Week 2 went great considering the family issues. Week 3 has been the bane of my quests. I had a doctor's appointment that monday. I walked away with hypertension meds, 2 cholesterol meds, and meds for hypothyroidism. Thyroid problems are hereditary.. But all these meds have me on a physical drain roller coaster as my body adjusts.

So your challenge for this week has 3 parts: 1. Pinpoint the quest in your journey that is giving you the most uphill (or one that you're struggling to achieve) Motivation to to get out and walk every morning. The past week as been a huge struggle after my doctor putting me on medication for hypothyroidism. 2. Search through NF (forums or articles) to find one that is able to offer some assistance​ http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2009/12/21/how-to-guarantee-victory-against-the-motivation-monster/ 3. Apply it to your challenge (no collecting underpants here). So I moved my workout stuff between me and the alarm. And I am getting up an extra 30 minutes earlier to make more time available to get that walk in!

I will definitely be taking the advice about the push ups. Thanks kindly. I plan to work on getting lower as my wrists get stronger, I am able to get 20 before the wrist pain gets to be too much. Also life is throwing me some major curve balls. Positive- Fall Softball season has started and I am an official coach this year (instead of just a bossy parent). Its doubling my cardio routine. Woot! Negative- My best friend of 15 years, who is more like my sister (we grew up together), just found out her dad has stage 4 brain cancer and roughly a year to live. He is like a father to me. (T.T) So, I am fighting my arch enemies Depression and Emotional Eating... So far I am winning...

Week 1 - Let's Get SMART Is your overall quest achievable (over a short or long period of time)? Is it reasonable? Totally achievable and reasonable over a long period of time, and with focus can be done over a short period... Which is the effort I am planning. Do your 3 quests all build towards your main quest in little ways, or are you taking on too much? Do your quests have sub-quests or is it just one thing to focus on? My 3 quests are all things that can and will bring about greater self worth, self confidence, self pride. My subgoals focus on the biggest self hindrance in my life. Are your main goals realistic? Can you scale them to smaller steps to fit your life better, even if it will make it take a little longer to achieve them? Yes. Planned purposely as baby steps in the direction I need to be heading. I could if need be. Are your goals able to be measured and tracked? What will you use to track them? Yes. Fitness Journal. How are you grading your goals? Are they pass/fail (“every dayâ€, “not even once over the six weeksâ€)? Is there a reward for the effort, or are you only grading yourself on whether or not you “lose the weight†or “run the distanceâ€? A- F Grading scale. for each quest element, averaged together at the end. What is your plan for continuing/altering/grading those goals if you become ill or injured? Continuing subbing in alterations only when necessary but docking a letter grade. Did you take into consideration any special occasions (Labour Day, Independence Day, birthdays, anniversaries, etc) that may occur during the challenge? What modifications do you need to build into your goals for those? No Need Do any of your main goals conflict with each other? Will one goal make it hard to do another? Nope! Do you already have the time in your schedule to actually complete the goals you’ve set? Yep!! Are you trying to build multiple habits, or is all your energy focused on your main quest? They all support my effort to live long and enjoy life with my husband and daughters. <3 Your mini quest: Make sure your goals are definitely SMART. For completing this mini quest you will receive an additional +1WIS at the end of the 6 weeks. Woot!
