***UNDER CONSTRUCTION**** MAIN QUEST Strengthen the Body, Mind and Soul Start to get stuff in order and become a proper adult Hobbit. "Slow down, Short One. Take a deep breath and relax. Too hasty, young hobbit." Treebeard laughed a deep belly laugh. Kay knew he was right though. She had been training so hard and working so long, she had stressed herself out to the point of collapse. Wrangling 2 little hobbits could be work enough! She was also training for her epic adventure and still working to put food on the table and keep house. All of these had suffered recently and she knew she needed to get back on track. It didn't help that the innkeeper where they lived hounded her night and day! She and her husband liked to call her Smaug behind her back. Smaug was obsessed with money and was constantly harassing them about the rent due and food. Every time Kay went home from training she felt like she had to put on armour for a battle with the dragon. Anger and frustration coursed through her veins and she was hating it. SIDE QUESTS *Meditate/Yoga/Spell work - Do at least 1 of these once a day* (18 out of 28) After a long walk with the ancient Ent, they decided that to calm her soul and temper she should focus her energy daily toward grounding herself. Plant roots in the rich soil of the earth and release all of that pent up negativity. She would meditate daily with the Ent and focus her energies toward the positive changes she wished to make in her life. Kay will work to increase the amount of time she is able to focus and meditate, slowly building on the previous day. She will also work to complete a yoga session at least once a week. Lastly she would work spells to assist her in completing her goals, helping to focus positive energy in increasing her income, getting a better job where she is happy, and toward eliminating her debts. *Strength Train or Bodyweight Train - Do at least 3 times a week.* (3 out of 12) "Broom rah! It would not hurt to get stronger and get out the negativity by lifting and continue to work towards your strength goals. " The Ent knew what he was talking about, so Kay agreed that she would strength train 3 times a week and use those times as an outlet for her anger and aggression. She would through heavy medicine balls, swings kettle bells, and all the time imagine slamming the weights down on her enemies. *Walk 25 Miles a week - Mostly outside* ( 76 out of 100)(25+25+26+0) "Walking also cleanses the soul, Short One. I suggest that you walk more than you did last month. Try to walk at least 25 miles a week and breath in the fresh air with your kids. You have a carriage and I believe that they should enjoy nature as well. They might even meet an Ent on the way!" So it was decided that Kay would walk more this month and try to get most of those miles in while spending time with the little ones. They loved taking in the beautiful sights and watching the other Men who wandered the neighborhood. *Domestic Rangering - Complete as Follows Kids Bedtime Routine (21 out of 28) Vacuum (3 out of 4) Laundry (10 out of 12) Litter Change (2 out of 8) Dishes (16 of out 28) Home Cooked Meals (17 out of 20) "You must not continue to neglect your household duties either, Short One. Make a list and mark them off each week as you complete them. The kids need a set routine at night-stick to it every night to make your life easier. Vacuum, sweep and do laundry at least three times a week. The cat area always smells so bad! Clean out the cat litter at least twice a week. And don't let the dishes pile up! Clean those every day before the kids go to sleep. Don't want to wake them! And lastly they really need a good home cooked meal at least 5 nights a week. Set up a system that works so you can make sure they are eating properly and so are YOU!" Treebeard folded his arms and looked patiently at Kay, who grumbled knowing that he was right but hating it all the same. She hated chores with a loathing passion! But she was an adult hobbit and needed to act like it. What sort of hobbit can't cook? She needed to fix that. *Pay off $2k in debt by the end of the challenge* ($2600 out of $2000) "It does not do to allow others to hold debts on you. It's time you buckle down and start paying off those debt, Short One. Free yourself from the stress and worry of owing money to others." With the help of the Ent and her husband Bjorn, Kay knew that she would work hard to meet her goals. Stronger and Wiser, like the old Ent. That was her quest and she would not let him down.
