Hello everyone! I'm brand new to this but can't wait to get started - I've been seeking something that can push me to excel that isn't boring. Just to introduce myself: I sort of recently started a new job as a designer in a new city and love to work out. My name comes from the game League of Legends - I'm not pro, but I like to think I am! I main as Lux. This is why Nerd Fitness is perfect for me! Now to the goals! Fitness/Health Quest: 1. Run 15 miles a week. To be honest, anything more than that totally stresses me out. That's 5 miles 3 times a week, 2 miles 5 times a week with a 5 miler on a weekend, or even a long 10 mile weekend run with two easy 2.5 mile days! The pressure to run after work is sometimes too great for me. I think this is manageable with still enjoying my passion to run. And 15 is a great mathematical number. Will track with my handy Nike Running app! A+ More than 15 miles a week A 15 miles B 12 miles C 8 miles D 6 miles F Anything under 6. Reward: (+2 DEX +2 STA) 2. Do 3 pull-ups. Right now, I can't even fathom doing just one! I really need to work on my arm strength, and I will follow the Nerd Fitness guide to pull-ups to get there! Note: my company graciously provides a group trainer that comes every day for an hour at lunch! He focuses on free weights, lifting, cardio, abs . . . everything! But, no pull-up bar. I already work with him as often as I can, so now at home I need to tackle these pull-ups! I'll track I guess by uploading a video of myself? Makes me uncomfortable but I guess that's solid proof! A+ 5 pull-ups . . . if I can do 3 I can do 5, right? A 4 pull-ups B 3 pull-ups C 2 pull-ups D 1 pull-up F 0 . . . boo! Reward: (+2 STR +2 STA) 3. Yoga weekends. Let's be honest: yoga in the big city is EXPENSIVE. I just recently took a Bikram yoga class with an awesome $40 groupon, but it expired and now I'm left wanting more. But, expense shouldn't prevent me from doing yoga when there are so many free apps out there! I am going to do yoga on weekends to replace the classes. I also used to be a jazz dancer and I am terrified of losing my flexibility. This acts as my meditation and staying flexible. Will track with . . . ? Advice? I'm not taking a video of me doing yoga! A+ Yoga twice a week! What!? Yes! A Yoga and a good stretching session B Yoga once a week C Stretching Session D-F Nothing. Nada. Zip. Reward: (+2 CON +2 WIS) Life Quest: 4. Write my stress away. I may have a few little anxiety problems here and there. (By a few I mean I need to see a doctor.) The best way I've learned to deal with them is to write it out, or, communicate it some way. If everything is down on paper it's not in my brain. I'm going to try to write in my journal to get everything out and sorted. Will track via message board! A+ Write 5 times a week A Write 4 times a week B Write 3 times a week C Write 2 times a week D Write 1 time a week F No writing! What! If you just read all this let's be friends haha! I'm going to print this out and really keep track. I can do this! Attributes: Strength (STR): 1 Dexterity (DEX): 2 Stamina (STA): 3 Constitution (CON): 2 Wisdom (WIS): 4 Charisma (CHA): 3 Total: 15 | Level 1
