Work out 3-6 days a week: Pick up heavy things 3-5 days a week. Run 1-3 days a week. I was doing Simple and Sinister last time, and I want to keep that up. I also want to run 3 days a week, but I don't like to run in the cold or indoors, so we'll see how that goes. I'm also looking at new gyms, since my old one closed, so my routine might get changed up. Lose weight: I want to focus on weight loss this month because with it being winter, I don't care as much if losing quickly interferes with workout recovery. My goal is to lose 2-4 pounds in December, which is about average or fast for me. Be aware of what I'm eating at holiday parties, and don't overeat. Eat 1400-1600 calories a day, plus 200 calories for each hour of intensive exercise. A bit of randomness: A poem each day I will write, Five lines to sum up my might. My workouts, my clothes, Talk of where lost weight goes. It'll all show up here for your sight. I thought of doing a limerick a day challenge last time, but I had enough going on that I didn't. I may add a life challenge later. If I miss any days, I need to post multiple limericks other days to make up for it.

Sovellis groaned as he woke up on the hard stone floor of Noor's mountain hut. This wouldn't do. "First thing we need to work on is making a better bed. Stone is not kind to my poor spine," he grumbled, "and I'm guessing we're going to be out here for a while." Stretching the stiffness from his limbs, he got up and looked around. The giant cat was laying on top of Noor, and the dog, Dael, was laying on top of the cat. The sight made him smile. He tried prodding his friend, who appeared to still be asleep. No reaction. So strange, her skin really felt like stone. Sighing, he got dressed and headed out into the cool sunny day. If she was still asleep, he may as well explore a bit and get the lay of the land. <------<<< Okay, so finally getting this post up. I had some family stuff that needed to be taken care of, but now that's out of the way. Still kinda processing stuff, but I think I can finally move forward with the challenge. I've moved over to the assassins because I want to work more on dex based stuff like slacklining. I'm trying to keep going on the habits I've been building in previous challenges, re-trying a failed goal, and adding in some new goals. This challenge will be done partly in conjunction with my friend Noor (her challenge post can be found here: Breaking Stoneshape ) Anyways, here's my goals for this challenge! 1. No Taverns in the Wild Redeux (CON): A = 1 day or less of drinking a week B = 2 days of drinking a week C = 3 days of drinking a week F = more than 3 days 2. Nimble Hunter (DEX): A = 5 days or more a week doing slacklining or archery B = 4 days a week C = 3 days a week 3. Warrior Poet (CHA/INT): Write a limerick a day! A = 38 days B = 32 C = 28 4. Make Ishu Proud (STR/STA): Keep up the strength and cardio training! A = 38 days B = 32 C = 28
