Michi rejoins the Sailor Senshi! Friends help with goals!

[MichiruSedai]

 

It can get pretty lonely and boring for the Princess of Neptune.  While peaceable times are wonderful, there isn't much to do while out at her planet, making sure no threats are coming to threaten the Silver Millennium.  Michiru decided it was time to get herself back in tip top fighting shape, with a little help from her friends, the rest of the Sailor Senshi.

 

 

The pretty soldiers in sailor suits spent a lovely day together, over the course of which they brainstormed goals with Michiru, and promised to help keep her on track.   Each senshi would assist with one objective.

 

SAILOR MOON! Usagi-chan loves her junk food. LOVES IT!  Sometimes her sailor suit gets a bit tight though, so over the years she's learned to dial it back and eat in a more balanced manner.

Goal: Log all food on MFP, do not go below 1200 or above 1700

 

SAILOR MERCURY! Ami-chan is so smart and studious. She is rarely seen without her nose in a book. She will be encouraging Michiru-san to read more.

Goal: Read books five hours per week, divided between the days however works

 

SAILOR MARS! Rei-chan is a Shinto priestess and serves at her grandfather's temple.  She will be helping Michiru-san to get back in touch with her spiritual side.

Goal:Do something spiritual once per week. Can include reading from a book, meditating, or performing a small ritual (New Moon 9/1, Full Moon 9/16

 

SAILOR JUPITER! Mako-chan is such an amazing cook!  She's going to reach Michiur-san a few tricks this month so she can broaden her kitchen repertoire.

Goal: Try three new recipes over the course of the challenge and/or three new foods.

 

SAILOR VENUS! Minako-chan is a social butterfly. She loves singing, games, and so much more. She's going to encourage Michiru-san to have some fun!

Goal: Do something social once a week. Can include: WoW (if grouped), D&D, board game night, Friday Night Magic, group hikes, karaoke nights, etc.

 

SAILOR URANUS!  Haruka is so active and athletic.  She will help Michiru to stay active!

Goal: Do something active every day. Can include: 10k steps, 30 mins walk/hike, 30 mins bike, 30 mins gym

 

SAILOR PLUTO! Setsuna is the Guardian of Time. It just makes sense that she'll help Michiru stay on task with schedules/calendars/all that fun stuff that can get lost in the shuffle of day to day life.

Goal: Stay on top of things like mail/bills/scheduling workouts.

 

SAILOR SATURN! Hotaru-chan has dealt with many health problems and has learned the value of self-care.  She's going to assist Michiru-san in remembering that she cannot take care of others or be a good Guardian Senshi if she isn't taking care of herself.

Goal: Take better care of myself.  Shower more often, brush teeth twice a day, use lotion, etc.

 

 

I'm working on a "points" system to earn money to spend at a concert I'm going to on 9/16, since that's almost the end of the challenge.  I haven't finished this points system yet, and it's stressing me out to try, LOL!  I think instead, if I get 75% success rate across all goals, I'll allow myself to buy some nice souvenirs.

 

Ready, set.... GO!

 

RESULTS!

Moon: Log all food on MFP, do not go below 1200 or above 1700

When someone who knows jack all about fitness tries to give you advice that is bad:

 

When bitches are being bitches:

 

when people go into insane detail about macros and calories and log things when you are in the middle of the most amazing meal ever:

 

What our dear Michi really looks like and we all know it:

 

 

How I imagine you doing the dishes:

 

how we all feel when the scale goes up a touch, even when it's not a big deal and it goes down the next day, or later that day:

 

 

perfect hair days like whaaaat>!?!?!?!?!

 

 

urge to kill rising...

heheheheh.... oh she'll keep her 'active' alright hahahahahha!!!! ahh the terrible North American censorship of that show was hysterical is how lame it was XD

 

 

[MichiruSedai]

She's such a kind cousin that way, bwahahaha!!

 

But yeah... lots of cardio *waggles eyebrows*

[deftona]

Ooooh this one looks exciting! Following along! 

[MichiruSedai]

Hiya, Deffy!

 

Officially official Friday weigh in: only down 0.4lbs from last week. To be fair, I had to undo the 1.8lbs I gained over the weekend by eating a ton of crap at the fair, but I am still disappointed. I know I need to allow myself to go off plan sometimes and that fluctuations happen, but I'm so close to my next minigoal and I wanted to hit it by now.

 

OK, done whining. I'll hit that goal soon.  

 

I was actually debating giving myself a "cheat evening" tonight because I've been wanting so many bad foods lately. But I am going to do my best to not give in.  I will have my (calorie budgeted for) somewhat unhealthy dinner, but if I want snacks it will be carrots, cucumbers, grapes, and maybe air popped popcorn.

[LordKronos87]

Good goals!

 

You got my support as always  and it looks like you have a great start already. 

 

And yes you will hit that goal soon! Keep up the good work.

 

And remember Tuxedo Kamen is always here

 

[MichiruSedai]

Hit the gym last night instead of being lazy, and went again this morning since my hike got cancelled due to storms.   Woot!!

[MichiruSedai]

I'm going through my clothes since 3/4 or so of them are way too big now. It's a good problem to have,but I'm finding it really hard to toss old favorites into the donate bag.  Silly right?  It's just clothes. I'll find new favorites. Wearing 2XL's looks ridiculous now that I'm in L's so keeping them is silly.  But it's way harder than I expected, so I haz a sad.

[MichiruSedai]

As of this  morning, I have met (and slightly exceeded) 75 lbs lost!  *dances*

P.S. you are awesome.

[MichiruSedai]

Thanks, everybody!  *pulls you all into a giant nerd group hug*

[LordKronos87]

Congrats and good work! :-)

[MichiruSedai]

So, today, @Amdhiel and I took a hike up at Devil's Lake State Park!   We chose our paths and set out. There was one path with lots of climbing that we thought looked a bit hard, so we chose some of the other paths.   Well... the best laid plans.  We took a wrong turn and ended up hiking up the climbing path! It was insane!  Super challenging for me, partly from the exertion, partly from my fear of heights. But I channeled my inner ibex and made it to the top!

 

The view from the top.

 

Us at the top. We made it!!

Amused to have reached 666 at Devil's Lake

[Amdhiel]

Due to your poking today, I have done as you ordered and set up a thread.

[MichiruSedai]

Yay!!

[Altamarie]

Way to go!

This challenge is awesome and that hike sounds fun and challenging. Glad you had an inner Ibex to channel

[LordKronos87]

Now it has officially started! Good luck and keep up the good work!
