Howdy, My name is Emrys. I'm a 28 year old rebel. I've been powerlifting for about 6 months. I fell off a bit at the end of 2018 due to life stressors and I'm trying to make a strong start in 2019. Consider this challenge my re-spawn! Jan 7th- Feb 3rd 4 WEEK CHALLENGE: GOAL 1: Fitness: I want to diversify my fitness this year. I've enjoyed lifting and intend to continue; I just want to work my muscles in other ways. I've avoided running like the plague (I hate cardio) and I haven't attended a yoga class in months (really bad previous instructor) so here's my first goal for this cycle: attend yoga or Run Club at least 1x a week (0/4) The plan is to alternate weeks. GOAL 2: Fitness. Last year, I accomplished my goal of learning how to swim. This year, I want to become a more confident swimmer so I am setting a goal to swim 10 laps at least 1x a week. (0/4) GOAL 3: Language: I 100% fell off with my Spanish practice so I'm setting a goal to get back to it. The plan is to do 2-5 1 activities in Rosetta Stone daily. (0/28) LEVEL UP MY LIFE: Debt. I racked up some good balances on my credit cards over the holidays and now it's time to pay the piper. This goal is to pay down Amazon or Citicard by $50 each pay (0/2) Bonus! I've also decided to choose 2-3 one-off quests to complete each challenge. [ ] Run for 15 minutes without stopping [ ] 10 Second Wall Handstand [ ] Run on a local trail Side note: I'm still hoping to make friends and meet some folks in meatspace so please say hi!

Week 2 Updates: I am really not doing well at all. GOAL 1: Diet. Not as good as I might have done but still much better than I thought I'd do. My actual calorie intake isn't bad; it's just getting my activity level back up that's the struggle. (8/28) GOAL 2: Fitness. I had a work training last week so I managed to get my lunch hour walk in 3 out of 5 days. Also realized I have to update my metric since I don't work 7 days a week. (4/24) GOAL 3: Language: Fail. Just utter fail. This was a bad goal to choose this time around. My brain is too preoccupied to even make the attempt. (0/28) LEVEL UP MY LIFE: Debt. I actually did well with this one. (2/4) Bonus!

Howdy, My name is Emrys. I'm a 28 year old rebel. I've been powerlifting for about three months and I've got a pretty good routine going. I'm finally seeing some gains and *maintaining them* so I don't want to start slacking now. Oct 22-Nov 18 4 WEEK CHALLENGE: GOAL 1: Diet. I'm down to the high 150s, which is huge. Less than 10lbs to hit my goal weight and I feel myself getting a little shaky with my eating habits so I'm bringing this goal back: Hit a 400 calorie deficit daily. (0/28) GOAL 2: Fitness. I've been making it to the gym consistently, but slacking on my rest day movement so I'm bringing this one back as well: go for a 20-30 minute walk during lunch each day. (0/28) GOAL 3: Language: Last challenge was a major fail because my library's digital inventory was pretty lacking in Spanish Lit so I'm going to go back to a goal I have much more control over. The plan is to do 2-5 activities in Rosetta Stone daily. (0/28) LEVEL UP MY LIFE: Debt. Saving up to buy a home means I need all the income I can generate. I'm working to maximize my time in the office: schedule all evening session slots each week (0/4) Bonus! I've also decided to choose 2-3 one-off quests to complete each challenge.

Week 3 Updates: GOAL 1: Diet. Averaged ~1500 calories last week AND managed to keep my non-gym day intake within the set range. (16/28) GOAL 2: Fitness. Sticking to the daily protein shakes and incorporating more chicken (and string cheese!) has really helped. (21/28) Any tips on this would be much appreciated!
