Arya Sapphire - and the Majora's Mask

[Arya Sapphire]

(if the pictures are too big, let me know and I'll put them under spoilers or make them smaller. )

 

Introduction: In a world where working crazy amount hours is becoming more and more difficult, where the energy levels of our hero are sinking and her eating habits still not up to par, what can we do? Put on the Majora's Mask and save the town from this crashing moon, because maybe in that quest, our hero will find new found habits that will put the old ones to shame. Here's to getting stronger, fitter and happier - why not - !

 

 

Main Quest or Fierce Deity Mask quest: All around be stronger. Maybe I could quantify it as finishing Ganon's Castle in the NF Legend of Zelda workout (hopefully without modifications, we'll see how that goes!). 

 

 

Goron mask quest: Do strength training 3 times a week + a pilates or body weight session. Total = 4 strength sessions.

Measurement: A = 24 sessions, B = 18-23 sessions, C = 12-18 sessions  F = Less than 12 sessions

Reward : A= +3 STR, +2 STA, B= +2 STR, +1 STA C= +1 STR

Reward if I get an A : There's a pair of Under Armour pants that I would LO-VE. If I get an A, I'll probably buy them.

 

 

Bunny hood quest: Run 3 times a week and be able to run a 5K without stopping by the end of the challenge.

Measurement: A = 18 runs B = 12-17 runs C= 8 to 11 runs F= Less than 8 runs 

Reward: A = +3 STA, +2 DEX B = +2 STA, +1 DEX C= +1 STA F= The moon haunts my nightmares until the end of time.

Reward if I do all the 18 runs and run a 5K without stopping : a new pair of shoes that I will be 110% in love with. (If I get all A's I'm going to be very expensive, haha)

 

 

Deku mask quest: Take gluten completely out of my diet, since Dekus don't eat any of that stuff, am I right? (I'm also starting to suspect that a lot of my daily symptoms come from gluten, we'll see) Since my previous challenge was to not have takeout anymore, I'll count takeout as 0.5 and if it's a takeout with gluten, it will be 1.5!

Measurement: A = 42 days without gluten, B = 38-41 days, C = 32-37 days F= If It's more than that.

Reward: A = +3 CON,  B = +2 CON, C = +1 CON, F= 0

 

 

Life Quest aka, Postman's hat mask quest: I have a lot of books to finish reading before I move out and I plan on giving them, so everyday I want to read at least 10 pages. I guess that quest is a bit of a stretch to relate to the Majora's Mask theme.

Measurement : A = 10 pages in a day (which means at least 420 pages total) F = Anything less than that. 

Reward: A = +2 WIS F = 0

 

 

Motivation:  I want to be stronger and as cool as Link, pretty much. Look at that badass. 

 

 

I'm super excited for this challenge and am really happy to be part of the Rangers now. Let's do this!

[Varelse]

7 workouts a week! That's brave.

10 pages a day is a good amount if you do it everyday. Which books do you want to read?

Looking forward. Good luck!

[Leothil]

Yeeees, I found you! Love the theme, it's quite perfect! Your quests look challenging, which is fitting for a challenge I guess. I like the life quest extra much and will tell myself that I have inspired you to read more.

Aww, thank you for finding my thread, haha! I'll definitely have to subb yours! 

 

I'm definitely going to run on my upper body days at the gym, so it will never be 7 days of workouts. Rest days are super important.  

 

10 pages seemed a really small amount at first but then I remembered that I struggled to even read 5 sometimes. @_@ My first book is Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. (eheh I know I know, I'm super corny)

You found me! *insert corny song and video of Snow White and Prince Charming in Once Upon a Time*

 

Thank you! I'm glad you like my theme and challenge. You definitely have sparked my love for books again and it's fitting since I have to finish them before I move. Thank you Leothil for your awesomeness!

[DarK_RaideR]

Couldn't miss this for the world. Pretty ambitious goals, I'll be here to cheer you on and share the madness

[Hiroro]

No slacking to be found here! Figured I'd poke around and see if other peoples' goals give me inspiration...yours are definitely solid, which encourages me to push myself too. Woot new Rangers!

 

Also, totally stealing your rewards ideas 

[awesomesue]

Fantastic sounding challenge!  Can not wait for you to kick butt!!!  Ooooo I dream of Under Armour for winter bike riding...bbbrrrrrrr.

[katastrophenkatzchen]

Awww found you!

Gluten can be a badass! Luckily there are enought delish things without it

 

I also love the reading goal.

And you picked my least favorite HP book out of the 7, so don't be disencouraged if you don't like the book. Continue the Potter books, they are awesome.  You can do it!

[Endor]

Aww how cool, this brought back so many N64 memories! 

 

Rewards work well for me too, power up and get that under armour

Thank you very much my dear friend! It will probably end up in madness... I'll have to gear up on potion.

Nop, there will be no slacking and no prisonners! 

 

Oh my, coming from you that's a huge compliment, thank you!  

 

Steal away, my friend! I think it will be very motivating.

 

Fantastic sounding challenge!  Can not wait for you to kick butt!!!  Ooooo I dream of Under Armour for winter bike riding...bbbrrrrrrr.

 

Thank you!! We'll both kick butt, that sounds even better.  

 

Right?! Under Armour is just all around awesome.

 

Awww found you!

