QengpuBenal Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Hey everyone! I'm back! My life has been absolutely crazy the last few months, and I feel the need to get some stability back. So, that's what this challenge is going to focus on! Goal 1: Move! Movement is essential to feeling better! This challenge I will complete the Zombies!5K challenge. This means doing 4 workouts on 3 of the weeks. I will also do some walking (at least 2 miles) on days that I don't run. I have to keep the movement consistent or I end up falling off track very quickly! +3 Stamina, +2 Strength If I complete the entire Zombies!5K challenge I earn an extra +1 Stamina! 30-35 days: A (42 days complete)25-29 days: B 20-24 days: C 15-19 days: D<15 days: F Goal 2: I need to hydrate more consistently. I feel better when I'm hydrated. So, I need to drink at least 4 of my water bottles (24 oz each) every day. +3 Wisdom 30-35 days: A (39 days complete)25-29 days: B 20-24 days: C 15-19 days: D <15 days: F Goal 3: My eating habits really suck. This challenge, I will not eat any fast food at all. I may go out to a restaurant once to celebrate my wife's birthday. +2 Wisdom +2 Constitution 30-35 days: A (40 days complete)25-29 days: B 20-24 days: C 15-19 days: D <15 days: F Life Goal: Spend at least 10 minutes a day working on my novel (unless I finish it and get it ready to be submitted for publication). 30-35 days: A (39 days complete)25-29 days: B 20-24 days: C 15-19 days: D <15 days: F 2 Quote QengpuBenal, level 4 High Elf Ranger STR5| DEX 2| STA13| CON 6| WIS 19| CHA 6 Battle Log "I want to live in a world where normal is an insult." - Misha Collins Link to comment

QengpuBenal Posted July 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Day 1 Check In: I did my first Zombies!5K Run I drank 4 bottles of water I ate no fast food I did NOT work on my novel However, I did not work on my novel because my USB bracelet with my novel on it accidentally got left at work. So, I will go get it today (I hope) and work on my novel for 20 minutes today to make up for yesterday! And, thanks for the welcome back, guys! It's nice to know people still remember me! I'm hoping to be a bit more active online this challenge, but we'll see. I've got work stuff going on, and I'm trying to watch (for the first time) Supernatural. 1 Quote QengpuBenal, level 4 High Elf Ranger STR5| DEX 2| STA13| CON 6| WIS 19| CHA 6 Battle Log "I want to live in a world where normal is an insult." - Misha Collins Link to comment

QengpuBenal Posted July 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 What's your novel about? I'm always intrigued by writers.Good luck and well done on your first day! It's about evil corporations and mind control via implants in the brain. 2 Quote QengpuBenal, level 4 High Elf Ranger STR5| DEX 2| STA13| CON 6| WIS 19| CHA 6 Battle Log "I want to live in a world where normal is an insult." - Misha Collins Link to comment
QengpuBenal Posted July 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Day 2 Walked for 2 miles. Drank a little more than 4 bottles of water. No fast food was consumed! Thanks go to my awesome wife for making the yummiest vegetarian meatloaf with sweet and sour sauce! The USB was found, and 20 minutes worth of work was done on my novel. Normally I don't let myself make up missed days, but since this was missed due to a lost USB and not to my laziness, I'm allowing it this once. 2 Quote QengpuBenal, level 4 High Elf Ranger STR5| DEX 2| STA13| CON 6| WIS 19| CHA 6 Battle Log "I want to live in a world where normal is an insult." - Misha Collins Link to comment
