thekatisalie Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 My Mission: To create a maintainable fitness plan and get back to my pre-summer weight of 145. Summer is full of fun, beer festivals, and food. I have been able to stay within about 5-7 pounds of my goal weight (which I achieved back in May), but I’d like to quit making excuses and make fitness a habit again, rather than relying on my revved up metabolism to keep me in check. Kaio-Ken… TIMES TEN! (Goal 1) Workout 5x per week for 30 minutes or more.This worked out really well in my last challenge, so I am doing it again. Instead of feeling pigeon holed in one program, having the ability to realize it’s gorgeous out and I’d rather go for a bike ride is important to me staying on track. It brings the enjoyment back to fitness again. And that will keep me stable much longer than feeling trapped by constraints. I would like to work toward a balance of cardio and weights while training for a 10 mile in October. It’s Over 9000! (Life Quest) Continue paying off credit card debt and saving for the future.With plans for baby on the horizon, this is getting even more serious and more important. Goals this go around will be:- Pay $100 off on both credit cards per month ($100 a pay period to one card, and then $100 to the other the next pay period).- Put $100 per pay period into a savings account- Cut back $150 allowance per paycheck to $100 and LIVE WITHIN THAT RANGE. It’s okay to say no. You’re so totally allocated right now. Get used to it. KAKAROOOOOOT!!!!! (Goal 2) Core work 3x per weekYou've got to have a strong core to do all the yelling Vegeta does... And I need a strong core because I don't really have one. I plan to try to get 10 Min Abs in 3x per week, or supplement with other core workouts. Eternal Dragon, by your name, I summon you forth, Shenron (Side Quest) One Cleaning Project a WeekI can’t gather Dragon Balls and wish my house clean. Believe me, I've tried. I’m starting a list of projects I will work on throughout each week to slowly chip away at all the projects I need to take care of that have been driving me NUTS.Take garage sale labels off of four boxes of books to bring them to Half Price Books for resale. Finish revamping and organizing the craft room. Take donation boxes in the garage to Good Will Organize brewing kit (under stairwell and in sunroom) Clean the freaking master bedroom already! Complete ALL laundry in the laundry room and put it all away. Buu Turn You Into CANDY! (Goal 3) Eat out only once per week and stay as clean as humanly possible. I realize I can’t eat clean 100% of the time, and that some restaurants are pretty clean as is. I want to be as aware of what I choose to put in my body as possible. My goal remains the same from last challenge -- one meal out per week. 4 Quote Level 24 Frost Archer ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ Current Challenge: thekatisalie is back :: no seriously this time MyFitnessPal || Strava || SmashRun || Twitch I Instagram.

thekatisalie Posted September 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 WEEK ZERO ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: Bike home in a thunderstorm and downpourI went to #BEERandBIKES again last night (I really like these guys, and for once I'm the baby and not the oldest) and on the way home I totally jinxed us and said "looks like we missed the storms!" Annnnnnnd then we biked 9 miles home in the rain.It was actually SUPER refreshing and it was really fun. It wasn't too cold to be stuck in the rain, and it made for lots of laughs on the way home.I'm off for a few days to Tahoe/Napa/Murphy's so I will try to keep checking in with Week Zero. We hike Tahoe tomorrow morning and I'm SUUUUPER excited! 6 Quote Level 24 Frost Archer ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ Current Challenge: thekatisalie is back :: no seriously this time MyFitnessPal || Strava || SmashRun || Twitch I Instagram.

Mac Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 First of all, super jealous of biking in the rain. I've only been back in California for six months and I'm already jonseing hard for any sign of rain. It feels like it's been soooo long. Second of all, these are a lot of goals, but a lot of good goals. Paying down debt, saving baby money, AND building a strong core? That's intense. Good luck across the board. 1 Quote Level 7 Ranger, Perpetual Newbie Tell me, what is it you plan to dowith your one wild and precious life? Mary Oliver Link to comment

thekatisalie Posted September 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Guess who is back from vacation!? It’s ME! California was amazing. The Butte Fire was too close for comfort, so we had to change some plans. Hiking Tahoe was AWESOME. But 9,500ft of elevation was really hard on my lungs! We tired out really fast. ANYWAY. YAY DAY TWO! I’m not counting yesterday against my eating out goal, since it was out of my control with living in an airport all day.I’m kinda in nutz-o mode right now. I have basically today to clean for my birthday party this weekend, tomorrow is Beer and Bikes (not missing it…we’re going to Surly!), Thursday is my 10k, Friday is birthday dinner with family… Saturday is party… Sunday is my first actual day of rest. Just gonna go at it and see what I can get done.PS: MAC IS BACK!

Rurik Harrgath Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Welcome back, kat! Sounds like you had an awesome time. I've never done any elevation hiking so that is something I've always wanted to do. For someone who has grown up at or around only 400m above sea level, I can't even fathom what the thin air would be like. 1 Quote [Level ?] Altered Outrider (Tech Shaman/Lightning Tempest) BRUTALITY 13 | FINESSE 12 | GRIT 13 | INSIGHT 15 | MOXIE 13 Equipment: Armor of the First Altered (rare), ECA-AR4 'Space Revenant' rifle (rare), Outrider's pack & Enoch alchemy kit.

thekatisalie Posted September 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 You don't really notice it until you feel really stupid for only being able to go a quarter mile without needing like a 10 minute recovery Also, taking a deep breath felt like I wasn't quite getting all the oxygen I was used to. I'd love to go hike more elevations... but maybe not a jump from 300 to 9000 1 Quote Level 24 Frost Archer ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ Current Challenge: thekatisalie is back :: no seriously this time MyFitnessPal || Strava || SmashRun || Twitch I Instagram.
