Shukar Makes Something Up

[Shukar]

Since I seem to do a lot of my best writing when I pull stuff from thin air, that's what I'm gonna do with this challenge post and then do some refining in the next couple days as needed, because a mostly good challenge is better by far than no challenge.

So, without further fluff text, the goals.

1) Run consistently

The constant refrain of recent challenges, run often as I can and things will actually improve. The goal here is 2 a week all challenge. Anything else is just a bonus.

2) Cook some dinner

Less hectic schedule, supposedly, this challenge means the return of the meal plan. Plan the meals, then cook them. Plan meals for 3-4 of the week nights, depending on my work schedule and with a built in night out with the wife, and cook 2-3 of them at least (because I try to be realistic right now). Bonus points if I can start figuring out some good fallback options for when I don't feel like cooking but should so I don't get fast food.

3) Pick stuff up so I can also put stuff down

Haven't been lifting recently and that needs to change. First though I have to stop using my squat rack as a place to store stuff. So step one is get the area cleared up so I can use it, and step two is use it. Get some lifting done by the end of the challenge.

4) Car Repair

My car needs some work done, the headlights are nasty and need replacing, it probably needs a new bumper due to the broken plastic and all, and it needs some other work too. During the challenge I'm gonna get quotes and figure out triage for what needs done and then get it done. Bonus if I end up getting the windshield replaced and price out tint so I can have it done before summer.

So there you have it, some goals I just made up.

Hows it going?  I remember a time when you posted progress every day

Haikoo, the trick is to keep it from going something something dark side.

Teri, sometimes simple is good.

Bgv, I also remember those days. I hope to get back there someday.

So running so far hasn't happened, only likely to fit one in this week but one is still better than none.

Dinners this week happened once, got derailed by oversight once, were planned out once, got delayed to a future date once, and wasn't hungry enough once. So not great overall but only up from here.

Been getting the apartment tidied up, squat rack included. Gotta box the stuff up and ship it to Alaska (no, really). And that's step one.

Car parts it boils down to struts and motor mounts needing to happen around my next oil change, the bumper and headlights should get replaced soonish, and the windshield and subsequent tint should happen sometime during the early part of April. Now I just gotta figure out prices.

Overall I'm doing well, working on trying to get our living space cleaned up so we can keep ourselves on a more regular schedule. Also going to the ren faire tomorrow so that's fun.
