Respawned back to RWBY

[Lilmissbri]

So, I completely failed a couple months ago. Ha! Therefore, a respawn is in order and I'm going back to my roots. I made my past challenges way too difficult and I ended up getting upset, overwhelmed, and just stopped everything. YouTube Binging was my poison. Still is! I'm going to make this challenge easy, measurable, and feel great about it! Haha.

PLUS! If you haven't seen RWBY, I highly recommend it! Watch it here RooterTeeth.com. It's in his 4th season which just began a couple days ago. Yay!! RWBY HYPE.

Weiss Schnee / Discipline -

Organized and created the challenge. Made a schedule that I want to follow everyday. Created goals that I want to accomplish this week

    Week One Goals:

    At least 9 auditions

    Time how long the process takes (finding roles, recording, editing, sending)

    Meal Plan and Grocery shop for the week

    Update the numbers and see what I am spending each week on food

 

Lie Ren / Nutrition -

Did a meal plan with loads of veggie/fruit snacks. Each dinner has a veggie side or includes veggies. Today I had a fruit smoothie and some chicken pot pie soup. Tonight will be spaghetti and have some broccoli as a side.

 

Ruby Rose / Trophy Huntress -

Played some Overwatch to get some loot boxes and then continued on to Rocket League. I’m far away from the trophy I want, but playing everyday will help.

Following along for support! Plus, I enjoy playing Overwatch (when the baby lets me, these days).

Following along. You got this!!!

I freaking LOVE Overwatch. I just recently got the Witch Mercy skin and just about lost my mind. XD

I am sooo jealous!

 

I don't play enough that I'm likely going to get enough credits to get Pharah's skin, and the one themed victory pose I've gotten so far was Symmetra's. (I died from laughter seeing her in the grave.)

Oh I know! All the grave victory poses were great and super smart on Blizzard's behalf. I lucked out, I recently got to level 100 so when the event started I was around 105. Therefore, I leveled up super quick and was able to get a ton of Loot Boxes. So I have a LOT of Halloween Items. But what comes around goes around, cause when Christmas comes around, I'll be higher and get less loot boxes! Noooooo!

Pyrrha Nikos / Spiritual - 

I’ve really been struggling with this recently. Not sure why I’m talking about super personal items on the internet but…. There's something about being anonymous that you can kinda say anything. Right?

 

I’ve just been lost lately. I have never been in a routine to read the Bible, going to Sunday church was ingrained as I was growing up, and I’m just so lazy. I want to go more in person but then Sunday comes along and I just wanna sleep till 9.

 

Well, regardless, today I prayed/talked to God. I’m struggling with my career and I can’t figure out what the right move is. My husband pays for everything while I’m trying to get my Voice Acting career off the ground. Which isn’t a quick turnaround. I’m paying for classes, demos, driving an hour and a half each way… My engagement ring broke, we recently paid for new tires on my car, etc. I feel terrible that he’s literally paying for everything right now. He consistently tells me that he’s okay with it cause I’m going for my dream job. But it’s really hard. I have in interview for a retail store. I’m pretty confident I can get the job, but I’m worried I won’t put in the effort for my VO career if I do get it.

 

So.....

 

Yang Xiao Long / Confidence - 

I worked out today! Yay! For the warm up, I decided to go outside and jumprope/jog around my apt complex. Then, I lost my apt. keys which was terrifying, but I found them. 

I did the Beginners Bodyweight Workout one time through. Just going slow and working up. I’m already getting that lovely sore feeling in my legs.

 

Juane Arc / Perseverance - 

I attended a Webinar today for my VO career. It was interesting. Picked up a few things, but most of the items I already knew. Oh well, I guess that just shows progress of where I was and where I am now!

 

Lie Ren / Nutrition - 

       Lunch: Banana! And...

    Dinner: Leftover spaghetti and salad.

 

Blake Belladona / Read - 

I was so done with my Book Club book. I was literally not looking forward to reading. So I decided to start re-reading a book that I love. I saw it on the shelf and thought, “Yeah, I wanna read that again.”

 

 

Nora Valkyrie / Determination -

Even though all day I just wanted to play Overwatch, after the Webinar I buckled down and completed 8 auditions today. WOOT!

 

Weiss Schnee / Discipline - 

It takes about 3 hours from finding an audition to it being sent. I learned I have to be faster though, cause I lost out on 2 jobs that just closed before I could even send!

Week One Goals:

    At least 9 auditions

    Time how long the process takes (finding roles, recording, editing, sending)

    Meal Plan and Grocery shop for the week

    Update the numbers and see what I am spending each week on food

 

Ruby Rose / Trophy Huntress - 

Going to play some Overwatch before I have to stream and then end the day with some Rocket League.

