darkfoxx Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine. I'll quit being a slacker, and actually *do* a challenge. This hype train ain't gonna build and run itself, now, is it? This is step 1 in a multi-part challenge where I: brace for impact but hurry up and wait, (temporarily) lose my DH, jettison 99% of the shit I own, pack my dog and myself up and move halfway across the globe, reunite with DH, and adjust to a whooooooooooole other level of "new normal". I thought this last year was a kick in the butt? Well, I haven't seen anything yet. This first part of the challenge *should* see me through about half of this journey - the DH is scheduled to bounce at the end of this month, and I'll be following shortly after on a grand tour of sorts to see a few people I need to see before relocating my start map. That is, providing this shit actually happens this time and we're not forced to reconsider all of life reeeeaaaaaal quick. Again. It should also see the return of some of my favorite Nerds to the boards, and an inevitable revving up of the hype train. So maybe I'll actually get off my ass and *do* something. Like, I dunno: Work Out, behave my belly, aim in a direction, post more than once a day while half asleep. Goals Since I'm still in a holding pattern as of this morning (I'm actually in an airport on my way back from a fantastic Nerd wedding weekend where I got to see some of my favorite Internet peeps + recharge my social batteries a bit), waiting to see if the last of the DH's paperwork clears and his timeline stays the same, I'm aiming to start small. Goal The First Macros, yo. If I'm not Bucket listing it or at an event with Chef friends, I need to eat what I need to be eating to not feel like utter shit. That includes a mostly-paleo diet following the following macros: 70g protein 70g or under carbs 100g or under fats Now, given my current life circumstances (namely, the best damn brunch game in town run by a friend in my freaking building), a little leeway for fresh English muffins on the benny and chilaquiles is permitted on weekends. Goal The Second Print, codify, collate, and color-coordinate as much moving-plan-wise as possible. Book as much travel as I'm able. Adult things like the dog shots & my vaccinations. Also, film a weekly update for YouTube. And, plan when and how to get rid of my shit - plan the "house cooling" party. Get bins for and pack the shit we're storing with friends. Spend as much time as possible with local friends. Pull the trigger on the Amazon shopping list for travel essentials & clothing basics. Detail aaaaaaaalll this minutia for y'all. Goal The Third I've noticed over the past month or two that the arch on my left foot (my garbage fire side) has started collapsing. At the Walking Store, the foot scan they did showed a false high arch because I tend to stand with weight on the outsides of my foot - which is something I've noticed and tried to remain cognizant of since childhood - and is super totally why that side of my body is jacked up and that ankle rolls if you look at it funny. Duh. I need to work on this. I've found a couple rehab routines that take zero space and almost no time - I need to do them. Daily. Or as close to daily as I can remember to do. My side-eye peeps, go ahead and rev those peepers up. I'd throw in a lofty yoga goal here too, but that's probably not realistically going to happen while my tiny-ass apartment is in chaos and I'm running around like a damn chicken with its head cut off. Goal The Fourth Stay Calm And Support My Nerds Some of the more bananas Rangers *@Raxie* *cough* *@Wolfie* *cough* and I were missing the hype of the Ranger Board Of Old and feel it's time for a resurgence of the hype train. #allthethings is missed, y'all, as is hitting the gas for the sake of hitting the gas. Even though my little corner of the universe is upending itself (again), Imma do my part and throw myself at that shit wherever possible. I'm returning to the minis, answering call-outs, and generally planning on supporting my Herd wherever possible - be that through numbers in a game, exposition, or simply more engaged commenting -- I'll be here with a big bottle of Hype. And some gifs. Even if finding said gifs sux0rs on Tapatalk. 12 Quote Level 87 Wood Elf Druid Druid: || 59 | 60 | 61 | 61.5 | 62 | 63 | 64 | 65 | 66 | 67 | 68 | 69 | 70 | 71 | 72 | 73 | 74 | 75 | 76 | 77 | 78 | 79 | 80 | 81 | 82 | 83 | 84 | 85 | 86 | 87 || Ranger: || 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 | 25 | 26 | 27 | 28 | 29 | 30 | 31 | 32 | 33 | 34 | 35 | 36 | 37 | 38 | 39 | 40 | 41 | 42 | 43 | 44 | 45 | 46 | 47 | 48 | 49 | 50 | 51 | 52 | 53 | 54 | 55 | 56 | 57 | 58 || ||Char/RPG|| STR: 57 || DEX: 59 || STA: 52 || CON: 47 || WIS: 59 || CHA: 59 Link to comment
darkfoxx Posted July 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 This week's Mini includes a strong start - since I won't be able to ace my goals this week given yesterday was a travel day and not only did a pulled pork burrito with hashed browns happen for breakfast, but a lot of other crap happened throughout the day. Plus, I slept a bunch when I got home - so no attempt at rehab made. Pluuuuuuuus ... it looks like there may be a slight hiccup with the health paperwork - DH's cholesterol is a little high - we're schedule a re-test for this week and waiting to see what that does to the timeline/likelihood that this shit is happening. So, last night was a stress-fueled load of crap. Lots of deep breaths were had. Challenge starts in earnest today - despite my breakfast being garbage, since i have little food up in this mofo. 5 Quote Level 87 Wood Elf Druid Druid: || 59 | 60 | 61 | 61.5 | 62 | 63 | 64 | 65 | 66 | 67 | 68 | 69 | 70 | 71 | 72 | 73 | 74 | 75 | 76 | 77 | 78 | 79 | 80 | 81 | 82 | 83 | 84 | 85 | 86 | 87 || Ranger: || 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 | 25 | 26 | 27 | 28 | 29 | 30 | 31 | 32 | 33 | 34 | 35 | 36 | 37 | 38 | 39 | 40 | 41 | 42 | 43 | 44 | 45 | 46 | 47 | 48 | 49 | 50 | 51 | 52 | 53 | 54 | 55 | 56 | 57 | 58 || ||Char/RPG|| STR: 57 || DEX: 59 || STA: 52 || CON: 47 || WIS: 59 || CHA: 59 Link to comment

