I was gonna do a bunch of gifs, but I'm kinda lazy right now. This challenge is going to be in two parts. Part one is from now until March 25, essentially a Vacation Challenge. Part two is my "Back to the Grind" part. Vacation Goals: I have a lot of free time on my hands here while I'm waiting for Company to get out of work. So I may as well be productive about it, eh? Apply to at least two jobs (I have several saved that I'm interested in, so this isn't a crazy task) Look into the people I'm going to be interviewing with when I get back Listen to 7 Python Bible lectures Start/Finish my Taxes Stretch EVERY DAY (deal with my tight quads and knee pain) At least two walks with Company's dog Partially these are just to pass the time, but also to make sure I am still somewhat productive in this week and stave off some anxiety issues. --------------------------------------------- Back the Grind: Adulting: A Good chunk of Adulting to accomplish this time around Look into UFYH Interview on March 27th Reschedule Doctor's appointment 10 Minutes of Python a day Deal with a parking ticket (I actually think I already screwed this up, so I think I'll have to pay even though I shouldn't have to) Look into free guides for carving projects Limit video game times to no more than 2 hours on weekdays (Mainly because Mass Effect Andromeda comes out next week and I want to try and not have it eat me). Aikido: Test for First kyu! Look into posture and balance exercises to work on before the exam. Focus on blending. Write out 10 techniques (names only) for the "target" techniques for the exam. Food: This guy is the monster this time around. My eating habits haven't been that great the last several weeks. I've essentially been doing a dirty bulk, and I don't particularly like it. So I want to skew a bit more Paleo/Primal than I have been, and focus on upping my healthy fat intake over trying to spike my calories with carbs. So no more poptarts or cereal binges at night just to get calories fixed. I'm going to aim for 2800-3200 calories a day, but not worry about hitting that the first week or two back from vacation. I'd honestly like to go to like 2400 for two weeks, see how my body handles a mini cut. But I'll just take eating clean as an acceptable version, regardless of caloric intake. Really, I just need to not eat crap (Girl Scout cookies, punch, pop tarts, etc etc) and try to disguise it as either fuel or a reward for "surviving," which I've been doing a lot lately. So I'm better off just starting from scratch, as it were. So yea. Food, aikido, adulting to hit when I get back from vacation. Sounds like a decent challenge, right?
