I am The Bishop. I'm trying to get stronger,faster and more agile. I've been practicing Martial Arts for ten years now, and gymnastics before that. However, after about three years of neglect and a horrible diet, I reached 228lbs, and couldn't do a single push up or run for more than a couple of minutes. This past mid September, I started to change my diet, moving away from grains and sugary foods. I lost about 14lbs from then until now, without any form of exercise. Along with my weight, I also lost a lot of strength, due to muscle mass loss. In order to get stronger, I've decided to join a community that pushes each other to be better than they were yesterday; in short, this community.Since this is my first Challenge, I've decided to pick a slightly more general Main Quest, and then next challenge do something more specific. Main Quest Increase my upper body strength Goals to reach my Main Quest Complete a 45 minute workout, three times a week. Have a Paleo diet 5/7 days a week. Wake up every day at 5am, go to bed before 11pm. ​Side Quests Perform 3 pull upsPerform 20 push upsCook and eat six Paleo inspired dishes ( one a week!).​ I may do some mini-challenges if I can, and post them on my thread. The reason I want to get stronger, faster and more agile, is so I can start practicing a little Parkour, maybe get back into gymnastics. I also just want to be stronger and look leaner. Hopefully, this will be the start of many challenges completed, and many miles traveled. Awesome.
