A Storm Approaches

[StormieSkyez]

I think I've spent more than a few hours trying to figure out how everything works around here before getting the courage to post!

About Me/Storm

My name is Storm, I'm a 24 year old male who makes YouTube videos and is overweight! I enjoy EDM, PC gaming, and roleplaying. I'm currently unemployed other than my channel, because I have pretty severe mental and physical issues at the moment that I'm working on correcting. I have PTSD and borderline personality disorder, along with sciatica and obesity. I plan to overcome these issues and get my life on a path to health and happiness.

About my character: I am a Dragovian.

A typical dragovian has the grace and proportions of an elf with the body of a dragon. Height usually ranges from 4 to 6 1/2 feet with wings that can easily support flight. Coloration of their scales varies widely due to the crossing of all the draconic hues. Many prefer to wear very little clothing choosing to be more like their dragonkin in letting their scales shine in the light, while others that choose to adapt to their size and culture by wearing the garb of the few cities they engage in trade.

Dragovian society is as varied as a human or elven society. There is a sense of community similar to a humanoid city, but much more focus is on study of a craft, history, or lore. Dragovians are not without a sense of adventure however and often take long trips just to explore and often leave an impression due to a natural charm dragovians seem to have.

Main Quest

My main quest is to lose 60 pounds. After I've achieved that, my Master quest is to be an assassin. I've always wanted to learn parkour, I've been fascinated by it and love the idea of being able to climb and jump where I want. So, after losing weight, that is my end-all-be-all goal.

Challenge Quests

Eat less than 2K calories for four weeks

Walk 45 minutes daily for a month

Attend counseling on time weekly

Lose 8 pounds in 4 weeks

Grading Scale

I'll be grading myself on if I accomplish each thing on time and correctly every day of the four-week challenge.

Um..let me know if I did anything incorrectly and what I need to do next!

Day 1: Stayed under 2,000 calories by replacing the fries I normally get with food with apples and a side salad. (Until we move out of our apartment that was basically ruined, we're stuck with getting fast food).

 

Didn't quite make the 45 minute walk, but I took out 20 bags of trash for a total of 10 minutes of walking. I'll edit my post later "today" (joined very late on the 12th) and see if I can get in 30 more minutes.

 

Tried to perform a full squat on my office chair for balance training. I made it about 30 seconds before my shins decided they couldn't handle any more. Will attempt this again later.

 

I attended counseling Wednesday and made an appointment for next Thursday.

 

 

 

Funsies: I have an iced tea maker and made a huge batch of Celestial Seasonings Tension Tamer tea. I developed panic disorder three days ago and I'm hoping this will calm the daily panic attacks until I can see my therapist again.

 

I also have a goal of drinking more fluids. I had 3 32oz drinks (tea, water, diet soda) today.

Good luck on your challenge! I think the first three goals you picked are really great. The fourth one (quantifying weight loss) seems like it would be a result of the first two, wouldn't it? Happy to read the first day went well

Thank you! And I certainly hope so! Apparently I just need to cut about 500 calories a day, so that leaves me with about 1600 to work with, since I would have to eat 2100 to remain the same weight.

Well, this challenge has to be put on hiatus for now, I've been having a panic attack a day since I had my first one last week. I'll update it when I'm on some medication. I haven't been able to sleep or do much of anything. CBD is helping, but only so much.

Well that sucks: good luck with recovery!
