JessFit Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 First off, a GIANT Thank you to everyone who supported me through my first challenge and hi again to everyone who followed me over here. You guys are the best and you made last challenge so much easier! Also, HI to anyone who is coming to visit for the first time. Main life quest: To turn myself into a better person on all fronts: Stronger, healthier, smarter, nicer, and at a better place in life. Goal 1: Avoid the unknown edibles a la Mrs. Lovett! My biggest vice is pop, but do I really know what I’m taking in when I drink that stuff? Nope, not a clue, but probably it isn’t good for me. Same with junk food, although that isn’t the focus this time around. Ever seen Sweeny Todd? If you think about it, drinking a can of pop is kind of like going to Mrs. Lovett’s for a meat pie, you haven’t a clue what is in it, you probably don’t want to know what is in it, and you don’t really want to be putting it in your body. So for this challenge I have 2 parts 1: drinking fewer than 21 pops in the challenge (that is one every other day and is more than I want but I also don’t want to set myself up for failure) and I give myself 1 CON and 1 CHA point for that. The second part of this is 2 weeks straight of no pop at all! Presumably the last two weeks of the challenge but if I can nail this one down earlier I will! Also 1 CON and 1 CHA point. Total 2 CON and 2 CHA points. Goal 2: Lift all the heavy things like Jean Val Jean! I love to lift but things are a little crazy right now with all the house repairs and moving scheduled. Lifting therefore can be any of the heavy things like boxes, furniture, floor tiles, barbells, or whatever else I can wrap my arms around and move. Could Les Mis have really been a story worth singing about if Jean Val Jean had been a scrawny weakling? Nope! So I will lift all the heavy things too! 2 times of lifting the heavy things a week for a total of 2 STR points. I had wanted to make this a pull-up challenge but with the move I decided to broaden it. Still, I want to work on my pull-up so I also want to get in 2 times of pull-up work a week or until I get 1 pull-up for 2 more STR points. Total 4 STR points. Goal 3: Go the Distance with C25K! Hercules went from Zero to Hero just like that, and I’m not Hercules but I’ve got to get going on this running thing. I’ll be taking the police exam in December and running is part of the test and I’m terrible at it. I’m starting week 4 of C25K now, my goal is to finish C25K during this challenge and run the distance just like Herc! It has been slow going because I am terrible at running but being bad at it isn’t an option anymore. 2 DEX and 2 STA points for this. (Thanks to Batwoman for the idea for using Hercules Go the Distance for this goal.) Goal 4: Defy Gravity and work on savings and debt. Student loan debt is holding me down. Me and most other kids in my generation, it is true, but I’m determined not to let it hold me down anymore! Last challenge I made the move to not transfer any money out of savings. I am going to continue that this challenge (with the exception of money for a plane ticket for a wedding, maybe a new dress for the wedding, and maybe emergencies but that is what savings is for) and expand that to include not using my credit card at all. 2 WIS points for this. The big goal is to get a smashing dress for the wedding without having to transfer monies from savings or bust out the cc. If I can manage that then I get 1 WIS point. Total 3 WIS points Beginning measurements and maybe photos coming soon (Don't let me forget) Warrior, Ravenclaw, book lover, history nerd, Red Sonja wannabe Current Challenge Battle Log Link to comment
