Nice! I had a sort of "instinct" about that type of non-training, but reading it out makes it more of a "thing", and less of a "This dude is out of his mind.". So, thank you? Good going! I am going to lurk around! Keep posting up! Also: Simplicity can be the key. Think of Bruce Lee!

I just realized my goals weren't specific enough, at least the first and the fourth one. Well, the scary part is... I'm afraid of putting myself on the spotlight. I think it's because I don't want to let anyone down, so putting myself on a leading position scares the hell out of me. but yeah... As for the Air Alert, not a specific goal, just hoping to increase jump power. It's a good workout for the legs! TL;DR: Quest One: 2 sets of 25 minute work/study session. Quest Two: - Quest Three: Upper body workout, check spoilers for details. Quest Four: I wanted to outline the general idea of the Association, but I failed, I still need everyone else. While things are not fully operational we are setting up to do a Camping event, in which I needed to contact some camping sites. I am still holding that, because I wanted to know the opinion of everyone else in the group, and they continue to NOT ANSWERING ME. so yea. I'm a bit frustrated on that part.

SENSES ARE TINGLING Quest One: Learn what you can... (+2 WIS, +1 CHA) So, you're going to a universe where we don't quite know what is happening. I know my evil me is doing something to the citizens, because there is an increase of mutants around the city. We need to study those mutants and see what we can find. In the mean time, we're going to study my "Evil-Me" moves. Because you're going to... Study time. Before being an Assassin, I'm a Scholar/Scientist. Therefore, I need to stop making studying such a bad bug in my life. I want to be able to sit down and completely focus. Also, this is my finals week so. I need to pass. Goal: Do AT LEAST a 25 minute Study/Work Session, completely focused. Quest Two: Got the Moves son! (+2 STA, +3 DEX, +1 STR) ... have to fight him as well. I can hold my ground but fighting against myself is hard, we're going to predict each other's moves. But if you fight him... that's better. The gloves you're wearing will give the ability to stick the walls like me. In the mean time, we're going to have to practice because you need to get a grasp of moving on the wall thing. This time, I want to try and go for Parkour Training 2 times a week. I'm going to mainly practice runs, and sometimes a few flips to make sure I can do them. Quest Three: Prepare yourselves! (+2 STR, + 2 CON) There will be a lot of fighting and running around, so when you're not studying or doing movement training we need to increase your power. Let's do some basic strength training. Get you the power. You do want to be more than a suit right? I mean you are a half-elf yes, you're not exactly a suit, but you catch my drift here right? Just some bodyweight training. I'm going to divide it in two parts, the lower half of the body, I'm going to do the maintenance of Air Alert, and the top half I'm going to do: -Pull ups -Core (Toes to Bar, probably) -Push ups -Decline Push ups -Kettlebell military push -other stuff that I still haven't decided. I need to work on this. Create the Workout. Maybe even use one of Madbarz's trainings. Quest Four: Guild... Leader? (+2CHA, +1 WIS) Listen, while we are trying to save everyone, going alone into the madness against thousands of Mutants is a bad Idea. At the same time we are studying the Mutants and see what's happening, you are going to make some of them come to our side. If we can make them become the good guys... that's a bonus for the Academy and The Multi-Verse Force. You're going to be the leader of any squadron you create in this universe. I also want you to become the best hero you can, and that goes a long way for leadership. Show us what you're made of, kid. I am currently trying to get an Organization/Association going (Still can't tell you the full details, until it's official) but I am not giving it enough time. Also, I am a bit of a scary cat, so I'm going to forcefully put me in a position to lead, going WAY out of my comfort zone. This time there's a lot going on, but I'll do my best as a leader to keep myself organized. Let's do this. Goal is to Once a Week plan out what needs to be done, and how I can achieve it.

