PhantomHeart Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 New challenge. New respawn! Recently I started watching Supergirl, and I loved how Wonder Woman was a badass in the Batman vs Superman movie. What do these women have in common? (Besides being superheroes.) They're strong as hell. My butt is also complaining about all the sitting around I've been doing while working on my novel, blogs, and freelance job search. You see I recently changed cities and am looking for new employment, so there's a lot of time spent on the computer. Traditionally I've been a ranger who enjoys both running and lifting, but given the heat this summer (and saving my pale skin the sun exposure) I'm swapping running for yoga. I want to use this 4-week challenge to test out how I feel when lifting without running. So here's my down-and-dirty challenge for the month. How To Be Supergirl Lift every other day Use the Academy Barbell Brigade Level 1 Workouts Record lifts in my Fit Happens journal Start every day with a 20 to 40 minute yoga session 6 days a week Use either NerdFitness Yoga or youtube videos from Yoga with Adriene Check a box in my Fit Happens journal Track my food intake using MyFitnessPal daily Check a box in my Fit Happens journal Life Quest: Send out my novel to beta readers by the end of the month. This means the novel has to actually be ready for beta readers! I'm not going to hold myself to anything like "write 2000 words every day" because I'm at the point where there's more going into the writing process than strict word counts. The quest will only be accomplished when I have the finished product. Well, mostly finished. It will still need editing, but it will be so much progress I'll need a week to celebrate. My reward for accomplishing my quest? I'll get myself a purse from Disneyland for my birthday! (I'm girly like that!) Wish me luck! 3 Quote Targaryen Ranger: Level 1Str: 2 Dex: 2 Con: 2 Sta: 3 Cha: 2 Wis: 4"The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them."

NatetheStrong Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Welcome to the warriors! There's nothing like lifting heavy and getting strong! Out of curiosity, what kind of novel are you writing? And what new city have you recently arrived in? 1 Quote Nate the Strong Warforged Paladin Level 8 | STR-33 | DEX-11 | STA-18 | CON-14 | WIS-17 | CHA-14 535/365/610:1510 243/243/166/277:685 'He who conquers himself is mightier than he who conquers a city.''Blessed be the LORD, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle;' Link to comment

I'm just writing it on my own. I've done NaNoWriMo before (it's wonderful, isn't it?), and this is an ongoing project that revolves more around polishing a draft I already have over disciplining myself to write consistently. 16 minutes ago, NatetheStrong said: Welcome to the warriors!

I love being able to move furniture with the big and tall boys during moves! As a little blonde girl it's fun jumping in where no one expects! The novel is high fantasy erotica, and it's the beginning of a platform that will (hopefully) help me make a living writing novels. And I just moved to Fresno. ^.^ Quote Targaryen Ranger: Level 1Str: 2 Dex: 2 Con: 2 Sta: 3 Cha: 2 Wis: 4"The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them."

Jord Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Welcome to the warriors! You can also add me on MFP - veggiejulia - but lately my food choices have been admittedly not stellar. I'm working on that! Quote Jǫrð, Delvian Nomad - Level 12 { Battle Log } Link to comment
Cataleya Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 I love Power Girl and she's sometimes the same person as Supergirl, so I definitely need to follow this! Quote Cataleya Tries to Regain Her Balance Instagram | MyFitnessPal Link to comment
Juni0r83 Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Writing, lifting, eating right, sounds like the challenge I've got planned for myself. I'm in.
