Calling all scribblers and scrawlers! Inktober starts next week. I'm not much for drawing, but I've been having so much fun with the West Marches writing quest this week (thanks @Sovalis and @DarK_RaideR!) that I think I will be using them as writing prompts. (Will it be all limericks? Maybe not, but yes, quite possibly it will be all limericks.) Are people interested in forming an Inktober Adventuring Party over in the PvP section?

@Snarkyfishguts Today's Adventuring Limerick is for our vigilant bear companion, Ursina:   Gentle in peace time but fierce when at war With her lightning swift sword and her terrible roar. We shall fear no attacks For our bear has our backs. Who could ask for anything more?

I have absolutely no idea, but now I'm very intrigued by it.

Before I forget:   Weekly weigh-in   Weight: 92.5 kg (+0.15) Body fat: 22.2 % (+0.9)       And I think I'm going to introduce the kids to the female-fronted metal band Exit Eden. Mainly to see their heads explode when they recognise the song and try to process that info... 😅   Exit Eden - Impossible (Shontelle cover)

Start weight: 92.0 kg / 202.8 lbs 06/09: 93.5 kg / 206.1 lbs 13/09: 92.35 kg / 203.6 lbs 27/09: 92.5 kg / 203.9 lbs (+0.15 / +0.3)   Meh. Acceptable.

Late to the party, but here now (which is what counts). still struggling with the recovery from a very nasty sprained ankle, so this is more a watching i dont snack exercise for me.    hopefully will help keep me on track (at least with the regular weighing) in the lead up to xmas.    we just had a house guest for 2 weeks and i managed to out on 3pounds what with eating out and not being able to exercise as much as normal. So frustrating

Thank goodness, because it was painful to type that!

So apparently my turn around for these forums is about every three years 😅   But I'm back because I wanted to find my old stats, take a look at what I used to be working on, and celebrate this win - I went to the gym yesterday! Went with a housemate, for a learn to lift class, and the way I got home buzzing. I forgot how much I liked the fact that I'm strong.   I also got a pull up bar for my door bout a month ago, and I'm already at a 7sec deadhang - I think I could go longer but my grip  strength is what needs work.   So, current stats: Weight: 110kg, 242.5lbs Height: 169cm Waist: 118cm, 46.5" Hip: 122cm, 48" Chest: 131cm, 51.5" Thigh: 69cm, 27" Upper Arm: 38.5cm, 15"   Current habit goals: 1) Hit the gym twice a week. I can come home straight away if I want. 2) Snack on carrots in the afternoon daily. 3) Phone off by midnight.   Other goals, complete by the end of October: 1) Go to that kung fu place once. 2) Get at least one driving lesson. I'll probably have to delay my test again, but I want two hours to get comfy. 3) Get a credit card. I want to start thinking about being good for a mortgage.   Other goals, complete by the end of the year: 1) Get the pay rise, or have a new job. 2) Be able to do a single pull-up or push-up. 3) Tell Jay I'm interested. Practice a harness tie.   Other goals, complete by the start of next September: 1) Pass my driving test. 2) Be in a new house. Either w/ the housemates or buy my own. 3) Complete the Riven System mechanics (ttrpg I'm developing).
