Little late off the starting block; but here it goes. Main Quest: Lose 10lb in five weeks! Mission #1: Beat the Treats! Acknowledge I’m eating emotionally, and just stop it; worst case, eat a whole bag of carrots instead of a whole package of mini-cupcakes. This is one thing I’ve always had a hard time with; treat consumption. This can be everything from a cookie, to a FiberOne bar, to even just a spoonful (or five) of peanut butter when I’m getting’ all emotional in my head. I’m admittedly an emotional eater. If stress rears its’ ugly head, well, my mouth devours all. I will not completely negate having a treat now and again; it is all about control. A = No binges. +2 CON +2 WIS B = 1 binge. C = 2 binges D = 3 binges F = 4+ Mission #2: Keep working out. Not much of an explanation here. Try and work out at least 30 minutes each day. This would translate into 17.5 total hours within a five week time period. Breaking it down? 17.5 hours = A +2 STR +2 STA +2 DEX 15.5 hours but less than 17.5 hours = B 13.5 hours but less than 15.5 hours = C 11.5 hours but less than 13.5 = D 11.5 and less = F Mission #3: Keep logging what I eat. I thought this worked very well for me last Challenge; and I need to keep it up. Continue to log what I eat daily, no breaks! A = 35 days +2 WIS, +1 CON B = 33 days C = 31 days D = 29 days F= Less than 29 days. Life Goal: Pay off $700 on my card to make room for heating oil this season. This is not only a goal, but a requirement to some regards. Living in Duluth MN, winter stinks for heating; while I have room on my card to just ‘do it’, I need to not let my card get any larger in case of emergencies. +1 CHA +1 WIS Pretty straight forward; little fluff this time around; but need to get this posted as I’m a week late!