Pyrrha Nikos / Spiritual - 

Talked for a bit, stared into space for a while. Felt good.

 

Nora Valkyrie / Determination - 

Internet surfed for a bit longer than I would like, (12 minutes) but then started updating Nerd Fitness which inspires me to complete my challenges! 

 

Juane Arc / Perseverance - 

With my 8 auditions yesterday, I got one “Like”! Success!

No, not a paying gig but it’s a step forward from just listening or worse, not listening at all to my submission. Also, today I did 10 more auditions.

 

Lie Ren / Nutrition - 

Lunch: PB+J and a green smoothie (banana, ice, milk, peach yogurt, almonds, baby spinach, lettuce, celery)

Dinner: Leftover Spaghetti and a salad… again.

 

Blake Belladona / Read - 

Read for about an hour. This book still makes me laugh. I forgot how somewhat whiny the main character is though. Haha.

 

Weiss Schnee / Discipline - 

Though I’m posting today, I did have this done yesterday. Haha.

    At least 9 auditions

Ruby Rose / Trophy Huntress - 

Yesterday, I was unable to play Rocket League. Today I played for 30 minutes. AKA like 3 games. haha. Oh well, still moving towards that Trophy.

Nora Valkyrie / Determination - 

Today is a somewhat fail as Fridays are always a bit odd for me. I have the interview, acting class, and preparing for both is nerve wracking. So no workout today. Probably tomorrow. 

 

Pyrrha Nikos / Spiritual - 

Prayed for the interview. Still not sure what to do with my life, but prayed for guidance and help with the interview itself. I’m not the best at interviewing. Talking myself up is NOT a strong suit at all. I find the whole process rather overwhelming and the feeling of wanting to cry springs up.

 

Well. The interview happened.

 

I hate interviews. 

 

I’m always taken off guard and don’t know how to answer any of the questions. I think I’m doing fine while I’m there. Then when I’m leaving, I think of a thousand ways to better answer the questions they did ask. 

 

Juane Arc / Perseverance - 

Had my acting class today which is practically therapy. Haha. It was nice.

 

Blake Belladona / Read - 

Read in-between all the waiting periods. Definitely got that half hour squashed.

 

Lie Ren / Nutrition - 

    Lunch: Soup (with potatoes, broccoli, chicken, and cheese) and grapes! Annnnd some wallowing food. (Indulgent Trail Mix)

    Dinner: Cheese Quesadilla and…. no veggie. Sorry! It was 10:35pm. I gotta plan Friday with like a crockpot recipe in the future.

SO all in all, haven't been doing so hot. Didn't workout Monday, been eating a lot of candy for Halloween, playing Overwatch all day er'ry day, and not progressing in other areas. Hoping that reading some posts here will energize me to work, but honestly I feeling so lazy. Just gotta push through. Somehow.

I really like the "Throne Of Glass" series from Sarah J Maas. So far 6 books: Partly inspired by Cinderella, the story follows the journey of Celaena Sardothien, a teenage assassin in a corrupted kingdom with a tyrannical ruler. As the tale progresses, Celaena forms unexpected bonds, and uncovers a conspiracy amidst her adventures.

So..yeah i recommend this series. A little tip if you start reading these books start with "The Assassin's Blade" its the prequel book.

Oh yeah! I'm actually on the third one now. Hahah. Taking breaks cause of the book club I'm in. I enjoy it! A little slow in parts but overall quite entertaining.

I like to do certain goals/things at certain moments during the day. An example: I wake up in the morning and prepare a cup of coffee, during this i go in squat/squat sitting position to wake up my legs. When my cup of coffee is done i read 20-30 minutes -> breakfast -> washing up, go to work. The moment i come home i do my workout and before i prepare to go to bed i clean up and train the handstand for 5 minutes. 
 

So perhaps doing a goal at a certain moment will help, this first week it will take some time to get into the rhythm but perhaps week 2 or 3 it natural. 
If I myself would plan my day with your goals i would:

- Read in the morning before breakfast
- Pray before bed.

Yes, I should do this. I have Habitica where it literally penalizes a character if I don't do my daily tasks. But I still just wanna play Overwatch all day. Haha

Thank you! I will definitely implement some of these. I love the squats while waiting for the coffee machine. For sure. 

 

Thank you.

For me its something about writing it all down, in detail, & in order. Idk. I've got Habitica too, though, haha. It only helps me if I'm in a party, cus then I'm hurting my friends if I don't stay on task. ... Wanna be in a party with me? Lol
