MunnyRabbit Springs Into Action

[MunnyRabbit]

Introduction: Hey, I'm Josh, and this is my first challenge.  I like to ride mountain bikes, but I live in the city, so it's really more of a mountain bike on a road... I also love bodyweight exercises, but I have a really hard time staying motivated and consistently doing it.  I have a job that  requires a lot of physical activity and a career path that demands physical fitness (I work in the entertainment industry).  I joined the rebellion because I really want a community that pushes me to stay fit and to improve my body.  I want to be able to dance and spend an entire day working (for example, at a Renaissance Festival) without being utterly exhausted by the end.

 

Main Quest:  Be able to do a handstand by Christmas.

 

Quest 1: TMNT Workout for 30 minutes a day, 3 days a week.  

Measurement: A = 3 days a week, B = 2 days a week, C = 1 day a week

Reward: A = +3 STR, +2 STA, B = +2 STR, +1 STA, C = +1 STR

 

Quest 2: Bike for at least 5 miles OR Run for 3 miles, 3 days a week.

Measurement: A = 5+ Miles, B = 3-4 miles, C = 0-2 miles

Reward: A = +3 STA, B = +2 STA, C = +1 STA

 

Quest 3: Practice Handstands for 5 Minutes every day.

Measurement: A = 5 Minutes, Every Day; B = 3-4 Minutes, 5 Days, C = 0-2 Minutes, <5 Days

Reward: A = +3 STR, +2 STA, B = +2 STR, +1 STA, C = +1 STR

 

Life Quest: Eat 3 Square Meals a day (excluding Ramen and Pizza) and talk to someone about fitness once a week.  I tend to skip a meal, because I'm cheap and I want to save money, and I'm too embarrassed to talk to people about this stuff.

Measurement: A = 42 days, B = 36 days, C = 30 days

Reward: A = +2 CHA, +2 WIS;  B = +1 CHA, +1 WIS; C = +0.5 CHA, +0.5 WIS

 

Motivation:  I want to be fit and healthy for my job so I'm not always exhausted.  I want to have more energy for the day and to do all sorts of fun things without being too tired.  I want to look good for my girlfriend and be able to carry her easily.  I want to feel good about my body and how I'm taking care of it.

Hey Joshua!

 

Good to have you on board, good luck with your challenge!

[GingaNinja]

How is your first week going, hope you are well!

[TINSIngredient]

Awesome clear goals!! Love it!! I did the 30 day handstand challenge via NF before and their plan was great

How have you been doing the past week? 

[MunnyRabbit]

Thanks, guys!  Well,  it's been hard so far.  I'm only at wall-planks for about 20-30 seconds.  In addition, I had to move out of my apartment and into a new place this weekend, so I've been thoroughly exhausted; I missed one workout the other day. At least all the heavy lifting counts, right? 

[T2sarahconnor]

Moving is exhausting! How is the nutrition part of your challenge going? Some of the exhaustion can be from being so active and not putting the proper fuel into your body.

[MunnyRabbit]

Yes it is!  But I'm all done now.  

 

Heh, well... My pocket couldn't quite afford much food this past week, so nutrition has been mostly soup, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, fruit snacks, granola bars, and chicken. 

[GingaNinja]

Well sounds like you are getting a bit more food in, know food is so expensive it is annoying! Hope you can find ways to get more for your money, eating right is important with all that exercise you are putting it!

Hey! How have the past two weeks been going for you?

[MunnyRabbit]

I've tried, and I've basically kept going with the TMNT workouts and the handstands, but I only bike once a week, because school has started up again.  As for food, I've recovered from my lack of money, and I'm doing fine with that. So... Not awful, but not glamorous.  I'm not exactly keeping up to date in my nerdfitness logs either.
