Counting Victories Challenge Day 1
Today’s victory: I managed to get started with my training again.

Warm-up
Vitality Day 5 lv III (no rest between sets)

Cardio
60 days of Cardio Day 20 lv III (no rest between sets)

Workout of the Day (WOD)
High Gear Day 1 lv III (rest <45 seconds rest between sets)

I had set myself the goal of completing High Gear at level 2, as I did not feel it would be realistic to complete it at level 3 after almost 14 days with no training and virtually no training in September. So, it gave me a much-needed morale boost to complete it at level 3, even though the last two sets were unbearable, and I was utterly done afterwards.

Stretching
Spellbound Hard Mode – Chapter 7

Charge: “Healing 2 Spell”

Spells:
Cast “Healing 2 Spell”. Dice roll: 4 (1d12)

Finisher
Daily push-up Challenge Day 1

Touch your toes: 60sec toes reach (almost there)

Total push-ups 2020: 18.888

Total pull-ups 2020: 313

Total Indoor Rowing: 135.597m

Walking to Mordor: 2880 km

Counting Victories Challenge Day 2
Today’s victory: I managed to do 60 days of Cardio on level III.

Warm-up
Vitality Day 6 lv III (no rest between sets)

Cardio
60 days of Cardio Day 21 lv III (rest <45 seconds rest between sets)

60 days of Cardio seemed deceptively easy: 10 climbers/2 plank rotations done five times in a row for seven sets. After the first two sets, I came to realize it wasn’t easy at all as I was still sore after yesterday’s training. So I had to muster all my mental strength to finish it on level 3, and my shoulders and core weren’t happy at all with me afterwards.

Workout of the Day (WOD)
High Gear Day 2 lv III (rest <45 seconds rest between sets)

Stretching
Spellbound Hard Mode – Chapter 7

Charge: “Healing 3 Spell”

Spells:
Cast “Healing 3 Spell”. Dice roll: 1 (1d12)

Spoiler alert

Something seems wrong. I somehow feel a magical aura floating around the man which deflected even my most potent healing spell. I wonder if someone has cursed him during his captivity.

Challenges
Legs of Steel Challenge Day 21

The Impossible Abs Challenge Day 21

Back & shoulders Challenge Day 21

I combined the Abs Challenge and the Back and Shoulders Challenge.

Finisher
Daily push-up Challenge Day 2*

*I did different push-up variations with 30-40-seconds rest between each variation: Stacked, raised leg, staggered, regular, diamond, wide, spider-man, knuckle, stacked, regular. I did ten repetitions of each variation. Total: 100 push-ups.

Touch your toes: 60sec toes reach (almost there)

Total push-ups 2020: 18.988

Total pull-ups 2020: 313

Total Indoor Rowing: 135.597m

Walking to Mordor: 2889,9 km

Yay for lvl 3!

Holly High Gear on level 3.
Seems like you are enjoying Spellbound

**Sundance** · October 18, 2020, 05:03 AM

Thanks, NancyTree and Amirsh

I find Spellbound very intriguing. I'm stuck at chapter 7 at the moment as my spells don't have any effect. I have an idea for today which may solve the conundrum I'm in.

In recent weeks, I have been a bit down in the dumps. It is not a specific incident or experience which has caused it. It has come more insidiously like a thief in the night. I've been busy the last few weeks with work, so I have not been aware that I have been heading down a hole. In hindsight, there were small signs such as a slight change in my eating patterns, not enough sleep and no exercise.

I have been on holiday this week. We have been to our summerhouse where we have had walks in the woods and on the beach. I have also done small things during the day that I appreciate. I have also started training again. It is all helping me to crawl out of the hole I had stumbled into. I'm not out of the hole yet, but I feel I'm well on my way.

Counting Victories Challenge Day 3
Today’s victory:
At the moment, I'm reading "The Mindful Way through Depression - Freeing Yourself from Chronic Unhappiness". I find the book interesting and helpful with its focus on mindfulness - an area which I have found useful in the past.

Today I started practising to be mindful during my daily chores, starting with my meals.

Charge: “Cursebreaker”

I tried to cast Cursebreaker to break the magical curse. It is was in vain as the curse was too powerful for me to break. I will not give up trying to save the man. I must lay out a new plan.
