Strickland5 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Challenge #6 for me ... oh yeah! Let's do this! Quest 1 - Keep up the Mileage (+2 Sta, +2 Dex)I did well at this last time around and will do my bestest to keep up my miles. 15 miles worked well last time so let's keep that as our goal! A - 15+ miles a week (+2 Sta, +2 Dex)B - 10-14 miles a week (+1 Sta, +1 Dex)F - less than 10 miles a week Quest 2 - Reduce the Booze (+2STA +2CON)This I COMPLETELY failed at eliminating booze last time around.So with that knowledge I'm going to set more realistic goals! A - 1-2 drinks a week (+2 Sta, +2 Con)B - 3-4 drinks a week (+1 Sta, +1 Con)F - more than 4 drinks a week Quest 3 - Drink more water (+2 Con , +1 Wis)(insert picture here)To get drink less boozes I need to up my water game. SO I'm going to shoot for 16 cups a day... or 112 cups a week A - 112-84 cups a week (+2 Con, +1 Wis)B - 83-64 cups a week (+1 Con, +0 Wis)F - less than 64 cups a week Life quest - Socialize with other Photogs! (+2Chr, +2Wis)I'm going to keep shooting my Project 52, but I need to be more social with my fellow photographers to that end I'll be going to 4 different photography functions over the course of this project. A - Go to 4 functions (+2 Wis, +2 Chr)B - Go to 3 functions (+1 Wis, +1 Chr)F - Less than 3 functions 6 Quote Half-Ork Scout Leader Running PRs : 5K 24m16s | 10K 53m32s | 15K 1h18m09s | Half Marathon 2h1m44s | Marathon 4h42m2s Past Challenges #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 #13 #14 #15 #16 #17 #18 #19 #20 #21 #22 #23 #24 #25 #26 #27 #28 #29 #30 #31 #32 #33 #34 #35 #36 #37 #38 #39 #40 Current Challenge : TBD Link to comment
shaar Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Aw yiss. Beer can be a toughie man. I don't know what flipped the switch in my head, but it's just so second-nature for me to have tea or water instead. Even last night we went to our bottle shop and I stood FOR EV ER in front of the singles cooler making my choice because nothing sounded super appealing. Maybe I over-indulged too much last year and I'm on a downswing... Either way, you got this! 2 Quote i am not waiting for a hero. i saved myself long ago.

BlackTezca Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 I won't lie: I was originally thinking about lowering my alcohol intake per week...and then decided that instead of limiting, I will add more health (veggies). Mostly cause I'm not ready. Good luck to you! I'll be cheering you on in this next adventure! Awesome running quest and I'm looking forward to hearing what your third quest will be! 1 Quote Race: Were-Jaguar | Class: CodeMONKey Level: 18 | STR: 46 | DEX: 41 | STA: 35 | CON: 51 | WIS: 57 | CHA: 47 Spoiler --- Challenges: CURRENT 18TH | 17TH | 16TH | 15TH | 14TH | 13TH | 12.5TH | 12TH | 11TH | 10TH | 9TH | 8TH | 7TH | 6TH | 5TH | 4TH | 3RD | 2ND | 1ST Accountbilbuddies: Artists unite for March/April 2017! --- "Everyone's the same height when you punch them hard enough" --- NF Character Profile | BATTLE LOG | Tumblr | DeviantArt | Warhammer 40k Shenanigans Link to comment

I won't like, I got pretty soaked this morning but if I didn't go out in the AM I wouldn't have this evening ... just so used to working out in the morning that if I don't my day is just meh.
