3.Final Challenge allocation: Q1: A (100%) = 3 CON Q2: C (66%)= 2 STR Q3: A (100%) = 3 WIS LQ: F (0%) = 0 WIS

So this is my second six week challenge, I still haven't finished allocating my stats from the first one (school is a thing), but I'm a Level 2 Assassin hopeful! I'm a college student who's just started the school semester again, and this challenge is going to cover the first half of the semester, so I'm going to structure my goals in a way that will benefit both my education and my body. Main Quest: Get stronger. I'm learning how to run now, and the last challenge had me starting to do bodyweight workouts. If I want to be an assassin I have to be strong, I have to be fast, and I have to be able to kick butt if I have to. SMART Quests: 1. Run three days a week, whether with the Zombies Run! Couch to 5k program or just to music and the regular Zombies Run app. Grade A - 3 days/wk (+3 STA) Grade B - 2 days/wk (+2 STA) Grade C - 1 day/wk (+1 STA) Grade F- No days (+0 STA) 2. Complete the Darebee Pandora 30 Day challenge. I started last week but I'm going to start over from day 1 today to stay on track. Grade: A - Exercise for all 30 days (+3 STR) B - Exercise for 21 days (+2 STR) C - Exercise for 14 days (+1 STR) D - Exercise for 7 days (+0 STR) F - Exercise for <7 days (-1 STR) 3. Track everything I eat on YouFood. I can't eat paleo while I'm at school, but I feel like tracking everything I eat will leave me with a level of accountability so that I can make better choices. My goal is to track at least 5 days a week, tracking every meal. Grade A - 5+ days/wk (+4 CON) Grade B - 4 days/wk (+3 CON) Grade C - 3 days/wk (+2 CON) Grade D - 2 days/wk (+1 CON) Grade F - 1 or less days/wk (+0 CON) Life Quest: I'm going to do my homework every single day, when it's assigned, before it's due. I need to get very good grades this year to be able to stay in my program in college and I am going to fight every single day to get these good grades. I'm hoping that with the things I learned from the last challenge and the things that I learn from this challenge that I'll have the drive and the discipline to be able to complete assignments on time and study and do well this year. Motivation: I felt really good about the last six week challenge and I want to use that drive and motivation to get even stronger and become the best version of myself that I can be. I know that I can't change myself entirely over the next 6 weeks, and I know that there will be times that I struggle and want to give up, but I am going to try my hardest to get to the next logical step over the nest six weeks. Weekly Progess: Running Week 1: Week 2: Week 3: Week 4: Week 5: Week 6: Darebee Pandora Week 1: Week 2: Week 3: Week 4: Week 5: Week 6: Meal Tracking Week 1: Week 2: Week 3: Week 4: Week 5: Week 6:

Okay so I finished my Whole30, got down to 166 pounds, and I'm starting my new challenge today! I'm actually writing it up now before I even allocate my stat points for this challenge because that's how far behind I am.

And for week 5, I did a 30s plank! for +1 DEX

A little bit late, but here's mini challenge 4!

Okay I haven't updated in a week so here's what's been going on. I worked out one day last week, and that was at work. Life kinda hit me like a brick and things aren't going too well in my personal life so I'm finding it hard to be motivated to do the things I need to for my health. But, I'm still doing the Whole30, even though I've been barely eating because of stress

Completed another round of the bodyweight A version of my workout! I'm really tired today and definitely should have done this earlier instead of an hour before I have to leave my house for work, but I feel good! And having completed this puts me in track for Monday, Wednesday, Friday workouts again since laziness got me way off track with my workouts!

Okay so yesterday I did the B section of my bodyweight workout and still couldn't complete it. I'm thinking that it's mostly because I sprained my knee about a month ago and it's still healing, so I can't do luges or step-ups. I thing that on Monday when the B workout rolls around again I'm going to do the whole thing just without the movements that make my knee cranky.

1. I have the most trouble sticking with my workout plan because I'm super lazy and tired all the time. 2. I found this article about motivation, which says that motivation is basically useless; this lovely bout of inspiration, and this article that shows the difference between inspiration and motivation. 3. I look at these articles when I need to be inspired or get motivated to work out instead of sitting at my laptop

Quick diet update: I've been soooo sad about not being able to have certain foods on the whole30 while my parents have been eating all the junky type foods that I want, so when my dad went to get KFC he bought me some mashed potatoes without the gravy because it's whole30 compliant. I had a tiny ramekin full of mashed potatoes and clarified butter and I didn't feel better, but I felt like I could maybe work on ways to get through these next 18 days without wanting to kill myself or someone else from deprivation.

Today's workout, same as last Monday's, and it went pretty well today. I didn't warm up today but I did do some stretching afterwards. The good thing about doing workouts at home is that you can do them in your pajamas and no one will judge you! I've been doing surprisingly well with this diet as well, I'm starting to not really miss some of the foods i used to eat all the time. I thought I'd miss pasta the entire time, but I'm already on day 11 and my need for pasta has subsided from a great need to a mild want.

Okay so I didn't work out Friday...or yesterday, and I'm pretty sure that it's because this whole30 has got me feeling sluggish and gross because my body is struggling to get used to a different way of getting it's energy. I did batch cook a whole bunch of stuff for myself for the next few days though so I'm set until at least Wednesday on the food front! I'm just really really tired lately, and I guess I just don't feel too well.

I know how you feel on the running, I have to restart Zombies 5k and I can't until this heat wave breaks so I'm stuck until around September lol. I've just been doing bodyweight workouts indoors to keep up with exercising, and I walk a lot at work

Couldn't finish my workout today, but I'm going on a day trip with my dad where we'll be doing a lot of walking so hopefully that makes up for my terrible workout this morning. I think it's better for me to do my workouts in the afternoon because I'm more likely to finish them in the afternoon lol

I worked out three days last week, and successfully started the whole 30 program!

I did part 1, and I'm following various people from the NF Academy so part 3 is done as well!

Today's workout! It wasn't really intense by any means, so it went very quickly

I wanted to give a quick update today since I didn't have time to post over the weekend (I worked 19.5 hours over two days) I started whole 30 on Saturday. So far so good, today is the first day that I'm trying the recipes in the book, and they're actually pretty good. As long as I stick with the habit of grocery shopping with a list once a week and cooking during the week, this whole 30 should be no problem at all! I'm going to do my workout today so I'll post it later when I finish it, but I just have to work around my father's schedule because he's on vacation with me this week, and by vacation I mean we're just staying home all day while my mom has to go to work lol.

I realized that the workouts helped me out a lot with staying grounded and in the mindset of helping instead of making things worse. My fiance and I don't live together yet because we can't afford it and our parents don't know we're officially getting married yet which is why on Facebook and sometimes on here I'll call him my boyfriend, because frankly even if he's my fiance I'll call him my boyfriend until we're married, and then I'll call him my super boyfriend lol. I'm trying to get him to do some of the workouts with me to get his mind off of everything but he's just grieving right now.

I'm following from the Facebook group!

I found you from the facebook group! Good luck with your challenge!

Good luck with your challenge! Not to be weird, but did you make your screenname from a Magic the Gathering cardl, and if so do you want to be my new best friend?

I'm new to the forums, is my challenge thread supposed to be just challenge related things, or can I put in other excercise and nutrition related things as well? One of my challenge goals was to become more knowledgeable about nutrition and fitness so I think it counts but I'm still not 100% sure about how these challenges work yet.

My mini challenge is in the first post of my challenge thread, here: http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/69245-littlewolf1275s-epic-quest/
