2014 Ended pretty bad. Stress everywhere around me, holidays being lonely, and eating HORRIBLY. Well, January 5th hit and I was back from vacation. I started with 2 friends of mine to do a weight loss challenge. I bought the Nerd Fitness Academy, and have been using that since then. It has definitely helped towards my goal! I have updated my quests below. I currently have 100 info since January 5th, so I'm looking forward to maxing that out I'm currently down 17.8lbs and loving it! Almost half way to the goal. Main Quest: Lose (42.6lbs) by June 1. My main goal started January 1. 2014 didn't end positive, but it started fantastic. The Main Quest will land me on a beach in Mexico for a few days! Quest 1: Hit the Gym 3 times a week The gym has been my friend since high school. It's there when I need it, and there when I don't go to taunt me about not going. If I go 3 times a week minimum, I'm pretty sure I can smile and feel better. Quest 2: Run two times a week I've always tried to run. I've accomplished mud runs, and a 10 mile race. But, I work up to those. I want this quest to be about making running a hobby and habit. To the point of I feel broke if I don't accomplish this habit. Quest 3: Go 100% Paleo Since January 5th, I've been working on removing various items from my diet. Working towards removing bread completely, and greek yogurt. Those are my last two hangups. Side Quest 1: Go for a run/walk in the morning before work. I've been getting better sleep, so I go to bed earlier, and wake up earlier. I will use the extra time before work to run or walk. Side Quest 2: Ride my bike more often This goes with Quest 1 and 2. I ride my bike to the gym to work out and run. Motivation: Friends, Family, The girl(whoever she may be in the future). I've had a lot of friends follow my progress of working out, running, trends that I've taken on. I want to encourage everyone to not only follow what I do, but to see them commit to it and be healthy themselves. Life Quest: Continue and excel my podcast. Also make 2015 the year of paying off small debts I have. Also, get out of the stress zone which is called my house!
