Week 4 - Wednesday Quest One: 2/3 Quest Two: 18/23 Quest Three: 8/8 Quest Four: 17/23 Quest Five: 20/23

Week 4 - Monday Quest One: 2/3 Quest Two: 17/21 Full water bottle drank Quest Three: 6/7 Didn't do it because of "life". Gonna do it on Tuesday. Quest Four: 14/21 Didn't study because of "Life", again. Quest Five: 18/21 Pending both the air alert and study. Week 4 - Tuesday Quest One: 2/3 Quest Two: 18/22 Quest Three: 7/7 Making up for yesterday. Quest Four: 16/22 Did today's study as well as "yesterday's" study. Quest Five: 19/22

WEEKLY REPORT SO FAR: Quest One: Parkour 2/3 - Success Although I technically didn't do Parkour, climbing in doors is really close for me, as I have to use my whole body for movement, as well as my mind set. That said, I did manage to throw in an arms jump (or whatever you call it) in a line, to skip a few blocks and it was fun. QUEST TWO: WATER BOTTLE 16/20 Some days I didn't drank all the bottle and those were the really messed up days. I feel weak, out of focus, and generally speaking, a mess. QUEST THREE: AIR ALERT (HOLD) This week I was on hold due to the upcoming race. QUEST FOUR: STUDY 14/20 This week was a bit weird as in I studied a lot in a few days but didn't study at all in others. But I am seeing the progress being only sufficient. Got to work on this QUEST FIVE: THE LIST 18/20 Can't say any more than what I already said. It's awesome.

All right, the end of the week is near and here comes the weekly report as well as a few thoughts. WEEKLY REPORT SO FAR: Quest One: Parkour 2/3 - Sucess Although I technically didn't do Parkour, climbing in doors is really close for me, as I have to use my whole body for movement, as well as my mind set. That said, I did manage to throw in an arms jump (or whatever you call it) in a line, to skip a few blocks and it was fun. QUEST TWO: WATER BOTTLE 16/20

RIGHT. In a better mood today. Let's get to it!! WEEK 3 - THURSDAY REPORT QUEST TWO: It is 23:49 where I live (11:49 pm for the lazy ones), and I'm about 1/3 of finishing the bottle. Although I'm not going to bed yet and I can still finish it, at the moment this is where I stand. QUEST THREE: Still holding on to the idea of not doing this. The run is this Saturday, so I'm saving myself. But as soon as the Race is over, I'm back where I stopped: Week 3 QUEST FOUR: The exam was today, and it went... relatively well. Not a 20/20, but I am hoping that I can get at least a 14/20 or 16/20. At home I studied for 25 minutes, finding this to be the perfect amount of time to work. I get a bit distracted in the beginning, about 2 or 3 minutes, but then the gears start going and I never stop. Feels good, feels like I am actually doing something with my life. QUEST FIVE: Again, let me say this: THE LIST IS AWESOME. I must keep on doing this. So far I'm doing the list of things I must do in the order I'm doing it through the day, but I'm thinking of changing the pattern (probably on the next challenge), trying to write and organize the list in the way of most important task to least important (or the other way, I'm still not thinking about it), and sticking to the order of the list. But this is a story for another time. "Arrowing" out.

Week 3 - Tuesday Report Quest One: Although not exactly parkour, I'm going to include this in the Quest One part. I went climbing indoors today, and it was awesome. The staff was super friendly and my friends and I were constantly challenging each other. Quest Two: Full water bottle Quest Four: Studied only my minimum of 25 minutes. Feeling the pressure for the exam but I was ultra-tired, so I couldn't do more than this session. Quest Five: List completed. Week 3 - Wednesday Report Quest Two: Didn't drank the full bottle today... Quest Four: Studied a lot. The exam is tomorrow and I'm fearful for me. I think I didn't gave my all and I'm afraid of being a failure again. Quest Five: completed Off topic: seriously, today is a very depressing day... Not feeling confident at all, I was thinking about giving up this challenge... Since I was here I'm thinking about trying to keep it going, you know, for the challenge sake, but I really feel like I'm starting to fail on this too, and I think I might not be able to complete the challenge... today is not a good day...

