LadyShello: the Wonder Woman transformation continues

[Shello]

 

Main Quest: My main quest has taken on a new form. After the end of the previous challenge, I made a roadmap for 2016.  It encompasses my goals for 2016.  All my challenges for this year will be geared toward getting me closer to those goals.  

 

This is the first challenge of the year and it follows a fairly undisciplined winter break.  I need to get on some solid footing during this challenge.  Luckily, the challenge is only 26 days long so I don't really feel like I am 'wasting' a challenge.  The format for the last challenge worked really well for me.  And I have found my spirit animal in Wonder Woman so I will be continuing the same format. The following will serve as my foundational goals.  Not all of them are graded.  In addition, each week I will Face-Off against a villain, represented by another rebel where I will declare additional goals that push me beyond the foundations.

 

 

Bulletproof Bracelets

 

These serve as a defense for both Wonder Woman and her foes.  In order to keep them in working order I need to stay within the ‘sweet spot’ under 1600 calories.  I also need to manage variances better.  I struggled with this for all of last year.  I think the key is to allow for more variances but to keep them small.  This might take some experimentation.  1 small variance per week that doesn't undo any progress for that week would not be a problem.  I just need to figure out where the line between a small variance and a big variance is.  There is 1 exception for LordShello's birthday during this challenge.  

 

Amazonian Strength

She’s an Amazonian princess for crying out loud. It's time to step up here and channel that Amazonian strength. I want to start StrongLifts but I am not ready to commit to running to the gym three times a week.  I've grown accustomed to doing my workouts at home and I think this will be a tough transition.  For my strength foundation I need to at least do 3 strength workouts a week.  I have primarily been doing Shovelglove at home but this should be more of a warmup to some other workout.  I'm going to set up a session with my trainer to get started on lifting. We've worked out a schedule that should allow me to go to the gym on Wed, Fridays, and Sundays.  I would love for the 3 workouts a week to be at the gym with some pushups for a warmup. That would get me an A but at least doing something at home would get me a C 

 

Lasso of Truth

This was how Wonder Woman got shit done.  For this goal I will work on conditioning.  I have some races to train for this year.  I had trouble keeping up with this once winter started.  I've got some new gear to test out now.  For a foundation I want to get out and do some cardio or endurance training 3 days a week.  This will balance out with the 3 days of strength training and give me 1 rest day.  At a minimum, I want to ruck the route by my house.  Doing this 3 times a week would get my just over 5 miles.  It's not a ton but I'll use the Face Off goals to push this even further.  

 

 

Tiara

Did I mention Wonder Woman was a princess?  Princesses have to be the best they can be and I have a list of things I want to improve on.  There are two many goals on my roadmap to accomplish in one challenge so I've had to edit my RangerBrain a little here.  For this challenge I want to focus on the following goals:

• Read the Konmari book on tidying up. This will get me started on the tidy and organized house goal and the reading goal.  It might even help with getting enough sleep
• Try FlyLady again. I liked the program last time but I had a hard time making it fit my lifestyle. I want to give it another try and not be afraid to modify it to fit my needs.  Even doing something it better than nothing.  
• Stretching and foam rolling.  If I am going to increase my strength workouts let's try not to get too sore or injured.  Just do it.   

Villain Face-Off Battle

 

Last challenge Wonder Woman battled many of her villains.  Now she is ready to take on more.  This time she'll be helping out the Justice League battle theirs.  This challenge's Face-Offs will feature The Injustice League Villains.

 

 

 Each Sunday Wonder Woman will encounter a randomly selected villain by a roll of the dice.  Each villain is represented by another NF rebel.  In order to win the battle against the villain, I will need to declare 2 additional goals from the 4 goal categories above and compete against the supervillain’s own goals.  I will declare my goals at the beginning of the week once the villain is selected and challenge my fellow rebel to set their goals.  Highest score or closest to 100% wins the Face-Off.  1 stat point awarded for every Wonder Woman win and whichever skill best matches the goal category.   I’ll be posting the villain sign up sheet shortly so if you are interested in a Face-off battle, stay tuned.

I really hope Bane gets picked. I think I understand why some actors say it's more fun to play the villain.
