Hi All! I haven't been active in a loooong time, and my personal progession shows for it. I've made myself a character sheet, and am back to rock this! It's neat that we're now doing a Mission; I had a "Theme" written up before the new challenge was posted... Main Questline: %BF Reduction to below 10% Motivation: As a former fatty, I successfully lost 50 lbs by going Paleo back in 2010. Since then, I've been slowly recomping, but have kept a spare tire. Ever since I started losing weight, I've wanted to see my abs, to be "done" losing weight. This is my motivation, so that I can close that door for good, and focus on other fitness goals. My attempts at recomping have started to fail as I've neared the long tail. I've gained weight without gaining significant fat (by eyeball at least), so I know I'm building muscle. After some research, I am going to focus on slow-bulking this challenge, and see how that does. the mid-term goal is to slow-bulk until the 6 weeks before christmas, and cut before I go home for the holidays. Goal 1 5CON: For the next 6 weeks, I will eat "whole30 practical". This means I will not consciously eat dairy or industrial foods, but won't be overly worried about it in public. I will focus on Portion Control, not ordering beyond a full meal at a restaurant, and waiting after eating at home. Goal 2 3STR/1DEX/1STA: For the next 6 weeks, I will weight train 3x a week. I will perform some form of cardio 2x a week. I will have one rest day. Goal 3 3WIS/2CON: For the next 6 weeks, I will log all food intake & exercise on MyFitnessPal, and I will log all exercise on Fitocracy. This will allow me to properly track net calories, and progression on my strength training. Life Quest: Having just moved a bout a month ago, I'm committing to going out and doing something "social" once a week. This is either doing something with one of the Meetup groups I joine,d the local game store, or similar. Have to get out of my comfort zone & make friends. Am I supposed to assign attributes to my Life Quest? If so, 4CHA, 1WIS? Any feedback on my point distribution is welcome. Also, I'd like to get into a squad, but not sure how those work, so let me know what I should do there!
