My second Adventurer challenge! I have eked out a living amongst my prehistoric neighbours, but now it's time to move on! With this challenge my time-travelling adventures will try and move on from the prehistoric as I fix my time machine and move to a new era! I tried to get my time machine to work but it malfunctioned and we were sent reeling in two different directions. It appears to be stuck on top of a nearby mountain and I will need to improve myself and my skills to be able to reach it and repair it. Apart from the constant terror of being the tasty treat of a tyrannosaur this era is a beautiful place. I will be pleased to go, but will miss the creatures and landscape dearly. Goals: 1: Get Leaner and Faster (Lose 5% Bodyfat) (+2 CON +2 DEX) If I'm going to spend much longer in this harsh environment I need to get stronger and faster and make sure I can survive. This is part of my New Years Resolution, which is to get my bodyfat down to ~10%, but I'm not sure what number to put down as a goal for my 6 week challenge. I've put 5% at the moment but I might change it depending on how realistic that is. I'm currently at about 20-21% ( up to 25% by the NAVY bodyfat calculator) so I'm not sure if 1/4 of that is realistic. Also the bodyfat numbers at the moment was done with a tape measure rather than with my calipers as I seem to have misplaced them. But I shall try and make another better calculation soon. But I'm planning on sticking to 1800 calories a day and do some high intensity weights/circuits as well as some sports a few times a week, and possibly some running. I will probably eat a little more on the days when I've done an intensive work out but we'll see about that when we come to it. As a point of reference I have taken a picture, which can be seen here: (Warning: Topless Time Travelling Man) http://imgur.com/zffJa 2: Lift a Triceratops (Lift 12 metric tons/26,000 lbs) (+4 STR) The Tyrannosaurus has been moved from the cave and now Based on my success with lifting a T Rex in my last challenge, this time I'm going for a Triceratops! Slightly more weight and as my workout plan will put me in the gym at about 3 times a week I think. I'm going for a new programme at my gym which will help me to get this off the floor quickly. Although for a week or so I'll just be doing bodyweight circuits as I've got to go away for an exam. But when I get back to the gym whatever weights I move for however many sets/reps will all add together to see how quickly I can get to a Triceratops. 3: Make Your Way Up the Mountain (Do A Pull Up) (+3 STR) After the time machine crashed it was left on top of a mountain near where I have made my home, I need to get to it to make my way back through time. RIght, I've had this one for a while and has been on a challenge before. But with my new gym programme and my bodyweight circuits I should be able to do this for this challenge. I've been feeling myself get stronger as every now and again I try and do a pull up. So this time with a new programme, a new challenge and a new diet I am positive that I'll be able to do it! 4: Fix The Time Machine (Spend two hours a day working on a skill) (+4 WIS) The Time Machine is now broken, and I cannot fix it straight away. I need to relearn my skills and sharpen new ones so that I can fix it. This can be anything from working on my writing, a new language, my guitar playing or something new. Once my exam is out of the way from next week I'll have a lot more free time whilst looking for work so as long as I'm looking for work I want to make sure that I don't just procrastinate and aimlessly look on the internet. So apart from looking for jobs and work experience I will be working on my skills new and old! I know this sort of thing is hard to measure so I've decided to take it as how much I do per day. I look forward to another challenge and look forward to helping my fellow rebels!
