zare Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Alright, I'm back (waits for applause... aaaand... nope) Ok I know I'm not that influential here, at least not yet, alright back to business. Alright so my main goal is to pass my next test so in that sense First goal: Diet I need to get back on track with a proper diet i've been slacking, back to the paleo ( as strict as I can be) STA +4 Second Goal: Flexibility My kicks lack height, apparently my hip flexors are incredibly tight or something like that, so I need to make sure that I get those up. DEX +3 Third Goal: challenge This is kind of a cop out, but I am going to make my third goal to compete in each one of the player vs everyone challenges STR +4 Life Goal: Career Unfortuantely I still haven't found a job using my degree, but that doesn't mean I'll quit, so again this challenge is to find my career WIS +4 side note, I'm stealing from someone here (no names but she'll know who it is, if she reads this) i'm taking the idea of the cheat jar as well if i mess up on my diet i put a dollar in.

LadyMonk Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Welcome back!! I like your goals, they seem really attainable. How are you measuring the flexibility one though?

zare Posted June 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 well there isn't a real way for me to measure unless i kicked at a wall every day and was able to mark exactly where I kicked and track my progression from there, so what I am going to do is every day I usually wind down the last hour or so with a little bit of tv, usually a Dr Who episode, so instead of sitting in a chair or on a couch I will spend every episode in a stretch switching the stretch that i'm using every ten minutes, per the suggestion of one of my blackbelts. 2 Quote Level 2, Monk, Half-OrcSTR:7 DEX:7 STA:5 CON:7 WIS:5 CHA:4 first challenge Second Challenge Third ChallengeFourth ChallengeFifth ChallengeSpreadsheet for current challengeweight loss(start: 275lbs, current:208) 89%89% Link to post
Teirin Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Good way to mix stretching and your wind down time. Working on that spreadsheet, I swear. Quote Behave yourself, badly if necessary. Current Challenge Judo - Shodan My Character Link to post
zare Posted June 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 alright no stress, I just want to be able to keep track of everyone else as well. and thank you, I'm hoping that it helps with my kicks i have a lot of trouble with my legs especially with my hip flexors 1 Quote Level 2, Monk, Half-OrcSTR:7 DEX:7 STA:5 CON:7 WIS:5 CHA:4 first challenge Second Challenge Third ChallengeFourth ChallengeFifth ChallengeSpreadsheet for current challengeweight loss(start: 275lbs, current:208) 89%89% Link to post
zare Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 So i trained on grass for the first time, uneven grass... definitely different im more tired from that than from any workout ive done so far 3 Quote Level 2, Monk, Half-OrcSTR:7 DEX:7 STA:5 CON:7 WIS:5 CHA:4 first challenge Second Challenge Third ChallengeFourth ChallengeFifth ChallengeSpreadsheet for current challengeweight loss(start: 275lbs, current:208) 89%89% Link to post
Kishi Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 There's definitely something to be said for training outside. Between the chaotic terrain and the weather, you toughen up in some truly unique ways. Quote Work like a farmer, train like an athlete, fight like a soldier. 2 Tim. 2:3-6 BATTLE! Link to post

zare Posted June 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 it's going pretty well for the most part, and thank you, but I am so tired already, i think i might just go back to sleep for the entire day, that means I at least can't cheat on my diet right? lol Quote Level 2, Monk, Half-OrcSTR:7 DEX:7 STA:5 CON:7 WIS:5 CHA:4 first challenge Second Challenge Third ChallengeFourth ChallengeFifth ChallengeSpreadsheet for current challengeweight loss(start: 275lbs, current:208) 89%89% Link to post
Kishi Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 Pretty hard to cheat on a diet if you're too asleep to eat. Quote Work like a farmer, train like an athlete, fight like a soldier. 2 Tim. 2:3-6 BATTLE! Link to post

zare Posted June 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 isn't that just terrible, because once you really need to sleep you don't want to lol Quote Level 2, Monk, Half-OrcSTR:7 DEX:7 STA:5 CON:7 WIS:5 CHA:4 first challenge Second Challenge Third ChallengeFourth ChallengeFifth ChallengeSpreadsheet for current challengeweight loss(start: 275lbs, current:208) 89%89% Link to post
Kishi Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Yup. That's why you sleep as much as you can when you can. Gotta take it while you can get it. Quote Work like a farmer, train like an athlete, fight like a soldier. 2 Tim. 2:3-6 BATTLE! Link to post

zare Posted June 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 i've been doing pretty well i haven't really cheated that much a few times the situation kinda forced it but other than that and the fact that i've been working for a family member as well, though i've been a little too sore to do too much for the challenges though I am participating still Quote Level 2, Monk, Half-OrcSTR:7 DEX:7 STA:5 CON:7 WIS:5 CHA:4 first challenge Second Challenge Third ChallengeFourth ChallengeFifth ChallengeSpreadsheet for current challengeweight loss(start: 275lbs, current:208) 89%89% Link to post
Kishi Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I see. Yeah, family makes this rough. You don't want to rock the boat too terribly much, even if you know that what you're doing isn't what you want. I have no good answers for that yet, seeing as how every time I'm with my family I use it as an excuse to take a break from the way I know I should be. I guess I'd say that it's all good, as long as when you're on your own that you do everything the absolute best that you can. Just my .02, though.
