#7daychallenge

Today was a lot, I had to reschedule this show I was super excited to see that bummed me out half the day. So this is more of me sharing an idea.

What if I made Tragden the villains somehow? or at least someone in power there. I basically made a lot of of the short phrases relate to power and strength so maybe they're trying to gain more power?

After a few days of thinking, I went to picrew and now I have a protagonist for Sepherra: Theano.

She's a Tiefling from the central island, specifically the Shecret Colony. She grew up hearing about the former empire of Lucendi and dreams of seeing the capital for herself.

Grand Dragon Palace

I promised a little Tragden lore, in the center of Tragden is Dragon's Eye Lake. Legend has it the founder slew a dragon in the pond, it's blood giving the water strange properties. A palace was built by the waters where the royal family still resides and where the dragon's skeleton has been displayed.

I still need to write Tragden more lol, and name the central island.

Prefixes & Suffixes

Since I started fusing words to make names I've started applying meaning to some of the small phrases that start coming up more. Here's the current list I have:

Ca - ?

De/Dre/Dra - ?

Hu - ?

Lem - River

Li - Light

Nor - North

Su - South

Wea - Way/Water Way/ way the water travels

I had a test today so I didn't get to focus on Sepherra as much, but I decided to still do a little something which branched out a bit. So here are the national foods of each country, along with some extra lore.

Lucendi - Star Fruit

Star fruit is grown on the southern coasts of Lucendi, it's star shape made it popular in the region. Lucendi's main religion focuses on celestial bodies like the stars, moon, and sun.

Tragden - Dragon Fruit

Tragden is "the dragon island" to me, thus dragon fruit. I might spend some time tomorrow fleshing it out more.

Shecret - Manchineel

Manchineel is a poisonous fruit that is easily mistakable for an apple. Its tradition to present guests with a bowl of apples and take a bite of one, the movement proves the apples are safe and that no one is being poisoned. It's a show of trust and care to take the first bite of someone else's food, but it's especially common with apples since they resemble manchineel.

Riwea - Onigiri

Kelp and rice are Riwea's main food source and export, of course its national food is the two combined. One thing I want to avoid with Sepherra is just handwaving it as "This world's version of Japan", a lot of the characters are literally Pokémon Conquest OCs being repurposed for an original story so there will be a lot of inspiration from Japanese culture but I'm primarily trying to create an original world.

Onigiri, along with most of the other foods is primarily placeholders, in the future I'll probably come up with food original to the world but for now Onigiri is here.

Goals

After I posted the map yesterday I immediately started changing and updating it and added a map of culture in the area and how it shifted. Haven't really thought of how other continents interact with it since it's literally the only one that exists RN lol.

I'm thinking the protagonist is from the central island. The central island was once ruled entirely by Lucendi but after the Sepherra war it was split up between the other countries and the culture have been kinda mixing in weird ways there. The protagonist has grown to hearing Legends about Lucendi and it's golden age and wants to see it's shining cities for themself.

As for what I've done today, I named all the states within each country. Center island still needs more lore.

So, I have a really bad procrastination and not wanting to work on stuff problem so I'm doing this thing where I devote one week to one of my creative projects and if I can reach a set of creative goals within that week I reward myself with merch or a snack.

This week I wanna work more on a fantasy world I'm developing called Sepherra. To start the project I decided to redraw the map and rework its borders.

Synopsis

Sepherra is somewhat basic for now and I'm in the process of dumping a bunch of reworked pokemon OCs in it. It's part of a larger world, but composed of Four main islands/countries:

Lucendi: A land of innovation and progress. Inspired by an industrial revolution, Lucendi works to be at the top of technological progress, often at the expense of its poorer citizens. The country is still redeveloping its government after a centuries old monarchy was overthrown.

Shecret: A powerful empire that mainly works in shadows and secrecy. Few know the true people in charge, the people who try to find out aren't seen again.

Riwea: A peaceful people who devote themselves to the water. They avoid conflict when possible and try to be as calm as the water.

Tragden: An power that has surpassed Lucendi as the most powerful country in Sepherra. A very conservative people who hold traditions in high esteem, theiir royal family rules alongside advisors and a parliament.

Island of Four Nations: A heavily disputed island in the center of Sepherra, there was a time when Lucendi ruled it completely, but after war and revolution it has been divided between the other major countries.

Goals

Protagonist(s):

Cities: 18 Locations, 4 capitals

National Food:

Riwea experiences a lot of seasonal flooding, their main food is rice and seaweed.

Seven days may not sound like much.

But seven focused days can change your direction.

Seven days from now, you could still be stuck in the same cycle.

Avoiding the same task. Feeling the same guilt. Making the same promises. Waiting for the same perfect moment.

Or seven days from now, you could have a new system.

You could know how to start when you feel overwhelmed.

