Well guys, the worst part of my job just kinda overlapped with one of my goals for this challenge, hence the title. Let me tell you, sacrificing those suckers for research is the worst. You expect Pinkie and the Brain, but really you just feel bad about yourself. So goal one: Begging Forgiveness for the Crimes Against Murine Kind. Last challenge, I started the habit of praying mindfully every day. Admittedly, this is a stepping stone to a sort of epic quest I have been wanting for a while. I am beginning the process of becoming Catholic, and I'm setting everything into motion by the end of Zero Week. So this goal is read the Bible Three times a week while continuing to pray. Not just small passages, but good chunks. I need to understand more, especially moving into this. It's also terrifying moving into this for me, even though I know it's what I want. Goal two: Gotta Save Dat Money Aside from generally appreciating the comedy rap genius that is 'Lil Dickey, I need to be more mindful of my spending. Grad school doesn't pay the best, and I see some expenses on the immediate and far horizons. So for this goal, I'm limiting myself to eating out twice a week (travel weeks, this may be a bit difficult, maybe 3 times a week). Finally, Continue Strength I need to round out this waving volume cycle and identify whatever changes or adjustments I'll need before the RCIA courses start after Labor Day. I'm excited to see if this program can actually deliver on the expected 10% increase on lifts. If not, I'll adjust it to focus only on squat and OHP, hitting bench and deadlift on the in between days. Also, sorry guys, I'm not cool enough (or creative enough) to them my challenges yet