Goal 4: Stay Calm & Support My Nerds Have I supported my Nerds with more than just a read and a thumbs up today? Yeeeeeep. Followed a buuuuuuuunch of Nerds and spent a good chunk of time on the boards - which is good, because otherwise I'd be dwelling on shit I can't control. Other Shit That Doesn't Fit In A Goal Cleaned the kitchen a bit, because my house looks like a hot mess garbage pile. Also got contacted by the last company I interviewed with --- they want to schedule an in-person interview, which I'm totally going to since things are once more uncertain re: moving. And I also did a metric ton of research today on fixing the DH's cholesterol. And I'm super sick of salads - but lettuce is like all I have in the fridge. 6 Quote Level 87 Wood Elf Druid Druid: || 59 | 60 | 61 | 61.5 | 62 | 63 | 64 | 65 | 66 | 67 | 68 | 69 | 70 | 71 | 72 | 73 | 74 | 75 | 76 | 77 | 78 | 79 | 80 | 81 | 82 | 83 | 84 | 85 | 86 | 87 || Ranger: || 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 | 25 | 26 | 27 | 28 | 29 | 30 | 31 | 32 | 33 | 34 | 35 | 36 | 37 | 38 | 39 | 40 | 41 | 42 | 43 | 44 | 45 | 46 | 47 | 48 | 49 | 50 | 51 | 52 | 53 | 54 | 55 | 56 | 57 | 58 || ||Char/RPG|| STR: 57 || DEX: 59 || STA: 52 || CON: 47 || WIS: 59 || CHA: 59 Link to comment
darkfoxx Posted July 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Yesterday Goal 1: Macros Breakfast: Bold sriracha almonds + golden raisins + coffee with almond milk Lunch: Super late lunch of salmon sushi dinner (6 or 8 piece salmon roll + 8 pieces mixed nigiri sushi + the chefs' amuse bouche + miso soup) + a glass of wine because: stress Dinner: Pig roast in the building put on by Chef Friend - 2-4 bites each of: pulled pork, potato salad that tasted like my childhood, macaroni & cheese, collards, slaw & salad) + a glass of wine ? calories ? of 70g protein ? of 70g carbs ? of 100g fats Didn't track the dinner - was waaaaaaay over on carbs before dinner. Goal 2: Prepare For Takeoff X Print, codify and collate moving checklist X Book travel X Dog shots X My shots X Weekly YouTube update X Plan “house cooling” X Get bins X Pack bins X Buy Amazon list shit X Spend time with local friends Went to the doctor with the DH - he got a prescription for statins, which he started - and we went grocery shopping for an all heart-healthy diet. He skipped the pig roast and had a salad for dinner. We have 2 weeks of this heart healthy protocol, then another blood panel, then a week or so to get the results -- providing those are good, his ship out date is now in the first week of August. Spoke to the boss, and they don't seem to be freaking out - the one he knows told us to slow our roll, anxiety-wise. Slow our roll, we are trying to do. Goal 3: Rehab Dem Arches & Do Some Shit Did I work on rehabbing my arches today for at least 5 minutes? Did I work toward this week’s mini (this week’s mini is all about starting strong - work toward a PR, hit 100% on your goals)? Nooooope. Forgot to rehab today, with all the running around with the DH for the doctor, trying to see if we could walk in anywhere to get another blood test so his 24 hour fast wouldn't have gone to waste (spoiler: you can't in NY; it's illegal), and buying allthethings for him to eat. Also trying to remember how to cook beans, lentils and quinoa. Did not work on the mini. Goal 4: Stay Calm & Support My Nerds Have I supported my Nerds with more than just a read and a thumbs up today? Yup. Spent a chunk of time on the Boards.

