Jittersthe.Clown Posted October 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Jitters, I have been away from the forums for about a week - so I am now here to say that I am so sorry for your loss!Thank you for that, Eve. We had most of this year to spend with him when we were told we wouldn't, so I call it a win. More big squeezey hugs your way sir Sent from Tapatalk, all errors are the app's fault! ;-)You can send those my way any time. I'm like a hug whore. Feeling good and bad today. Bad because I have to decide today if I'm taking a second job and thus all my free time because honestly, I'm broke. I've set aside some money for specific things a while back, and those things will be moving forward (concert for my wife's bday, brunch with the MN NF crew, etc), but I'm looking at the bottom of the barrel. I've applied with numerous companies throughout the country and haven't really heard from any of them. In spite of this, I'm doing good because the sun is shining, everything seems to be burning down around me, but I've got my wife and kids, my NF family and a smile on my face. Life can't touch me. 1 Level 2 Warforged Druid STR: 2, DEX: 1, STA: 3, CON: 3, WIS: 2, CHA: 3 "If these people tell this story to their children as they sleep; then maybe someday they'll see a hero is just a man who knows he is free."

Jittersthe.Clown Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Keep the Mojo mojoing:2/421/22Workouts abound. Last night was some shoulder exercises and squats and a 5 miler this morning. It's getting chilly. Not too cold yet, but it's on it's way. All that heavy isn't going to lift itself:0/3 2/18 Peace can only come from within: 2/5 28/30Got some time in yesterday and this morning. Both times were on the same topic which will be outlined below Everybody needs somebody:5/6Called in a favor to an old friend to help my situation. This will be my last challenge of 2014. I am needing a second job again and with everything, I will not have the time, or quite frankly the energy to keep going with one. I will still be running and working my shoulder out. I will not be disappearing from NF, but I'll be updating my battle log from here till 2015. Plus side, I have also decided to step back in a lot of my duties in 2015. I am an officer with my clown group that I will be handing over to another and will be stepping back from a couple other committees I'm on. I'm staying on the school board because that is too important to me and to my son. My thought process on this is that I can start the new year with a renewed vigor and less stress that will hopefully translate into better achievement of my goals. So that's my insights for the morning. I hope everyone is having a great 6th week. Finish strong everyone!

Jittersthe.Clown Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Thanks, Raxie. I am in need of this in a big and personal way.

Jittersthe.Clown Posted October 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 My week 6 in review:Keep the Mojo mojoing:4/423/22Got in a 3 mile run on Friday because I didn't have work. All that heavy isn't going to lift itself:0/3 2/18 Peace can only come from within: 5/5 31/30Meditation as the sun came up Friday. It was nice. Everybody needs somebody:5/6 How was the challenge over all? Let's take a look at the numbers: Keep the Mojo mojoing:23/22A+ - It seems like I kept this very vague and because of that, I started off with what I think was an easy requirement. I've been running a lot to get ready for my first 10k on Thanksgiving (US). I've not been increasing my miles in the past couple weeks and it's time I do. I don't feel like I am really prepared for it. But, it's still 4 and a half weeks out. All that heavy isn't going to lift itself:2/18F- - We're not talking about that... Well, yes, we will. I'm two weeks away from being cleared to lift again. Or at least two weeks until I am evaluated for lifting. I'm hopeful. I've made some really good progress with my shoulder and the doc said she's happy with where I'm going with it. I'm going to be talking with The Most Loathed as soon as I am cleared to get some solid Kettlebell training. It seems like they'd take up a lot less space compared to getting a bench and could do them in the living room. There is always the garage, but I need a refill for my heater. It's going to start getting cold in the not too distant future here in Minnesota. Peace can only come from within: 31/30A+ - Wow. I mean, two out of three was kind of a surprise. I am grateful for all I have, but I have discovered through this that a change is going to come. I'm working warehouse again this year, but will likely be transferring into a store in the near future. According to the general manager I am "too valuable to waste throwing boxes and not having in a store selling". The confidence in my ability to sell juggling equipment and games is a little misplaced; the stuff almost sells itself. Everybody needs somebody:5/6B - I missed one week, but overall, I'm not sure this is really my style. I like to help others and even though I can't do it on my own, I am grateful knowing there are people I can turn to when I need it. Overall, I learned that when the doctor says stop lifting things, you stop lifting things. I attempted a lift the night she told me not to, and it hurt. It wasn't sore, it hurt. Lesson learned the hard way. I learned that while I am fine continuing my running, I have to step it up. I'm doing a 10k, ready or not. I'd prefer to be ready. I learned was reminded that there are great people in my life. My family and my friends, both on the web and in real life (and those met online who I now meet semi-regularly), are the best people I can hope to know. Without all of you, I wouldn't be as healthy or as happy as I am today. I am constantly reminded of this fact when I log onto Nerd Fitness' boards and I am reminded when I walk into my house every day after work and my kids run to give me hugs. To be able to go out with a friend or 4 and enjoy a meal and a drink with them are the moments I treasure. I thank you. 1 Level 2 Warforged Druid STR: 2, DEX: 1, STA: 3, CON: 3, WIS: 2, CHA: 3 "If these people tell this story to their children as they sleep; then maybe someday they'll see a hero is just a man who knows he is free."

Sloth the Enduring Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Sorry, I haven't been following your thread, but your write up sounds good. 4.5 weeks is a long time to get ready for a 5k, you'll do great. I think you'll really like KBs too, I did mine in the living room before I cleared out the basement. I'll try to follow along better next time, I enjoy your attitude toward life. “We might as well start where we are, use what we have and do what we can." – Caitlin Rivers Sloth: The Man with the Hammer battle log Link to comment

I've learned you can't follow everyone. There are just too many awesome people here. It's a long time to train for a 5k, but I'm running the 10k... I haven't done that kind of distance in a long while, but I think I'll make it. That's encouraging to hear about the KBs. I am exciting. As for next time, it's going to be battle log for the remainder of the year. Hugs jitters!!! <3Sent from Tapatalk, all errors are the app's fault! ;-)Awww, thank you.

Raxie Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Wow, despite everything you still managed to do amazingly this challenge! The lifting "fail" totally doesn't count, and I'm glad you're on track for being allowed to start again in a few short weeks. I hope your hiatus from the challenges gives you some breathing room and you get everything you need sorted.
