Reed Meadow Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 This made me chuckle! I am so bad when it comes to devices during meal times... Ah, If only I was graceful enough to pull off ballet and rollerblading! Sounds like a very secure plan, I wish you all the luck!Like a Sir,JollyOldMrPhelps 1 Quote Link to comment
Xygnis Posted January 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Thanks *JollyOldMrPhelps* ☺Sadly my rollerblading is anything but graceful (is awesome fun though), and I have never done ballet before, but suspect I will look like those tutu wearing hippos in Fantasia but with less grace Quote Character and Epic QuestsBattle Log Challenge 4 1, 2, 3 Link to comment
fleaball Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Ahhh I'm jealous of your rollerblading! Not so much the ballet, because I'd probably die in the first five minutes. make sure you rock that tutu!

Xygnis Posted January 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Challenge post updated^ Was successful today - this is a good thing. I did consider the fruit and veg with meals, however, not failing my "no mobile devices with meals" quest was a happy stroke of luck, rather than something I actively thought about... 2 Quote Character and Epic QuestsBattle Log Challenge 4 1, 2, 3 Link to comment
Xygnis Posted January 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Yay! 2 days in a row - some other positive stuff in my battle log too.Did nearly forget about the mobile devices at table, and did eat extremely quickly though 1 Quote Character and Epic QuestsBattle Log Challenge 4 1, 2, 3 Link to comment
Xygnis Posted January 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Failed on the fruit and veg.Had mid-morning snack of massiveness (snacks weren't meant to count as meals) , but then skipped lunch, so feel should count snack as lunch, so fail....Never two in a row - will try and be more mindful tomorrow 2 Quote Character and Epic QuestsBattle Log Challenge 4 1, 2, 3 Link to comment
SnowOwl Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Rollerblading is so much fun! I need to get back into that, perhaps this summer.Good luck with your goals!

Xygnis Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Not sure where the time went today - it jus flew by. Felt quite chuffed when at meal times I checked my self against my challenge goals - normally I get stuck straight in without thinking.Nearly failed lunch with my fruit/veg free "cheese" toastie, but then remembered my goal and threw a massive handful of salad leaves on top. Go me! 2 Quote Character and Epic QuestsBattle Log Challenge 4 1, 2, 3 Link to comment
Xygnis Posted January 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Hmm, looks like I am going to have to put my meal quests into my epic quest when complete (or type them all out a million times), quests can either be pass (assigned xp) or fail (0 XP) - no options for different XP within a quest depending on performance. Other than that, I like.Have modified my quest scoring slightly to fit in better with the new Epic Quests page - will see how things evolve.Am chuffed to have completed today's quests as I have let everything else slide. 2 Quote Character and Epic QuestsBattle Log Challenge 4 1, 2, 3 Link to comment
Xygnis Posted January 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Yesterday and today have been really bad days. Yes, I've completed my challenge tasks, but everything else I have chosen to let go to pot. Really annoyed at myself, and must stop choosing to sabotage myself like this all the time. Am really down about this, and about life in general. Am also really scared about this ballet class tomorrow. Right now, I am really regretting that particular 20 seconds of courage... 1 Quote Character and Epic QuestsBattle Log Challenge 4 1, 2, 3 Link to comment
Xygnis Posted January 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Challenge wise today was good. Did my meal things OK,and went to my first ever ballet lesson! I now ache, which is a great feeling. I did however manage to go to the wrong building at first, wandering around empty cavernous rooms wondering where everyone is, and then I managed to get locked in and security had to come let me out <blush> I also discovered that I have a totally irrational fear of being locked into places - I totally panicked, and there was no need to at all. 1 Quote Character and Epic QuestsBattle Log Challenge 4 1, 2, 3 Link to comment

SnowOwl Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Exciting first day - lost, locked in , and ballet! Way to go attending ballet even though you were nervous!

Xygnis Posted January 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 No one said fear was rational. We can't control what we're afraid of, just try not to let it control us.I know. I was just so taken aback at my own reaction, then realised it has happened a couple of times before. I'm just wondering what dark childhood memory I am suppressing...Way to go attending ballet even though you were nervous!Nervous was not the half of it! Was ready to turn around and go home after the locking in incident, and then arrived at the class which was primarily composed of willowy young things, and then lumpen me ----I'm getting better at remembering about my challenges, and checking myself before I eat, rather than half way through. Does this mean I am developing habits? 3 Quote Character and Epic QuestsBattle Log Challenge 4 1, 2, 3 Link to comment
fleaball Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I'd say you're making those habits, definitely! 2 Quote Level 69 Battle Kitten Battle Log | Current Challenge MyFitnessPal | Fitbit | Duolingo Ici je vis la vie que j'ai choisie Je suis partie pour reconstruire ma vie C'est dit, c'est ainsi Link to comment
Xygnis Posted January 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Nothing challenge wise today, some positive stuff going into my battle log though. 2 Quote Character and Epic QuestsBattle Log Challenge 4 1, 2, 3 Link to comment
Xygnis Posted January 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Week 3 day 1 (I think - I seem to have lost a day somewhere)Things are going pretty well with the challenges and ballet tonight ws awesome. I was much more relaxed, which made it much easier. 2 Quote Character and Epic QuestsBattle Log Challenge 4 1, 2, 3 Link to comment
Xygnis Posted January 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Oh FFS, seem to have lost half my first post 1 Quote Character and Epic QuestsBattle Log Challenge 4 1, 2, 3 Link to comment
Xygnis Posted January 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Oh man! I'm doing really badly at the moment, and using NF against myself "It's not in my challenge so I'm not going to do it today". Or maybe I should reframe. Things outside the challenges don't matter? I should concentrate on my challenges and at the end of the four weeks they will be an ingrained habit, and not a chore, and then I can build on top of that, rather than fretting about all of the things I should be doing?I'm really scared about going back to rollerblading - I'm going to go (skates were too expensive not to!) but it's been a long time since I went. Or reframe, as an exciting " new" challenge that I know I really enjoy? Quote Character and Epic QuestsBattle Log Challenge 4 1, 2, 3 Link to comment
Xygnis Posted January 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Challenges successfully completed ( however the rest of the day was total self sabotage) Quote Character and Epic QuestsBattle Log Challenge 4 1, 2, 3 Link to comment
SnowOwl Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 It's hard to decide what is most important to focus on and what can wait - it all seems to need to be done yesterday! Small steps are good, build your habits, then add new ones. 1 Quote Race: Elf ~ Class: Druid Apprentice ~ Level: 12 Current Challenge 2015-2016 Challenges: One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten, Eleven, Twelve 2018-2019 Challenges: (first one in progress) Link to comment
