miss america Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Been on holiday so catching up. Sounds like things are going well? Daily updates are SO much easier and for some reason it really helps to keep me on track. Yes! My main issue is that when I skip an entry, the next day I'll think about doing it, but then think, "Oh no, I'll have to catch up on TWO days now... that'll take way too long!" And then that snowballs into a week of feeling guilty about not posting, as the number of entries I have to do grows larger and larger and larger and larger... Phew. So it's a lot easier in the long run to just spend the 5 minutes it takes to actually get it done that same day Just FYI.... I am going to see Furious 7 tonight and I am STOKED YESSSS!! I laughed, I gasped, I cried. Embrace the ridiculousness and having an amazing time Consistency helps. Who'd have thought? Right?? Such a puzzling connection. MISSION REPORT - 4/16 (Day 4)Challenge 1: Tracked all food and stayed on calorie goalChallenge 2: Did a Daily Burn at home! "Do the medicine ball one," I thought. "It'll be easy," I thought. "You probably won't have to do any squats," I thought.Challenge 3: Updated, commented on some of my followed threads, and welcomed some new monk-ish recruits!

You can count it as an active rest day personally.

miss america Posted April 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Just means you mean to eat like the Rock. Nothing wrong with that. I did buy a bunch of cod after reading this post Now I just have to figure out what to do with it! You can count it as an active rest day personally. I know I counted walking as part of my workout when I was in Japan, especially since I was walking like at least 6 hours a day. Yeah, that's what I figured! I didn't want to count it as a "real" activity day for my tracking purposes, but definitely a good "off" day! The brother gets like, 25k steps a day on Fitbit though so I refused to friend him on it, hahaha. MISSION REPORT 4/19 (Day 7)Challenge 1: Tracked, stayed under! Someone please kick me next time I'm thinking about not tracking 'cause I think I've gone over my calorie/macro goals... and remind me of this day!Challenge 2: Boxing!!Challenge 3: Er, catching up now just under the wire MISSION REPORT 4/20 (Day 8)Challenge 1: Tracked, went a bit over caloriewiseChallenge 2: No countable activityChallenge 3: Getting ahead! Will do my comments tomorrow since the post is already up Did a bunch of meal prep tonight too... spinach/tomato/eggs for breakfasts, sausage/veggies for lunches (thanks Solstice Tiger)! Making the food tracking verrrry easy on myself 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

miss america Posted April 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 MISSION REPORT - 4/21 (Day 9)Challenge 1: Tracked, went just barely over even though it was friend&wine night ('cause I anticipated and accounted for it throughout the rest of the day!)Challenge 2: No countable activityChallenge 3: Posting! Also, I sent in my phone to get fixed and thought I'd backed up everything... but then realized I'd been taking all my progress photos through an app (so they wouldn't appear in my main photo gallery) and I forgot to save them!!!!!!!!!!! So uhhh... I guess we'll just say that my current state is my new "before" I also started using the TwoGrand app, which is like food tracker + Instagram. Not really planning to use it as a food tracker per se, but more as inspiration. I am always very visually focused for food stuff (like, I very rarely will make a new recipe unless they have a photo of the finished product) so I figure it's good for me to focus on my own presentation as well as getting ideas for new stuff to make from others. Anyway, "tracking" there is definitely a lower priority than my regular macro/calorie tracking, but something I'm playing with to keep things fun My username is "missamerica" (gotta keep it #onbrand) if anyone else is using it! 1 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
Kishi Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Hey, nothing like a New Game+ to make things more fun, right? Also, food presentation is fun. I enjoy it myself, though I don't know if that's a matter of my IRL friends being wicked good cooks or what. 1 Quote Work like a farmer, train like an athlete, fight like a soldier. 2 Tim. 2:3-6 BATTLE!

MISSION REPORT 4/23 (Day 11)Challenge 1: Tracked food, stayed within calorie goals, getting close on that protein macro!!Challenge 2: "kickboxing interval training" Challenge 3: Updating, will catch up more tomorrow! Launched the new website at work which means my days will be much less hectic moving forward! For a few days at least... I hope... Two Grand has been fun so far—it actually helps me to remember to log everything (and probably estimate better) if I haven't done it right away, since I have photos of all my meals!

BlackTezca Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Man I can't wait till things are less hectic at work for me too. However, after tomorrow things will be slightly easier and I'll have a few more things done. Oooo Kickboxing interval training huh? Fun times! I'm interested in hearing a bit more about this, since I'm thinking Kickboxing (since I know the fundamentals) and then Muy Thai maybe the most fun for me. 1 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

Definitely more cardio-focused (as opposed to boxing form-focused) but a really fun workout.

I know it. Even if it's just one sentence saying, "I'm not dead, and I did stuff." Hey now, I'm not even late today!! I just posted my 4/27 recap at the end of that night instead of the next day (i.e. yesterday), which is my normal posting schedule I admit I do sometimes forget on the weekend, but not out of any ill will, just a lack of established routine. I do try to leave the tab open at home so I at least see it there, but that doesn't always work. Hmm, maybe I will set an alarm this weekend to be sure... Anyway, blessings on you for making it work with that extrovert job, though! Man. You're doing like... twice the work! Much respect from a fellow introvert MISSION REPORT 4/28 (Day 16)Challenge 1: Tracked foodChallenge 2: No activityChallenge 3: Updating here, will reply!