I'm French, I was raised with gluten.   But I have found that I feel a million percent better when I don't have it, so... I'll have to find ways. :-P 

 

Haha, these are mostly a re-read. I have all the books in French back home but I also bought them in English... Who's a huge Potterhead? Not me! I like all the books and don't mind CoS. I thought it was scary when I was younger, haha, that's all. Which one if your favorite? :-D

 

Aww how cool, this brought back so many N64 memories! 

 

Rewards work well for me too, power up and get that under armour

 

Right? This game was my everything back then (I'm still hooked obviously eheh).

 

Yes, you're right! Time to power through and fight for the cool rewards and health, and definitely to fight for my Guild, yes. :-P

Totally unrealated but look at my new haircut guys. I feel really cool, haha.

 

 

 

This is my ''Your death might be painful'' face. (And yes I do go in the sunlight)

 

Thank you all for taking the time to read! 

[Endor]

I'm French

Oh where are you from? I lived in Lyons for a year when I was in my 20's, had a lot of fun. 

[BalianIronguard]

Plan endorsed awesome person!

[Cledbo]

Good Lord not only is your quest pretty epic and ambitious, your thread is already getting long, lol!

I gotta keep up with this madness ;-) go Arya!

I was raised with bread for breakfast and bread for dinner on weekdays. Now I rarly eat bread for dinner. In fact, I avoid it like plague xD

 

My favorite... ohh that's hard. It's even between HP and the Goblet of Fire and HP and the halfbloodprince (I had a crush on Snape since starting the series. Nahhh, let's be honest... I STILL have a crush on him)

 

 

I love your haircolour. Nice cut.

And you have wonderful porcelain skin!

My favourite has for some reason always been Prisoner of Azkaban. It might be because that was the first HP book I waited for. Doesn't mean I love the rest any less.

Tapatalk has no idea what I'm doing.

I should always mention that I'm French Canadian (boo not as fun) but sometimes people get pissed with me about that, for whatever reason. BUT I have visited Lyon and it's a gorgeous city, so is Strasbourg, Chamonix and Paris. I miss Europe so much sometimes.

Hahaha, I don't even know what to say about that!

 

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! :-D I'm digging it so much. I wasn't even traumatized by it when I woke up this morning, haha.

That's awesome! Honestly, I can avoid bread, but when I do eat it it's the worst trigger food in the world I can eat a whole baguette. @_@

 

Ohhhhh HBP was such a crazy book for me. I yelled a lot while reading it. So.good. I also totally love Snape.

 

Thank you so much! And my skin is actually not that great but I always post pictures where it looks good. Oops, busted.

I mean, the introduction of Severus Black was awesome and yeah. I really liked that book too! 

 

All the HP love. <3

[Cledbo]

This makes me want to read more HP which nothing has managed to make me do since my second year at university. I read the first two but now I'm inclined to read a few more...

[Varelse]

Ouch, I've never read any Harry Potter's books. I know I should because I like fantasy, but I've always feel too old to start reading this books. Do you think I could enjoy them if I didn't read them when I was supposed to do?

[Asa Pond]

Yay! 5k running goal (and reading goal too)!

 

So much love for this. Can't wait to watch you destroy this challenge!

 

Subbed.

[DarK_RaideR]

I don't know about fun and I haven't seen many, but I have yet to see a French Canadian female that is anything short of stunning.

Yes. The first ones might feel more like children's books, but the business gets really serious in the fourth book. Still, I enjoy them immensely, even the first ones, especially since they provide more insight into the everyday life of Hogwarts than the later books do.

Tapatalk has no idea what I'm doing.

[Megawolf]

Congrats on joining the Rangers, Arya! This looks like an epic challenge, and I know you'll do great! The LoZ theme is awesome, by the way.

[MidknytOwl]

Looks like you're feeling good after the last challenge and going on strong! 

 

Does the talk of moving mean you're going back home?  Things going well on the life front?

 

I'm with you on the rewards thing...I bought myself a Nerd Fitness shirt after completing this last challenge.  I didn't set aside one for this one because I might want something completely different in six weeks, but there will be rewards for me too.

 

 

My favorite... ohh that's hard. It's even between HP and the Goblet of Fire and HP and the halfbloodprince (I had a crush on Snape since starting the series. Nahhh, let's be honest... I STILL have a crush on him)

 

 

Really?  I'd say HBP is probably my least favorite.  

 

Good Lord not only is your quest pretty epic and ambitious, your thread is already getting long, lol!

Seriously.  Challenge hasn't even started yet and it's already two pages?!?  You're killing me Smalls.

 

Ouch, I've never read any Harry Potter's books. I know I should because I like fantasy, but I've always feel too old to start reading this books. Do you think I could enjoy them if I didn't read them when I was supposed to do?

 

I only read them for the first time 4 years ago, at 28.  I was hesitant to start but a co-worker bought me the first one and made me read it (we lived on site, so I really couldn't get away with not reading it after that either.)  I just didn't get the hype and it's hard to want to jump into a 7 book series, at least for me anyway.

 

However, glad I did it, enjoyed them all, even the first ones that were obviously written for a much younger audience.  She's a really good story teller and I had a hard time putting the books down.  (Actually I finished the entire series in about three weeks.  We had no electricity at the job, so reading was pretty much how what we did in the off time, and I started reading HP the last week of the job, so was job free the next few weeks, if you're thinking that's crazy.  I mean, I am a prolific reader when I get going, but that was pretty quick and more the situation than anything else.)

 

Do it.  Maybe Arya can send you them as she finishes!
