maigrey Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 I’ve become a huge fan of Habitica, as it has really kept my habits and daily tasks on track. The quests and collecting of things is also motivating, as is not killing my party when I don’t do things. Thus, my monster-themed quest! Be forewarned, this is somewhat lengthy. Weapons TrainingIn order to slay monsters, I must be fit and dextrous with my weapons. Training is comprised of: 50 squats per day [sugar craving squats count to this]10 single leg balances per leg per day2 weightlifting classes / wk [M, Sa]2 strength workouts / wk [W + ? ]1 yoga class / week [su]bonus points if I go to stretch class on Th Defeat the Sugar DemonI love carbs, and sugar, and donuts, and basically any dessert that doesn’t involve bananas. I also get mood swings and generally feel like crap when I eat these things. I did the 21DSD last month and I did not crave sugar while I was on it. In order to slay this Sugar Demon, I must: Do two 21DSDs with the following exceptions:Berries & oatmeal ok2 drinks allowed on datesDrinks at Camp NFMom’s birthday mealAttend 2 meetings / weekAvoid stress / emotional eatingJournal dailyMeditate daily [even 2 min counts!]20 squats whenever I want anything off plan Vanquish the Dating Anxiety DragonLong story short, I have serious mental blocks when it comes to available men I do not know well and closing the deal. I shall vanquish this dastardly dragon by completing the following tasks: Message 5 men / day, except for week 1 which will be:sign up for PoFsign up for matchupdate OKCupid profile5 min tinder / day1 date / week1 hookup / mo OTHER BOSS QUESTS:Mutant Koala [Australian Drop Bear]Renew PassportApply for TSA precheck / global entry [requires new passport]Apply for visas [requires new passport] The Hellion HoardFollow decluttering schedule [TBD] HOA-AAAAAH HorrorBalance checking accountFollow up with Scott re:condo meeting minutesAsk Mark to call / contact owners to be on a committeeCall AT&T re:business lineReply to Anthony re: condo management TPS TitanProcess RH exit paperworkProcess GC exit paperworkProcess TA exit paperwork 1 Quote Battle Log of AwesomeCurrent Challenge: maigrey goes MAD ..isonPrevious Challenges: 1, 2, 3, 4(ish), 5(ish), 6(ish), 7(ish), 8(ish) Link to comment

What's that? and re:sugar demon: Pusheen. <3 BIG challenge, but you've got your big girl wand and things... well I guess a big girl sword now.ME: Okay okay, all the Pusheen <3 Day 1.1 The day surprisingly wasn't horrible, considering I had been stuffing my face with sugar and process carbs the week or so before this challenge. Sugar cravings came, I did squats. I also did some mental habit changing talk - "Hey we could eat that, or we could fit into the super awesome green trench coat you got 2 weeks ago", which did help. Also, telling myself that whatever food I wanted really wasn't going to fix the problem causing me to want to eat. I had my workout with Sheena, which was a bunch of strength exercises [good mornings, DB presses, wall sits, arch holds, hollow holds, etc] I got my 10 leg balances in, but in a surprising move, She did not have me doing any squats! So, made those up at home. She's thrilled about my squat and leg balance challenge, though. Also - FINALLY, I was able to do snatches and cleans with the big girl bar again! SO EXCITING! I've been sidelined with a nagging back injury which only hurt when i was compressing my spine (like oh, in squats, and snatches, and cleans..). I've been working out with the 15lb training bar (~7kg) with some additional weights for a while, and my back finally felt good enough to go up to the 15kg one! And, even better - it feels fine today! YAAAAY!

maigrey Posted September 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Week 1.2: Yesterday was a bit of a whirlwind,with a mix of tired and productive. I put together my decluttering spreadsheet, although after getting through the task yesterday, I may have bitten off more than I can choose, and the schedule may slip a bit. I forgot to mention I sent off my passport application / photos, so that drop bear is now slightly wounded! Ha! I was going to go to yoga last night, but I had stuff I wanted to get done, so I scheduled for Friday instead. Of course, I forgot I have a haircut appointment right after work Friday, sigh. So, Sunday night it shall be, unless I sneak into one Thu or Sat. Food was good, still having sugar cravings, but those are all mental, as I am definitely getting enough calories. But, I know that will settle down soon. 50 squats [2/7]10 single leg balances [2/7]weightlifting class [0/2]strength workout [1/2]yoga class [0/1]bonus?21DSD [2/42]Attend meeting [0/2]Journal [2/7]Meditate [2/7]sign up for PoF [0/1]sign up for match [0/1]update OKCupid profile [0/1]tinder [2/7]date [0/1] Other:Renew Passport ✓Decluttering ✓ Quote Battle Log of AwesomeCurrent Challenge: maigrey goes MAD ..isonPrevious Challenges: 1, 2, 3, 4(ish), 5(ish), 6(ish), 7(ish), 8(ish) Link to comment

maigrey Posted September 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 I know I've been lax on the updates, but I have been challenging on! Things have been very busy at work, and this challenge is keeping me busy in the evenings, so that means not a lot of time to actually update! I've got 4 days to update, so I'll spare you and break these into two posts. Week 1.3: (Wed)I have just been so exhausted. It's likely this is carb-detox and/or season change related, but I just want to sleep 80 hours a week. I gave in and had some PB straight from the jar. It's not on the 21DSD plan, but it's the lesser of the many evils. I'll live. I also really didn't want to drag myself downtown and go to my friend's birthday wine get together, because effort. I dragged myself down then, and as usual, had a great time catching up with friends. It's like the thermite reaction: it takes a lot of energy to get things started, but once that happens, BOOM - lots more energy is released than what you put in. I came home around 9pm and made oatmeal for tomorrow and soft / hard-boiled eggs. I really must remember that a perfect soft-boiled egg is an amazing thing. it's a great comfort food and is much better than peanut butter! 50 squats [3/7]10 single leg balances [3/7]weightlifting class [0/2]strength workout [1/2]yoga class [0/1]bonus?21DSD [2/42] - had pb, which isn’t HORRIBLE, but isn’t on planAttend meeting [0/2]Journal [3/7]Meditate [3/7]sign up for PoF [0/1]sign up for match [0/1]update OKCupid profile [0/1]tinder [3/7]date [0/1] Other:Renew Passport ✓Decluttering [2/7] Week 1.4: My crazy work project is kicking back up into high gear, which is really making my 21DSD difficult, bcause it just makes me want to drink. I'm talking 'I want to go on a date just so I can drink' levels here. Too much fun. I'm modifying the weightlifting classes portion of the challenge to 1 per week, keeping strength workouts at 2. I'll get a bonus for 1 extra weightlifting session, but schedule is kind of crunched as it is. Yes, I bit off more adulting than I could handle. Also, I severely underestimated how much time it would take me to declutter things. I'm on day three of decluttering my makeup vanity. It's ridiculous; I have WAY too much makeup. I should bring the easily sanitized items to Camp and offer them out to anyone who wants them, so they go to good homes. 50 squats [4/7]10 single leg balances [4/7]weightlifting class [0/1]strength workout [1/2]yoga class [0/1]bonus? no, missed stretch class21DSD [3/42] Attend meeting [1/2]Journal [4/7]Meditate [4/7]sign up for PoF [0/1]sign up for match [0/1]update OKCupid profile [0/1]tinder [4/7]date [0/1] Other:Renew Passport ✓Decluttering [4/7] Quote Battle Log of AwesomeCurrent Challenge: maigrey goes MAD ..isonPrevious Challenges: 1, 2, 3, 4(ish), 5(ish), 6(ish), 7(ish), 8(ish) Link to comment
