Kairiel waiting for semester to start

[Kairiel]

2 months til i am back at university for the first time since sem1 2013. I dont know what ive done to my computer but its crazy annoying right now. It clicks every time i hit a button and wont do double letters i have to go back and add another later. Same with deleting. Only one character at a time. ARGH

 

Goals:

1)Do my 30 day fitness challenges. Str+4

2)90% clean eating. Con+4

3)Run 3x week +Sta+4

 

side Q) Set up study so i can use it when semester starts. wis+3

 

I might expand on this later but right now i'm taking my computer to a parent who knows about computers and can tell me which function i've accidentally activated...

I hope you get your computer troubles sorted. Good luck this challenge!

study half cleaned! yay! i moved in and dumped junk everywhere. :\

Running going well! After restarting 2 weeks ago, i went from 9x2min to 6x5min!!!! I feel super proud. Hopefully i can make the next jump up to 5x8min.

30 day challenge, so far ive missed one of 5 days, but i was super drained and fell asleep at 7 so i wasnt too bothered by it.

Clean eating interesting.... i am eating yoghurt again, because im hoping the probiotics will help with digestive issues.......... 

 

I did get my computer issue worked out! It turns out when i fell asleep on my computer one time i turned on filter keys! 

 

EEEEEEK ONLY 54 DAYS TIL CLASSES START I JUST WANNA SCREAM

Its been an interesting week. 

There were(are) major bushfires through the south of western australia. My friend had to evacuate cos the fire was apparently almost upon their region. So i had her over for a few days. It wasnt as nice as i'd like because she was (understandably) really anxious about her house burning down. Thankfully it didnt. In that time i did almost nothing. Except one run. and it wasnt very good because my friends not a great runner yet. i kept (mostly) at her pace. She's not used to hills so it killed her. But she did it all! We were all really impressed.

Clean eating was iffy while she was over too, but im back into it now. 

I was super proud of yesterdays run! It wasnt amazing by any means, but i miscounted and put my all into what i thought was the last interval, only to find out there was another one. Right up a hill. ARGH. I made it though. With an intense feeling of pride. I am SOOOO good!

I have improved my plank time by 1minute since new years! I survived a 1:50 plank. Im not sure if my form was amazing though so i'll hold off from telling my family XD

Looks a lot like you're doing good! 

 

I'll stick around, lurking uhm, watching how it is going!

 

By the way: nice avatar!

The week continued to be interesting for my friend. Her car broke down (with us in it) just after midnight the day after her birthday(on the way back from her party). The alternator had basically drained the battery or something like that...Im not really a car person. It was terrifying. We were there like "ok, if it gets any worse we are pulling over" because the radio had carked it, the lights had gone from high beam to what looked like parking lights, even the engine seemed to slow down. It stopped just 5min from her house. Her mum collected us. 

We went back in the morning and waited nearly 2 hours for roadside assistance. In the end they towed the car and it cost her $250(aud). On the plus side we still got to go to our university for books. I have a student diary now!!!!! and i beat my anxiety on 2 occasions!!!! I actually ASKED FOR ASSISTANCE from shop assistants. I know, amazing, right?! 45 DAYS TIL UNI

 

On to the exercise/lifestyle info!

Study is basically ready. My dad got me some equipment so i have a massive monitor, its seriously like a small TV, wireless keyboard and mouse(which are attached to my laptop so i can work off it on a better system). Its pretty cool, but takes up half my desk XD

My eating's okay, mostly healthy, but ive been buying sweet food(like a brownie) eating half and throwing it out. Today i had iced coffee, but left the icecream behind. Just WHY?

30 day challenge..... ive been doing the planks. Just the planks. Ive got to kick it into gear for the last few weeks. At least my planks are now 1min 15sec longer than Jan1

Im quite proud of my running progress, but i havent run 3x this week, because my mum is my running buddy and on wednesday she runs with a different person D: Lame excuse, but its what happens. I will become stronger. I will learn to exercise alone!

 

Thats all i guess. Hope my massive fan following are all well. All two of you.

well great. I am considering this challenge a write off. sigh.

Ive done nothing really, except run a 5km with no walking.

I'll possibly rejoin next challenge.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear this week hasn't been going well either. It sounds like you've had a lot of bad luck this challenge. But a 5 km run without walking is definitely a great achievement!

 

I hope you do come back next challenge and try again.
