The scale is nothing but a mere distraction! Definitely a good idea not to focus on that

Ugh sorry for the sickness during Zero week! However, everything else is look good! Awesome! Should be very promising then for Week 1

Nice! Looks like this is starting out very well!!

I'm up for whichever and I'm happy to continue

Hehe thank you! I haven't thought of her height; Envy is the shortest at her stunted height; Sloth is slender but also disabled so she's considered 'short' since she is either sitting or laying down. Greed is a bit older so he's probably shorter than Wrath but not by much. Gluttony is by far the tallest (and broadest), Pride and Lust are at the same height. So Ira is in the middle. But her presence is dominating and intimidating.

Wow! The challenge definitely went well! Awesome work

I usually don't do Zero week stuff much but since it's Friday I wanted to get out a bit of a short summary of what I had been working on during this week for this challenge! I have been tracking my water drinking and for all days except Tuesday, I have downed 8 glasses of water! Nice! So been doing awesome there so far in drinking all the water! Hoping to keep that up during the actual challenge and NOT miss a day! I have done three days of strength training already actually! I didn't even realize that! Here are some numbers: Monday Upper Body: Chest Press @ 30 lb per hand @ 2 * 10 Dumbbell Row @ 27 lb per hand @ 2 * 10 Tricep Extenstion @ 20 lb per hand @ 2 * 10 Bicep Curl @ 20 lb per hand @ 2 * 10 Overhead Press @ 20 lb per hand @ 2 * 10 Dumbbell Pullover @ 30 lb per hand @ 2 * 10 Wednesday Lower Body: Long Lunges @ 20 lb per hand @ 2 * 8 ( 8 per leg) Curtsy Lunges @ 20 lb per hand @ 2 * 8 ( 8 per leg) Straight-leg Deadlifts @ 32 lb per hand @ 3 * 8 Ski Squats @ 30 lb per hand @ 3 * 8 Weight Bridge @ 54 lb total @ 2 * 8 Friday (today) Lower Body: Squats @ 27 lb per hand @ 1 * 10, 30 lb per hand @ 1 * 8, 32 lb per hand @ 1 * 6 (could do heavier, but a bit rough) Straight-leg Deadlifts @ 30 lb per hand @ 1 * 10, 32 lb per hand @ 1 * 8, 34 lb per hand @ 1 * 6 (I could definitely go heavier. This was a bit too easy) Curtsy Lunge + Side Leg Raise @ 14 lb per hand @ 1 * 10, 17 lb per hand @ 1 * 8, 20 lb per hand @ 1 * 6 (nope. Staying right here) Weighted Bridge @ 44 lb total @ 1 * 10, 50 lb total @ 1 * 8, 54 lb total @ 1 * 6 ( Can't really go heavier...I have very little room on my dumbbells...) Reverse Lunges @ 17 lb per hand @ 1 * 10, 22 lb per hand @ 1 * 8, 24 lb per hand @ 1 * 6 (I skipped a level. I skipped from 17 straight to 22, then 24. But that ended up being the right level for me anyways!) I have been replying to comments left on peeps threads as well as following some new Rebel threads too! Apparently there is a cat gif theme! I had no idea! I have also been pretty successful the past few days on lean gains. However I definitely need my coffee and my water to help mitigate how hungry I am in the morning...ESPECIALLY after I work out. Most of the time I have been doing strength training and/or HIIT in the morning to help me wake up which has made me super hungry an hour afterwards if I don't have coffee and/or water. This is hard, but I am pushing through it and like I said, I have been successful all the way through Monday to Today. Almost today...42 more minutes to go... The art has...not been lacking the more I think about it. I have not been working on my adorbz picture, but I have been doing model painting! I did some on Monday, worked on my adorable picture Tuesday, did more model painting yesterday, and will work on something today so hurray! Art has been had! So yeah! All in all very successful Zero week already! Hurray! Just one more thing... ...Should I make a challenge on just youtube music? I mean I feel like I keep finding more and more songs to share. Like this awesome remix of a music parody: And this related, additional remix on a parody related to the one above: Like this is awesome. I love youtube musicians!

It wouldn't be a challenge without you! Hmmm I know the cream maybe an issue (calories and all) but I didn't think about the stevia. Something I'll need to consider...We'll see how it goes and if I need to change things up! *** I love youtube muscisians...

The Random sketch cartoon where Robotnik was a manchild with two buffoon sidekicks and not a terrifying monster with a voice as deep as a pit of the abyss.

Hehe That is also good. Granted for Sailor Moon, I can forgive Sailor Moon Says since that was an addition by DiC. But for Sonic Says...that show was just so silly and random that Sonic Says just stuck out as even more odd. Cartoons nowadays have a story with the message

I have not!! I'll keep out a look for it!

There was a Sailor Moon Says and a Sonic says during the 90s period of cartoons...so that doesn't change anything indeed. :D. Oh god the nostalgia....

Nice on making a spreadsheet! That's a brilliant idea to track cleaning...or tracking anything! Whatever helps keep you motivated indeed! Definitely add all the pictures you want: I tend to overload on gifs because it helps make my challenge thread fun for NF folks as well as for myself. It's kinda like why I have a bunch of stuffed animals and toys in my office cube: I'm at work for a third of the day (one of the other thirds is spent sleeping) so why not make the work space fun too!

I am partial to the 'Kishi Says" series idea myself; only cause I call you a Sage and that makes you seem more Sage-like in that modern kinda adviser way :). But music is never a bad idea either

Glad this challenge is good! And yeah things change; you expect one thing but end with another that isn't bad, in fact may help out better in the long run. So yay! Awesome. I hope for the best on your raise and glad things are going good so far!

So many cat threads and awesome cat gifs and images! Yay!! Awesome on the Japanese quest! I need to get back onto doing some duolingo with Spanish! I'll be following along!

Love all the gifs!! I shall follow along!

I say keep posting all the cat gifs! All of them! Nice goals! I'm also gonna be working on my water intake as well!

You're getting so much snow! Kinda torn but I sort wish for more snow just to have better skiing conditions. Been oddly warm this winter! Awesome chore and sleep quest! I may need to copy some of these myself for future challenges; sleep has been okay but chores definitely lacking a bit!

Final Grade: A Week 1 Grade: A Week 2 Grade: A Week 3 Grade: A Week 4 Grade: A This is a really good followup to my last challenge! I did really awesome here and man...only one B! That's awesome!

This challenge went pretty well! Really happy with what I completed this time around and I have a good foundation for next challenge! I do have my next challenge thread up ready to go with several quests that are clear sequels to the ones here! I have a socializing quest that brings in trying to encourage more recruits; my lean gains quests that will build up from the eating quest, and of course my art quest that I really love to always have! The next workout quest will focus on strength training and also throwing in a new water quest! I am pretty terrible when trying to get all 8 cups of water a day so hopefully this will force me to drink as much water as possible...without drowning...or water poisoning! We'll see! Happy to be back here again and I'll see ya'll next time! This challenge has kicked ass and so did all of you!! LET'S GO PALADINS!!!
