Greetings everybody! RogueWelkin's back for his seventh foray into the Adventurers! Now to stop freaking you all out he'll stop referring to himself in the third person! So after the events of last challenge I decided that this one will be focused on dietary goals, since I didn't ace my Path to Paleo that'll be coming back this time. But I think focusing solely on dietary challenges will help get me to my main goal and get me past the slump I've been in the past few challenges, then the challenge after this can probably be more focused on exercise. MAIN CHALLENGE As for the past few challenges, I've been saying "Look awesome in a Kilt for my wedding day" I'm going to say that's still the goal but I want to be more specific. I hope to hit around 180 lbs by the wedding date of 09/20/2014. That's a weight loss of around 40 lbs, might be a bit much so I won't be devastated if I don't reach it, but that's the dream. (Yes I was lazy and just left this the same as last time...same with my motivation too!) MOTIVATION The motivation is the hope to see the looks and reactions of everyone when the see me in the best shape of my life standing up at the infamous altar. Not to mention the increase capability, improved emotional state, and other benefits from the healthier life. SUB-QUESTS Quest 1 - Path to Paleo: Avoid Cereal Grains and Dairy [CON:5] Carried over from the previous two challenges, I'm sticking with this until I can manage an A rating. A: No Cheats For All Six Weeks B: 1 Cheat A Week For Four Weeks C: 2 Cheats a Week for Four Weeks D: 3 Cheats a Week for Six Weeks F: >3 Cheats a Week Quest 2 - Potato Potahto: Say goodbye to Potatoes, Sweet variety as well [CON:3] So I didn't lose much over the past challenge, after the first week I lost about 5 lbs, then the second week I lost 1 lbs, then I gained that one pound back and it stayed. I think a heavy leaning on potatoes in my meals this challenge created this, so this time I'm trying to cut them out. A: No Cheats For All Six Weeks B: 1 Cheat A Week For Four Weeks C: 2 Cheats a Week for Four Weeks D: 3 Cheats a Week for Six Weeks F: >3 Cheats a Week Quest 3 - Decaffeinated: Cut out the caffeine [CON: 2|STA:2] One of the other major issues in my last challenge was a return to caffeinated beverages after a long period of time, I had them cut out completely previous, but a lot entered into my apartment because of parties, and left via my mouth. Cutting them out should help move forward. (Yes, Stamina...cutting out the caffeine seems to let me have more energy throughout the day without a major crash in the middle) A: No Cheats For All Six Weeks B: 1 Cheat A Week For Four Weeks C: 2 Cheats a Week for Four Weeks D: 3 Cheats a Week for Six Weeks F: >3 Cheats a Week SIDE QUEST Side Quest - Keep up the Exercise Habit: Find an exercise regimen I'll enjoy enough to have less issues performing it during the week. [STR: 2|STA:1] I've been having motivation issues performing exercises 3 times a week, I managed it mostly last time, but it was a fight each time. I need to either find a place,time,outfit, or exercise(s) to help keep this going each week. A: Exercise 3x a week for all 6 weeks B: Exercise 3x a week for 5 weeks C. Exercise 3x a week for 4 weeks D. Exercise 3x a week for 3 weeks F.
