Elastigirl Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 In the past year, Elastigirl and Mr Incredible have destroyed 4 Omnidroids, saved the city from certain destruction 5 times, captured 4 villains, all while still maintaining their normal jobs. They have earned a rest, and have decided to take a vacation. Are you wondering what superheroes do for vacation? They go exploring for treasure! Several years ago, the Incredibles had found a treasure map, but had been to busy saving the world to follow it.For now, the world seems safe from Omnidroids, so the Incredible couple are going treasure hunting. The map leads them to an exotic volcanic island. While searching for treasure, they will have to be careful to avoid the lava flow. But, hey, they are super heroes, so a little lava won't stop them from their quest. This challenge my husband and I will be celebrating our 30th anniversary by going to Hawaii. Part of our trip will be hiking at the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. This is part of my Epic Quest, and we have been saving money for this, and am super excited about it. Beside the Volcano National park, I hope to also get some time in hiking, geocaching, snorkeling, reading, eating, drinking, and generally having a good time. Since I'm gone for half the challenge, I'm separating it into two parts, one for when I'm home, the other for while I'm away. Part 1 :Treasure HuntingBeing a super hero I will boldly explore the island in search of treasure, and like any good explorer does, will document my findings Goal 1: Treasure: Unlock some of my adventure quests from my Epic Quest : ideas include kayaking, snorkeling, paddle-boarding Goal 2: Be Bold:Superheroes and treasure hunters are bold. Do something on the trip that takes me out of my comfort zone. Goal 3: JournalTake pictures and share them here Part 2:Adventure preparingWhether she needs to take care of her family, save the world, or search for buried treasure, a superhero needs to be strong. While at home, I will Goal : 1 Log food on Myfitnesspal (note this may not happen the day I return, but soon after) Goal 2: Continue Focused Flexibility and kettlebell workouts ( not putting how many days here, giving some leeway for getting back into the swing of it after the trip) 10 Quote Wisdom- 13.5 Dexterity- 10 Charisma- 11 Strength- 12 Constitution-10 Elastigirl Just Living Life - January 3 to February 6 New Year Challenge! - Nerd Fitness Rebellion "The chief goal of living is not to merely stay alive" Mike Rowe Link to post

mom2sjm Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 We went to Hawaii for our 20th wedding anniversary (December 2014) and had such a great time. Volcano National Park is super cool. My friend went there just before we did and she took some amazing pictures and made some good recommendations of off-beat places to visit (including Hobbit House B&B off south coast).

obax Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 I'm so looking forward to hearing about you trip!! It sounds like you've got some fantastic things lined up to try out. One thing I will say is, snorkeling is pretty awesome. I've never done it anywhere tropical (I technically did it in the sub-arctic), and I never expected to enjoy it as much as I did, but even though I hardly saw anything (it was supposed to be belugas, long story...), it was still a great experience and highlight of my trip. I hope I get to do it again some time (next time with 100% more whales). Quote Human Ranger current challenge ~ allons-y! Link to post

Elastigirl Posted February 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 First day of the new challenge!! Woohoo! All the hype! I got up at 7:30 today (last month's challenge, that I'm still working to make a habit) But then wasted too much time on the computer.Did my workout though. This month for my Focused Flexibility, I am working on the same shoulder stretches, but instead of the long sitting stretches, I am doing neck position. Which is working on stretching your neck. Chose this one because on the assessment, I noticed I have poor neck mobility. And these stretches are supposed to help with the reach behind your back that I am working on. I tracked my food, and kept it at maintenance. After being in deficit, maintenance feels like I get to eat ALL the food. I love maintenance eating. Also went on a walk, and then did some errands, so my fitbit says 11,000 steps! The pictures are for my neck mobility. Not bothering to take pictures of the shoulder reach since I just did those for the end of the challenge.2/1/16Mobility warm upHalo/prying squat/ bridgesSwing drill35# 10 x 10 swings 7:42TGu 30/35/35/30/35Focused flexibility; combined shoulder and neck positions 6 Quote Wisdom- 13.5 Dexterity- 10 Charisma- 11 Strength- 12 Constitution-10 Elastigirl Just Living Life - January 3 to February 6 New Year Challenge! - Nerd Fitness Rebellion "The chief goal of living is not to merely stay alive" Mike Rowe Link to post
