Hey folks, first time doing a log like this so let's see how it goes. I'm doing a monk ranger type hybrid, and my little training notebook isn't makin the cut anymore. - I'm gonna try to post my training, and most of my meals (I sometimes forget what I eat because I'm a college student who don't cook most of my meals). - for training I do a little bit of martial arts almost every day. I do light cardio most days too, and I've got a schedule of calisthenics and lifting that I'll post eventually. I'm just trying to get as well rounded a training system as I can to support my martial arts. Speaking of I train in taekwondo (just got 1st Dan woot) as well as a little Hung Gar Kung fu and Judo because I like variety.

I am a jack of all trades by nature. I cannot focus. Trying to do so has spelled disaster for me in the past. So I am going to play to my strengths... by which I mean do a whole bunch of stuff at the same time, even if I only advance one at a time. But every bit of improvement piles up in the end, right? Previously on Wizard in the making: Last challenge, erosan returned to the Kingdom. He went ahead and settled in his new tower, if in an old neighborhood. He spent most of the first cycle honing his sketching skills, because every wizard worth his mana knows drawing is great practice for when you need to draw arcane symbols of power. Although he did not take good care of his body, he didn't abuse it either, and through a hectic turn of events, erosan discovered the long forgotten power of universe creation. A wizard has no qualms in dabbling in arcane knowledge. ALL knowledge is power, and power is prized. That said, a proper wizard prioritizes, plans and schemes all the time. Foolish mortals think they do it in complex and impossible to understand patterns. Wizards know best. They use the ancient magic of RANDOM. Currently Training Disciplines of the body: Walking - running did not work, so adjust the goal. QUEST: Walk 2 times a week (Walking is my prefferred way of locomotion, so here I mean walking as exercise, not walking to the store) Calesthenics - Again. Try again, scale down, build up. QUEST: bodyweight exercises, 2 times per week. Primal living - EAT PRIMAL, LGN. (This used to be my goal and motivation, and I'm walking under this flag once more). QUEST: eat primal at least 3 times a week. Disciplines of the mind: Rationality - Since the current sequence is math heavy, I'll allow more room to digest each article. QUEST: Read 1 per week, minimum. Reading - I have neglected too much my second love, and the consequences are brutal: Ive got a huge pile of book to be read, because although I did not have the time, as a booklover I never stopped buying them. (And if I have to explain to you why there is no such things as too many books, I think you are looking in the wrong thread). QUEST: Read 3 or 4 books from the backlog before the end of this 4wc. More is better of course. Disciplines of the hand: Crafting - I've discovered that GMing is fun when you have props. Kids loves them, and I love making them. Creating something from nothing is always rewarding. QUEST: Create the props needed to narrate the 2 game sessions *on the 15th and 29th. Sewing - Go one step further. Before the end of the 4wc, create a piece of clothing for the first time. QUEST: make a pair of trousers, or a tshirt, or something. Anything. Disciplines of the soul: Drawing - keep on practicing! Study some anatomy or something! Tale teller - QUEST: Survive the next 2 role playing sessions *and hopefully create a story worth telling in the process. My updated IRL Character sheet:

Hi all! My name is Morgan, known as mindelann online. (What up all you Tortallans out there!) I'm a cis female, 22, 5'5", and overweight. I'm a Gryffindor and ESFJ. I'm dealing with depression, finishing up university, and moving out to NYC from MN. I keep meaning to "try" to get healthy, but as Master Yoda says "Try not. Do or do not, there is no try." (I know, I know, we've all heard that a million times, but hey, I'm re-watching Star Wars right now so shush. ) I want to be a knight, be it medieval or Jedi, but I believe a knight must be able to be flexible, so I plan on joining the Rangers, a good match of strength and endurance. I have been working on cleaning up my diet, removing pop (soda, coke, whatever you call it, it's difficult. Oh God is it difficult...), eating my veggies so I grow big and strong, less grains, etc. I have yet to make a solid plan, but considering it is currently 11:45 pm at the moment, I will do that tomorrow in this same feed. Please come say hi! I'd be happy to meet you.

Anyone in the Maconish area? Looking for people to team up with.
