The Mad Hatter: I'm investigating things that begin with the letter M. 1) Master's Muscles (+2 STR) For those of you new to this madness, I am doing the You Are Your Own Gym program and loving it. Last challenge I finished up the 1st class program and started the Master's class program. I am currently on week 4 so 5-10 will take me through most of this challenge. 2) Mudder Marching (+3 DEX, +2 STA) At the end of September I have a Tough Mudder that I will be running with some co-workers. It will be the longest obstacle course that I have attempted. In fact, it will be tied for the longest race I have ever run. The goal this year will just to be make it though alive. To do that, I am going to need to step up my running game. Last 3 challenges have all had this as a part but it is really getting down to crunch time now. 3) Midsection Miseries (+3 CON, +3 CHA) For a while I have been struggling with digestive health. Mostly it is just bloating and gas but there is sometimes back pain associated with it and other symptoms. So this challenge I am going to focus on eliminating everything that could be a cause. So you can call it a Paleo diet if you want but the focus will be eating fruits, veggies, and meat only. Since nuts is one of the items on my questionable foods list, I won't be adding those in. I know this is going to be a struggle for me but I really am sick of these gut issues. 4) Mindful Meditation (+2 WIS) This will be 2 part. One is to continue tracking what I am eating so that A) I can track calories, but that I can try to pinpoint what might be causing my gut issues. The second part will be to finish reading How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. It has been on my want to read list for a long time so I got a copy and have read the first few chapters. Nothing earth shattering yet but there are a few more pages to go.
