Last challenge I signed up for a GoRuck at the end of July, and I'll be hanging with the Rangers until then. Besides that, I also want to drop to 232 lb (256ish now) and increase strength by Camp NF 2016. Last challenge I sucked at the weight loss, so a lot of my goals will be focused in on that this time around. Goal 1: Ruck twice per week- Last challenge I built up to 3 miles with 25 lb on flat terrain. This challenge I want to get that up to 35-40 lb on flat terrain. Putting down miles is the best way to do this, so I'll be rucking twice per week. Goal 2: Stop eating like an asshole- I got loose with snacking last challenge. I was making progress at a strict 1 dessert a day rule before slipping up. Think I'm gonna "detox" for a few weeks and have no desserts. Need to stop having silly meals on the weekends as well. Goal 3: Sleep 7 hours per night- I do best when I sleep this much. I feel more energized during the day and do better during workouts. Life goal: Rank 11 9 Hearthstone constructed- My current video game obsession. My best season rank so far is 12 10, want to improve on that. (edit: march season has 3 more days and I'm finishing hella strong).

I cannot wait for the next six week challenge to start, so I'm doing this now. I did not finish my original six week challenge, because my goals changed for a while and I was kind of letting family stuff interfere. But that's not the case any longer. I'm on track now, and things are looking good. Main Quest: Cut down to 175 pounds, deadlift 405 pounds, and do ten pullups. I am currently at 206 pounds (well fed). I will consider the challenge a success if I only meet my cutting goal, however. I am starting the challenge at 206.0 lbs. Side Quest the First: Complete a 7 day water fast. Side Quest the Second: Complete 100 reps of clean and press with 135 pounds in a single workout. Side Quest the Third: No fast food or sweets for six weeks (only becomes and issue on refeed days, therein lies the challenge of this side quest). Side Quest the Fourth: Log my food every single day. Plan of attack: Firstly, I will kick off the six weeks with my water fast. Only water, black coffee, diet soda, and vitamins for seven days. After that I will be sticking with intermittent fasting for the remainder of the six weeks. I will continue to use my minimalist, bare bones workout program, with the addition of pullups once again. I can do palms out, close grip pullups without pain so I will start working on slowly building them up. I will be posting back and forth between here and my battle log. Cross your swords for me, nerds!
