YAAAAAAAASSSS!!! There you are, I thought we lost you! Then again I was a little lost for a bit. You know I'm here stalking.... Errr... Encouraging you

 

LOL, NEVA! I was just distracted by Dragon Age this passed weekend....

[Mr_Willes]

Finally i have time to scribble some here! Subbing will be for tomorrow since the ipad somehow doesnt want me subbing people. Quite the challenge you have laid out, a lot of stuff i want to try out, but i just don't think i could stuff more in my busy life. So oow well in a couple of challenges i will have time for aomething new, hopefully.

Glad i found you ;-)

We're gonna work our asses off, again, this challenge!

[mom2sjm]

 

Your challenge looks very intense but I would expect nothing less!  I have a running goal too, add a run to my weekly exercise routine.  What I really want, what my real running goal should be is to run well enough that I don't panic everytime I see running in the WOD at my xfit gym.  I just want to be chill about it, like "oh, run an 800m?  no problem.  I got this."

[TheWanderingGhost]

 

 

 

 

As a whovian and a rebel, I would like to say nice theme and a I wish you the best of luck!

[Mr_Willes]

I'm gonna keep saying this every challenge:

 

You're a runner you just don't know it yet!

 

 

I've found just the thing for you!!!

LOL, I keep watching movies with lots of running in them. Hunger games: I'd be dead. The Maze Runner: Super dead. Star Wars TFA: DEAD. lol. I would like to be fit enough to believe I could run for my life if necessary.

As my dear loved ones know; if they ever see me running: CATCH UP. I only run for my life or run towards free money or bacon.

An Awful lot of Running to do

Workouts

-Workout 5-6 days a week [i am doing The Master’s Hammer and Chisel program, as well as spin classes and bodyweight classes at work so we shall see how exhausted I get]

--> I earn the big dummy award for yesterday. I nuked food when I got home and wolfed it down, and PAID FOR IT. Unhappy tummy for HOURS. Note to self, check for mayo before nuking. *SAD FACE* But I already did spin today so I might sub out the pre planned Cardio session at home tonight and do the balance work instead. It'll be good for me.

 

Sub Goal> build chin up, pistol squat, and hand stand ability, work on flexibility (one day a week for each progression at least)

--> balance work will give me pistol squat and flexibility work, thinking that tomorrow which is weight training and upper body tabata will DEF go towards the chin up progression as well as helping handstands. YAY!

Sub Goal>Do Meal Prep

CON +2 WIS +2

--> I'm going to cook up the turkey in the fridge so we eat it. Going to do some rice for the hubby, and going to get groceries tonight to do slow cooker meals

[Mr_Willes]

Did yesterday happen, i think not. Today is the TODAY.

LOL, I keep watching movies with lots of running in them. Hunger games: I'd be dead. The Maze Runner: Super dead. Star Wars TFA: DEAD. lol. I would like to be fit enough to believe I could run for my life if necessary.

 

You don't need the running, you are the one that makes other people run!

[RittenRemedy]

Yeeeeee! ;33 Awesome theme and awesome challenge. I would definitely not be fit enough for a TARDIS marathon, and I just realized I forgot to attribute my tasks! Oops.

[Trewest]

You don't need the running, you are the one that makes other people run!

 

LOL, I like that way of looking at it!

I am more a Donna than a Rose sadly. I'll run with the Doctor but chances are I'd slow him down.

Workouts

-Workout 5-6 days a week [i am doing The Master’s Hammer and Chisel program, as well as spin classes and bodyweight classes at work so we shall see how exhausted I get]

-->SioYAY got my workout in this morning. I went to bed at like 9:30 and woke up at 4:57 before the alarm could go off. Thought about going back to sleep and skipping workout, but got up and did it instead anyways. Great workout. Also, I am apparently teaching this workout to my friends on Monday next week so yeah... OHMYGODGONNADIEINPUBLIC! The group workout today is upper body TABATA which should be fun.