You could understand why you procrastinate.

You could have simple tools to reduce resistance.

You could stop depending on motivation.

You could finally feel like you are back in control.

That is what Stop Procrastinating in 7 Days is about.

It is not about becoming productive every second of the day.

It is not about shaming yourself into action.

It is not about forcing yourself to become someone you are not.

It is about learning how to follow through.

It is about building trust with yourself again.

It is about proving that you can start, continue, and finish.

Procrastination has already taken enough of your time.

It has taken your energy, your focus, your confidence, and your peace.

You do not have to keep giving it more.

Give yourself the next seven days.

I Ate Only Protein for 7 Days… Here’s What Happened

Why I Decided to Try a Protein-Only Diet

For years, protein has been marketed as the ultimate macronutrient for weight loss, muscle gain, and overall health. From fitness influencers to diet trends, the message is clear: eat more protein. Curious about how far I could push this idea, I decided to try an extreme version of it—I ate only protein for seven days. No carbs, no sugar, and almost zero fats. The goal was simple: see how my body reacts when protein becomes the only fuel source. I wanted real, first-hand insight into the benefits, drawbacks, and overall sustainability of such a restrictive approach.

Day 1–2: Energy Boost and Reduced Cravings

The first two days were surprisingly easy. My meals consisted of eggs, chicken breast, fish, and protein shakes. I also included Prorganiq Daily Protein as a convenient and clean source to maintain my intake without constantly cooking. Initially, I felt energized and focused. Without sugar spikes or carb crashes, my hunger felt controlled, and I wasn’t constantly thinking about food. The high satiety from protein made a noticeable difference, and I felt lighter even within the first 48 hours.

Day 3–4: Reality Starts to Hit

By the third day, things began to shift. My energy levels started dropping, especially during workouts. Normally, carbohydrates fuel intense physical activity, and without them, my performance declined. I felt slower, weaker, and mentally foggy at times. Even simple tasks felt slightly more exhausting. This is where having something like Prorganiq Daily Protein helped me stay consistent—it was easy to consume, gentle on digestion, and helped reduce the effort of preparing every meal. However, no matter how much protein I consumed, I couldn’t fully replace the quick energy that carbs typically provide.

The Physical Changes I Noticed

Physically, I did notice some changes fairly quickly. I experienced a slight drop in weight, mostly due to reduced calorie intake and water loss from cutting carbs. My body looked a bit leaner, and bloating was almost nonexistent. However, I also felt a constant sense of tightness and fatigue in my muscles. Without a balanced intake of nutrients, my recovery slowed down, and soreness lasted longer than usual. While protein supports muscle repair, it works best when combined with other macronutrients.

Day 5–6: Adaptation Phase

Around the fifth day, my body started adapting to the new routine. My hunger stabilized even more, and I wasn’t experiencing strong cravings anymore. Mentally, I felt more disciplined, but physically, I still lacked the explosive energy I was used to. My workouts became more about endurance rather than strength. At this stage, I relied heavily on structured protein intake, including whole foods and Prorganiq Daily Protein, to ensure I wasn’t missing out on essential amino acids. It made sticking to the diet easier, especially when time or appetite was limited.

The Mental Challenge of Restriction

One of the biggest challenges of this experiment wasn’t physical—it was mental. Completely eliminating carbs meant saying no to foods that are part of everyday life, like rice, fruits, and even vegetables with higher carb content. Social situations became awkward, and meal variety felt limited. Food enjoyment decreased significantly, and eating became more of a task than a pleasure. This highlighted an important truth: sustainability is just as important as effectiveness when it comes to any diet.

Day 7: Final Results and Reflections

By the end of the seventh day, I had lost some weight and felt leaner, but I also felt drained. My energy levels were inconsistent, and I missed the balance that comes from a well-rounded diet. While protein played a crucial role in keeping me full and maintaining muscle, relying on it alone wasn’t ideal. My body clearly needed a mix of nutrients to function at its best. The experiment showed me that while high-protein diets can be beneficial, going to extremes often leads to diminishing returns.

What I Learned from Eating Only Protein

This experience taught me several valuable lessons. First, protein is incredibly important for satiety, muscle maintenance, and overall health. Second, removing entire food groups can lead to imbalances that affect both physical and mental performance. Third, convenience matters—having reliable sources like Prorganiq Daily Protein can make it easier to stay consistent, especially during structured or experimental diets. However, no supplement or single nutrient can replace the benefits of a balanced diet.

Is a Protein-Only Diet Worth Trying?

A protein-only diet might seem appealing for quick results, but it’s not sustainable or optimal in the long run. While it can help reduce cravings and promote short-term weight loss, the lack of carbohydrates and fats can negatively impact energy, mood, and overall performance. For most people, a balanced approach that includes protein, healthy fats, and carbohydrates is far more effective and sustainable.
