Since my last challenge was interrupted by the early arrival of our new bundle of joy, I'm now dealing with being a dad for the second time around. My sleep schedule has been shot, my workout schedule has fallen to the wayside, my productive output has been greatly reduced, my weight loss goals are in flux--and yet I've never been happier in my life. Challenge-specific goals to come, ASAP.

YOU are invited to join The Renaissance Rebels for fitness, fun, creativity, and camaraderie! (Plus a puzzle, if you are so inclined.)

This time I am continuing my previous quest and kicking it up a modest notch with more specificity to stretch myself. I reserve the right to tweak these a bit until the start of the challenge, but not afterward. Main Quest: My main quest is still to get healthy and develop the habits to stay that way. If I can lose another ten pounds and have more energy, I will be very happy. Main Side Quests: M1. Track calories daily, averaging 1400/day (+200 on Cardio Days). M2. No eating between 9PM and 8AM. M3. Floss and fluoride rinse daily. M4. Weight training twice weekly, cardio once weekly. Life Quest: I will be continuing my creative goals and adding some much-needed organization. Hopefully by the end of six weeks I will have three novel outlines and a new job. Life Side Quests: L1. Achieve and maintain zero email inbox. L2. Sort and file incoming snail mail. L3. Submit 5 resumes weekly. L4. Create one novel outline every 2 weeks. Here's to continued health, happiness, and success for everyone!

I'm just curious if any fellow rebels are going to be going out to Scarborough this year. It's in full swing right now and is going on every weekend till May 27th.