ALL RIGHT YOU MAGGOTS! IT'S TIME FOR THE WRAP-UP! Week 4 - Captain's Report Quest One: EAT Lunch: S: Sushi (Ordered). Good on Flavour, Low on Quantity. M: Meat Sandwich (Can't recall why though...) T: Meat with french fries W: Same as Above T: Stew of Lamb meat with peas, mixed veggies and some potatoes F: Steak with Pasta S: Roasted Fish with potatoes Diner: S: Spaghetti Bolognese M: Rice with Peas, corn and mushrooms with rissole T: Codfish with Potatoes and Veggies W: Tuna, one a half eggs, potatoes and codfish (again...) T: Meat with spaghetti F: Pasta with seafood S: one meat sandwich and Bolognese again. Quest Two: Sleep S: 4am to 9 am M: 1:30am - 10:30am T: 3:30am - 9:30am W: 00:30am - 6:30am T: 2am - 9am F: 2:30am - 9am S: 2:30 am - 7:30 am Bonus: NO COFFEE Quest Three: Focus S: 12 min + 25min of study M: 12 min + 40 min of Study T: 10 min W: 12 min T: 12 min + 25 min of study F: 9 min + 60 min of Study S: no meditation Quest Four: Parkour Parkour at night from Sunday to Saturday, night jam. good stuff. On Tuesday also trained for an hour near my home. on Wednesday trained for 40 min. CHALLENGE WRAP UP AND COMMENTS: Quest One: EAT - 43/53 (76%) FAIL Evaluation: Even Though I failed this challenge (I said that I was going to consider it only a success if I did 80%), This is something I am thinking about continuing to do. why? because writing down what I ate made me much more aware of the quality, not that much of quantity. But even if it's not a success "by the numbers", off-record it was a success, because since 15 years old that I can't pass the 60kg/132lbs mark. Right now I'm at 62kg/136lbs. It's not much but it's a great start for me. Quest Two: Sleep - 18/28 - 64% FAIL Evaluation: This last week completely destroyed my possibilities of winning this challenge. But I did noticed something. Maybe 8 hours isn't for me right now. Whenever I sleep 8hours or more I get sluggish, without that much of a drive to do anything. I'm going to make an experiment of going on the next challenge with 6/7 hours, this time already cleaned with coffee, and see how my energy levels are. Still, it was good to write it down and see how I was doing. I guess one of the main things I am learning with this challenge, as well as the previous one is: "WRITE IT DOWN". it helps a lot. Bonus: NO COFFEE! man, my energy hit bottom, and there was days where I thought: "Just one coffee..." but on the very next moment I thought "But I am already down a month without it... I can't screw that streak up", proving that my conscience looses to my drive to win x'D (+1 CON) Quest Three: Focus - 24/28 (85%) +2 WIS, +1 CHA Evaluation: How could I ever stop doing this. I have already downloaded an App called Fabulous on Android, to help build up good Rituals (morning and evening mainly) and I did my meditation on the evening, but I'm wondering if I can also put it up on the Morning Ritual, after a bit of callisthenics and stretching and writing my to-do list. I'm a lot more calmer, a bit more focused and overall a happier man. Quest Four: Parkour - 8/4 (200%) +1 STR, +2 STA Evaluation: Truth be told, this time I had a lot of "help" doing this. The Mini Challenge got me going a lot more, as I felt both and urge to win and the feeling that my team was depending on me. I also had help since this month there was a lot of events and JAM's that I could go to. But I think what I gained more was the ability to, even though I am alone, and even if I am on the same spot (near my house for convenience), train harder and commit to myself. This also helped me become a lot more calm, since I am very active since I was very young. Training 1 a week, and most of the time 2 times a week made me spend that energy and feel good about myself. Even my self-confidence became better, because even though I know that I have a slower evolution because of my mind (I am so fearful, for everything), I am not letting that bug me anymore. Sometimes I get a bit frustrated yes, but I am starting to NOT compare myself to what those around me can do. And I've managed to get to know a few people better so, it's an overall win to me. Thank you everyone for the little support you gave me, sometimes it was just what I needed. Also, TEAM AVENGERS! I am sorry but I am going to advertise this now. I am going to wear my Avengers Insignia with pride. We had a though run, but Like I said before, this was not so much as better the enemy, it was about better yourselves.

Don't you worry friend, there's still friday and saturday

WEEK 3 - CAPTAIN REPORT Quest One: EAT Lunch: S: 2 sandwiches and french fries and steak M: 3 steaks and french fries T: 2 steaks with the smallest amount of french fries possible W: Same as above T: Meat with rice, little to none french fries, and lots of rice. F: PIZZA S: Steak With Pasta Obs: I cannot believe how much french fries I ate up. I understand why and I'm going to change that. I eat it a lot because it is the fastest food I can make, and I'm always running around. So in order to feel bad I counted all of that as Failures. Sure, I'm eating more. But not healthy. Diner: S: Beef roll and Pasta M:2 servings of Fish and Potatoes T: 1 chicken leg, one Steak, Rice: W: Chinese/Japanese Buffet. T: Steak with French Fries. F: Sandwiches S: Hot dogs Quest Two: Sleep S: 1am to 8:15am M: 1am - 10:30am T: 1am - 6am W: 1 am - 9:30am T: NO INFO F: 1am - 11:30am S: 5am - 2pm Quest Three: FOCUS S: NO meditation M: 12 min + 25 min Study Session.

