Reed Meadow Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 That is the thing about chocolate, you cannot just have once bite of it...

Moonkin Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Hi Lulurider,Welcome and good luck with the challenge! I will be following along and offering words of support when needed Those are some really straight-forward and achievable goals you've got there I used to struggle with the water vs pop issue a couple of years ago and I found that gradually scaling down the consumption (1 less can per day, then 2, etc.) helped wean me off it - I never drink it nowadays.Chocolate on the other hand is an ongoing struggle!! 2 Quote Moonkin Race: Dryad | Class: Druid Challenges: Battle Log: Character: https://www.nerdfitness.com/character/44134 "The harder the world, the fiercer the honour" Link to comment
crar4321 Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I found you! Yay. I see that the classic 3-runs-per-week challenge is one that we share! How far are you running at the moment? I'm trying to get back into it following a period of laziness following an injury, so am just sticking to 3ish miles each time for the duration of this challenge Oh and as for tips and tricks on getting to know the site, just spend a bit of time here each day, update us on your challenge, check out a few others, click around the forums a load and just press stuff! For previous challenges, they do mini challenges, to help newbies get involved with the site a little more, so keep an eye out for those (though I haven't seen anything about them so far, so I don't know if they are still going...) 1 Quote Aquatic ElfLevel 2 | STR 0 | DEX 0.5 | STA 1.5 | CON 6 | WIS 6 | CHA 1Challenges 1 2 Link to comment

LetItRain Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Don't feel too bad about not exercising when you are sick, just focus on getting some rest and feeling better. The hardest part can be getting your momentum back when you are feeling better, but you can do it! Hope you feel better soon. 1 Quote Current Challenge *In Every Moment There Is The Possibility Of A Better Future* Link to comment
