“My name is WantMy$2. For four weeks I was stranded on an island at home after open brain surgery with only two goals: survive and thrive. But to do that, I can't be the lazy, doing it half a$$ed, person I once was. To be who I want to be and there for my family, I must be someone else. I must be something else. I must be a Ranger.” Hello there. After giving in to my son a while back and starting to watch the first couple seasons of Arrow, as well as a recent interest in Crossfit type training, I had considered switching to the Ranger guild. I don’t find myself to be locked into one type of training, going along with the “Jack of all trades” as Nerd Fitness describes it. Before making the switch from the Rebels challenges I had been attempting but never following through with over the last year, I had to finish one. I did this the last four weeks. It was an easy challenge, basically I had to do a five minute walk, meditation, or yoga daily and turn in all assignments for school. I set it up easy as I was home recovering from open brain surgery where they went in, dug around, and clamped off an aneurysm in a couple places. The starting of this four week challenge will be the weekend before I return to work. Feeling better, I have to remind myself that I am still recovering. I have to keep that in mind as I set my goals and not be too ambitious. I really see this as a starting over point for me and I wiped the last year’s worth of the Nerd Fitness Academy quests clean. Starting over. With that, some of my goals will be basic NFA quests. Goals: Nutrition Goals Complete NF Nutrition Level 1 by tracking all meals. (28 pts. possible) At least 64 oz of water per day.
