Overarching Long-term Goal: Get to ~25% body fat Goal 1: Training Last challenge I had a goal of finding a new place to lift and getting under the weights at least once/week. I did that so now I’d like to up it to at least twice per week… ooOOOooo I’d like to continue incorporating cardio, yoga, and BW circuits in my training. Plus we got a sweet pull up bar for Christmas that is all set up! I’ve done probably a total of three jumping chin up holds… Ultimately, I’d like to get the following in in each week: 2 weights sessions1 yoga session1-2 cardio sessions2-3 BW circuit sessions Goal 2: Food Depending on how much I work out each week, I’d like to stay within 13,300 total cals. Given that, this goal also includes some other restrictions: Continue with NO packaged crap candy from the work jarLimit TWO pints of ice cream over the six weeks – last challenge I don’t think I bought one pint of ice cream (yay!) but ice cream in general was definitely eaten at the sporadic party/eventStay below 30% fat for the weekDon’t buy non-paleo items at the grocery storeNote that Clark Gregg is holding sriracha in that pic Goal 3: Life Just a few things I need to get done over the next six weeks. There’s not too much on my calendar so I should have plenty of time to tackle them. Work on (or finish) at least one item per week. Purchase and implement a double-tiered lazy susan – I have the bed/bath gift card I just need to get the damn thingTake down and pack up the holiday decorationsReturn/swap xmas gifts for the correct sizesClean bathroom – deep cleanSort file cabinet and old receiptsDe-clutter dresser surface and nightstand drawers

DOSSIER The S.H.I.E.L.D, Agent codenamed 5C0T (heretofore described as "asset") has displayed tenacity and creative problem solving skills. Asset continues to explore long term goals to improve overall physical fitness. (See also Infinity Formula and Project M.A.E. [middle age extension].) To this end asset faces several challenges over the next six weeks. KEEP MOVING Asset exceeded goals for physical fitness session participation during the past six weeks. However, the asset did not take advantage of off days. Therefore, asset is challenged to continue following proscribed thrice-weekly body weight workout regimen and to stretch daily. In addition, asset is challenged to "move" during off days. "Moving" can be defined as a short walk of a half hour or more, sprints, yoga, or combat challenges, described below. Asset has personal goals for the proscribed body weight workout regimen (improving repetitions by 50%): Assisted Chin up (@30#) 8x4; Squats 75 x 4; Side Plank @ 60 sec x 2; Push Ups 15 x 4; Lunges 18 x 4; Planks @ 90 sec. x 4. However, asset is to be graded by participation: points scored by days moving for a possible total of 42 points. [sTR +5] IT'S NOT A COMBAT MISSION Asset is not cleared for combat, but because of an incentive program (See GROUPON), has access to 10 Krav Maga lessons. Each lesson the asset participates in over the six weeks is worth 5 points. For a total possible total of 50 points, though the asset seems unlikely to fit all 10 lessons into 6 weeks. Asset may have access to other fight style training via Medieval Swordplay and Gladiator combat training courses offered by allies. If available, each would be worth 2 points and only one per week would count. This could yield "extra credit" of 12 additional 2 points. [CON +5] THE BIZARRE, THE STRANGE, THE UNKNOWN Asset started the year detoxifying from formula MTN DEW. Asset was re-exposed in July and the asset has since failed to cleanse the toxin from the system. The additives involved in MTN DEW make the formula suspect to asset's stated physical fitness goals. Therefore asset shall earn points for each day not doing the DEW. This yields a possible 42 points. [sTA +5] ORGANIZATIONAL STYLE Agents are expected to maintain a certain level of style. As such, asset is expect to purge wardrobe of ill fitting and ill mended clothing and to maintain clean, organized surfaces in private quarters. THE WHOLE WORLD IS IN ON THE ACTION Also, as asset bores easily with proscribed fitness programs, expect asset to reach out to the Community for ideas to spice up training. ASSET RANKING Each effort will be rated as such: A 42 - 39 pts B 38 - 35 pts C 34 - 31 pts D 30 - 27 pts Failure 26 or fewer points
