Battle Log. Here it is! I started this in 2012, inspired by Nerd Fitness. This is what I do instead of challenges now, as it's more long-term. i was doing both, but it was too much paperwork. I'll explain as I earn points in each of the nine areas.

We all die alone. But we don’t have to live that way. Space is lonely enough, and without the support of a good crew, you may just end up crazy as the gorram Reavers. But even they don’t go it alone. For the next six weeks, I will be revamping and revitalizing my relationships with my crew members. I have four specific missions to get me to that point (technically, to follow the new guidelines, 3 goals and a side mission). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mission 1: Become a “stronger†captain. Do the 100 Pushup challenge Right now I can do 30 at a time, although I can do more if I rest in between sets of 10. I want to be able to do 100 all at a time. This is my solo goal. (3 STR, 1 STA) Mission 2: “Refresher†flight training with co-pilot. Complete the Marriage Fitness Program I have a good marriage, but you know the saying, good is the enemy of great. I want to be more intentional in my marriage, so I will be doing a 6-week marriage enrichment program I designed. This goal will be done with TornadoAllie. (3 CHA, 1 WIS) Mission 3: “Coordinate†actions plans with co-pilot and gunner. Learn 3 songs on bass guitar. I have taken a few lessons, but want to do more with it. My wife is in the dame boat with her guitar. My dad just got an electronic drum set and wants to learn to play. So we will be picking three beginner songs and working on them individually so we can al play together in six weeks. This goal will be done with TornadoAllie and NoMoreBull. (3 DEX) Mission 4: Keep “on the run†with my whole crew: copilot, gunner, and mechanic. Run 5K under 30min. We all have different goals for time, but we all will be working on running a 5k by the end of the challenge. I will be training with TornadoAllie, but this goal is also with NoMoreBull and TombRayder. (3 STA, 1 STR) “When you can't run, you crawl. And when you can't crawl, you find someone to carry you."

Hey, everyone! I'm not sure if this is the proper place for this question, but it seemed as good a place as any to ask. In my household we have a conflict of interest when it comes to food. That conflict of interest, frankly, is me. I love meat. I love the energy it gives me, the taste, everything. I like eating GOOD meat from my local health food store from local farms. Meanwhile, my wife does NOT love meat. She loathes it. Mostly the way it makes her feel. She never feels well after eating meat, even if it's "good" meat. She can bear chicken on occasion, but that's about it. So basically, I'm a omnivore living with a herbivore. And I don't mind eating veggies/vegetarian meals. They're good for me, they taste good, and my wife cooks them, so that's a bonus x 10000. However, I've been considering wanting to try the Paleo diet for a month. My main aim is cutting out sugar, because I feel like I consume too much. Unfortunately, Paleo for my wife isn't feasible, as she detests meat. What I'm looking for here is tips for a dual-diet household. Is it feasible? Affordable? Manageable? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!
