#conqueror challenges

Time to finish another challenge. Giza!

One thing that I have been learning this year and a half is CONSISTENCY.

Have a daily habit that is part of your every day life.

For my, the virtual challenges have been a great way to track my progress and stay more consistent.

Another thing is: Fuck perfection.

Perfection stops people from getting shit done.

If you feel like the perfect workout is 60 minutes and you never have a 60 minute block of time, you workout will never get done.

Start where you are. It doesn't have to be "good" to get a benefit. It just has to be done.

Real progress has come from having a really low bar. 20 minutes a day on the elliptical. Then it become 2.2 miles. Then it was maybe I can do 25 today. Some days it is longer. Some days I stick to the 20 minutes and call it good. Over time, the resistance has gotten higher. I work backwards and forwards in different amounts depending on what I am feeling.

But you know what? It gets done.

PROGRESS OVER PERFECTION.

65 min on stair mill.

630 calories

1220 feet climbed

1960 total steps

120 floors climbed

I am sweating like a maniac for sure. Mostly stayed on level 2. Intervals for 5 and 6 for 1-2 mins. But my heart rate was still pretty high at level 2 so I didn't push it too much.

Manitou better get ready for me!!!

My keto krate came so I had some extra snacks. Choczero chocolates are ah-mazing.

I spent an hour on the treadmill, doing inclines. Used some weighted gloves and dumbbell stuff. Allegedly burned 400 cals.

I did eat 2 cucumbers today, they were going bad. Had some leftovers for lunch. Delicious.

My name is Charlie and I’m a 26 year old woman!

This blog is dedicated to my conqueror challenges. So far I’ve completed the 2013 Tomb raider mission inspired by one of my favourite video games of all time: tomb raider and comfort character: Lara Croft, which was 235km long! Rise of the Tomb Raider which was 246km long! The Scooby-Doo challenge which was 80.4km long! The English Channel challenge which was 33.80Km long. The moon challenge which was 160.9Km long. And the Salem witch trials challenge which was 47.8Km.

I am currently doing the to the shadow of the tomb raider challenge which is 225.3Km.

I’ll be logging all my updates here (and the app of course) and posting inspiration photos and fandom content of the challenges I am doing at the time!

Unfortunately, walking may not be my best mode of exercise- my hips and lower back have been hurting a lot more (my feet don't hurt since I got the walking shoes) and early onset arthritis runs in my family. So I need to see what else I might do to change it up.

Next up is the Inca Trail (26 miles)!

My current plan is 2 miles/day every other day. I also build in another few days in case I hurt myself or just don't feel like it because if I push myself I get contrary and stop doing it.

I'm looking forward to Hadrian's wall next, but that's 90 miles and it's going to take a while.
