The Borg Queen Posted April 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 *** Updated goals to push-up 3 days per week instead of 5. Also downloaded the 100 pushup challenge... Yeah right!! But I did do 12 today. Never say never. Also had a minor success... dragged out the old convention outfit yesterday, that I haven't worn since December. I clearly remember it being tight back then, but yesterday my pants were falling down a bit! Lucky thing I wore my good undies. 2 Quote Class and Profession: Level 23 Borg Queen Link to comment
Terinatum Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Hey Prime. Love the list of to-do's. I just saw NGnome's as well and you two have me jazzed about getting the nitty-gritty details down on paper! Good luck!

The Borg Queen Posted May 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Week 1 1. Activity Attend yoga class once a week-Done! 1/4 Do push-ups 3 days per week- Got through the first 2 days of 100 pushup training. Had to repeat on of the days twice! 3/ 12 Run 25 miles per week- Missed my long run yesterday (but made it today). 18.5/100 Speed work every Tuesday- Didn't do it. Was feeling puckered! 0/4 Trail Running-Didn't make it this week. 0/4 2. Eat Paleo diet- Made it every day except Friday. 6/28 (on break from MFP) 3. Relax Meditate 5 x 10 minutes per week-Done. 5/20 Acupuncture 2 x per week- Done! 2/8 Take herbs at least 2x per day- Saying fuck it to the herbs. Made it to day 3, and they really hurt my stomach. Yucko. /28 Sauna- None yet. 0/2 4. Learn Learn Japanese- Watch 2 Japanese films or TV shows per week- Watched the Japanese version of "Terrace House," which was really bizarre (but I'm sure American version is weird too). Also watched a short show called "Midnight Diner," really really cute and I recommend it. 2/8 Make a list of 20 Japanese vocabulary words, and memorize it. Formulating the list- packing it with ingratiating phrases. I do want them to like me. (in progress) /1 Read "Purple Cow"- 0/1 Read "Contagious" - 0/1 Quote Class and Profession: Level 23 Borg Queen Link to comment
The Borg Queen Posted May 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Headed out of town this weekend, so I'm going to try to get everything done in 6 days. It's going to be a big whirlwind of running, reading, and acupuncture needles. Quote Class and Profession: Level 23 Borg Queen Link to comment
Fuji_fox Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Sounds like a pretty good week! Running, reading, and acupuncture needles seems like a dangerous combination though (^_-) My first year in Japan, I used these two words multiple times a day (still do, actually) and I think they're the most versatile words in the whole language: Sumimasen - excuse me/sorry, but also used as 'thank you' when someone does something nice for you like hold a door open. Only Japan would apologize as a way of saying thanks, lol. Daijoubu - (I'm/ It's) alright, or "I don't need ____" Sooo many different ways to use this one. Hope you have a great week! 1 Quote Link to comment

The Borg Queen Posted May 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Last night-- replaced running with squats and sit-ups, cause it was drizzling... My least favorite running weather. I've been fighting with an intern! It's my job to edit/approve social media posts, and when I make suggestions he goes crazy and rejects them! They are simple, good edits, like tag the client whose work you're referencing, or use the industry tag everyone else is using. I wouldn't be bitter about this except my boss, his supervisor, strangely isn't stepping in to make him follow my easy good advice! So the intern is basically posting like crazy online, completely unsupervised. My version of fighting, again, has been giving advice and quietly insisting on it. Tag the client. Oh, it's too late? No? Then tag the client. Yeah, I had to give up on that one. It still clearly bugs me, which is why it's in my challenge thread! So working on getting over that.

The Borg Queen Posted May 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 Having a pretty good week. Sticking to my new goals. On track for acupuncture, mileage, meditation, and push-up goal. Diet has been decent. I am on a "feel good" streak. Destroyed another pair of running tight yesterday with some rough and tumble running. I go through so many running tights, it's sick. RIP, beautiful tights. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk 2 Quote Class and Profession: Level 23 Borg Queen Link to comment