Week 3 - Monday Report: Quest Two: Drank the full water bottle. Quest Three: I should have made Air Alert, but my legs were killing me from the run on Sunday. I'll probably hold this 3rd week off, because I want to be fresh for the run on Saturday. Quest Four: Didn't study, a lot of things happened :S Quest Five: Air Alert and Study are pending

Sorry for not being posting on, But a lot of stuff happened this week, to writing was not always a priority. Two Weeks Report Quest One: Parkour 1/2 - Fail This week I couldn't manage to go out and actually train parkour. I'm going to try and compensate in the next week, but we'll see. Quest Two; 11/13 - Success This is proving to be a good healthy Habit. At some point I started asking myself how did I even managed to pass without drinking water for a day. There was a day where I forgot my bottle, and the second day where I did not have the time to stop (lab work and work-work followed by work event, completely destroyed me). Quest Three: 6/6 - Success - Perfect Completed the second week, can't wait to start the 3rd. Also, today I'll be running with a friend 14.5 km. We'll see how it goes. Quest Four: 10/13 - Success Even though I missed 2 days (+1 from last week) I can say that 20 minutes is a pretty good time to work. I'm going to push it more 5 just to make it to the pomodoro technique and check how it goes the next week Quest Five: 11/13 - Success There were two days where I completely missed delegating tasks and I got to say, the difference is huge. Having the tasks gives me a boost in confidence and a purpose, and not having tasks made me procrastinate more than ever. So clearly I need to keep this up even after the challenge...

WEEK TWO - TUESDAY Quest Two: Didn't forgot this time. In full power again! Yay, fuel! Quest Three: Air Alert day. Today was slightly harder, but it could be because I lowered my resting time. Waiting only one minute between sets. Quest Four: Studied for yesterday, today, and even managed to put in an extra round Feels good, 20 minutes is more or less the amount of discomfort that I need right now! Quest Five: Completed every task! I am happy today!

WEEK TWO - MONDAY REPORT Quest Two: I forgot my water bottle at home so I didn't drank... I felt terrible xD Quest Three: Just did a mild yoga workout, just to stretch and get the blood flowing Quest Four: I didn't study... due to lack of motivation and organization. I am now ashamed of myself as I write this, because I know I should've, and could have studied... Quest Five: Missed the study task, but everything else got completed... so yeah... Don't know if I count it as a success or not :\

There are no "Ladies milestones". There are simply milestones. work your way up the ladder. yes, thank you for telling me about this list thingy! It's helping me a lot!!

I suggest to scale down a little but. Don't forget that the origin goal of the challenges in NF was to create bood habits. I often went for too big goals and i failed leaving me depressed and un motivated. I suggest dreaming big but keeping it small. Try to do things that are on the borderline of comfort and discomfort.

