Chaos22 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 I wanted to get this topic started. Once we get everyone in the thread, can you please post your thoughts on the following. A. What's the focus of your group? 1 goal, 3 goals, motivation, tracking, etc...B. How much info do you want to share? There doesn't have to be a rule here, but if you're feeling iffy about the content (TMI stuff) but want to talk about it, then use the Spoiler box so that folks know that going into that box means you have agreed to the risk. Some folks handle other people's stories just fine, some get triggered. SPECIALLY useful for the group working on awkwardness!C. How often do folks think they should post? Don't overdo it, this isn't your main challenge, but you'll want enough that the conversation stays fresh and everyone gets a chance to chat about their stuff and give responses as they can/want. 3 Quote Level 2 Bralani Eladrin STR 2.5 | DEX 0 | STA 5.5 | CON 2.5 | WIS 4 | CHA 1 Challenge: 1, 2 Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the high road to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction. ~Margaret Thatcher Link to comment
CelebrateCeleste Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Thanks for getting the thread started! A. What's the focus of your group? 1 goal, 3 goals, motivation, tracking, etc... I'm thinking motivation, mostly. I often need a firm nudge! But I'm open to other suggestions too! B. How much info do you want to share? There doesn't have to be a rule here, but if you're feeling iffy about the content (TMI stuff) but want to talk about it, then use the Spoiler box so that folks know that going into that box means you have agreed to the risk. Some folks handle other people's stories just fine, some get triggered. SPECIALLY useful for the group working on awkwardness! I'm pretty comfortable with anything here. I'll need to learn how to use the spoiler box. What do the rest of you feel? C. How often do folks think they should post? Don't overdo it, this isn't your main challenge, but you'll want enough that the conversation stays fresh and everyone gets a chance to chat about their stuff and give responses as they can/want. At least weekly? Other thoughts? 1 Quote "I don't guarantee my voice - why would I? But I promise to tell my story." -- Johanna Gleason Link to comment
Chaos22 Posted April 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 A. What's the focus of your group? 1 goal, 3 goals, motivation, tracking, etc...I agree with the motivation part. I can always use a nudge since I seem incapable of doing it myself some days. B. How much info do you want to share? There doesn't have to be a rule here, but if you're feeling iffy about the content (TMI stuff) but want to talk about it, then use the Spoiler box so that folks know that going into that box means you have agreed to the risk. Some folks handle other people's stories just fine, some get triggered. SPECIALLY useful for the group working on awkwardness!I tend to share a lot once I get started and am comfortable with about anything. C. How often do folks think they should post? Don't overdo it, this isn't your main challenge, but you'll want enough that the conversation stays fresh and everyone gets a chance to chat about their stuff and give responses as they can/want.Weekly sounds good to me. I am normally on the site at least that much. 1 Quote Level 2 Bralani Eladrin STR 2.5 | DEX 0 | STA 5.5 | CON 2.5 | WIS 4 | CHA 1 Challenge: 1, 2 Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the high road to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction. ~Margaret Thatcher Link to comment
Wren Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 A. What's the focus of your group? 1 goal, 3 goals, motivation, tracking, etc...I mostly need the motivation. I have my goals set, but I sometimes get sidetracked. (Oh look, a squirrel. ) B. How much info do you want to share? There doesn't have to be a rule here, but if you're feeling iffy about the content (TMI stuff) but want to talk about it, then use the Spoiler box so that folks know that going into that box means you have agreed to the risk. Some folks handle other people's stories just fine, some get triggered. SPECIALLY useful for the group working on awkwardness!I can't think of any triggers that I would have, so I'm pretty open to whatever level of sharing everyone else is comfortable with. C. How often do folks think they should post? Don't overdo it, this isn't your main challenge, but you'll want enough that the conversation stays fresh and everyone gets a chance to chat about their stuff and give responses as they can/want.I think weekly is good. 1 Quote Pixie AdventurerExercise is not an option - it is a requirement.Current Challenge Link to comment
PettyMort Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Is it too late for me to join this group? I noticed you're low on Scouts. Hi! A. What's the focus of your group? 1 goal, 3 goals, motivation, tracking, etc...Oh, no one picked purple yet. Cool. I need motivation. I tend to start strong and then at the halfway point everything falls apart; I need long term support to help me keep going. B. How much info do you want to share? There doesn't have to be a rule here, but if you're feeling iffy about the content (TMI stuff) but want to talk about it, then use the Spoiler box so that folks know that going into that box means you have agreed to the risk. Some folks handle other people's stories just fine, some get triggered. SPECIALLY useful for the group working on awkwardness!Sharing is caring? I tend to say whatever is on my mind, but I'm happy to put it in spoiler boxes in case of triggering things. And I'm nosy, so I like knowing all about you. C. How often do folks think they should post? Don't overdo it, this isn't your main challenge, but you'll want enough that the conversation stays fresh and everyone gets a chance to chat about their stuff and give responses as they can/want.Once a day or weekly at least seems good for keeping the conversation going - touching base, making sure you're on track, getting the boost to not give up if your goals have slipped a little.

