Tanktimus the Encourager Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Sorry - I see you broke out your pitchfork and torch for a whole lot of nothing - because I self-started my ass back on track! The heart system is kind of up in the air? Last challenge, I increased by half a heart each day I completed my tasks - for a full bar during challenge wrap-up (which is a jump in half a bar, but: pretty). Monday would be half a heart, Tuesday 1 heart, etc. This challenge ... I think I'll continue that trend -- but kinda not; because some of my goals I can't do anything on right now (like the 23 and me goal where I'm twiddling my thumbs). And it seems like for some of these that have baby components (like the fitness goal), maybe I could do something differently? I dunno yet, but I think I'm staying the course with the increase by half a heart daily tactic. Make sense? Any large logic flaws? I think the only problem with your current system is that it makes each day half-hearted. 9 Quote Current Challenge "By the Most-Righteous-and-Blessed Beard of Sir Tanktimus the Encourager!" - Jarl Rurik Harrgath Link to comment

darkfoxx Posted November 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Week 1 Day 2 Overarching Goal For This CycleDo the things, but keep schoolwork in the forefront of my mind and time commitments. Goal 1: Work It OutDid I work on the following today? Tabletop RPG Entry/Main Workout For The Day (spreadsheet): Today was a class day - no time for a big workout; fit in a little work as I could within the framework of the day. Still confused about spreadsheet. Beer Yoga (spreadsheet): Rolled a 40: Balancing Table Crappy Balancing Tabletop (+coffee!) RuckFit (Spreadsheet): I got a baby ruck in today before class. I don't have as much time pre-class as I'd thought. Arriving early is a good thing. Rangers Gonna Ranger RP: This week’s skill - General Movement And Getting Around. I got some rucking in today! Pull-up Work: Nope. I need to codify a rule that class days = pull-up days. Darebee Conquer 20: Rolled a 9: Star Plank. Did :30 total - 15 on each side, because the ground was killing the heel of my hand. Goal 2: MacrosSSDD. 100 grams or under of carbs, 70 grams or over of protein, 100 grams or under of fat and around 1,500 calories. Breakfast: DH’s green smoothie + hemp protein powder + coffee with almond milkLunch: Pumpkin chiliDinner: Paleo meatballs from Hu Kitchen + a coffee with coconut milkSnacks: None Calories: 1,218 of 1,500Carbs: 65 of 100Fat: 77 of 100gProtein: 85 of 70g Sleep: 6h 59m total - 0m awake, 4h 04m light, 2h 55m restful. Melatonin. The brain is funny. I thought I got great, restful sleep with no dreams. Apparently, I did not. Goal 3: MinimalismI did so well here last challenge, I want to keep the ball rolling. (The Minimalism Game - 6 Weeks to Less Stuff! [Nov. 2...) Today’s Purge: Halloween decorations, even though parting with that sparkly skull was kind of painful. Goal 4: CraftsyKeep up with crafting. Baby Blanket: NopeTank’s Cross-stitch: Worked on this during lunchProcess Pictures: NWolf’s Cross-stitch: Not YetMonthly Triceratops Cross-stitch: Not YetHoliday Cards: Not YetRanger Card/Gift Exchange: Not YetHoliday Cookies: Not Yet Goal 5: SchoolAim for class valedictorian, dammit. Class: Today was a class day. Homework: No homework, but we do have some optional work to do before Thursday’s class Goal 6: BadgesThis went over so well last challenge, I need to keep these going. And I want to re-vamp the styles so they’re more tiny friendly. Badge Progress: I’ve pulled images, and worked on a couple. General Movement Badge for this week’s Ranger Skill RuckFit Light (generic participant) Tabletop RPG (generic participant)Beer Yoga (generic participant)Draw on one person’s accomplishments for inspiration Goal 7: Mini Challenges & PvPsDo them. If nothing else, this will force me to get my workouts in - I may disappoint myself, but I try damn hard to make sure not to let my guild mates down. Did I do any work here? Yep. Beer Yoga, Conquer 20, RuckFit, some yoga I could claim on the RPG - possibly. Goal 8: BIOHACKINGYou thought I forgot about this one, didn’t you? I’m twiddling my thumbs, waiting for my data to get back from 23andMe and have been taking the 999999989 quizzes on the site to maximize my contribution to the greater good. TWIDDLING MY THUMBS.

It was all I could do to not beeline for the Halloween clearance aisle I know must be up and filled with everything I've ever wanted. Pull-ups are totally happening tomorrow.