 

Sub Goal> build chin up, pistol squat, and hand stand ability, work on flexibility (one day a week for each progression at least)

--> Got chin up, pistol and handstand progression work in. Going to try and sneak some flexibility in next

-->So I ate superwell yesterday and dinner was a portion of tortiere (meat pie) that my father in law makes. It was delicious and SO MEATY. So much good protein YUM. I have more for tonight AND I have the slow cooker meal going. YAY OPTIONS!

Sub Goal>Do Meal Prep

CON +2 WIS +2

--> So my hubby put the turkey in the freezer it seems, so it was just so much easier to go with the tortiere last night. BUT I got meal prep in last night for today's slow cooker dinner, and I shall do more meal prep tonight. It's easy when I roll like this

 

 

The Oncoming Storm

Adult like

Sub Goal> Once a week try to do something FUN CHA +2

--> played some Dragon Age Origins again and got MURDERED by werewolves. Thank you for that little ego breaker....

An Awful lot of Running to do

Workouts

-Workout 5-6 days a week [i am doing The Master’s Hammer and Chisel program, as well as spin classes and bodyweight classes at work so we shall see how exhausted I get]

-->I got both my workouts in yesterday and it felt amazing! I kicked some serious ASS during the TABATA class too, espeically in the core section. Let me tell you it was quite the feeling of accomplishment when the skinny fit guy was trying to keep up with ME during the routine! I already got my yoga in today as its a day off of the hammer and chisel routine, and I have advanced spin this after noon.

 

Sub Goal> build chin up, pistol squat, and hand stand ability, work on flexibility (one day a week for each progression at least)

--> Got flexibility progression in this morning and it felt great for my back and oddly enough, my right thigh. Huh.

STR+2 STA +2 DEX +3

Food

-Eat healthfully, following the food plan from Master and Chisel (CONTROL ALCOHOL INTAKE)

-->Eating healthy is going super well. Those little portion things are damn handy. It's like, oh I get 4 green and red, that means I can eat these things off the list and not worry about it. It makes it really easy to go 'no I am not eating that I have this to eat instead'

Sub Goal>Do Meal Prep

CON +2 WIS +2

--> Meal prep last night for today's dinner and everything went in the slow cooker this morning. Last night's slow cooker peanut satay was oddly filling and rather delicious, it will be a repeat recipe I am sure of it.

 

 

The Oncoming Storm

Adult like

Do housework or adult tasks daily WIS +2

--> didn't vaccum but the adulting was taken care of in the format of helping my husbands mental health. Stress from drama at work that I am not going into. But yeah, it was an emotional night for him and I was there to help him. Beats vacuuming anytime.

 

Sub Goal> Once a week try to do something FUN CHA +2

--> played a little Dragon Age Origins but keep getting MURDERED by the lair of the werewolf. Shit. Then watched the Chronicles of Shannara because I love that book series and it was SO COOL so see it in TV form. Even though they do change things from the book in ways that make me angry. Like the whole inexplicable SEXISM of the Chosen. Which was never in the book!

--> I am loosing boob, I can tell that much at least.....

Sub Goal> STAY OFF THE SCALE

WIS +1

--> Didn't even think of stepping on a scale yesterday, and actively turned down a 'Biggest Loser at work' challenge today. Go me.

[RittenRemedy]

Nah, I have a ton of respect for Donna.  She's the one who best went toe to toe with him even if she was the most like us normal people.

[Trewest]

I loved Donna, and I loved that she stood up to him and everyone else around her. And I hate what was done to her. I would LOVE it if Capaldi could run with her, can you imagine the SASS????

An Awful lot of Running to do

Workouts

-Workout 5-6 days a week [i am doing The Master’s Hammer and Chisel program, as well as spin classes and bodyweight classes at work so we shall see how exhausted I get]

-->So yesterday I woke up and did yoga and felt AMAZING. And at noon I did a HARDCORE SPIN CLASS OF DEATH. Because sweet lord I was dripping sweat throughout it and seriously thought my legs were going to give out at parts. It was great. BUT thanks to under eating last night I got up this morning to a sour stomach and sore body and knew better than to try to workout until I got some food in me. So no workout this morning, but I have a pure lower body workout coming at noon.

