After many weeks of fighting rats in the dungeons Vasilis found himself out in the world look for a place to hone his newfound skills and to seek like minded friends to train together and enjoy this world. His travels brought him word of a group of rangers off in the fields who had a fort where they gathered to train and to grow and to complete quests to defend the world. So he made his way there working hard to reach them and having found them entered the fort hailing all who he saw and knew he would feel right at home. For this challenge I still am maintaining my initial Quest of getting down to 180 lbs or fitting comfortably into 34/30 jeans, whichever comes first. I have a more athletic and strong build so when I have eliminated belly fat (my true ultimate goal) then I may not weigh 180 but I should be able to fit in 34/30s or even 32/30s it'll depend. So my true goal is to get rid of belly fat and be thinner and much more toned but the measurable goal is 180 lbs or fitting comfortably into 34/30s. To reach this goal I am going to take on these three quests: Quest 1: Use Xbox Fitness on Tuesday Thursday and Saturday, doing MOSSA Fight 1 (MMA Cardio) on Tuesday, MOSSA Power (MMA Strength) on Thursday, and MOSSA Fight 2 (MMA Cardio) on Saturday. This should provide a good mix of Cardio and Strength training as well as a good mix up of different exercises and lots of fun [+3 Con, +2 Str] Quest 2: Do the Star Wars workout on Monday and Friday. I will start with everything at Padawan and increase to the next level of each type of exercise as I am able. This should provide some good strength and flexibility training to support the Xbox Fitness workouts. [+2 Str, +2 Dex] Quest 3: Track my Calories using MyFitnessPal App every day and stay within the calories they suggest (not go over at all) I will allow one day a week to go over (not by much). I will also look at the specific areas like sodium carbs sugar etc. that they provide on the App to make sure it is healthy calories I am eating not just a small amount of bad calories. [+3 Wis] Life Quest: My life quest is to go running with my wife at least 2 times a week to provide good exercise and time together and to have us both at least signed up for a 5K by the end of the challenge (only because I don't know if there will be a 5K in our area in the next 6-weeks). [+2 Con, +1 Cha] In order to track success I will be using the percentile bars in my signature giving myself percentages for every completed workout. If all goes well I should end up with a 100% on each exercise. I will grade myself using school system grading: 91-100% = A 81-90% = B 71-80% = C 61-70% = D Below 60% = Fail. Let's Do This Thing!

So great news on my health front! I have been periodically weighing myself. The last 6-week challenge I did not watch what I ate at all and ended up gaining weight from 208 up to 215. This was because I was not watching calories and was instead just gaining muscle and fat together. However this time by both watching my calories AND exercising regularly I have just weighed in at exactly 204 pounds meaning from the start of this 6-week challenge to now I have lost 11 pounds! and I look and feel fitter than I have in years!! Looking forward to seeing where this fitness regimen will take me over the next year!
