Infinity.Creates Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Lotzo here! Young, unfit, and fearless on this attempt to kickstart my future. I want to be able to travel the world, to trust and feel confident in my own body. I want to be able to climb mountains without heaving and huffing. I want to push myself in diet and exercise. I want to become stronger and better and face challenges. I'm currently balancing school and work and fitness and diet, which is honestly quite difficult. It doesn't help that I'm also balancing depression, anxiety, and ADD. Hopefully NF is going to give me the motivation and discipline to get myself into fitness. I've already being doing a ParkRun (5k) every week, been writing a diary since January, and have a beautifully organised set of bookcases. However, last years school scores were utterly terrible and I need to get my academic act up. I also want to gain enough strength to run a 10k obstacle course (WolfRun) in April, and loose enough weight to comfortably do week hikes in next October. My battle log will keep track of my stats, my challenges, and anything else I feel is important. But this is it for now, So, there may be more, but for now, conquer yourself and make physics itself obey you! ~Lotzo 1 Quote they / them | half-orc paladin ( oath of the watcher ) -- lv 0 Challenge 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 ~ Battle Log ~ Epic Quest Link to comment

Infinity.Creates Posted September 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Challenge One : Lotzo stepped out the front door of her home, quietly closing it behind her as the morning birds began their songs. She bent down to lace her trainers ( hiking boots / elven slippers / winged sandals / barefoot / gnomish boots ), then straighten, stretching up to the sky. Her music was plugged in and an appropriately upbeat tune started in her ears. Jump on the spot, stretch the legs, and then Lotzo began to run down the road (through the forest, on the beach, over the hills). Hi, I'm Lotzo, starting off my journey with NF and experimenting with the different kind of challenges. I did read the website a while ago and start implementing the habit techniques into my life, but I figured some accountability could only be helpful. I want to become strong and able to trust in my own body. I struggle slightly with climbing mountains - despite it being a love - due to the difficulty of climbing the steep peaks, and not trusting myself to jump over the streams or even get up. Your worst enemy is always yourself.

Infinity.Creates Posted September 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Quest 1 : Diet Have a daily Paleo breakfast. I had been regularly drinking a banana smoothie for breakfast, but then the summer holidays it kind of dissapeared. Now I don't have any desire to drink it or make anything egg-based, so I need to find some other alternative for cereal. 21 days + (+4 CON) 15 days + (+2 CON) 7 days + (+1 CON) Quest 2 : Run Run 4 times a week. I've been doing a ParkRun (5k) every Saturday for a while, but I want to improve my speed by running during the week. I will be using the ZombiesRun! C25k app, with the main app once a week. I will get to strength training, but I currently prefer running, so I will get working out in a routine first, and then build up on that. 16 days + (+2 STA, +2 DEX) 12 days + (+2 STA) 8 days + (+1 STA) Quest 3 : Work Do my studies every day (minus Sunday) Last year's school exams were incredibly humbling, and I need to step my game up 100%. I have a set two hours every night to stick to, and get homework done and additional research. Though this may seem a lot, it is necessary to do as well as I hope to this year. 21 days + (+4 WIS) 15 days + (+2 WIS) 7 days + (+1 WIS) Quest 4 : Skin To do my skincare routine every day. My skin is still oily despite leaving puberty far behind, and I want to take care of my stretch marks as well. Every morning after my shower I will spend five minutes taking care of my skin. 21 days + (+3 CHA) 15 days + (+2 CHA) 7 days + (+1 CHA) 1 Quote they / them | half-orc paladin ( oath of the watcher ) -- lv 0 Challenge 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 ~ Battle Log ~ Epic Quest Link to comment
Infinity.Creates Posted September 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 It was a quiet run down the road, with the morning sun washing everything in a soft pink and orange haze. Lotzo's breathing evened out and she began to enjoy it, when she turned a corner and bumped into a shadow. Their features were hidden under the cowl of a hood and Lotzo felt a chill run down her spine. She tried to apologise and turned to run away, when a bony hand caught her elbow. Menacing laughter filled the air as the entities' other hand plunged into her stomach, into and through. Her stomach felt too full, nearly to the point of bursting, when the hand withdrew. In the skeletal hand was a shining orb of light, purples mixing with orange into green, blending into a bright blinding white. Lotzo staggered, feeling like everything had grown darker and emptier, and watched helplessly as the shadow began running down the road.

Infinity.Creates Posted September 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Lotzo looked left, then right, watching as the shadow ran from her, a large white ball cradled in two hands. That was hers (what part of her, Lotzo had no clue) and she was going to get it back. She bounced on the spot, then started the chase. Hopefully I'll be able to write the story twice a week, on my Tuesdays and Saturdays. I'll be following the story of Lotzo and how she chases this shadow that has her dreams, motivation, and emotions. So far this week, I've begun the process of getting up earlier in preparation for my workouts in the morning. I will be posting a final workout schedule on Saturday. I've also begun the Juice Bar with Stellakin in hopes of a place for Rebels to gather. Week 0 is going down! Straight down the main road, Lotzo kept running, slowly gaining on the shadow. Then it darted into an office building, and she fought through the crowd desperately. But up ahead, she could only see more looming buildings and obstacles that she would have to fight through to get that light back. 2 Quote they / them | half-orc paladin ( oath of the watcher ) -- lv 0 Challenge 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 ~ Battle Log ~ Epic Quest Link to comment

I get nervous before going on stage, but I love being up there and I do want to do it more, which is why I consider myself quite bardic. Honestly, I get more nervous in small stage social interaction.