AresPandora Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 A. What's the focus of your group? 1 goal, 3 goals, motivation, tracking, etc...PINK! I'm taking PINK!Alright. As for goals for accountabilibuddies, I think motivation and support are key. Crisis management! In past challenges I've been in accountabilibuddies groups who didn't even bother checking anyone's challenge threads. Check the forums, give support, and let everyone know that they actually have someone paying attention to their challenge and they're not alone.Also, if any of our goals match all-around, then we could do a group goal.

I would be fine using a spoiler box if we would like to write out parameters of what is or is not acceptable, as long as someone can tell me how to go about doing that. I'm internet-stupid. C. How often do folks think they should post? Don't overdo it, this isn't your main challenge, but you'll want enough that the conversation stays fresh and everyone gets a chance to chat about their stuff and give responses as they can/want.I think we could post once or twice a week and be fine with it. Or, if you're having a particularly bad day or week, go ahead and post. That's my two cents. do I belong here? 1 Quote Ares Pandora,level 4 Mutant ScoutSTR: 7 | DEX 2 | STA 8 | CON 9 | WIS 5 | CHA 4 Challenges:1 | 2 | 2.1 | 3 | 4 Link to comment
AresPandora Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 How did everyone do over the last week? I'm calling my week a win, though I do need to curb the drinking on the weekend. Too hungover to move today. Also developing shin splints, so I'm toning down some of the workouts this week and probably skipping a couple runs.

PettyMort Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Over all it was a win but this weekend I slipped up with my diet. Back on track tomorrow.

Wren Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 I'm doing pretty good so far. I am keeping up with my exercise goals and I plan to really focus on my diet this week. Hope everyone else has had a good week. 2 Quote Pixie AdventurerExercise is not an option - it is a requirement.Current Challenge Link to comment
Chaos22 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 I have done well for the last week. It was helpful that I learned in my last challenge that planning meals and pre cooking everything I could was important for me to stay on track. 1 Quote Level 2 Bralani Eladrin STR 2.5 | DEX 0 | STA 5.5 | CON 2.5 | WIS 4 | CHA 1 Challenge: 1, 2 Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the high road to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction. ~Margaret Thatcher Link to comment
CelebrateCeleste Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 It's fits and starts for me, but I am doing better than expected. Editing to choose a color....

Wren Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 I'm doing pretty good so far. Now I just have to keep reminding myself that just because I want to put cheese on everything, doesn't mean that I should put cheese on everything (or anything, for that matter). 1 Quote Pixie AdventurerExercise is not an option - it is a requirement.Current Challenge Link to comment

AresPandora Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Shopping trip made me depressed, ate sugar stuff. Feel awful. However, temporary slip-up. Back to good tomorrow.

Terinatum Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Week 4 will be upon us soon. What is working for you and your group?Do you need different activities to keep things fresh?Are there things you're no talking about that you are nervous about?Is the challenge easier with your team with you?What plans do you have for the rest of the challenge?

PettyMort Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Activities would be awesome. I like the story based ones in the assassins group.

Wren Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I have enjoyed getting to see what everyone else is doing for their challenge. Having the other members means that I feel guilty if I don't post, so even when I am tired and don't feel like dealing with it, I still try to post at least once a week. In the past, one of my problems is that I stop posting at about week 3 and then I disappear from the challenge. This has helped me stay on track. 1 Quote Pixie AdventurerExercise is not an option - it is a requirement.Current Challenge Link to comment
