WingedBeastie Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 This is going to be my permanent thread for all things good!So far, three little victories - but important ones.Victory 1: Exercise.Anyone who payed attention to anime over the last year knows about One Punch Man and by extension Saitama. His regimen of 100 squat/push ups/sit-ups and 10k EVERY DAY is what seems to have given him enough strength to defeat any foe with a single punch as well as withstand a lot of stuff that could be charitably described as ' HAX Bullshit'.100 of anything is daunting, but I realized that I can do 10 of anything.So I've been doing a TEN PUNCH MAN exercise set which is 10 sit-ups/squats/wall push-ups and 1 k(or about 1/2 a mile) daily.I've got a full week under my belt and yesterday I upped the sit-ups to 15!TEN PUUUUUUUUNNNNNCHVictory 2: DietI moved just recently and in the nearly two weeks I've been settling in, I've discovered that my way to and from work gives me far less opportunity to get junk food or soda.In fact I haven't had soda in all that time. Also I've been taking two camelback bottles to work with me, which is 45 more ounces of water than I used to get.Keeping the momentum moving, I'm researching recipes for the impending snowstorm this weekend. I have a love for really heavy, meaty, fatty things and I have terrible cravings for them in the winter because I hate the cold. I sense a lot of sweet potatoes in my future. 2 Quote Race: Qunari Profession: Rebel Level: 1STR 1 | DEX 1 |STA 1 | CON 2 | WIS 2 | CHA 3 Link to comment
Slayer Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 I love that workout idea! What a fun way to start a new routine! I find soups and crock pot recipes are a good way to get get cold weather comfort food without eating everything in sight (because I, too, suffer from this problem). There's an amazing paleo sweet potato shepherd's pie. So good! Quote Slayer Druid "Welcome to the Hellmouth."

Meanderthal Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 I like that workout goal a lot. I may do something similar.That recipe looks amazing! Totally trying it! Quote Battle Log | Fitness Progress Logs | Food Log Link to comment
WingedBeastie Posted January 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 On January 11th, I was at 287 and the heaviest I've ever been.It is January 25th.I weigh 275.2 as of yesterday night. Now, that's likely gonna skew because of impending Shark Week but still! Nothing to sniff at. Quote Race: Qunari Profession: Rebel Level: 1STR 1 | DEX 1 |STA 1 | CON 2 | WIS 2 | CHA 3 Link to comment
WingedBeastie Posted February 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Preemptive woot. Going to have the money conversation with fiancé.I've avoided it like the plague because money in a relationship makes me nervous ( mom was basically a selfish asshole and it colored a lot of what I learned of things Quote Race: Qunari Profession: Rebel Level: 1STR 1 | DEX 1 |STA 1 | CON 2 | WIS 2 | CHA 3 Link to comment
