.8 lbs. (down 14.6 lbs), last challenge start weight 195.2 (down 5 lbs) Specific Goals Ø Continue to eat healthy. This has been working for me since I fell off the wagon. Since the garden will be coming in soon there are lots of fresh veggies in my future. Ø Exercise!!! Chuck has found a new program that he wants to do, it is only 25 mins a day. I'm hoping with the hubby's push I will be more inclined to workout. Also, cover is off the pool so I would like to get in there and do more than floating and drinking. Shooting for at least three times a week, even though hubby wants to do five. Life Side Quest Ø Complete my photo blog for the next six weeks without missing a day. I was able to keep up with this even though I let everything else lapse. Ø Also adding creative art with seashells. I have two glass containers that need to get completed and two bags of shells. By the end of this six weeks I would like to have both done do I have spring center pieces for my table. So this did not happen last challenge, but I really want to get these two things done before the end of the summer so they are staying. Motivation Ø To complete one thing that is about me and that is important to me. Tried of being upset every time I look into the mirror. Summer times makes it worse with all the cutie dresses and swim suits. I guess I'm just tried of being tired! 2 Level 2: Malcontent STR: 3 || DEX: 3 || STA: 6 || CON: 3 || WIS: 3 || CHA: 2 Current Challenge Challenge 5 Challenge 4 Challenge 3 Challenge 2 Challenge 1 Link to post

Teros Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Looks good. I love the 'how many bothers' gif Is there a way to grade your goals? Like an 'A/B/C/D' for the week or something? Will there be pics uploaded for the seashell art stuff? It sounds like it would look pretty cool. If you have any questions, feel free to post in the Tavern, or send me a PM.

kweber05 Posted June 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Week One Days One and Two I have been stressing about posting what I'm eating because I know some people will not agree with my approach. But here it goes...I have been doing a modified fast. I have three protein shakes during the day and then a healthy dinner. Day one I had cabbage stakes and polish kielbasa. On day two I had grilled bone-in pork chops and steamed brussle sprouts. I drank 50+ ounces of water and had tea with organic half/half and truvia both days. No work outs yet, still trying to get settled after spending the weekend in GA. I did get the shells in the containers (pictures to follow). So thew creative part of my challenge is done and all I have to do is focus on workouts. A friend of mine posted on Facebook that they want to do the color run when it comes to Raleigh, so I told her I would join her team so I have an event/goal.

I think that is what I'm going to keep for this challenge and think of something new for next challenge. Thanks for the encouragement!

darkfoxx Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Not wanting to post what you're eating for fear of people not supporting your choices is not a thing worth stressing yourself out over, and certainly not something that is worth jeopardizing your participation. Because if you're afraid to post, you won't, and you're going to crap out. Let's not crap out. Of course I'm not going to agree with the modified fasting approach to weight loss - a: your specific body has proven time and time again that that approach does not work for you; b: modified fasting teaches you absolutely nothing about sustainable healthy eating; c: modified fasting does absolutely nothing to fix your jacked up metabolism; and d: this is diametrically opposed to the approach I take, as well as common sense as I see it. Having said that, I love you and I'm going to support you no matter what and I'm going to continue to push you to figure out what "healthy" actually means. If this path is the framework you're setting up that will allow you to complete your vague 'eat healthy' goal, then commit yourself to it. Imma' question your choices when they stray from that framework and actual healthfulness; but your goals are your own and I'll be lending support to help you attain this goal. And it's Wednesday - you're settled. Get to working out; the week is half gone. 2 Level 71 Wood Elf Druid Druid: || 59 | 60 | 61 | 61.5 | 62 | 63 | 64 | 65 | 66 | 67 | 68 | 69 | 70 | 71 | || Ranger: || 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 | 25 | 26 | 27 | 28 | 29 | 30 | 31 | 32 | 33 | 34 | 35 | 36 | 37 | 38 | 39 | 40 | 41 | 42 | 43 | 44 | 45 | 46 | 47 | 48 | 49 | 50 | 51 | 52 | 53 | 54 | 55 | 56 | 57 | 58 || ||Char/RPG|| STR: 57 || DEX: 59 || STA: 52 || CON: 47 || WIS: 59 || CHA: 59 Link to post

kweber05 Posted June 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Week One Day Six and SevenSo my weekend pretty much fell apart eating wise. On Saturday I made it all day and then went to Applebees and had a beer with dinner. On Sunday we hosted Father's Day dinner. Smoke ham with pineapple and cherries, mashed patatos, bread, corn on the cob and cake. I actually swam in the pool on Sat, enough to were my arms hurt when I was done and I was winded. Sunday I got into the pool but mostly floated with a five-year-old and did not do much actually swimming. Photo blog is current! I drank water, but I could not tell you how much and only took about half of my vitamins. Ugh I got to whip the weekends into shape!
