Rhyme Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 OOOOH YEAH BABYYYY, LET'S GET THIS PARTY ROLLIN'!Stats:F/21/5'8"Starting weight: 226Current weight: 203Goal weight: Hella jackedMain Quest:Aesthetic-wise, I've been obese my entire life... now I want to be muscular! I'm sure this will require lots of heavy lifting!Fitness-wise, I have two things: one, I want to be a skilled poi dancer. This will require a lot of practice, endurance, flexibility, and hitting myself! Two, I want to have mastery of my body. "Mastery of my body" has a lot of interpretations, but to me, it means I have the strength and flexibility to actually do things-- pull ups, spontaneous handstands, sprinting away from aliens, climbing on stuff, etc... Fun, skill-oriented things my body has prevented me from being able to do!ALRIGHT ALRIGHT, ENOUGH EXPOSITION! LET'S DO THIS THING! RHYME AND FITNESS FOREVER 100 YEARS!~Rhyme gets schwifty~Goal 1: This is a court order, it says you can't eat shit anymoreSo, I haven't been logging my food. Also, my grocery store now has peanut butter Woppers in the bulk foods section. It's needless to say I've been eating tons of metaphorical shit.For this challenge I need to log my food into MFP every day (add me!). To clarify, I'm not outlawing the eating of shit -- I just have to log it in if I do, which often deters me from eating it in the first place!Goal 2: Join the CouncilI'm a pretty independent person (and a self-proclaimed hermit), but my fitness goals go really well whenever I'm on NF! People are always supportive and have tons of great advice! However... I'm an awkward lurker who isn't very good at joining groups. What happens is, I get skittish, I stop logging in, and then my goals fall by the wayside. Hanging around people is the motivation I need, but I'm too shy to hang around with people. Gaah!So, this goal is simple: keep in touch with my fitness council. This includes NF and, more excitingly, my new real-life fitness buddies!! I've never had people in real life to keep me accountable, so this could change everything for the better -- if I don't run back to my hidey-hole!Goal 3: It's the Rick Dance!I love poi and I've always dreamed of being a good dancer with them. That's gonna be pretty tough to achieve if I keep up my current schedule of no practice whatsoever.For this challenge, I'm going to practice poi at least three times a week!Life Quest: If I die in a cage, I lose a betI've been spending a disproportionate amount of time in my room lately. As in, every moment of my free time is spent hiding on my computer. I need to get out more!For this challenge, I need to get out of the house (excluding work/school) 5 days a week, even if it's just going on a walk or heading to the library. Going to the gym/track does count, and if I'm brave enough to do poi outside, then it would also count towards goal 2!AHEM! Before we get started, I'd like to give a motivational speech, an ode to success this challenge:I’m sorry, Fitness, it’s a bummer. In reality, I'm as sedentary as they come. And I needed those squats real bad, and I had to give them up just to get that time commitment off my back. So now we’re gonna have to go get more. And then we’re gonna go on even more adventures after that, Fitness. And you’re gonna keep your mouth shut about it, Fitness! Because the world is full of idiots that don’t understand what’s important, and they’ll tear us apart, Fitness. But if you stick with me, I’m gonna accomplish great things, Fitness, and you’re gonna be part of 'em. And together we’re gonna run around, Fitness, we’re gonna- do all kinds of wonderful things, Fitness. Just you and me, Fitness. The outside world is our enemy, Fitness! We’re the only f-friends we’ve got, Fitness! It’s just Rhyme and Fitness. Rhyme and Fitness and their adventures, Fitness. Rhyme and Fitness forever and forever, 100 years, Rhyme and Fitness's things. Me and Rhyme and Fitness running around, and- Rhyme and Fitness time. All... day long forever, all- a hundred days, Rhyme and Fitness forever a hundred times. Over and over Rhyme and Fitness, adventures dot com. W W W dot Rhyme and Fitness, dot com. wwwrhymeandfitnessadventures. All 100 years, every minute, Rhyme and Fitness dot com. www100timesrhymeandfitness.com.AND AWAAAAAAYYY WE GO! 2 Quote Lvl 5 Lightbending BardSTR: 10 | DEX: 10 | STA: 7 | CON: 9 | WIS: 15 | CHA: 5.5"If the desire to write is not accompanied by actual writing, then the desire must be not to write." - Hugh Prather Feel free to drop by my current challenge!

Rhyme Posted January 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 My real life fitness buddy is fantastic. I couldn't make it to the gym to lift with him yesterday and he said "Don't worry about it. Just make sure you do 50 push-ups and sit-ups by the end of the night!" Well, alrighty then! They may have only been crunches and incline push-ups in two sets of 25, but I did the heck outta them. Previously I would have just done nothing if I didn't go to the gym. It reminded me of some of the mini-challenges I did so long ago and it's really motivating! 3 Quote Lvl 5 Lightbending BardSTR: 10 | DEX: 10 | STA: 7 | CON: 9 | WIS: 15 | CHA: 5.5"If the desire to write is not accompanied by actual writing, then the desire must be not to write." - Hugh Prather Feel free to drop by my current challenge!

I've always thought about trying my hand at contact or double staff... though I should probably focus one one flow art for now. Sounds fun to dabble! I do fans and a little hoop, and I want to learn contact staff. I like playing with different tools because it allows me to play with different kinds of movement and music. Plus, sometimes I just really get into a groove where I want to keep dancing, but the muscles in my hands and arms start to fatigue, so it helps to switch to a different tool that doesn't use those muscles in quite the same way. 1 Quote only what you take with you Challenges: Starstuff Wars Episode I, II, III, IV, V, VI NF character ~ Fitbit ~ Strava ~ Smashrun ~ MyFitnessPal Food Log Link to comment
