Hey all, Here's the sitch...Technically, I've started 2 6-week challenges, but never finished them. I got further the second time, but then punked out part way through. So I'm back to do it again, and FINISH it this time! Here's the plan: Main Quest: One Pull-up Support Goal 1: Scooby’s Workshop 5 Phase Pull-up Routine (ha…Scooby’s) http://scoobysworkshop.com/pullups-for-total-beginners/ Support Goal 2: Train Like a Slayer Workouts (because of REASONS) http://erinjerrett-fashionblog.blogspot.com/2012/04/train-like-slayer.html Support Goal 3: Zombies, Run! 5K version (want to be prepared for any Dead Man’s Parties) https://www.zombiesrungame.com/ Side/Life Quest: Replace fast food and soda with packed lunches/home prepared meals and water/coffee/tea. Since I will be doing the Zombies, Run! 5K training, I will also be drinking my favorite coffee, the Reanimator…dun, dun, dunnnn! http://www.justcoffee.coop/catalog/reanimator (This could be considered directly related to the main quest, but really it’s also very related to other things like saving money, building general life skills, developing a creative relationship with food/meals, etc…so that’s my life quest and I’m stickin’ to it.) Motivation: Two part 1) I have some favorite pieces of clothing that I REALY want to be able to wear. (I mean, one of the super fun things about watching Buffy was seeing what everyone was going to wear each week!) My favorite clothes tend toward the following styles: CPUs (Cayce Pollard Units), brooding gay lumberjack, anything Michael wore in the La Femme Nikita television series (c. 1997 – 2001) and sober Buddhist nun attends rock concert (which is more like straight up rock and roll, but not OVERLY). Shallow motivation? Arguably, but seriously try finding awesome clothes in a size 22-24. Yeah. And by yeah, I mean totally No. 2) I have no energy right now and feel wholly lethargic. I want to leap tombstones in a single bound. Go dancing at the Bronze without puffing out after one song. Be FOCUSED while doing late night research sessions. Grading on a standard 90% + A, 80% + B. 70% + C, 60% + D. <60% = FAIL 1 point each Pullup workout = every other day (3 or 4 depending on week) Slayer training = 3 strength workouts, daily cardio workouts, 5 stretching routines Zombies, Run! 5K = 3 runs per week Life Goal = start with 7 points per week. For each indiscretion, lose 1 point Bring on the Apocalypse!

For anyone who is new(ish) or has not successfully completed a 6-week challenge yet. For anyone who is more concerned with being consistent than with being "perfect." For anyone who is focused on the functional nature of workouts (to outrun zombies! To catch up with vampires and dust them!). Most importantly, for anyone who loves geeking out to Buffy and is motivated by The Slayer and The Scooby Gang. We'll see it through, it's what we're always here to do. So we will walk...through...the fi-re. Or run through the graveyard. Or chase bunnies over knee walls. Let's have some fun. disclaimer: tv series only, people. not the movie.
