Main Quest: Phoenix Down I am a newly certified/employed EMT in my mid 20's. With this new job, I've had my regular sleep schedule turned upside down. On top of that, I've also been paired up to face various other challenges, both professional (the fragility of life and experiencing death first hand and frequently in the ER) and personal (conveniently going through a break up, as well, for example). These aforementioned life hiccups have left me swirling in to quite a dark place, sitting on my butt for hours playing video games or browsing the internet just to get my mind off of things. So to combat this I decided to get a weight bench and some weights. Hopefully this purchase can help me get my life back on the right track. I'm realizing the negative energy that my self-inflicted ostracization is creating and I need to change it. This weight bench, joining this forum, and all other movements are attempts to begin the process of resurrection. The process of finding that phoenix down. (What that means in generic terms: To build a bit more confidence in my physique. And with that build of confidence, a radiating contentment with life in general.) Supporting Quest: (+50 Exp each) Work out for at least 30 minutes a day(Excluing sports as I do that as often as possible anyways). Begin monitoring what I eat (it's a baby step, but hey, at least it's a step) by eating at least one healthy meal a day Full body stretch before sleeping, whenever that happens.Life Quest (+100 Bonus Exp per paycheck) Save >$80 each paycheck to fund getting outta town(it's scaled so highly because I struggle to save). Motivation: -To get positive energy flowing. It's a spiderweb theory, if you will. I begin to increase muscularity and endurance which resounds to more confidence, better social interaction and relationships, and eventually self sufficient happiness and pride.-I'd also like to improve my athleticism. I've been playing sports since I was 3-4 years old and the competitive gene runs through my blood. I love giving the sports I play (Volleyball, Ultimate, Soccer, etc) my all. It does get frustrating when I do give it my all and it still isn't enough to "compete." So increasing my stamina and resilience would be a bonus.

But really, if you guys have any ideas to positively/negatively critique this post or my plan, by all means, fire away. I'm quite a social creature (when I'm not lame and broody) so I'd love to hear from you all. And again, I don't even know if I'm doing this right so if I'm not, tell me!!
