Shello Posted Friday at 05:42 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 05:42 PM Welcome to my challenge. As always, I've set up a Roadmap for what I want to accomplish in 2024. Mine is posted here in my battle log. Every challenge is aimed at accomplishing some part of the roadmap or furthering my adventure towards this year's goals. My plan to finish out the year was to take it easy during last challenge and then kick it into gear for this challenge and ride that until the end of the year. I ended up going hard core chill last challenge so I guess I need to kick it up hard core for this challenge. I am using week zero to reset and wean myself from all the extra snacking, sweets, and just basically eating like a dickhead. It's definitely time for getting back on the rails. FIT AND FABULOUS FALL FRENZY Food: Daily Goals are no longer on autopilot. The only one that stuck was starting the day with water. I need to be diligent about tracking and more importantly, actually doing these. Start the day with water Fast 15 hours Eat freggies. At least 1 a day; 2 is nice, 3 is better. MOST IMPORTANT: Log food daily, preferably with an actual deficit based on my target calories in the Lose it app. It gives me a target around 1550 but I do better keeping it under 1400. I keep their target so I have guilt free wiggle room. Fitness: Threading the needle here to make sure I'm setting the bar high enough but not so high that I get skittish. Cardio - a minimum of 90 minutes of cardio a week. it's crucial to get back in the habit of going out for walks before it gets cold. It's one thin to try and maintain the habit under less than ideal conditions, it's another to start over. Strength - Gym session at least once a week Stretching - Stretch/yoga/mobility at least twice a week. Let the frenzy begin! 6 Quote Race: Amazonian Ogre Princess | Class: Ranger | Profession: SuperHero | Affiliation: Doodlie and Pancake for Life Respawn Challenge Arcs: 2021 | 2022 I am not saying I am Wonder Woman.

Shello Posted 18 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 18 hours ago So glad the site is back up! I've been so shit at updating and just as I am hyped for daily updates the site is down. The horror! Week 0 went as expected. I ate too much, still snacked too much but less than the couple weeks before. I did get 96 minutes of cardio but didn't make it to the gym. I did manage to lose 1 pound. It's a step in the right direction. Yesterday was a good start. I mostly stuck to my meal plan but had noticed previously that the breakfast menu looked tasty. I planned to have a little breakfast from the cafeteria and then made my lunch a little smaller. I went over target calories by around 60 or so. That's really just the margin of error so not a big deal. I am using all allowed calories when ideally I stay a couple hundred under target for optimal success but it is still a win. We planned for a walk but it just started to rain as I got home from work and class so we skipped it. I was feeling off all day anyway - easily overwhelmed, physically felt stress symptoms - so I opted for watching some trash TV in a hot sudsy bath. I skipped a drink since symptoms are sometimes associated with migraine pro-drome I figured it was best to skip it. And no migraine today either. 4 Quote Race: Amazonian Ogre Princess | Class: Ranger | Profession: SuperHero | Affiliation: Doodlie and Pancake for Life Respawn Challenge Arcs: 2021 | 2022 I am not saying I am Wonder Woman.
