( original art from Marvel's She-Hulk Vol: 3--- text and color edit by me). From the start of all of this I had one goal in mind: I want to get a hold of my health again. I want to not be afraid to risk taking a job in fear of not being able to pull my weight because of my illness. I don't want this disease to define who I am, because for a while, it has. CHALLENGE THREE : BOOM!! BOOM!! BRAKOOOMM!!!!! Now that I'm finally willing my RA into submission; it's time to bring out the big guns... or the longbows. Whichever comes first. ...besides, this is my 25th year on this planet, it's time to make it AWESOME.

CHALLENGE TWO : DEFEATING DOCTOR DOOM Main Quest: Medical Remission of Rheumatoid Arthritis October 2, 2014: Showing signs of medical remission, under doctor's watch I am beginning to taper off the strongest of medications. Lowering dosage by .1 ml every three months unless told otherwise. October 21, 2014: First week of lowered dosage. Lessened side effects, usual exhaustion and sickness dissipated within 3 days but was able to complete full sessions at the gym and eat whole meals during this time. Side Quest: Lose 65lbs (45lbs by my Birthday December 27th). October 28: 220lbs September 30: 225lbs August 22: 237lbs July 25: 245lbs Edit: I will lose the weight when I lose it. This is about getting healthy, strong, and going into remission. I am not a contestant on the biggest loser. Quest 1: Foraging in an unknown forest. Continue the food log and eating whole foods; it's not going to be easy for me to really focus on my macros when I'm away, so I'm going to try and stick as close to my plan as possible. I'm also aiming to really try and eliminate processed sugars this challenge. Honey, molasses, fruit, and stevia are all safe. Quest 2: Deceive with the power of the mind. I've signed myself up for NaNoWriMo.... and I haven't even written a word. I'm not worrying so much about hitting 50k, but I want to write (at least) a novella. I believe I can do that in two weeks. So, I'm going to start the first day of the challenge... and then just keep writing until the end (giving me 6 weeks of writing time). Better late than never. Quest 3: Beat down with physical prowess and endurance. I pledge to exercise EVERY OTHER DAY with a combination of BWO and jogging (then running). My desire is to be able to run or jog for at least three straight minutes on flat ground by the end of all of this (I can only manage 30 second intervals right now). I am able to complete one mile in eleven minutes on an elliptical, but that's way different. Also, gotta work those hand stands so I can give Daredevil a run for his money.
