annyshay Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 My previous Battle Log is here and gives some of my fitness background. It's time to start my journey over in a more focused way (and prove Navi wrong). Quote Love as thou wilt. Link to comment
annyshay Posted July 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 Annyshay is Summoned by the Great Deku Tree I want to re-establish my base habits before the next challenge starts in August. My current challenge with the assassins is over here, and has somewhat similar priorities. I've been working through the NF academy basics again, leading me to these daily plans. Any hero of time worth the name must have a few things, as Mido makes very clear at the beginning of Ocarina of Time - a fairy, a sword, and a shield. Fairy - I prioritize formal quiet time with God and mindfulness practice every day. Sword - I start every day with activity. The minimum is a 5 minute walk followed by a warm up. Shield - I am leveling up my healthy eating habits every day. Currently, I am logging my food and working on mindfully eating at NF level 5. Details behind the spoiler. I need to earn 40 rupees to get the shield. That's 40 meals documented here. I'm aiming for 30 days of logging, to click off the NF academy quest. Level 5: No Pasta, No Sweets"I have a pretty good grasp about what’s healthy food and what’s not. I’m a smart person and I have made a few key changes to how I attack my daily nutrition. Liquid calories have been removed for a while now. I now crave water as much as I used to soda! For at least 6 days a week, I am no longer eating pasta, bagels, muffins, or other empty calories. Candy and sweets are a VERY rare occasion. AKA ordering dessert after dinner is a treat every two or three weeks (instead of almost nightly). Every meal has a quality protein source, and every meal has a vegetable. I’m still eating things like rice, potatoes, and some bread (though I’m cutting back on those things in favor of more protein or vegetables in some cases)." 2 Quote Love as thou wilt. Link to comment

annyshay Posted July 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Meditation and quiet time Morning walk, warm up, 275 burpees, 5+ mile walk around lake Calhoun Food logged on MFP. Carbs 87gm (had delicious ice cream at Sebastian Joes and white zin wine, mmmmmmm). Breakfast and Lunch were mindful. Dinner I was watching TV. :/ Quote Love as thou wilt. Link to comment
annyshay Posted July 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Yesterday I trialed my new morning routine and rather enjoyed it. Walked for 5 minutes, sun salutations, and spent quiet time with God. Throughout the day did lots of hollow holds for quidditch despite the heat and humidity. Logged my food on MFP and did fairly well despite a BBQ with friends in the evening. Carbs ended up at 223 gm because I had some homemade cookies and a fancy layered cake thing. Mmmmmm. 2 Quote Love as thou wilt. Link to comment
Lightning Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Great time to re-establish those habits and gear up for the next challenge! I tend to spend week 6 reflecting a bit so that I can carve a new challenge that will help me continue to level up bit by bit. Great job on the Snitch, BTW Quote Level 23 Assassin Current Challenge "Nothing is true; everything is permitted" Link to comment
annyshay Posted July 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Great time to re-establish those habits and gear up for the next challenge! I tend to spend week 6 reflecting a bit so that I can carve a new challenge that will help me continue to level up bit by bit. Great job on the Snitch, BTW I often find that I plan too far ahead and by the time the challenge comes around I'm already mentally on to new goals... so I figure this might help some? THANKS! Only my team could make me do all that when the other team wasn't even trying to get the snitch. 1 Quote Love as thou wilt. Link to comment