Challenge Recap: Quest One: 30/42 - 71% Plan of Action: Same as before: Plan the weekly Meals Quest Two: 15/21 - 71% Plan of Action: Schedule the whole Week and Set Alarm clocks 20 min before bed time. Bonus: No Coffee Quest Three: 85% Quest Four: 166%

On sunday there was a jam I trained since 11 am to 3pm. On the next day (which was supposed to be rest day, but who cares right) I was invited to train indoors in a Parkour Gym, so I trained my ass of from 3pm to 10 pm. On the next 2 days I couldn't get down or up a flight of stairs without support or looking like an idiot. But you surpassed me! Way to go!! I'm supa-Impressed!

2 almosf full days training. My legs are crushed. I can't even get up some stairs without complaining or looking like a complete idiot. I love it, obviously. And this saturday there's another event where I'm going to train from 11 pm to at least 3 am. So yeah. XD I'm not even going to count it in this week XD. I hope you can get close. who knows, maybe even surpass me. I look forward to that

WEEK 2 REPORT: Quest One: EAT -Lunch Monday: Codfish, potatoes, beans & garlick (2 plates) Tuesday: Pasta with fish-fingers (2x) Wednesday: Rice, beef, french fries, pickles, salad. Chocolate mousse and a pear Thursday: 'Shrooms, 2 Steaks, french fries, banana Friday: Burger Saturday: Stew with turkey meat and potatoes -Dinner Monday:Half a Large pizza (only with the base, cheese and tomato sauce) Tuesday: Pasta with carrots, corn, peas, 'shrooms, mustard and 2 steaks Wednesday: Fish and sweet potato and a banana Thursday: Beef, pasta, roasted bell pepper, orange Friday: Soup and Scrambled eggs. Saturday: Pasta with bell peppers, olives, chicken, mushrooms & bacon. Quest Two: Sleep Sunday: 1am - 9am Monday: 1:30am - 9am Tuesday: 2am - 10am Wednesday: 2am - 7am Thursday: 1am - 6:30am Friday: 1am - 10:30am Saturday: 1am - 11:30am Bonus: No coffee yet. Quest Three: FOCUS Monday: 10 min Tuesday: 12 min Wednesday: 12 min Thursday: 12 min Friday: 12 min Saturday: 12 min Bonus: Airplane mode while working (This has an amazing effect on my work.) Quest Four: Parkour Sunday: Jam. Already talked about it Thursday: 1hour session alone: Getting into the "train alone" type of thing. I did mainly sequences and runs, because I decided to finally start embracing my strong points while working slowly my weak points. This means I'll be doing a lot more of Runs focusing on speed and efficiency, while working some of my flips and aesthetics on the side. This means I still aim to be an all around athlete, but I'll start focusing on a particular set of skills (speed) with more force and working on my weaknesses (flips) with less intensity but focusing on progressions. CHALLENGE RECAP: Quest one: 20/28 - 71% Plan of Action: Focus on making your own meals Plan it out for the whole week Quest Two: 10/14 - 71% Plan of Action: Alarm clock for bed time. Plan the week, not only the day Quest Three; 13/14 - 92% Quest Four: 3/2

WEEK 1 - CAPTAIN RECAP "So, let's see how you did this week..." QUEST ONE: EAT 11/14 (78%) I ate more, most of the time, but looking at my logs I can see that I ate a LOT of french fries. I guess this is because of habit, because at where I am it's pretty much easy to get a bag of potatoes already cut and prepared to fry, and it's fast. So, I see that I need to change this, either to more rice or pasta. (Bonus: 4/7 (57%) days I got a snack of some kind) "The fries are too much. You are not caring enough. Search for some recipes the day before, and you should begin to see more results." QUEST TWO: SLEEP 5/7 (71%) Sleep is an improvement. Although I still have a TERRIBLE mood in the morning, I've been feeling tired only at the end of the day. And I think it might be because of my DETOX from coffee. But, yeah, sleeping is helping me recover a lot from my trainings and it's been somewhat helpful to study (BONUS: 7/7 (100%) no coffee!) "5/7, it's not a bad score, but I know you can do better. Also, Never again forget to log in the time. I want that data." QUEST THREE: FOCUS 6/7 (85%) Meditation has been helpful, not only to focus more on class but to study overall. I still have a lot of trouble studying, but it's something I'm working out outside of the challenge (but helping me on the mini, because I am competitive, and It's my special reward for sticking to it). BONUS: 3/7 (42%) days I switched to airplane mode. most of the time on the other days I pretty much didn't check my phone unless in a day or two. But the Bonus is clearly stated, and I didn't switch, so. It does not count. "Ok, feeling better with that meditation DD taught you? good, if it's working, let's stick to it." QUEST FOUR: PARKOUR 1/1 I managed to go out and train, even if just by a little time. But it was worth it, because I'm getting back on the game, slowly, and paying a lot of attention to myself as for what I want and need. I've always defined myself as a very purist type of Parkour athlete, and now, even though I opened my mind for some "style" moves, I think it's time I started investing on my strength. I will not neglect my weaknesses (Style and Flips) but I'm thinking about investing some time in my speed training and sequences, because there has been a lot of competitions coming along, and if the format of dividing "Style" and "Speed" contests, I might, repeat, MIGHT, be interested in participating in some Speed Competitions. But I'm happy for this week. "I see you managed to hold up in our run. That's good, next week I'll set up two missions. We'll see if you stick to it." WEEK 2 Sunday, May 15, 2016 Sleep: 1am to 9am Lunch: Sandwich, like I said, today was horrible. Dinner: Noodles, a steak (fried in olive oil) and veggies. (and a Pear) PARKOUR: Today there was a Jam so I trained since 11am to 3Pm. It was awesome. My main focus was on a Lazy-Precision that I was not being able to do (but after 2 and a half hour of perseverance, I made it). Also train Precision jumps (max of 9 feet) and some sequences. 12 minutes of meditation.