Week One - Sunday Report Quest One: Parkouring! Today I went for training (I couldn't skip the first week), and so I drilled the Precision jump. I see that most of my barriers are mental, and therefore I need to find ways to hit that. I also tried to drill the speed in which I did the jump. I take a lot of time setting up, preparing and then jumping. I also saw that some variations of the movements are required when thinking about the course of your training. In example, the muscle up in walls (climb up? what ever) is too slow the way I do it (with proper muscle up technique). I need to train my body to do another type of exercice where I turn the climb up to a monkey/kong/cat pass/whatever you call it to gain speed, focusing on real life escape or pursuit scenarios. Quest Two: Full water bottle drank in the morning only XD Quest Three: No Air alert, but parkour training. Good stuff. Quest Four: Missed study... Quest Five: Tasking done! End of the Week Report Quest One: Parkour 1/1 - Success - Perfect Nothing to say here Quest Two; 6/6 - Success - Perfect Always drank the full bottle (1.5 L) of water. It's weird having to go so many times to the bathroom, but I definitely feel better. I feel more energized, more focused, more... healthy. Quest Three: 3/3 - Success - Perfect Even though I missed the Friday, I did the training on Saturday. So no problem. Quest Four: 4/6 - Success - Satisfactory Missed two days, today and Friday. However, in the days that I did study, I found that 15 minutes is actually a small amount of time to do it. So, in order to build up the habit, it's good, in order to study what I have to study, it's way less. So I'm going to add 5 minutes, and for the next week I'm going to study 20 minutes every day. Quest Five:6/6 - Success - Perfect This is great, Delegating tasks actually make me feel more capable, my mood increases and I can get stuff done. By trying to order the task considering both the importance and when I think I'll be able to do it, It makes me eliminate the process of hesitation between choosing what I need to do and what I want. I just look to my phone, See what the task is, do it, cross it, and move to the next. I clear y day so fast like that, and it's actually more time freeing, because as soon as I get to the end I KNOW that I can just do what ever I want, because my "mission" for the day is completed!

Week One - Saturday Quest Two: WATAAA drank. I still can't believe how many times I need to go to the bathroom -.- Quest Three: Since I couldn't do the training yesterday, I did the Air Alert today, finishing week one. Quest Four: I think 15 minutes is definitely to little time. Tomorrow I'll do another 15 but I think I'm gonna push it to 20 minutes Quest Five: All tasks completed. Why didn't I made this sooner?! no one knows...

Week One - Friday This was a day completely dedicated to work. I missed my air alert training (doing it on saturday), my duolingo streak, my meditation, my study. It freaking killed my streak on all levels. But it's ok. Next day I'm gonna crush it.

Week One - Thursday Report. Quest Two: Full water bottle drank. Definitely feels better. I feel more energized. Quest Three: Upper body!! Towel Assisted - One Arm Pull Up - 3x5. Toes to Bar - 3x7 Wall Assisted - Handstand Push Up - 3x7 Uneven Push up - 3x5 Quest Four: Studied for 15 minutes. Seemed to pass quickly. I might have to push it to 20 next week. We'll see. Quest Five: List COMPLETED! "Arrowing out!"

Let's get to work http://gph.is/1UuP2zw

I haven't really measured. As soon as I can I'll do it and post it. I Know I can touch my ceiling which is at about 2.2 meters. WEEK ONE - WEDNESDAY REPORT Quest Two: Another bottle went down. I feel good by drinking that much water. I hate that I need to go to the toilet so many times X'D but alas, it does good to me and my body so... Quest Three: This first week of AA3 is still a bit easy, but the last exercise was hard on my quads. But it feels good, I'll tell you that. Quest Four: Yeah, studying today was harder. I didn't quite felt like it, so the 15 minutes were a bit slow to pass. But at least I did something, which is what I am looking for. Setting up the habit while getting shit done. Quest Five: At first I thought I was not going to succeed XD Because I set up my tasks as the order I think i'm going to be able to do them, and the order I think they SHOULD be completed in. So I had hoped to study right after lunch, but that didn't happen, and I only got to study after everything was done (Training, meditation and duolingo). But it's nice having this list, because I think I only studied because I was looking at the lone task, hanging there and I was like "Well... that's not gonna stay there all by itself... Let's do it then". So yeah, thanks Darth Yoga for introducing me to this

uuuh... what? xD I'm sorry, but I'm completely clueless... And google is giving mixed results XD

Week One - Report. Quest Two: Full water bottle drank. It's weird going so many times to the toilet, but I felt good. I felt energized. Still going to check if it's truly because of the water or not. but this was a success. Quest Three: Even though today was a rest day from AA, I decided I was able to do my upper body workout: Towel Assisted - One Arm Pull Up - 3x5. Toes to Bar - 3x7 Wall Assisted - Handstand Push Up - 3x7 Uneven Push up - 3x4 Quest Four: Studied for 15 minutes. It felt to easy. Going to keep this up for the week, and see if was just today that I was full speed, or if I truly can up it a notch. Quest Five: DAMN! This is nice!! Doing the List gives me an extra boost on my morale. I felt great crossing things of my list. And the feeling of having everything crossed is amazing! I feel like I can truly achieve things like this!!

