After much ado, here is my 7th challenge For any new folks following along: Hi! I'm Ruthix (Ruth, Ruthie, etc), and this is part 2 of what will probably be a 6 part challenge series themed after Tom Clancy's The Division. For those of you back for round 2, this one is going to run a little differently: -Every week there will be a new Mission. These Missions are made up of continuing goals, similar to those from last challenge, and unique Bounties. -EXP earned from completing the 4 main goals will determine whether I level up or not. Special Drops will also be included this challenge. -For each Mission, I need to complete at least one Bounty. -Bounty points will be added to EXP points to determine whether or not the weekly mission was successfully completed. Hopefully this isn't too confusing. I will have a tracker sheet again this round, which I will link it here once it is finalized. Tracker sheet GOALS 1. Sleeper Agent, pt 2 | CON 2, WIS 2 | Continuation of my goal from last challenge, hence the pt 2. 2. Retrieve Food Supplies | CON 1, CHA 2 | I've found that I'm doing quite a bit of unnecessary spending on (also unnecessary) food during the week. It's not necessarily bad food choices, but it's caused me to fall off of the prepping and meal planning wagon. I also have plenty of good food at home that should be eaten and not wasted. For this reason, I'm limiting my food intake to what's available in my own kitchen. If I bought it at the grocery store or farmers market as part of weekly shopping, I can eat it. My secondary reason for this is to cut down on my spending a bit. With the new car coming in and the payment for that, I need to be super diligent with my money. From past experiences, I know that if I go completely cold turkey with something like this, it tends to backfire. For that reason, I will allow myself 3 variances each week to make it more of a gradual process. 3. Gear Bag | DEX 2, STA 2 | Guys, I finally got a Ruck, a 5.11 Ruck24 in TAC OD *squee* ALL ABOARD THE RUCK TRAIN! I'll post pictures soon... 4. Assault the Stronghold | STR 2, STA 2 | I'm so glad to have both eye surgeries over and done with. The second was as much of a success as the one last month. It went so much smoother too - I didn't have any kind of weird nauseous reaction like I did last time, and I'd even say it was the best procedure of the 4. There are fewer halos and glares than I was previously experiencing as well. Anyway, now that this is behind me, I can finally get back into working out regularly. I have seriously been dying to get up and going again - Crossfit, here I come! 5. Bounties The wild card of the goals. I have a short list right now of activities I can pick and choose from. These are all one offs (at least for points), and I'm sure I'll come up with other ideas to add to the list as time goes on. At least one has to be completed every week.
