Before I start, I would like to say, "hi" to all of the druids. I am switching from Adventurer to be a Druid although I guess I am a weird Druid/Warrior hybrid. I am looking forward to working with you all! So, my first challenge didn't go so well. Like I didn't even finish it. I learned from my mistakes however. Like first, I am not going to be overly ambitious and I am going to set what I hope are realistic goals. Second, I am going to be a little more forgiving on myself, if I stumble I will keep going. So with all of that being said, here are my goals for this challenge. 1. Practice yoga 3 times a week. This can be either a hot flow vinyasa class or it can be Ashtanga. I would love to be able to just do Ashtanga, but it just isn't feasible with my work and the studio that I go to. However there is another studio that I go to in the mornings (M-Th) that has a hot flow class from 6 -7 am and that works out really well. A=18-15 times, B=14-10 times, C=9-5 times, D=4-2 times, F=1-0 times Dex +2, Con +1, Wis +2 2. Lift 3 times a week: 3 day split: legs, chest/back, arms/shoulders. This is a new routine and I am loving it, just need to stick with the schedule. Right now I am looking at doing chest/back on Mon, arms/shoulders on Wed, and legs on Fri. A=18-15 times, B=14-10 times, C=9-5 times, D=4-2 times, F=1-0 times Str +3 3. Running HIIT 2 times a week, 10 reps of 15 sec on and 45 sec rest. So I am not a fan of running, but I do really enjoy HIIT running. I am good for the first 5-6 sets, but after that, it becomes a little trying. A=12-10 times, B=9-7 times, C=6-4 times, D=3-2 times, F=1-0 times Dex +1, Stam +2 4. Volunteer with Habitat 4 Humanity once a week. There are a number of reasons for this. I live in OK and the city of Moore which is just north of me by about 6 miles got devastated by a tornado on May 20th, and I really want to do my part to help out those who's lives were effected by this tragedy. I believe that if you do good works, you get good things in return. It will be an opportunity to meet new people that I might not have met otherwise. I really want to learn basic skills like carpentry, masonry, etc. and they will give you free hands on training. A=6-5 times, B=4-3 times, C=2 times, D=1 time, F=0 times Wis +2, Cha +2 I am not going to make meditation a goal for this challenge, but I am still going to attempt to do it every day for at least 10 mins. I'm not going to grade myself on it or be too harsh on myself if I miss a day though. Maybe next challenge I will try to revisit that goal...we will see.
