BitterOyster Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 BITTEROYSTER! Your very own Pokemon legend is about to unfold! A world of dreams and adventures with POKEMON awaits! Let's go! 1 - Strength Training 3xWeekTuesday: Body PumpThursday + Saturday: Stronglifts at home 2 - Go to the Gym 3xWeek The Pump session counts. The other two can be swimming, aqua aerobics or other classes. Hoping to try some new cardio classes and take another crack at Body Balance. 3x per week means good value on my membership, 2x is still better than single-entry. 3 - Ranger it Up Outside 2xWeek I'll pick from these options:BushwalkingRucking (city or nature)Swimming (beach)Planned 10km walk I never got around toGardeningRunningRuck to the park and climb MotivationAchieve a foundation of fitness before starting a martial art next year (and be able to do other cool stuff like pack hiking). This is going to be a lot per week (7 things since Pump counts for both #1 and #2). I thought about cutting back, but the outside stuff can be simple and worked into my routine by rucking to the shops a suburb over. Unweighted light exercise will give my body time to recover but still put a strain on my time and organisation, so I'll see how I go. I'll also be working the themes of each badge into some of the outside challenges, for 1 or 2 badges per week. Progress Week 1Badges: Strength: 3/3Gym: 3/3 (Aqua, Zumba, Pump)Outside: 3/2 (Hiking, rucking, gardening)Rucking: 2.8km Week 2Badges:Strength: 3/3Gym: 3/3 (Body Balance, swimming, Pump)Outside: 2/2 (swimming, rucking)Rucking: 7.68km Week 3Badges:Strength: 2/3Gym: 1/3 (TBW)Outside: 3/2 (Urban rucking, bush rucking x2)Rucking: 12.79km Week 4Badges:Strength: 3/3Gym: 3/3 (Body Pump, Body Balance, RuckFit WOD)Outside: 3/2 (Swimming, gardening, urban rucking)Rucking: 13.35km Week 5Badges:Strength: 3/3Gym: 1/3 (Body Pump)Outside: 2/2 (Bush rucking, gardening)Rucking: 5.32km Week 6Badges:Strength: 3/3Gym: 1/3Outside: 2/2 (Bush rucking, gardening)Rucking: 15.1km 5 Quote 2017: Year of the Epic Travel Adventure Lycan Ranger | Level 13 Current challenge - Metallica Theme Previous: 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Battle log/inspiration thread Link to comment

Tanktimus the Encourager Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 You have set them down the path of realizing that one day they will all learn how to Ranger. Incidentally, I like your new avatar. I found the old one inexplicably creepy. It shouldn't have been weird to me, it was a perfectly fine dog, but it got me for some reason. Weird.

BitterOyster Posted October 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Yeah, don't worry, they all end up in Rangers in the end.Oh, really? I had my old avatar as a bit of a joke, but it was pretty weird. 2 Quote 2017: Year of the Epic Travel Adventure Lycan Ranger | Level 13 Current challenge - Metallica Theme Previous: 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Battle log/inspiration thread Link to comment

BitterOyster Posted November 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Had to inflict a rest day upon myself but I did do some gardening (minus the digging) and pick up some super potions to help me with the Volcano Badge and the heat in general. 2 Quote 2017: Year of the Epic Travel Adventure Lycan Ranger | Level 13 Current challenge - Metallica Theme Previous: 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Battle log/inspiration thread Link to comment

BitterOyster Posted November 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 BITTEROYSTER received the BOULDERBADGE! Had to get in early this week. I hiked a new path (not weighted) and then climbed a rocky slope to join up with my usual path to get back. The new bit was rougher than I expected - normally not an issue but the heat was really getting to me. I wasn't planning something so difficult for the first badge but this hike destroyed me. I was worried I was going to pass out on the climb and fall. I had to sit down every 30 steps because I was so out of breath and my heart was going so fast. I've done the same climb on a cool day and it was tough but nothing like this. So I learned my lesson about extending myself when it's hot. This challenge is going to have to be my goodbye to hiking and rucking for the rest of the summer, except for freak cloudy days or stuff I can fit in the evening. The rock type battle:There was a lot of thisAnd a fair bit of this Pokemon encountersA wild Eastern Water Dragon appeared! A wild Noisy Miner nest appeared! And the views that made it all worth it 8 Quote 2017: Year of the Epic Travel Adventure Lycan Ranger | Level 13 Current challenge - Metallica Theme Previous: 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Battle log/inspiration thread Link to comment