darkfoxx Posted July 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Mini update: Since the literatures all call for 30 minutes of light to moderate exercise a day for those wishing to un-jack their cholesterol, we've decided to have family gym time every day. That started today. I did 20 minutes on the treadmill in toe shoes, and guuuuuuuuuuurl. My arch is b-a-r-k-i-n-g. As is the entirety of the outside of my left leg.

Raxie Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 As far as plant based goes LadyBird and Urban Vegan Kitchen are amazeballs and have REALLY healthy options, like you legit can't go wrong with anything on their menu in terms of high fiber and no processed stuff. For not 100% plant based (ie it has the meats) Springbone Kitchen is absolutely wonderful and is also you can't go wrong with anything on their menu in terms of heart healthy type stuffs. Hu Kitchen I've never eaten at but heard rave reviews from some others and I just checked out their menu and kind of want to go there immediately myself. 2 Quote forty-seven: Raxie and the Joining of Unlike Things << previous challenges >> >> instagram || goodreads << Link to comment

Love the challenge and glad you're finding ways of staying distracted! And just letting you know, you bossed it last weekend because I didn't hear ONE...not ONE complaint about your arches all weekend. Maybe it was the super swanky Onitsuka Tiger's??

darkfoxx Posted July 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Yesterday And The Day Before Goal 1: Macros Breakfast: Friday - Peanut butter Perfect Bar & coffee Saturday - 2 hard boiled eggs & coffee with almond milk Lunch: Friday - Big salad of ground beef, greens & hemp hearts Saturday - Took DH to a fast casual vegan spot & had: sesame tofu over mashed root veggies, honey sriracha broccoli & half an avocado with a crazy good vegan cream cheese Dinner: Friday - Baked sweet potato, ground beef & salsa Saturday - Hit up a Japanese cafe with a visiting Nerd for cold bonito & egg soba + more coffee with almond milk Snack: Friday - 1.5 cups raw cherries, 100 calorie pack almonds + walnuts Saturday - Only had the carb budget for 1 cup cherries 1475 calories (F) 906 (S) 95 of 70g protein (F) 39 (S) 95 of 70g carbs (F) 95 (S) 75 of 100g fats (F) 34 (S) Goal 2: Prepare For Takeoff X Print, codify and collate moving checklist X Book travel X Dog shots X My shots X Weekly YouTube update X Plan “house cooling” X Git bins X Pack bins X Buy Amazon list shit X Spend time with local friends YouTube update posted Friday, has NF out with 1 local + 1 not-local Nerd on Saturday. Goal 3: Rehab Dem Arches & Do Some Shit Did I work on rehabbing my arches today for at least 5 minutes? Did I work toward this week’s mini (this week’s mini is all about starting strong - work toward a PR, hit 100% on your goals)? Did 20 minutes on the treadmill in toe shoes Friday, which has exhausted my feet & calves & shins even today (Sunday). Decided it would be a good idea to take my sore lower legs and walk from the Ferry at the tip of Manhattan, most of the way across the island, half the way back across, and up to Bryant Park (42nd St.). I'd say I walked 50? 55 blocks? Totally counting both toward the mini. Goal 4: Stay Calm & Support My Nerds Have I supported my Nerds with more than just a read and a thumbs up today? Friday, yes. Saturday - I was busy walking my ass off and then my phone died while I was out - which of course freaked DH out when he couldn't spot me on Find My Friends. Oops. I totally should have texted from a friends' phone. Bad wife.
