This first week has been good. I stuck to my plan and did the bodyweight workout Monday, Wednesday, friday and today. Threw some pull ups in there to. I got a fitbit flex today so I can track my cal.'s, steps, and sleep.

This will be my second six week challenge. But my first as an assassin. I am excited. I'll just get right to it - For my main quest: I want to make my entire body healthier. To do this I will: Start doing the basic body weight workout 3 times a week and as I go along add more to it (pull-ups, etc.) I want to lower my body fat percentage to 8% this challenge. Right now I'm at 14% body fat. I will do this by cutting out more carbs. and cals. and do more sprints. For my life quest I want to learn to downhill ski this winter. I plan on devoting a few days to this when I can get the money together. My motivation for this is, I love running in obstacle races and I am signed up for a competitive wave in a upcoming race. I want to win! In my last obstacle race I was only ten minuets behind the fastest guy that day. And I didn't even train for the race. I want to prove to myself that I can do it!

End of the six weeks. I can now hold plank, side planks, and back plank for 3 min. I can do 8 pullups. I weigh 130 lbs. My body fat percentage is at 12%. I only eat 110 carbs per day. I can now run 8 miles nonstop. Planks = A Pull ups = +B Lower Body Fat Percentage = +B Carbs per day = -A I feel great! If I can do this much in 6 weeks I will definitely be back for the next challenge. How !many attribute points do I get at now that I'm done with my first challenge?

This week has been great I can do 6.5 pull ups, ran 7 miles, planks and push ups are getting better. Body fast percentage is now at 14% and I weigh 132 lbs.

Been doing good pull ups are almost to 6, planks are to 2:30 now. I only weigh 135, and am eating 170 carbs. per day. Body fat percentage is at 15%.

Haven't posted in a while. I've been having to bring a lot of work home this week. I'm still doing my stuff just so tired that I haven't been posting. Pull ups are up to 5, planks are all past 2:10 sec. And only 180 carbs per day.I weigh in at 138 lbs now and body fat is at 16%.

I decided to leave my pullup bar on the door today just to see what I would. And I surprised my self i found that while relaxing watching TV when a commercial would come on, I would get up and do as many pull ups as I could then some negative pull ups and be done, as the day finished I can definitly feel my arms being sore. unfortunatley I can't take my pull up bar with me during the week but on the weekend it might work out well to leave it up. Everything else was good I only ate 195 carbs today and 200 yesterday. Planks continually get better and I can sprint for longer on the elliptical now. Runs are around or above six miles.

Thanks. I'm down to 17% body fat now. I ate my normal size meal at thanksgiving dinner.I can do 4 pull ups and I am to 2 min. with all my planks. Runs were the same as last week. With the snow it is difficult to do sprints so I do the sprints as good as I can on the elliptical machine. only ate 200 carbs each yesterday and today. And I'm still going to try to do the fingertip pushups every night.

Been busy so i haven't posted in a few days but I have been keeping up with my workouts and diet. Today when I did my planks and pushups, I tried to do some fingertip pushups and I got to 5 before my fingers felt like the were falling off.

My inspiration is Faith from Mirror's Edge.

Past two days have been awesome. My planks get better every day and I can still only do 3.5 pull ups now. Eating is good no more than 205 carbs per day. Tommarow I will check my body fat percentage again at the same time of day as I did last time. Managed to get two runs in this week even with the bad weather, did 5.5 miles each. It was a pretty good second week overall.

Alright. Thursday and today I did my exercises and ate right. I am at 3.5 pull ups right now.

I have not done any thing you just said except for the runs. Been busy. But no excuses I will be better. Today my calipers came in I am at a rough body fat percentage estimate of 18% and I weigh around 140 ish so I've only got 10% to go to get to my ideal body fat percentage. I can now sucessfully do 3 pull ups. And I keep daily records of my planks. I think when the challenge is over I will post a picture of the records on here. I only ate 205-210 carbs each yesterday and today. I am also looking into ski lessons in my area for my life quest.

Pretty much the same as yesterday. Did all my stuff. Slowly improving I can almost do a third pull up now. I held all my planks longer. I've also decided to permenatly add the push ups into my workout. Ate only 210 carbs today, still no cookies. I weigh about 142 lbs. Also the calipers will get here by Wednesday.

Today was pretty good. I bought a body fat caliper online should be here before the end of the week so I can track my percentage. I did my pull ups, negative pull ups, body weight rows, and bent over bell rows. I did all my planks and held them each a little longer today. I threw in some push ups to just for the heck of it. Then I shoveled the driveway. I ate only 220 carbs today and no cookies. Tommarow I will weigh myself to see were I'm at.
