Main Quest: Lose 10 pounds. Based on this chart, I would consider myself an Endomorph. I’m not skinny, and I’ve been told I have ridiculously broad shoulders. One guy asked if I had trouble finding shirts that fit. Given that, my height is 5 feet, 10.6 inches. I currently weigh 241 pounds with an end goal of 180-185ish pounds. With 4 weeks, I would like to lose 8-10 lbs. To do this, I plan to complete the following side quests: Side Quests 1. Eat one vegetable per meal. One vegetable meets the requirement, two is the goal. If I have something that doesn’t really go with the vegetable and I really want to eat it, maybe I’ll make a green drink and down the veggies that way. A – Two vegetables each meal. B – One vegetable each meal. C – Two vegetables in one day. D – One vegetable in one day. F – No vegetables in one day. 2. Get a work out in each day. I will utilize the fitness classes they have at my gym. My wife likes those, so it’ll be sort of like a gym date. If I get lazy, I have a weight bench and a couple free weights so I can do most exercises at home. I’ll also have the Nerd Fitness Bodyweight Workout as a backup. I also want to try out the Zombie Run app. Six days a week, I’ll have a “traditional workout.†Once a week I’ll do something less intense like yoga or do some kind of outdoor activity. A – 7 Workouts in a week B – 6 Workouts in a week C – 4-5 Workouts in a week D – 2-3 Workouts in a week F – 0-1 Workouts in a week Life Quests 1. Complete all assignments for my EMT course ahead of time before they are due. I will complete the readings, block objectives, pre-tests, homework, and post-tests in one week. That way I can devote my time to studying for the block tests and practicing my skills more before I am tested on them. A – Complete homework in 5 days B – Complete homework in 6 days C – Complete homework in 7 days D – Complete homework in 9 days F – Complete homework in >9 days 2. Write 10 pages a week. I like writing and I don’t do it enough. If I didn’t have to worry about money, my profession of choice would be a writer. If I don’t write, I can’t really call myself a writer. I think 10 pages each week is manageable. It’s just a little more than a page a day. A – Complete 12 pages B – Complete 11 pages C – Complete 10 pages D – Complete 9 Pages F – Complete >9 pages
