Silmarilliane's forty-sixth challenge


Recommended Posts

Oh hi! Hope you're all well :)

 

Last challenge as passed, but it was super minimal and now I am potentially half a stone up from where I was (I didn't weigh first thing so will confirm tomorrow) so I really need to get back on track with calorie counting and exercise. I started a new job at the beginning of the month and feel mostly settled. I managed to get covid last week so have been going a bit insane in the house by myself, but have had some video chats with people and focusing on getting better for the singing competition I have this weekend(!)

So this challenge is going back to my older format of Food Exercise Sleep, so I'm just copying across from challenge 43 and will tweak.

 

 

FOOD

  • Under 1600 calories for the day 🥗 = 10pts
  • Going slightly over for emotional needs 🍫 = 5pts
  • Overeating one meal 🍻 = 0pts
  • Overfooding all day  = -10pts
  • Hydration! 💧 = 5pts

Maximum = 525pts

 

SLEEP

  • Reading and light off at 11pm 📚 = 10pts
  • Light off at 11pm 🛏️ = 5pts
  • Bed after 11pm 💡 = 0pts
  • Scrolling instead of sleep 📲 = -10pts

Maximum = 350pts

 

EXERCISE

  • Morning exercise before work 🏃‍♀️ = 10pts
  • Walk at least 30mins 🚶‍♀️ = 10pts
  • Unspecified other exercise = 5pts
  • Daily Darebee 🐝 = 5pts

Maximum indefinite but should be at least 500pts

 

 5pt bonus for brave things or where I feel I deserve it.

 

Maximum ~1500 and as I'm starting recovering from covid, I'll put pass rate at 1000

Scuppery food days:

  • 25-27th Oct: singing convention
  • 2nd Nov: playing the Witcher boardgame and potentially niece's birthday party after
  • 9th Nov: 30th birthday party (check me out knowing young folks)
  • 16-17th Nov: away to watch a concert, will likely affect standard foods
  • 21st Nov: someone's leaving drinks
  • 23rd Nov: might go to a friend's charity curry evening

OK not too bad at the mo, though the first week will be tough with getting better plus going away for singing.

OH! I only went and finished my reread of Wheel of Time! I looked back in my messages and I started them again (plus the tor.com readalong/commentary) in November 2021, so that's a good solid 3yrs of reading to get through them again!

 

BONUS 🌟 5pts

 

Total = 85pts

Congrats on getting through Wheel of Time! I am lost somewhere in book six or seven. We listen to them as audiobooks when we take road trips which is not an effective means of retaining information for me - trips are too spaced out for me to remember what was going on. 😅

Oh gosh, I hope the covid was short and you're recovered now? Hmmm. I gave up on wheel of time and started reading mistborn instead. It was a good choice but now they're all gone and it only took like a week. That's one thing I can say about wheel of time; there was always more.

There's always the Wax and Wayne series, which takes place in the same world, but in the "future" (relative to the events in Mistborn).

 

Yes, I've started them. I bought them as a package with the mistborn trilogy. I'm not yet quite as hooked, but perhaps I will be.

It really doesn't help when there are a lot of similar names too and one is good and one is evil 😅 When I first read them I had to constantly flick to the back to see which one I was reading about!

Mistborn is on my list to read, though I have a lot in my pile to read and I don't get all that much time to read, so that might be a next year task...

Wheel of time is definitely a slog!

Oo, adding these too thanks (assuming I like Mistborn!)

Ok, I'm away at the singing competition weekend so not doing amazingly with the challenge - will do a full catch up when I'm back but basically, scrolled unnecessarily the first night I was here, late to bed last night and food hasn't been awful but hasn't been great. I've got a decent amount of walking in but that's it on the exercise front. I'm just in a cafe waiting for our chorus rehearsal so will try to catch up on some other forum posts! 

Oh, my quartet sang yesterday and a lil bonus for myself:

One for the bucket list - sing on stage commando ;)
