HerrBenedikt - Chapter 1 - Get up!

[HerrBenedikt]

Introduction:

Hey I am Benedikt 22 years old, I am a lazy, now unemployed System Administrator, and I am about 102kg (about 225 lbs). I really want to level up my life. Change things and get happier and maybe find a girl. I don't know I am really lonley I think.

 

Main Quest: 

I want to get down to 80kg by the end of the year.

 

Quest 1:

Walk for 30+ minutes everyday. I have a nice forest next to my place, I want to explore it.

Measurement: A = 30+ min for 30 days, B = 30min, 25 days, C = 30min, 20 days

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

 

Quest 2:

Drink no soda or botteld iced tea for the whole challenge. I drink about 3l of soda and iced tea a day.  I will swap out soda and iced tea for water and cold self brewed tea.

Measurement: A = 0 sodas, B = 6 sodas, C = 12 sodas

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

 

Quest 3:

Stay away from screens after 10 in the evening. And read some of these dead tree books.

Measurement: A = 5 books, and no screentime; B = 3 books, and no screentime; C = 1 book, and a lot of screentime.

Reward: A = +3 WIS, +2 CON, B = +2WIS, +1 CON, C = +1WIS

 

Life Quest:

Clean my place. My flat is gross. I am not really happy with it and I don't invite friends over to my place because I am ashamed. So I want to clean it again, and have a small party in 6 weeks.

Measurement: A = livingroom, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom are clean; B = livingroom, kitchen, and bathroom are clean;

Reward: A = +2 CHA, B = +1CHA

 

Motivation: 

The job loss was a wakeup call! I want to get my shit together. And I will.

I'm sure you can manage! (And a party is a great goal indeed.)

Reducing your intake of soda is a great start as far as diet. I'm still on and off with it, but I don't drink it as much as I used to. As far as the iced tea goes, you can absolutely make your own cold brew in addition to hot tea.

 

You're going to nail this, I'm sure

I often invite people over so I'll have to clean.   Good luck on your challenge!

 

I love walking. It's really better exercise than most people think. You don't need a gym or fancy gear. Even if you can't quite make it 30 minutes everyday, a 5 or 10 minutes walk can lift the spirits and just going out to look at green things can make you feel like a part of the real world. I have a practice of looking for the beautiful thing everyday. It could be a sunset, or a moonrise or a rainbow or a rainstorm. Maybe a bird taking flight, a leaf falling, or a flower growing from the sidewalk.  It could be a bus driver who was nice to me, or someone who smiled to me that day. Whatever it is I notice it and treasure it. Its hard to be alone and unemployed, but as Heraclitus says, 'All things are in flux, nothing remains the same.' You can get through this.

So first day. First fail. I drunk 1l ofsoda today! - I don't know why but I am so sorry!

But the went well. I just came home from a 30 minute walk around the neighborhood.

 

So far so good. We will see if I can manage the 22h deadline for my screens.

Your first day was off, but there are plenty of chances left to set things right. Don't give up.

How was the rest of the week?

[Juvi]

Hi Benedikt! 

 

It's a great step to reduce your soda consume from 3 to 1 litre! That is awesome and a really good base to go on. 

 

 

How are you going now?

Hope everything is going well for you so far in your challenge
