Trewest Takes on the High Seas

[Trewest]

Why is the Rum Gone?

Step One- alcohol limited to wine events ONLY.

Step Two- Track what I am eating. Set reminders to track food consistently.

Booty- If I succeed at this during weekdays, every week for a challenge,  my reward is going to update my phone (time for a new one mine is cracked and glitch-tastic)

 

Swab the Deck Matey

Schedule chores and do them before gaming. Monday-Kitchen. Tuesday- vacuum. Wednesday-Bathroom. Thursday-cat litter and garbage. Friday-Saturday- chore free. Sunday- cat litter and laundry.

Booty- If I succeed at following this plan for the entire challenge, my reward is taking a weekend off and going to see my best friend (to be scheduled)

 

Short Drop and a Sudden Stop

Do the steps challenge for myself daily to get my cardio level elevated. Occasional days missed to rest/ life allowed, but MUST do at least 5 days a week.

Booty- If I succeed, my reward will be beating some of my demons back into their playpen.

 

Hoist the Sails

Workouts- Teaching Mondays and Fridays, if class is cancelled, do hammer and chisel total body workout anyways. Tuesdays and Thursdays are spin classes, if cannot make it, do treadmill cross country work. Wednesdays are groupfit class. If cancelled or cannot make it, do Les Mills Combat 60 min workout. Saturday is flexibility work and outside time if possible. If not possible, do Les Mills Combat 45 min. Sundays are rest with light flexibility work.

Booty- Getting sexy back.

 

A Pirate’s Life for Me

Take care of myself. Honestly take care of head as well as body. When the demons come out to play I am allowed to call for back up. I do not have to fight alone.

Hello! Following along again.

 

I like how you've broken your chores up into doing little things each day.

[starsapart]

I find that it's more likely that I'll do them this way. Will I honestly spend one day a week doing 3 hours of chores? Hell no. But I can easily do one 'task' a day without sacrificing my down time. So I am hopeful that this method will work better for me

Fun times! Looking forward to setting up a house routine similar to yours, since I tend to binge clean and suffer for it days afterwards.

A PotC challenge, aye?

Love this. There was a time I knew the whole first movie by heart.

Quiet Missy. Cursed pirates sail these waters, you don't wanna bring them down on us now, do ya? Mister Gibbs, that will do....

 

Okay, really weird dé-jà-vue moment here, but I was looking through Captain Jack Sparrow gifs and found this one:

I'm 99% sure that I made this as an avatar back when the first movie came out. I mean it's sloppy and the lighting doesn't fit, but I made this! I had a slighthuge crush on Johnny Depp, and his smile was just gorgeous in these shots, so I combined them. I made lots of other avatars back then (it's how I learned to use photoshop). Sorry to highjack (haha) your thread, but I was so dumbfounded that I stumbled upon this. Wonder how much of my other stuff is out there. Without credit :P

[Lycansbane]

In for this challenge...gotta love a PotC challenge!  Good luck mate.

[blkhole24601]

LMAO, on my thread I was lamenting about how I missed an opportunity to do a pirates-themed challenge vs. a ninja-themed one, and here you are with pirates.   Because I only found the time to start thread-hopping this afternoon shhhhh...

 

NINJAS VS. PIRATES LET'S GO

Yay! We can keep each other cleaning company! Though amusingly enough I did the kitchen yesterday because I was convinced it was Monday still... Silly long weekend throwing off my groove

No shame, I still have a crush on Johnny Depp. You want a laugh, watch Cry Baby. WTF is that movie.... so bad, so purposefully bad. It's cool to find something you made on the internet. Sucks that there's no credit though.

I know, I was so surprised But the no credit thing is fine. It was ages ago and these avatars and signatures I made were meant to be used by fellow fans. Now, if someone took one of drawings and claimed it was theirs, that would be a complete different situation!

Why is the Rum Gone?

Step One- alcohol limited to wine events ONLY.

--> SUCCESS

Step Two- Track what I am eating. Set reminders to track food consistently.

--> SUCCESS (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/Trewestriandta?date=2016-03-29)

Booty- If I succeed at this during weekdays, every week for a challenge,  my reward is going to update my phone (time for a new one mine is cracked and glitch)

Schedule chores and do them before gaming. Monday-Kitchen. Tuesday- vacuum. Wednesday-Bathroom. Thursday-cat litter and garbage. Friday-Saturday- chore free. Sunday- cat litter and laundry.

--> SUCCESS! I cleaned the kitchen yesterday because apparently I forgot the long weekend meant it was TUESDAY. LOL. So today I vacuum!

