Tkal Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 As theme I picked some of the things that a true rebel should never do. And twisted them completely My wife and me are in a long distance relationship at the moment. It sucks to live in different countries, but for the time being we have to cope with that. So, when we are together we try to make the most of our time together, which means also leave on the side some of the interests and activities that we do no share. Of the 42 day of the challenge we have 17 days together this time. So I split the challenge in a "alone"-challenge and a "together"-challenge. The "together" bit is still my challenge, in the sense that I want to take the initiative and the lead, but if she is really not up to it, then we will do something different. I am not going to force her into this Collecting pants (alone)If I collect enough pants I will achieve world domination.I mean this one quite literally. My house is a mess most of the time and I end up doing emergency tidy-up every 3-4 weeks. That must change. So I start collecting pants. That is: pick the clothes up from the rack where I hung them, fold them and put in the proper drawer. It will happen within 2 days from the washing (3 for hand-washed things, they need time to dry out)CHA +3 for the more guest-friendly houseDEX +1 for the getting better at folding clothesI don't like boring (together)While my wife is here, I'll walk with her every day, for at least 1 hour, every time on a different place/path. Just to start some good habit.CON +1 for the good habits and the movementWIS +1 for finding the waySTA +1 for the walk itselfLift light (together)I know that when we are together we tend to eat more. Because we go out, we have dinner with friends, we enjoy cooking and we don't throw away anything (everything that land in our dish is eaten). So, portion control is the word here. Not to eat less, but to eat "as usual". So, my dish will be lighter even when going outCON +2 for the foodCHA +2 because nobody like to eat with a pig like meDon't change anything (alone)I was happy with my previous challenge. So I keep it as is was: push-ups, pull-ups, handstand, run (but 2.5 times/week), climb, check the food. This part of the challenge will happen in the days that I am not with my wife. If I manage to sneak in something, good, otherwise I still have the point for family lifeSTR +3STA +1No yoga as a challenge this time. Maybe I will do something anyway, but just as recovery or for the fun of it. And the monkish bit as always is the background for all this The usual spreadsheet will follow 1 Tkal, level 8 Dwarf assassin playing with the monksSTR 13.5 | DEX 19.25 | STA 16 | CON 18.75 | WIS 18 | CHA 14.5My walls (aka: random log) | Intro | Challenge 1 with tracker | Aborted Challenge 2 | "Real" challenge 2 | Challenge 3Challenge 4 | (never started)Challenge 5 | (super short) Challenge 5 | (third is a charm) Challenge 5 | Challenge 6Challenge 7 | Challenge 8 "Patience you must learn" Link to comment
Kishi Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Interesting choice. I don't think I've ever seen someone split up their challenges that way before. But, I can see how that can make sense. Cool. Good luck! Work like a farmer, train like an athlete, fight like a soldier. 2 Tim. 2:3-6 BATTLE! Link to comment
Cheechoe Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 A pants collecting challenge?? Eeeeeeeexcellent. Long distance?? SUCKS. Love the never-boring idea of going on different walks while she is around though! MOAR ADVENTURES! Link to comment
MadMaxHatter Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 [...]If I collect enough pants I will achieve world domination. I like the world domination reward. Sounds way better than a sixpack . And I think the getting your wife -sort of- involved into the challenge shows cleverness and vision. Good luck with your challenge!

Teirin Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Awesome challenge and sorry that you're stuck living separately. That must be hard. Collect ALL the pants! Behave yourself, badly if necessary. Current Challenge Judo - Shodan My Character Link to comment
Nusuth Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Very original Challenge. Kudo's on implementing the rebellion into reality, or reality into the rebellion.
