Elastigirl Posted September 4 Report Share Posted September 4 It's been very quiet and peaceful in Metropolis for the last years. The villains all seem to know that this is where the Incredibles live, and so they have stayed clear. Elastigirl had continued preparing herself against possible villains who want to attack their town. But, in peaceful times, it's easy to let yourself slack off a bit, and Elastigirl has let herself fall into that trap. One quiet summer evening, while Elastigirl and Mr. Incredible where out for a walk, they thought they had distant rumbling, and then a scream. Running toward the noise, they saw building sbeing smashed, cars being thrown, and people fleeing in terror. It didn't take them long to see what was causing the terror. Looking up, they saw a giant lizard, who was throwing the building and cars as if they were toys. They knew instantly it was the dreaded monster, Godzilla. They knew they had never faced a fiercer foe, But, it was their duty to protect the city, so without a second thought, they began the battle to save their city. I've been a bit meh about challenges lately. I love working out, but staying on task with food and not giving in to my natural lazy tendencies is my weakness. I decided I needed a boss battle. Instead of SMART goals, I decided to go with SMT( @Harriet termed it that and I liked it) meaning my goals are specific, measurable, NOT reasonable or Attainable. I have been picking goals lately that I felt like I could attain, which has it's benefits, but the drawback is, I haven't really pushed myself . So this time, I'm going the opposite way. I'm going to be super tough on myself, and do goals that I will really struggle with, and even most likely fail. And maybe I'll learn something in the process. Or be eaten by Godzilla? I'm going to work on a point system, but I figured I'd start out with this and add to it. Hitting him with the Giant Water Canon of Destruction: Drinking 80 oz of liquid (water, tea, all drink except alcohol) a day. Monday - Friday. For someone who struggles with getting 60 oz, this is a big step 250 points each week I hit goal at least 4 days. 50 bonus points for all 5 days (total 300) 2 or less days = -50 to my score The Surprise Element- Morning routine done and ready to walk or workout at 9:00 during the week- give myself 10 minutes of grace 250 points for hitting goal 4 days. 50 bonus points for 5th day 2 or less days =-50 to my score Hitting him hard- I'm going to choose a big strength goal here- decide goal Monday after workout Squat 60 lbs(30 in each hand) for 3 x 4 100% of goal 200 points 80% of goal 180 Bonus Hits Track food 3 x a week 200points Track food 2 x a week 100 points Track food 1 nothing 0 times a week: reduce my total hit points by 100 Scoring less than 1,500 :Metropolis is destroyed:Godzilla wins 1,500- 1,999 Godzilla is still fighting. The Incredibles have done some damage, but Godzilla barely notices 2,000- 2199 Godzilla is getting wobbly. He has slowed down his rampage. 2,200 -,2,549Godzilla is fading. The Incredibles have managed to slow him down . He is no longer throwing buildings and cars, and seems a bit wobbly on his feet 2,550+ncredibles win. Godzilla flees and will never again return to Metropolis Other stuff I'm working on but not scoring: Tracking calories Eating Skills Bible before screens Bedtime routine Flylady App 13 Quote Wisdom 22.5 Dexterity 13 Charisma 15 Strength 21 Constitution-13 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind' Luke 10; 27 Link to comment

Elastigirl Posted September 11 Author Report Share Posted September 11 Yesterday 80 oz of water yes morning start yes The water was easier than I thought. I haven't been tracking lately, but I think it wasn't as bad as I thought, because getting 80oz wasn't too hard. Today On track for the 80 0z, I'm at 70 oz, and I will have some tea before bed Morning start yes Haven't tracked food.I need to do that at least once if I don't want to get dinged. More if I want bonus, but I don't need the bonus. Today was good. Went on a walk with my friend ,and did some ab exercises. 6 Quote Wisdom 22.5 Dexterity 13 Charisma 15 Strength 21 Constitution-13 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind' Luke 10; 27 Link to comment