Sub Goal> build chin up, pistol squat, and hand stand ability, work on flexibility (one day a week for each progression at least)

STR+2 STA +2 DEX +3

-->the workout at noon is DEFINITELY going to have pistol squat work in it, because I make a point to do that to myself in this class.

Food

-Eat healthfully, following the food plan from Master and Chisel (CONTROL ALCOHOL INTAKE)

--> so far no alcohol has been working. I have a trip home this weekend so I'll keep to the no booze thing but I know that we have a wine event coming up on the 20th, and then a concert/medieval times trip the weekend of the 22nd where chances are booze will happen, and I am planning for it. I'm allowed one beer with dinner and one at the concert, or two at the concert and that's it. Otherwise my healthy eating habits are going VERY well.

Sub Goal>Do Meal Prep

CON +2 WIS +2

--> so the slow cooker meal I had cooking all day yesterday was a terrible FAIL. Made it too damn spicy for me to eat. Not in the 'oh this is uncomfortably hot' way, but in the whole 'this feels like chewing LAVA AND GLASS' way.

 

The Oncoming Storm

Adult like

Do housework or adult tasks daily WIS +2

--> so last night adulting came in the form of me taking a damn nap. I was SO TIRED after my day, not sure why but I knew I was toast. So I took care of myself with a nap and felt much better for it. Go me!

Sub Goal> Once a week try to do something FUN CHA +2

--> I was literally too drained to even play a game last night. I just turned on Lord of the Rings and passed out.

--> I feel like I'm getting somewhere, especially as it seems I am loosing boob. Wonderful.

Sub Goal> STAY OFF THE SCALE

WIS +1

--> resisting the scale, resisting the scale....resisting the scale....

[Son of Rylos]

Resist the Scale!!! I'll weigh myself everyday if it keeps you away from yours. Either that or I'll invade Canada and as much as I'm a fan of Saving the Ta-tas, boob lose is good lose.

Sorry about the food heatwave. I know that some things need spicing up, but spicing down I'd a lot more difficult. So very glad to see that you adulted by napping.

LOL!

I'm actually doing well on resisting the scale. It's just weird today because work starts a Biggest Loser competition today and there's monetary rewards for pounds lost. But I have done the scale battle all last year and it didn't make me feel better so this time I am determined to only do it at the beginning and end of my challenges. Just like the measurements and progress pictures. So I don't start obsessing.

And for me loosing boobs is oddly encouraging. I'm not stacked, but I've always had fabulous cleavage. It has to do with the shape of my sternum and breast bone instead of my boobs, so I can loose boob and keep cleavage LOL.

Oh the nap was wonderful. I fell asleep as Frodo was picking up the Ring and woke up when Gandalf was fighting Saurman. After that my head and my body felt WORLDS better.

 

LOL on the food. I can handle spicy for the most part, but the recipe called for chili powder and jalepenos. I used cayenne powder, chilies and crushed habaneroes. My own fault for the lava death.

[Urgan]

Nicely done on everything but the lava and glass. That sounds like it is made of OW.

LOL, yeah I know. It was funny too because my husband is a lot better about spicy food than me and after a few bites even he was like 'yeah, this is spicy'. THe worst part? Beyond being too spicy it was boring as fuck tasting. GO figure.

Oh well, live and learn, right? I know I can't so much as handle chili flakes...

[Trewest]

Oh well, live and learn, right? I know I can't so much as handle chili flakes...

 

When we were working different times I could get away with screwing up dinner and getting something else to cover for it. There were a few times hubby came home to 'we're ordering pizza, please ignore the hideous smell coming from the kitchen'. But since I AM TRYING to eat well, I can't just do that. LOL. Meh. hubby will eat the left overs eventually. I stuck them in the freezer as tonight I get to drive home and see my mom and dad for the first time since October.
