The Emperor, his enforcer, and the Death Star are no more but the Empire remains strong. The Battle is won but the war rages on. Before the new Republic can form, the Rebellion has work to do: Goals: Continue to wage war on the Empire and decrease their numbers – Lose 8 pounds during the challenge and weigh 235. I lost a little over 10 during the last challenge when my goal was 5 pounds so I kicked it up to 8 for this challenge. This is part of the overall goal of getting in shape and getting off the BP meds and diabetes risk. In a few challenges, this will become a maintenance goal and transform into a building muscle and fitness. Become a Jedi – Earn my Black Belt in WTF Taekwondo. Longer term goal and will continue for the next few challenges. Finance the Rebellion. The Rebellions finances are a bit of a mess and need to be corrected before they can truly govern. Dang, longer term goals, baby steps will be taken this challenge. Secure the Rebellion. Pass CompTIA Security+ Exam. I took this class over a year ago and dabbled with studying and never got anywhere, time to get serious.We have consulted with the finest strategists in the Rebellion; here is their plan on how to accomplish these goals in the next 6 weeks. Reduce the Empires numbers (Lose 8 pounds, weigh 235 pounds): Walk 30 minutes a day 6 days a week.Weight lifting 5 days a week.Continue to follow the newly discovered Ewok (Primal) diet having only 1 contraband meal a week in a controlled and orderly manner.Become a Jedi (Earn Black Belt in WTF Taekwondo): Train in the Jedi (Taekwondo) arts 1 hour a day 5 days a week. I tried every day last challenge and go a little burned out so scaling back just a bit and allowing for other areas of study (1 steps and knowledge).Meditate 5 minutes a day. Dabbled with this in the past and never got anywhere so gonna give it a go in a tracked public way. Also seemed Jedi like so seemed like a nice add-on.Finance the Rebellion (Get finances on the right track): Read Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. Some friends and fellow Rebels had success so going to give this a shot.Complete any workbooks and forms in book.Secure the Rebellion (prepare for and schedule the Security+ exam): Study Security+ book and study materials 5 hours a week. Schedule the test by the end of the challenge. Well there it is fellow Rebels, can't wait to get started Sunday, I had a blast last challenge and enjoyed the company and inspiration of my fellow adventurers.
