This my new and improved, fiercely focused battle log, in which I stop dabbling, get tough, and pursue mastery. This challenge is a continuation of the Major Quest I started at the beginning of 2014 - "Becoming the Shadow Lion" - and I expect to deliver noticeable progress in several specific areas by May 30th. This is my seventh challenge, and the third (of at least seven) this quest cycle. My Commitment for 2014 is to participate in seven consecutive NF challenges with the following definite aim: To overcome my current limitations and (physical disability, bad habits, faulty beliefs and attitudes) attain a high level of fitness and a healthy body weight, through a strategic combination of healthy eating, targeted physical activity, and systems design. ~ My Aim is Driven by My Motivation ~ I resolve to not die with my best dreams and work still inside me For I can bring beauty, joy, and healing into the world through my art, music, and writing ~ To accomplish My Aim, I must pursue My Main Quest with drive, determination, and discipline ~ "I am as unstoppable as the Shadow Lion!" This is my new battle cry when tempted to skip training, indulge in sugary foods, or slack on my practicing... Day by day, I plan to gamify my challenge and draw inspiration from the best qualities of my hero and literary creation, Ariel ha' Cathach, the "Shadow Lion." Note: Major rewriting has been occurring and my protagonist has a new moniker. I plan to continue as ShadowLion for Nerd Fitness purposes, for simplicity's sake, and just because I like it. I will still be modeling my fitness, health and creative pursuits after my protagonist, as she's still a "ranger's ranger" who's kickass fit, doesn't take "No" or "You can't" for an answer, never gives up on her main objective, and always, always, always follows her heart. She is utterly committed to her friends and family, and believes in herself and her mission.
