Ok, so life majorly got in my way on the last challenge. I moved, applied for school, work is a daily gong show. I foresee a shift change happening on this challenge so I will try and keep this simple and efficient. Diet-I successfully cut sugar out of my coffee, and I have been sticking to it, it's habit. I want to add drinking more water to my diet. This will help cut down calories as I will not be as hungry, and summer is coming quickly. We will soon be dealing with 100° temps, I will need to stay hydrated. No A/C at work. My goal is the standard recommendation of 64oz a day. I will count all beverages except coffee. I drink too much coffee, that makes it too easy. Also, coffee makes you have to go potty too often. +3CON Fitness- I want my pushup! I will have it. No more knee pushups though, I will find smaller and smaller things to do pushups on until I have one flat on the floor. +3 STR -I seem to have lost a lot of flexibility. I want it back. Also, my DEX sucks. I won't commit to a yoga class for this challenge because I have a feeling I will be changing work schedules. That just seems to set me up for failure. I will accept a yoga class as a day of stretching. I will work out a stretching routine and follow it 3 times a week. This way I will be able to tell if I am making progress. +3 DEX -I smashed a record on the rowing machine during the last challenge and damn did it feel good. I want to keep it up. I feel like I don't get much cardio in my life and I like the full body pull of the rowing machine. I will have my 2500m race sprint down to 12:00 mins. That is 1:06 off of my record time. This is going to be hard. +3 STA When I make it to 12:00 I am cranking up the resistance again. I already work at the halfway point on the resistance wheel. Life- Moving was expensive! Time to buckle down on my finances. I know that when I change shifts I will be saving big on fuel, but since I have no real insight on a set date for that, I am making a point to trim in some other places. I currently budget on 80$ a week for food. I usually have a bit leftover and I seem to have a lot of extra at home. I will cut that down to 60$ a week and any leftovers saved for a big pack of flank steak from Costco....noms!+3 CHA Lets do it.