Subbing!

Hazard! Straight into it as well heh? Going to sub to get inspired for awesomeness again Like Peelout said... Let's get shit done!

Mate! You are inspiring! I know the feeling of not being able to push through things through sheer force. I was like that as well. I also had to respawn in the last challenge. But it's ok, you know? you get a brand new perspective, and everything seems new again. Even know I'm still at the phase of working out the amount of effort my quests need to be, because I can't make them super hard, nor super mundane. It's hard man but it's ok, because I know I'll get it sometime soon Going to be stalking you around if that's ok!

The Hunter Quest One: Parkour Once Per Week (Minimum) = +1 DEX, +2 STA "I am constantly in need of eyes, ears and most of the times, someone to help me chase the runners. I am only one, so I tend to prioritize my targets, but this way I can cover more ground. Meaning, you'll cover ground for me and chase the ones who flee from me." Similar to my last challenge, I didn't get to actually train once per week. So I'm sticking to this until I can do it, and slowly increase the frequency as soon as I can. Quest Two: Drink 1.5L of Water = +2 CON "I'm going to teach you survival kid, and let me tell you, while I was on that island my number one priority was staying hydrated. So you'll follow my footsteps and do the same" I used to drink a lot, but lately I feel like my water consumption has been lower that what is recomended, lower even for someone who trains a lot in the outsides. So now I'll carry a 1.5L bottle of water that I need to drink everyday. Quest Three: Commit to the Air Alert 3 Program = +2 STR, +1 STA "Let me tell you something, if you want to catch the runners, that you're legs need to be on peak performance. While on the island I had to jump from rock to rock, run uphill and do all sorts of stuff. You are not on the island. Yet, you will train as if you are." Since I am getting pretty serious with the parkour training, I figured I needed to get back/increase my jumping power and leg strength. So I decided to re-do the Air Alert 3 Program. Let's see how this goes. In the off days I'll probably do my Groot Upper Body, just so I don't get completely uneven. Life Goals: Quest Four: Studying = +2 WIS, +1 CHA "I am not letting some punk control my company nor my city. I am to become mayor of Starling, and for that I cannot be just another dumb guy with a suit and gadgets. I need to know my way around the world. So I want you to grind through some books and ask questions when you don't know the answers. This will help you get better with people and dealing with your own failures. But talking about this reminded me as well to tell you to..." College is coming along, and I was never really a fan of digging the books. However I know this is necessary and can be an "acquired taste". So I am going to study everyday for 15 minutes minimum. At the end of each week I am going to evaluate myself and see If I can increase the minimum time. Quest Five: The List = +2 WIS, +2 CHA "... never forget your goals and ambitions. I used to have a pretty defined path I needed to follow. And in order to not lose track of myself I scratched some names of a list I had. You're going to make a list as well. This will surely help not to lose focus of this training, and of what you need to do." Going to follow the footsteps of Darth Yoga in the last challenge and actually do a list of what I need to do. I am a reeeeally forgettable dude, and I get lost in my own ideas of what needs to be done. This way, I'll see each evening what I need to do in the next day, order the list in a way that I can do it all sequentially and I hope this will make me much more organized and confident of my self, seeing that I am completing my tasks. This my seem like a lot of quests, but in truth, other than the Air Alert and the Parkour trainings, these quests only take up an average of 20 minutes of my day, and not that much effort. At least right now it does not seem like much. I'll probably skip the Mini's in order to be completely devoted to my quests, unless I truly believe it's helping me on my quests. BTW: Started the Air Alert today, and my only change was that I did the calf raises with 12 kg extra weight. Setting up my tasks right now, and gonna start the drinking and the studying tomorrow.

Check this out, if you can...
