Son of Rylos Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Avengers Assemble!!! Last challenge there was some misguided intentions.... but then a glimmer of hope and a new direction. So, what I need to do is take hold of this glimmer and run with it. And so I shall!!! With a little help and some charting and graphing, things shall be better. And it so greatly helps that I now have more freedom than I have had in almost a half decade!!! So now, time to call on my support system (goals)!!! War Machine War Machine is donned by Lt. Colonel James Rhoads, friend of Tony Stark. War Machine was originally one of the early Iron Man designs but was beefed up with enough armaments to level a small country. Last time I started with one very vague plan but then someone gave me the inspiration to try one of the Darebee workouts and it was going very well. So, what I NEED to do is beef up this workout program. What I will do is reset that workout and add onto it. Yes, it might sound like I'm going to possibly overdue it but I am confident that I will be able to grab onto it and run with it So, I'm going to reset the Foundation workout (hopefully to push myself into Level 2 on some of those workouts) and I'm going to add the Total Abs 30 Days of HIIT Darebee workout (after trying one day of it last week I feel that the Total Abs workout isn't going to go well because I didn't feel like I had good form... and that's just day one!!). So, here's the preview of the new workout: The plan: Do both workouts Daily, DOMS be damned!! (1 pt/each per day) Falcon Falcon, friend to Captain America (and no, I didn't purposely put both War Machine and Falcon back to back for the sake of Civil War..... or did I?!? ), was a paratrooper, using the Falcon Exo-skeleton for combat missions, until his partner had been killed in action. Sometimes, when tragedy strikes, you refocus your energy onto other activities (he decided to support others with PTSD). What I need to do is also refocus my energies again when it comes to my food choices. My new direction on food needs to be this: Firstly, I'll get back to tracking my food to visually see what I'm eating. Secondly, I'm going to give myself extra credit for not eating garbage (garbage being defined as fast food, including take out, and excessive amounts of snacks). The plan: Track food consuption (1 pt/day) and good food choices (1 pt/day) Ant Man Scott Lang was a 'thief' that was given an opportunity to help himself, his family, and Hank & Hope Pym. Donning the Ant Man suit, he is able to shrink down in size, still retain his strength, and be able in interact with ants, having them help him. I like this picture of Ant Man for two reasons: it's the first time he uses the suit and it looks like he's giving the thumbs up The other portion of this scene is him dealing with the power for the first time, which involves him running like hell from water. A great place to restart my need to drink more water in my life. While it's not the amount suggested for daily consumption, my goal is to get in 48 ounces of water daily. I clearly do not drink enough water daily and it needs to change. The plan: 48 ounces of water daily (1 pt/daily) The Vision The Vision is J.A.R.V.I.S (the computer system of Tony Stark's) uploaded into a body originally intended to be the final form for the automaton Ultron. With the Mind Stone embedded into him, he has a sense of humanity's chaos but also a compassion for humans. The Vision, to me, seems to be the wise despite everything the world has in it. So what I need to do is get back to really committing to the community and staying there with my comrades in arms. I remember back in the day that I will support the newest Rebels and keep up fully with my Assassins and other Rebels. I need to wade back into the water of that commitment to my fellow men and women! So what I will do for this is interact with no less than 4 of my fellow Rebels DAILY!!! And Likes don't count, I have to put something down in words. The plan: 4 interactions daily with my fellow people (one-quarter pt/daily) Time to get classy and in shape!!! 10 Quote Link to comment

But I got reminded of the you during our Recruit challenge. Wow that was a long time ago. Time flies. Yes, getting my setup goals completed was major... and fun. I'm thinking the two sets of exercises should help out because one will focus on where I really need to tone up (my core) and the other for overall health. I'm hoping now my weeks will be less crazy, but time will tell. I briefly went through some of the threads last night and noticed hers. I think I will stop in later.

Here's a overview of some of the days for the Darebee Foundation workout: As for the Ambassadors, it was more of a general question if anyone knew. I thought there was a little hiatus to it. But definitely, if I need something answered I'll hit the Den. 1 Quote Link to comment
Son of Rylos Posted May 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Day One Reassessment So I did try doing my full set of goals on Thursday, trying both workouts and I discovered that the Total Abs workout is probably not the best one for me to jump into at the moment. I didn't feel that I was getting the right form and if I don't feel that way with the first day, continuing is not in my best interest. So, in the interest of doing what needs to be done for me, I'm going to change up the Total Abs workout with the 30 Days of HIIT (I've changed my main post and changed the image). Onto other things with Day One: Tracking food is good but I'm TOTALLY not getting the other point for healthy choices (AKA I went out and saw Civil War today which I very much enjoyed). Water has been scarce (same reason). Workouts haven't been done yet but they are still on the docket for the evening. Plus, I've been keeping up with several Rebels today and I even volunteered to led the team I'm a part of for the Assassin's Mini (brave new world!!). All in all it's been a pretty good day.... not perfect, but I'll take good 8 Quote Link to comment

Son of Rylos Posted May 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Day One and Two Wrap-Up The best thing about taking a step on unsure footing? Slipping a little and getting an even better step in afterwards. A quick recap on the first two days of the challenge: Exercise: 1/4 -- Got Day One of Foundation redone just a little while ago. Better focus needed. Food Tracking -- 2/2 Food Choices -- 0/2 Water Consumption -- 1/2 Community Involvement -- 8/8 In other news, I also decided to step up and take on the leadership role for one of the teams in the Assassin Mini!! Yes, I was kind of surprised with myself when I did it but frankly, I need to do it. One, to enjoy myself and have fun but Two, to stick with this commitment til the end. I know Ferris Bueller once said "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it"... but I think that it's more than just that. You can't just look around, you have to be able to take the chance, be brave, and DO something. Apathy and fear can hinder this thinking but as long as we know that we are stronger than our fears, we can accomplish anything. 6 Quote Link to comment
