miss america Posted January 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 EEK I had a good test of emotional/stress eating yesterday—someone broke into my car! Well, I say "broke"—but I must have left the door/trunk/window or something unlocked since they got in without having to break a window. I suppose that's the better option of the two, though it is the one that makes me feel sillier. Anyway, all they got were a dying, 9-year-old iPod and my grocery store discount card (like the kind you get for free???) soooooo all in all it could've been much worse. Stressful BUT I still did good for my day, goal-wise MISSION REPORT - 1/12 (DAY 8) Mission 1: Tracked all food, stayed within goals Mission 2: no BWW required Mission 3: BONUS, PUNCH YOUR PROBLEMS AWAY BOXING VIDEO COMPLETED. The video already feels a lot easier just in these few days, and I think I'll actually have to start adding to it—it's supposed to be a "20 minute workout," but for my first couple attempts, they were moving so fast that I would have to pause so I could get the correct number of reps in. I've been aiming for at least 30 minutes per session, which worked fine with the pauses at first, but now I think I'll have to start adding some other stuff to keep that time up since I'm getting faster... Life Mission: face wash! 4 Quote level 4 medusa monkSTR 6 | STA 5 | DEX 5 | CON 6 | WIS 6 | CHA 4challenges: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 (current)myfitnesspal | fitbit | habitrpgsic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc Link to comment
BlackTezca Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Ouch! Thank good the break in wasn't as bad as it could've been but damn that sucks! Glad that you got through your workouts and stayed within your goals! Awesome work on week 2! When I was first getting used to workout videos, there was a kickboxing one where the guy was going so fast, doing 10 reps so I definitely understand needing to pause to catch up Quote Race: Were-Jaguar | Class: CodeMONKey Level: 18 | STR: 46 | DEX: 41 | STA: 35 | CON: 51 | WIS: 57 | CHA: 47 Spoiler --- Challenges: CURRENT 18TH | 17TH | 16TH | 15TH | 14TH | 13TH | 12.5TH | 12TH | 11TH | 10TH | 9TH | 8TH | 7TH | 6TH | 5TH | 4TH | 3RD | 2ND | 1ST Accountbilbuddies: Artists unite for March/April 2017! --- "Everyone's the same height when you punch them hard enough" --- NF Character Profile | BATTLE LOG | Tumblr | DeviantArt | Warhammer 40k Shenanigans Link to comment

deftona Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 So sorry to hear about your car, it's good they didn't take much but it's more the feeling of intrusion isn't it?

Kishi Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Wow, what an amazing test! I don't know that I would have handled it so well if my car had been broken into. Be careful that you don't add too much to the work you're doing. Fat-loss, these days, is generally considered to be a game of brief, intense exercise combined with hormonal regulation - sleeping well, eating well, living well. If you're adding more on to the workout because you enjoy it and want the challenge, that's awesome, and I'd never mean to discourage you from it. But if you're doing so with the thought that you're going to enhance your fat-loss, you may want to pause and reconsider. We got your back either way. Keep moving!

Thank you for keeping it all in perspective! At this point, I've kind of gotten to the point of treating any fat/weight loss as a nice secondary result of the diet/fitness improvements... my main motivation in increasing the workout times is mostly just to build my stamina for my real monk classes when I start them! Or at least to have the confidence that I will probably not collapse on the floor after 10 minutes... but rather after a very respectable 30 minutes. Maybe I'll put a little more focus on actually being able to complete the full video all the way through first (with no pauses) before adding anything else in though. MISSION REPORT - 1/13 (Day 9) Mission 1: Tracked everything, went a bit over again due to Agent Carter-related cocktail shenanigans but nothing too crazy. Mission 2: BWW completed Mission 3: no video today ;__; but still on track for 2-3 times this week 2 Quote level 4 medusa monkSTR 6 | STA 5 | DEX 5 | CON 6 | WIS 6 | CHA 4challenges: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 (current)myfitnesspal | fitbit | habitrpgsic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc Link to comment

I hadn't really verbalized to myself why I thought it was so important to keep my minutes up, so it's a little more motivating now that I have a real reason. Two things.

And I find it's the one most people have the hardest time getting over. So congrats!Ever Everything is looking awesome! Yes! I figured out that as long as I stick to my missions, the weight kind of takes care of itself... so I don't have to worry about it myself, really I get to focus on the fun stuff!

miss america Posted January 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 MISSION REPORT - 1/14 (Day 10) Mission 1: All food tracked, BUT this was my lesson to actually keep track throughout the day! I was being lazy and waited to log everything until the evening, and thought I had enough left over for a bonus snack. So I ate one... and THEN later remembered I'd forgotten to put something down from earlier in the day, which then put me over the goal. Oh well! Mission 2: no BWW required Mission 3: boxing video workout completed Life Mission: face wash! MISSION REPORT - 1/15 (Day 11) Mission 1: Food tracked! Went over again, but I will say that I have been pretty good about not going to town once I realize I'm over my limit—all my "overs" from this week have been within maybe 200 calories of my calorie goal and more or less sticking to my (very easy) macro goals. Mission 2: Scheduled for a BWW today, but I woke up sick and sapped of energy. So I took the extra 25 min of sleep instead Still on track for 3 for the week. Mission 3: no video Life Mission: worked on my needlepoint! Feeling better today, so everything should be back on track from here on. 3 Quote level 4 medusa monkSTR 6 | STA 5 | DEX 5 | CON 6 | WIS 6 | CHA 4challenges: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 (current)myfitnesspal | fitbit | habitrpgsic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc Link to comment

Sorry on your car! *comforts* That would have been an emotional test for me for certain! Glad no lasting damage was done and you are ok. 2. Agent Carter related drink shenanigans = awesome. I need some friends that want to participate in that *grin* 3. Your hard work, ability to listen to your body and known when to back off (and Rock awesomesauce) are really inspirational.
