brutalbears Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Brutal Bears Tanks Diablo Intro: So, I have been back for a few challenges now, and I am starting to get in that groove again. I have a lot going on, so time management is always an issue. I work full time, I am doing over time at school, raising two puppies, learning to be a good boyfriend, I am developing a philosophy YouTube channel (www.apollosascension.com), and I am doing Rising Heroes. I am going to try to focus this challenge to just what I need extra support with-because from some reason I think I need to put everything I am working on in my challenge. Something about Blizzard games get me every time, so let’s do a Diablo theme. Also, I am giving PLP another go: I tried it a year or so back, and didn’t make it all the way, so now I am going at it again. Thanks for anyone who joins along! Keep Your Footing -Track meals/calories every day and stay on top of Rising Heroes Keep the Sword and Board Strong -Lift 3x a week and do PLP daily Battle Cry and Pull Aggro -Practice Language Every day and Keep up the Apollo Philosophy daily posts Dodge attacks -Run Twice a Week Keep Threat Up -Support your NF peeps, stay up on here, and try to find time to help on other peoples Reward: Armstrong's Family Tunic Begging Weight: 198.6 Pic: 5 Quote Challenges: R: Winter is Here 20|19|18|17|16|15|14|13|R|12|11|10|9|8|7|6|5|4|3|2|1 “I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.” -John Galt Link to comment

Laghail Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 And is not amused! Beautiful animal though. I can't play WOW for self-control reasons. If I ever did AA, I'd be the one that'd go back to social/moderate substance use after a bit and be fairly functional, but WOW - that'd be like trying to be moderate with my black tar heroin usage.

Lol ya I'm the same way. I'm either playing the game manageably and it is boring and not enjoyable or I love it and it is destroying every aspect of my life. It somehow always gets me back in...I can never stay away for ever. I got like 3.5 years off the last time and they sucked be back in for the launch of legion... Which destroyed me for months. So glad to be wow free... But every time I try a different, more manageable mmo, it makes me crave the real stuff.

brutalbears Posted February 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Already a new challenge. The last one passed so fast for me. What's PLP? It did go super fast, I'm still not sure how I feel about the 4-week challenges. PLP is a 60 day push up, lunge, pullup challenge. Its pretty cool.

brutalbears Posted February 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Monday: it was super nice so I went on a several walks that probably added up to 1.5-2 hours, I lifted so hard I got dizzy (it was awesome), and killed my calorie goal.