CAPTAIN REPORT Week 1 Tuesday, May 10th, 2016 Sleep - 1:30am to 9am. Lunch: Single Serving of French Fries & beef. Dinner: Bread and Chicken, with Bell Peppers, Pork, Mustard & Honey Sauce, & Soup. Missed: - Air Alert & Meditation Wednesday, May 11th, 2016 Sleep: 00:00 to 6:30am Lunch: 2 servings of potatoes, steak & a banana. Dinner: 4 slices of Fish (can't remember which one) with half a plate of mixed veggies. 7 min Meditation Air Alert Bonus: 40 minute Study Session Thursday, May 12, 2016 Sleep: NOT RECORDED Lunch: 2 Servings Rice with codfish & Olives + Banana Dinner: Omelette with sausage & French Fries + Banana Air Alert 10 Minute Meditation Friday, May 13, 2016 Sleep: 01:00 am to 10:00am // Wake up at 4 am to drink water 10 minute walking meditation Lunch: Pasta with Tomato, onion and garlic, 1 and a half Chicken Cordon Blue fried in olive oil 10 minutes meditation Dinner: 1 serving of steak with french fries. Saturday, May 14, 2016 Sleep: 01:00am to 08:30am Lunch: 2 Turkey burgers, half a plate of veggies, french fries, 1/2 garlic bread. Dinner: 2 wraps with mushrooms and chicken. 12 minutes meditation Tomorrow I'm going to train Parkour, but my lunch will be f**ked. Tomorrow I'll also write up a quick overview of Week 1. I know, even I was "OH MY GAWD" when the teams were revealed!!

PUCKSY! yeah, but you did found me now Let's have some fun! So: WEEK 1, CAPTAIN REPORT Sunday, May 8th, 2016 I slept 7 hours (Didn't log in the time, so yeah... sorry about that). Today was a rest day, and I couldn't go around "Parkouring" because it seems like freaking Jotunheim where I live, but more with rain, and no snow. So rest day it was. At lunch I ate 2 plates of a stew made with red bell peppers, chicken, onions and potatoes. It is something somewhat typical in Portugal, but instead of the chicken it is generally made with some other meat that I can't recall but I don't like it. But, chicken tastes better and I don't like the other meat. so yeah. At dinner, it was roasted pork with roasted potatoes, but only one plate because there wasn't enough for me to take a second serving. Aaaand along the day I snacked 2 bananas, a sandwich with ham and cheese, and a yogurt. Meditated for 10 minutes before going to bed. Monday, May 9th, 2016 Parkour for 30 minutes, which may seem like it's nothing but alone, and in the cold, it was something enough for me. The spot is right next to my house and my main focus was on Precisions to a rail (6,5 feet in distance (my feet, obviously)), some Lazy to Precisions at the same distance in the same spot (Lazy on the rail, precision on a stair step, which is near to the ground. The movement itself is something I'm not used to so I though, what the heck. Oh, and I trained it both sides!). In between I did a small sequence just to get some cardio into it. Today I ate 2 plates of Fried Calamari with rice at lunch, and a full plate of a little dish I make called "whatever-is-in-the-kitchen", meaning, noodles with soy beans, beans, 'shrooms, onions, garlic, tuna, and cheese on top, fried in a Wok pan, with olive oil and just a little bit of sea salt. And as a snack I made a smoothie with a Banana, orange juice (2 oranges), an apple, a Kiwi fruit, and lemon juice (one lemon). Meditated for 10 minutes in one session, and another 10 minutes before writing this. I slept too much today, from 1:30 am to 11:30 am. But at least "tired" was not a thing today. Off notes: Today (Monday) I also did an upper body workout of: pull ups - 3x8 Explosive Push ups - 3x10 Toes to bar - 2x8 Alternating Kettlebell press (6kg/13 lbs) - 2x10 Bottom's Up with Kettlebell (same weight) - 2x10 Kettlebell Rows - 3x10 All with 1 min rest between sets. Also, as I still have time, I'm gonna try and study like hell now, to add some numbers to that mini going on -END OF REPORT

