This is my first challenge here as I recently joined. Really liked the druid class and you all seem like a really supportive bunch. I recently hit 256lbs which is the heaviest I have ever been and decided I needed to start making some changes and get in shape. I have never "worked out" and I join a gym last week and started HIT classes 3 days a week. I do have a bit of social anxiety so going to the gym and a yoga class is a pretty big deal, but it says start pushing yourself and get more comfortable, so that's what I am doing. Main Quest I will lose 10lbs in 6 weeks by going to the gym for HIT training 3 days a week. (0lbs lost = F 10lbs lost =A more than 10 A+)I will stop eating so much crappy food and switch over putting my self at a minimum of 60% of my diet as paleo by the end of the 6 weeks. (more than 1 non paleo meal + snack per day drops it by a full grade each week, 1 non paleo meal a day + non paleo snack per week = A)I will go for a 30 minute walk every Sunday. (Not going = F going = A)I will drink at least 40 oz of water a day AND only have 1 soda per week. ( I hate water.. that being said, hitting goal every day = A, missing goal drops it a letter grade for the week) Side Quest I will start a yoga class on my day off and attend every week in order to be more flexible and explore a more spiritual side of myself.
