Red1263 VS Skeletons

[Red1263]

Once again, Red finds himself stumbling across the path. He looks around and notices that he's no longer where he was before facing the Blood Knight, "Wait... Again?!" He yells out loud. "OK I need to find a way to see the end of at least one of these things!" Despite his frustrations with himself, he presses on.

 

 

He notices he's surrounded by ground that's eerily plain, the air feels strange and different from the poison mist from before, it feels... evil. Brushing that aside, he lectures himself on making sure he's present when moving on to the next part of the journey. "Go back..." "Huh? What was that?" Red looks around, and doesn't see anything, there's no one and nothing but empty hills for miles, it's surprizing he didn't notice them in the first place. "Go back..." "There it is again. That doesn't sound like the wind... That sounds like..." And before he could finish his thought, the ground trembles, and as if coming out of water, Skeletons arise from around him! 

 

 

"Of course, I'd fight skeletons on my way to fighting the Lich!" Red notices that some of the skeletons have armor, others have better weapons, and others still are glowing with an unholy glow. "Very well then, Bring it on!"

 

1. Workout Broken up - I'm finding my workout time being more and more limited, so to compensate for this, I'll do half a workout on one day, and the other half the next day
   1. Workout A: Push-ups, Dips, Leg Raises, Plank - If the Assassin mini can replace one of these then I'll fit it in.
   2. Workout B: Pull-ups, Chin-ups, Leg Raises, Shadowboxing - Note: that all these will have my Ankle/Wrist Weights
2. Clean eating - I'm going to make sure I eat healthier, implementing more salads or fruit, instead of pure meat/pasta.
3. Prayer - I'm going to try to pray a rosary every day. I have planned that this'll be on my commute to/from work, but I need to make sure that it's done everyday.
4. Red X Cosplay - In August will be my very first convention: Nerdcon 2016! And as such, my brothers, nieces, and I want to attempt cosplaying for this exciting event. We've all decided on DC characters and I've chosen to be Red X from Teen Titans, and I'm going to make sure that I finish at least buying all of the components of my costume before this challenge is over.
   1. Already Have: Mask, Cape, Belt
   2. Need: Gloves, Shoes/Boots/ Shirt, Pants
   3. Need to do: Put red X's on Mask, Gloves, Shirt

I know I'm a week late, but believe me, with a constantly changing schedule, along with needing to wake up at 3am, going home completely drained, and over all the randomness of life, I'm forced to face an uphill battle just to even get this down! Luckily, it happened to be my day off and I was able to get something in!

 

Today:

• Did Workout A
  • Push-ups: 15, 15, 15
  • Dips: 15, 15, 15
  • Assassin Mini: 1:33, 2:00, 1:35
  • It felt good to workout again, I haven't even had anything close to a chance to do anything, due to Life pulling me in different directions, if not sucking all of the energy from my body. 
• Didn't pray today
• Ate Lasagna which is one of my favorite dishes, but the only healthy meal I ate was my Sausage, mushroom, and onion with cheese Omelet from the morning.
• For Cosplay, I looked online for the components for my nieces cosplays, one is going to be Damian Wayne (genderbent) and the other is going to be Zatanna (but with more conservative clothing)

3 am wake up-wow that is tough. Glad to see you made it to the challenge. Looks like a solid challenge plan. The cosplay sounds fun.

Saturday:

• Workout A:
  • Pushups: 15, 15, 15
  • Dips: 15, 15, 15,
  • Mini: 2:05, 1:46, 1:42
• The day has just started, so I'm going to focus on eating clean
• Will pray today

Friday:

• Workout B:
  • Pull-ups: 5, 3
  • Chin-ups: 6, 4
  • Lunges: 15, 15, 15, 15
  • Shadowboxing: 2 rounds of 1 min weighted, 1:30 round without weights
• Prayed on the commute
• Ate Asparagus with my lunch, but had pizza at night

Thursday:

• I prayed on my commute,
• had Steak, with cheezy beans and salad

 

So I'm finding that the splitting of the workout is easier to manage, since time is always against me, something small and compact really helps out. Praying isn't so hard, except I'm finding myself focusing more on the road than reflecting on what I'm praying. Eating is great! I just have to remember to make my plate more colorful and I'm usually set. My brother (who's going to cosplay as the Red Hood) got his mask and jacket and he's excited about it. I'm going to order the next piece in my cosplay, Gray wraps and gloves.

Thanks Wolf-brother-Shark! I'm glad to see you gracing my thread again

So here's what's going on lately:

 

My sister, her husband and kids have gone on a 3 week trip from CA to CO to IL to NY and back! So I'm in charge/volunteered to help watch their dogs, and one dog needs/loves to sleep with someone, (unfortunately, for me, he's a great guard dog and ANY noise provokes him into starting to bark, ergo, my sleep is shot). Due to lack of sleep/rest, my energy levels have been low as of late, and as such time as either: 1) I get used to him sleeping with me, or 2) he learns not to be ultra paranoid about everything at night, my exercising has taken a bit of a rest for now, as I'm too tired to attempt anything.

 

In terms of goal-wise:

• I had a Workout B done Wednesday
  • Pull-ups: 5, 5
  • Chin-ups: 6, 3
  • Lunges: 15, 15, 15, 15
  • Shadowboxing: 1 min - Arms, 1 min - Kicks/knees, 1:30 min - No weights
• My eating has not been affected in the slightest, as my lunches have gotten a lot more colorful
• Prayers are still being prayed, except I keep forgetting the last prayer so I kinda wind up making up my own
• I've found how I'm going to do Red X's gray gloves/armbands, and I'll be ordering them next paycheck!

Great job on your goals!

Ha ha ha, Even if I don't have a challenge up, you know I'll always be around to watch you kick tremendous butt, that's why we're brothers!

 

Challenge End!

 

YAY! I finally put a conclusion to a challenge! It's been a while-- err I mean *AHEM*

 

1. Workout Broken up - I find that breaking up the workout helps with the time constraint, but again, consistency eludes me, sometimes dog-sitting sucks the energy right out of me, and I've no energy to workout, so I put it all in preparing for work. 
2. Clean eating - With a few hiccups here and there, I've managed to actually successfully complete this goal! \o/
3. Prayer - On my days off, I've found little time to myself to really focus on my prayer, but on the days that I have prayed (which was 90% of the time) I feel so much better afterwards! \o/
4. Red X Cosplay - So the only thing I've bought for myself was gloves and wrap to mimic the armbands of Red X, but they didn't match, so I'm going to stick with the wraps and find another way to wrap my fingers. Also I have started buying my niece's cosplay, she wants to be Damian, Son of Batman, except, you know... Rule 63 Damian
   1. Already Have: Mask, Cape, Belt, Wraps
   2. Need: Shoes/Boots, Shirt, Pants
   3. Need to do: Paint X's on everything

[Red1263]

I'll have a new challenge up soon, so for now 0 week, consisted of

• A late night walk playing Pokemon GO with my Brother Blue
• A Morning workout:
  • Weighted Pull-ups: 4, 5
  • Weighted Chin-ups: 5, 5
  • Leg Raises: 15, 15, 15
  • Shadow Boxing: 1:15 - Punch Combos only; 1:11 - Kicks, Knees only
  • Decline Push-ups: 15, 15, 10

Glad to hear it went well.
