It's challenge time, and that means you all get to hear about my grass hut dream again. I hope you missed me. Now before you go thinking, “what?†allow me to explain. My boyfriend (that happened) has an uncle whose life quest was to marry a nice girl, have a great family, and retire to the beaches of Hawaii where he would live in a bungalow (grass hut) and surf all day. The grass hut isn’t the prize in itself, it's just the place we happen to keep the things important to us, but it's still the symbol in our minds of a whole life. It's been awhile since my last challenge, and stuff hasn't been great. I need this more than ever, and the timing was too perfect to wait. This is the part in the story where conflict arises. It's going to be a fight from here on out, but I learned a lot of tricks and saw a lot of problems the first two times. So, I’m going to have to take this how it should be; one step at a time, really because this lady is shopping for particularly glittery stairway.

Hi. Mi name is Sebastian. This is my second challenge. The first one didnt go so great in my quest (lose the gut), but I managed some nice big wins (Barbell training 3 times a week, increase vegetable eating). For this challenge, I want to give one more step to fitness, sooo My main quest is still to lose the gut, while getting stronger, my weight is OK, I just need to substitute fat with muscle. In the exercise department, I´m doing fine, going 3 times per week, doing weight workouts. In the food department I could do better, specially in the whole grain area. So, my goals are: 1. No more wheat (Not 1 bread, no pasta, no fruity loops, no KFC). 0% wheat related foods will be an A. 5% will be A-. 10% will be B. Lower or equal than 15% will be an F. 2. More sleep: At least 7 continuous hours of daily average sleep. 7 hours is an A. 6 hours is a B. Lower than 6 is an F 3. 3 vegetable servings a day (average). 3 servings is an A. 2 is a B. Less than 2 is an F. My motivation is to know I can accomplish a goal if I put my mind into it. I´m gonna finish my quest, even if it takes me 10 challenges. I´m gonna be better because I decide so. I will have control over my body, my health, and my life. I will take my body fat measurement this week, and post it with my before picture, and my starting weight.
