In my quest to Be The Awesome I need to start over after that mess that was 2014. As everyone should know, all good beginnings start with a training montage, right? Disclaimer: I've not actually watched either of those movies, I just YouTube'd training montages. /noshame I'll update the goals below as I go along with what I've achieved. With regards to scoring, I won't be rounding up. For example, with my first goal if I only have 24 Paleo meals, it's still counted as 0%. Harsh, but so is life. Goal 1: Eat 80/20 Paleo (CON - 3 points) What this means: Going by the three meals a day rule, there'll be 126 main meals during the challenge. Rounding up, to 100% achieve this goal 101 meals need to be Paleo. Scoring: 100% (101 meals) = 3 points 75% = (75 meals) = 2.25 points 50% (51 meals) - 1.5 points 25% (25 meals) = 0.75 points 0% (0 meals) = 0 points Meals acheived so far: 13/101 Score: 0% Comments: This is harder than I thought it was going to be. More planning required. Goal 2: Train with weights 2x a week (STR - 5 points) What this means: I thought about putting a time limit on this goal but that's not going to work well with how I'm braining right now. For me, this involves getting outside and lifting my dumbbell's or my barbell. I'll most likely combine this with my Quest for Life goals of reaching 60kg in my deadlift and squat and reaching 30kg on my bench press, clean & jerk and snatch. Scoring: 100% (12 sessions) = 5 points 75% (9 sessions) = 3.75 points 50% (6 sessions) = 2.5 points 25% ( 3 sessions) = 1.25 points 0% (0 sessions) = 0 points Sessions achieved so far: 1/12 Score: 0% Comments: Goal 3: Participate in an SCA training session each week (STR - 3 points, CHA - 2 points) What this means: For those not in the know, SCA stands for Society of Creative Anachronism. As I need a hobby now that I have time for a life, I've decided to rejoin things. Generally the two groups closest to me hold their training on a Sunday but in case that changes I've left it as each week. I've also just remembered that I could go to the College training sessions, which will be helpful for one of the Sunday's where there is a meeting on. I have a rapier blade and a bow (but no arrows, luckily there are loaners!) I'd prefer to start with archery but I'm not sure I can pull the bow I have now... *goes off to check* ... nope, I can't even string the sucker to check. Someone might be able to do that for me though, so I can still make attempts and grow stronger doing so! Scoring: 100% (6 sessions) = 3 points STR, 2 points CHA 75% (5 sessions) = 2.25 points STR, 2.5 points CHA 50% (3 sessions) = 1.5 points STR, 1 points CHA 25% (1 session) = .75 points STR, .5 points CHA 0% (0 sessions) = 0 points STR, 0 points CHA Sessions achieved so far: 1/6 Score: 25% Comments: Archery is fun ouchies. Sub Goal 1: Go to bed before 10pm (CON - 2 points) What this means: Pretty basically, be in my bed by 10pm. I'm not going to say be asleep, and I can even be watching a movie (to hopefully put me to sleep) but I will be in that bed by 10pm. Scoring: 100% (42 nights) = 2 points 75% (31 nights) = 1.5 points 50% (21 nights) = 1 points 25% (11 nights) = .5 points 0% (0 nights) = 0 points Sleepybye's achieved so far: 6/42 Score: 0% Comments: I'm doing it, but it's not working out how I planned. Motivation Antro asked me to update my post with motivation... so, why do I want this? I want to have energy/fitness to do things instead of being tired all the time. I want to look good naked. And have people wish they could see me naked =P I want my clothes to fit. I want to have to use less fabric to make my garb.
