There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it.

If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.†If there is one thing I've been good at in life it's starting over.This last challenge I started off with a bang, then several things went bust and all did not end as well as I'd hoped. I ended up undoing several good things I had going, gained weight, stopped getting up to work out, and giving in to sugar cravings. So this challenge is going to be about starting over. Work smarter, not harder...I will have 4 weeks left of school when this challenge starts, this is the last challenge I will need to make that part of my challenge!! 30 min a day, before doing anything else online +2 WIS Got to move it, move it...I got out of the habit of getting up and working out due to injuries and other things going on in my life, if I need to modify this I did but I plan on doing this series of workouts at least 5 days a week...I did one, and now I cannot move! Not sure what I was thinking but I need to 'work up' to that workout...going to go back to elliptical 3 days a week, and bodyweight or yoga workouts 2 days (I was good on elliptical before, bodyweight needs work) EllipticalA – All 18 workouts (+1 DEX, +2STA)B – Skipped 1-3 workouts (.75 DEX, +1.5 STA)C – Skipped 3-6 workouts (+.5 DEX, +1 STA)D – Skipped 7-9 workouts (+.25 DEX, +.5 STA)F – Skipped more than 10 workouts. Bodyweight or YogaA – All 12 workouts (+2 STR, +1 DEX)B – Skipped 1-3 workouts (+1.5 STR, +.75 DEX)C – Skipped 4-5 workouts (+1 STR, +.5 DEX)D – Skipped 6-7 workouts (+.5 STR, +.25 DEX)F – Skipped more than 8 workouts. Come on inner peace, I don't have all day...there are a lot of things going on right now that I'm struggling with, I've been interested in doing meditation for a while now so I signed up with Meditation Experience (yes, the Oprah and Deepak thing) to encourage me to do it...pass or fail, +2 CHA if I do it, nothing if I don't... Sugar, paleo, etc...just do it, I know I feel better when I do and like crap when I don't...just take it, and everything else...one day at a time... Longish term goal...I want to RUN in a 5k, specifically the Race for the Cure on April 11th, for time...this gives me something to work towards...doing the elliptical will help build my endurance, and we're going to buy a treadmill soon to use until the weather gets warmer. 3 Quote RES...and I want to live days worth dying for Current: RES: Still in the Struggle Spoiler Really Eclectic Scorpio, Level 79 |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|59|60|61|62|63|64|65|66|67|68|69|70|71|72|73|74|75|76|77|78|79|80|81|82|83|84| | My Character Page | Tracking Spreadsheet | My Blog | Growth happens when you care more about the well being of your future self than the comfort of your present self!

It may be just the nerds I follow but it seems to be a reoccurring theme lately...I'm noticing several things that are widespread during certain time periods. Indeed last challenge most people struggled after the first half, while some failed or even disappeared. This time, simplifying and reducing computer time is the trend. I think it might have been related to an abundance of PvPs and Accountability groups popping up, lots of great ideas flying around, people getting excited and then realizing they've bitten a lot more than they could actually chew 1 Quote Lvl 54 Multitasker Link to comment

RES Posted November 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Okay, I lost what little mind I had when I decided to do those workouts...so I have modified my challenge and going to build up to doing that...Work is a tad bit overwhelming right now, still not sure what all my new duties are going to be, and then I decide to redo the menu, had to get the truck order in today, and working on holiday stuff...if not for the fact I needed to come home and let the dog out I could easily stay there all night and have plenty to keep me occupied.Brave thing for this weeks mini, actually changing the menu DRASTICALLY...we're going to be making a lot of things from scratch, I may lose half my staff because of it (I can hope LOL) but I got tired of listening to everyone talk about how it was always the same thing, and we get menus pre-planned with everything we need, down to the recipe manual from our food distributor, silly not to take advantage of it! It will take some work and 'tweeking' but I believe will be worth it in the long run, as well as better for our patients and staff. 2 Quote RES...and I want to live days worth dying for Current: RES: Still in the Struggle Spoiler Really Eclectic Scorpio, Level 79 |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|59|60|61|62|63|64|65|66|67|68|69|70|71|72|73|74|75|76|77|78|79|80|81|82|83|84| | My Character Page | Tracking Spreadsheet | My Blog | Growth happens when you care more about the well being of your future self than the comfort of your present self!
