Jittersthe.Clown Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 "One of the hardest parts of life is deciding whether to walk away or try harder" I'm going semi-simple with this challenge. Why? Because of my limited amount of brain power at the moment. Which segues nicely into Yoga/Meditation - 4 days minimum per week. I've got a bag full of cats in my brain recently and I need to get the smell of crazy off for a bit. A clear head can go a long way0/24 Lifting - 3 days per week. I am going to find some lifts that I enjoy and that will increase my strength. Can't be Thor without some good strength. 0/18 Unicycle/Juggling/Stilt Walking - 4 days per week. My parade season won't start till the month after we end this challenge, but that means I need to get the practice going now, or I'll look rather foolish (and not in the good way) on on the streets. Kilt and bagpipes optional. I'm not sure when I will get stilts, but I would like to try them out. And, as a part of this, I need to get at least pictures, if not video of a few practices. We'll see how this goes...0/24 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jCmfKHzafkSide Quest 1: I need to eat less and stop snacking after 8pm. I am going to not finish the kids' food at dinners when they don't eat it all. I will slow down my eating speed and recognize when I am full. This will be hard for me, but it should help me get down to the size 38 pants I want to stay in. Side Quest 2: Find something that I want to do with my life and start doing it. I'm tired of waking up and not being excited for my work day. I will make a significant step in that direction before the 6 weeks are up. This will be either getting enrolled in school, taking an interview that I want, or getting a business plan on paper so I can have my own business. I may or may not come up with more side quests. We'll see how that goes. I now await the beginning of the challenge. 4 Level 2 Warforged Druid STR: 2, DEX: 1, STA: 3, CON: 3, WIS: 2, CHA: 3 "If these people tell this story to their children as they sleep; then maybe someday they'll see a hero is just a man who knows he is free."

Mad Hatter Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Unicycle? Can't wait for this! I've tried a unicycle once and I found it crazy hard! I know it's obvious on paper, yet it felt so much more unstable than I expected. It might also be that I have zero balancing skill. Link to comment
Jittersthe.Clown Posted April 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Yeah, turns out, I'm getting one for free on Monday night. Seemed appropriate. I figure that I can do it because I don't know that I can't.

The Most Loathed Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 If I recall, you live in the greatest of Twin Cities. I've seen a couple folks down at Minnehaha on unicycles and I've even seen what I can only describe as a unicycle club riding together once. There appears to a be a small but plucky unicycle community here that you may be able to tap into. You can't spell Slaughter without laughter Link to comment
Jittersthe.Clown Posted April 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 There is. It's actually a lot bigger than one would assume at first glance. I've met a few different clubs while waiting for my parades to start. Very excited to start doing it.

Jittersthe.Clown Posted April 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 That's the overall goal with starting to unicycle, actually.

Ahyar Dreamspark Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Unicycling? While juggling? I totally want to see this as well. Also, upgrade to juggling chainsaws in the future: Y/N? You know, in case of zombies. Can totes relate to the job thing. We can complain together keep each other motivated Also, A+ use of Avengers gifs. This forum will look like tumblr before too long!

Batwoman Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Chainsaws need gas! If you really want to be a death-wielding-unicycling-clown-of-mayhem in the zombie apocalypse you should probably learn how to juggle machetes.
