Introduction: Hi I am AkChrome and this is my first challenge. I love being active and exploring new things. I have health issues which have brought me to an unhealthy lifestyle which I am aiming to change. I currently weigh 270lbs for a 5'8 person, hold a sad self image and am changing to a Paleo diet. I joined the rebellion because I would really like to change my lifestyle and one day be able to hike the apappalachian trail with my husband. Main Quest: Lose 20lbs by the end of 2014. Quest 1: Workout for at least 15 minutes a day, 5 days a week Measurement: A = 15 min for 30 days, B = 15 min, 25 days, C = 15 min, 20 days Reward: A = +3 STA, +2 STR, B = +2 STA, +1 STR, C = +1 STA Quest 2: Drink no soda for the whole challenge. I will swap out soda for water. Measurement: A = 0 sodas, B = 6 sodas, C = 12 sodas Reward: A = +3 CON, B = +2CON, C = +1 CON Quest 3: Eat at least one Paleo meal a day. I currently rarely eat due to lack of appetite and many things make me sick. I’m attempting to cook and eat Paleo, so hoping this shouldn't be too hard Measurement: A = 1 Paleo meal, 42 days; B = 1 Paleo meal, 36 days, C = 1 Paleo meal, 30 days Reward: A = +3 WIS, +2 CON, B = +2WIS, +1 CON, C = +1WIS Life Quest: Be able to write one truthful and positive thing about myself each day. Measurement: A = 42 days, B = 36 days, C = 30 days Reward: A = +2 CHA, B = +1CHA, C = +0.5 CHA Motivation: I want to feel better about myself and be able to enjoy my life and be proud of myself. I have a very supportive husband who I want to be proud when I am with him.
