Quest Notes This is my first challenge. As an aspiring assassin/druid, I am working on getting stronger, gaining endurance, and eating more real food. I'm also crusading for my cutie mark (working on having more fun, growing friendships and community, doing less of the "fun" things that drain my energy and more of the fun things that feed me, and discovering my passions). Currently I am trying to find a job and am insanely broke, so I don't have the money to buy food and am pretty much depending on what's in the pantry for the next couple of weeks, hence the lack of food-related goals for now (next challenge!). Since I'm starting late, I'm considering this my level ½ challenge, hehehe Main Quest: Build Momentum My main quest is to lose 100 lbs by my 28th birthday (December 23, 2015). I'm not sure what my main quest is yet, other than to get stronger and healthier. I'm still working out the specifics. For the next few months, I want to build momentum to get things going. I suck at commitment and follow-through, and I'm beginning at the very beginning, so small steps are the most important right now. That means, for this challenge: 1. Exercise 30 minutes every day. I plan to break it up into 15-minute chunks and do a mix of hooping, dancing, stretching, and body weight exercises. A: 30 mins x 32 days B: 30 mins x 24-31 days C: 30 mins x 16-23 days D: 30 mins x 8-15 days F: 30 mins x 0-7 days 2. Lose 8 pounds. A: 8lb loss B: 6-7 lb loss C: 4-5 lb loss D: 2-3 lb loss F: 0-1 lb loss 3. Drink no more than one coke per day. I'm measuring this by day AND number - so to win I'd have to have 32 days with only one coke, no drinking five cokes one day and zero the next. A: 32 or fewer days with one coke B: 24-31 days C: 16-23 days D: 8-15 days F: 0-7 days Life Quest: Crusade for my Cutie Mark Try new things and do more of the fun/play things I already enjoy. I'd love to make this a group or club eventually, because crusading is more fun with friends. In the interest of building momentum, only 2 points can be earned per day (so again, no cheating by doing 5 crusades one day, 0 crusades the next). Each activity is worth one point, and the types of things I'm counting are: going to social and religious events, time with friends, try something fun that's new, do something fun and that I already love but want to make more time for (i.e. reading, writing, writing letters to friends, etc.). A: 32+ points B: 24-31 points C: 16-23 points D: 8-15 points F: 0-7 points What's Your Motivation? I want to feel better. I am disabled and used to being tired and in pain all the time. Some of that can't be helped, but some of it can. It's easy to disengage, desensitize, and cut myself off - it's sometimes a necessary coping mechanism, but/and it also can be maladaptive. I want to be around for awhile and outlive the common life expectancy in my family (50-60 years old). I have an amazing life and I want to be alive, awake, engaged, and able to participate in it. If nothing else, I want to be here for my partners, sisters, and nieces. I want to help create a world that is better for young people than it was for me during my childhood and teen years and I need energy and strength to do that!