Booty- If I succeed at following this plan for the entire challenge, my reward is taking a weekend off and going to see my best friend (to be scheduled)

 

Short Drop and a Sudden Stop

Do the treadmill/steps challenge for myself daily to get my cardio level elevated. Occasional days missed to rest/ life allowed, but MUST do at least 5 days a week.

--> SUCCESS. Did the treadmill since couldn't do spin class. Did the stairs when I got home. From ground floor I can run up to the 6th floor platform before I gas out. And then I walked up the rest. Today we shall see if I do better. Also, I might need to try warming up for it first.....

Booty- If I succeed, my reward will be beating some of my demons back into their playpen.

 

Hoist the Sails

Workouts- Teaching Mondays and Fridays, if class is cancelled, do hammer and chisel total body workout anyways. Tuesdays and Thursdays are spin classes, if cannot make it, do treadmill cross country work. Wednesdays are groupfit class. If cancelled or cannot make it, do Les Mills Combat 60 min workout. Saturday is flexibility work and outside time if possible. If not possible, do Les Mills Combat 45 min. Sundays are rest with light flexibility work.

--> SUCCESS! Followed my own replacement needs to cover a spin class I couldn't do. Go me. And today my friend asked me to TEACH HER TABATA CLASS!!!!! *freaking out* So I will be teaching a group fit TABATA class today. I've never done this before..... #SWEATS

Booty- Getting sexy back.

 

A Pirate’s Life for Me

Take care of myself. Honestly take care of head as well as body. When the demons come out to play I am allowed to call for back up. I do not have to fight alone.

--> SUCCESS. To be fair no mental demons have sprung on me yet but I am still claiming it a win!

 

[Lycansbane]

Awesome job!

[Trewest]

Why is the Rum Gone?

Step One- alcohol limited to wine events ONLY.

--> SUCCESS, though I was tempted to have a glass of wine for a little bit last night, I just ignored it until the urge went away

Step Two- Track what I am eating. Set reminders to track food consistently.

--> SUCCESS, though sometimes I don't know HOW to input what I ate because I have no clue of all the ingredients. I do not know what the food I ate was, other than tastey. It came from a little place called Al Noor and is some kind of meat, with a bit of cheese, a bunch of veggies, a pita/tortilla/bread thing, and spices.

Booty- If I succeed at this during weekdays, every week for a challenge,  my reward is going to update my phone (time for a new one mine is cracked and glitch)

Swab the Deck Matey

Schedule chores and do them before gaming. Monday-Kitchen. Tuesday- vacuum. Wednesday-Bathroom. Thursday-cat litter and garbage. Friday-Saturday- chore free. Sunday- cat litter and laundry.

--> SUCCESS, though yesterday it was laundry because we were away all weekend. Today I will do cat litter, garbage, and vacuuming because I need to lol.

Booty- If I succeed at following this plan for the entire challenge, my reward is taking a weekend off and going to see my best friend (to be scheduled)

 

Short Drop and a Sudden Stop

Do the steps challenge for myself daily to get my cardio level elevated. Occasional days missed to rest/ life allowed, but MUST do at least 5 days a week.

--> SUCCESS, though I was running it with a laundry basket tucked under one arm which REALLY through off my running 'groove'

Booty- If I succeed, my reward will be beating some of my demons back into their playpen.

Workouts- Teaching Mondays and Fridays, if class is cancelled, do hammer and chisel total body workout anyways. Tuesdays and Thursdays are spin classes, if cannot make it, do treadmill cross country work. Wednesdays are groupfit class. If cancelled or cannot make it, do Les Mills Combat 60 min workout. Saturday is flexibility work and outside time if possible. If not possible, do Les Mills Combat 45 min. Sundays are rest with light flexibility work.

-->SUCCESS!!!!!! I TAUGHT TABATA. And I survived. And apparently people liked the class so yay I didn't screw it up!

Booty- Getting sexy back.

 

A Pirate’s Life for Me

Take care of myself. Honestly take care of head as well as body. When the demons come out to play I am allowed to call for back up. I do not have to fight alone.

-->SUCCESS. No demons out to get me yet, which is good.

Lol, I've attended enough of them that I have an idea of the formatting, and I know enough about what workouts I enjoy to try and formulate a plan for one that I'll enjoy teaching. My friend who's been encouraging me to become an instructor is thrilled that it went this well. For myself, I enjoy it, but not enough to ever make fitness instruction my life's work. It's a pleasurable hobby though.

LOL. I have my game face on Mainly I want to start seeing changes and that means being honest and disciplined and this week is the week I have to get the kinks out of the actual plan.

[Urgan]

2/2 on Zero Week~

[Briniel]
