ExpectJade Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 This oddysey of mine is all about finding the best version of myself. In order to do this i need to build some strength, do some speech therapy and do some walking. Goal 1: Strength In order to develop some basic muscle strength and get used to a routine i set a simple goal of doing a few excercises. 3 sets wide squats 3 sets of incline push ups Planking Reward, if i complete 80% i earn a strength point I didn't specify the reps because i mean to set a baseline at day 1, and build up everyday. Goal 2: Distance In order to get somewhere on my oddysey i have a distance goal of 30km's a week. These can be done running, walking or cycling Reward, if i complete 80% i earn a constitution point Goal 3: Speech therapy I have to do my speech therapy homework every day. Reward if i complete 90% i earn a charisma point 16 Lvl 1: Adventurer with monk ambitions Current weight: 123,3 KG. Target weight: 85KG Link to comment

ExpectJade Posted December 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 Day 1 update Goal 1 3x15 wide squats 3x15 incline push ups 20secs of planking Goal 2 I went for a walk with my dad, we needed some together time to talk about the next phase of my transition. The talk in itself was good, so i am happy about that As for my weekly goal i can list of 8 kilometers of distance! Goal 3 Speech therapy homework is done! For those wondering, the speech therapy is something i do to help my transition. It is all about raising the pitch and resonance of my voice and learning certain, female mannerisms and speech patterns. Because voice is more than just the pitch or tone. All in all a good start! 9 Lvl 1: Adventurer with monk ambitions Current weight: 123,3 KG. Target weight: 85KG Link to comment