You won't be later on. I can be a real pain in the ass when I truly want people to succeed. And I can also be a bit rude, but that's just my way to try to get people to perfect themselves. So yeah... Let's see if you'll truly be glad

Glad to have aboard in our little guild! I aim to see good things from you! keep it up

followed!

he.... hehehehe... this... is just... AWESOME! BLODDY HELL THAT'S A GOOD THREAD! A GOOD CHALLENGE! I am glad your on my team mr. Scholar. I guess we will just have to make it on point to win, whatever comes our way. Correct? You got me pumped. Let's rock.

slowly get back on track. I am here to see you through it.

Well then... I guess I'm keeping track of you now

DONE

So, I thought I could escape the Hype of Civil War. I couldn't. As I was thinking about this challenge and my goals only one character came to mind: Captain America. Well, actually, I kinda also thought of Bucky, but I thought that his style would not suit my current quests. Maybe next time. So, small changes that need to be made, hopefully to keep and improve my health/life: Quest 1: EAT = +2 CON, +1 STR I am a bit skinny and underweight (I am in the bottom limit of both the recommended fat levels, and BMI, So I am on the verge of being "Unhealthy"). I figured it's time I did something about it. For now I'll try to eat more (Repeat a plate at lunch and dinner). At the same time I reckon that I know myself enough to know that I'll be checking what I am eating, because I'll be conscious of the fact that I am eating more. Bonus: Don't forget the Snacks for the middle of the day! +1 CON, +1 STR Quest 2: SLEEP = + 1 CON, +1 STA, +1 STR Yes, I sleep a lot less than I should. As a consequence I am currently feeling very tired, almost like I have no energy for nothing, not to study, not to play, not to do anything. So this has to change. I vow to sleep always between 7 to 8 hours. Bonus: Stop doing coffee! +1 CON Quest 3: FOCUS! +2 WIS, +1 CHA I stopped meditating, so this time, since I am feeling always drifting and not being able to focus on what I am doing, I'll need to return to this. This time, however, I am doing only a 10 minute meditation on whatever problem I am currently facing. For 10 minutes I'll sit in silence and quiet my mind and my body so that I can freely explore my problems. Bonus: Phone on Airplane mode during class! +1 WIS Quest 4: Parkour = +1 STR, +2 STA This is one is the one I will drag until completion. I need to train at least once a week, although I am going to make a conscious effort to go train more that that. I'll organize my week and my schedule in a way to make sure I'll go train parkour. I need to keep up with the Cap, of course. This time I am looking for 80% completion. If I don't do it 80% of the time 'till the end of the challenge, I'm calling it a fail. I am also still doing the Air Alert Program, so I'll stick to it as well. I am also going to reduce the amount of reports I give. So I'm thinking either every other day, or just once a week. Let's start on the 8th, full force until the end. Like Steve said: "it's either HELL YEAH or NO"... so I guess... HELL YEAH!

Final Report Quest One: 2/5 Parkour - Fail I'll be dragging this quest until I can make it happen. God dammit. I think the main problem is setting up time to do it between my part-time job and college. But I need to find a way to do it. Quest Two: 25/33 +2 CON This was amazing. I don't know how I even got around without this! On the days I didn't drink, I was tired, out of focus and generally down. Gonna keep this up in my life. Quest Three: 11/11 +2 STR +1 STA The program hasn't ended so I'm gonna keep it up until it ends on the 15th week. Also, gonna work out more on my days off. Quest Four: 23/33 +2 WIS +1 CHA Hard. I It was hard studying, I might have to research a new way to study... But I did it. Quest Five: 27/33 +2 WIS +2 CHA The list is amazing, and definitely something I will carry on. In fact, I wonder why I never did it before. Also: 5 weeks seems like a lot of time. and I said that these quests were easy to do, but it is a lot to control and take notes. I need to reduce the number of quests, and focus more on them. Also, I need to pay more attention to what I eat, start focusing on the diet as well...
