@Elastigirl: Thank you, and as for this week, was a bit of a bumpy ride haha! I went to the parkour gym for the first time this Wednesday! It was AMAZING! We trained some basic vaults and plus some upper body workouts, but my legs were not used to all the jumping and running around, so, as expected, my thigh muscle hurt for the next few days, which resulted in me not being able complete the Beginner Body Weight Workout, doing it only on Monday. Hopefully this week I'll be able to keep it up and do it twice. Drank soda only once this week, almost fell into temptation on a second day, but managed to get through! But seriously, parkour is amazing. I can't believe it took me this long to start actually practicing it..

Hello There! Good to find a fellow Brazillian here! Keep hanging in there, I'm sure you'll achieve your goals!

Hello there and Welcome to the Rebelion, I'm new here as well =D These are some awesome goals, and I find it amazing how the "Zombies, Run!" App helped you realizing run could be fun! The Neila Rey website is pretty cool as well, I might take a look into it for my next challenge! Good luck on your Goals, yo can do it! ^^

First Mini Challenge Completed!

@Amdhiel: Thank you for the information, I'll surely drop by the Chats! Challenge Update: Did the Beginner Body Weight Workout for the second time, starting to get the hang of the exercises, but the Body Weight Squats are still very challenging Last day of the first week, and I'm happy to say I didn't drink not even one sip of soda for the entire week \o/ First Mini Challenge: Let's Get SMART 1- Yes, I believe it is both achievable and reasonable. 2- The first two focus directly on the main quest, and the third influences it indirectly, as I need a healthy body in order to complete my quests. 3- Yes, they are realistic, and can be adjusted to become more challenging as I progress. 4- Yes, I'm keeping track of my quests, and for the main goal I'll keep track by divinding it and learning each movement. 5- Grading them as pass/fail and the rewards are the goals themselves. 6- Unless something serious happens, I don't believe there'll be any need to adjust my goals. If something serious happen, I'll adjust accordingly. 7- My first week was exam week, so I was unable to start the parkour classes, but I had this in mind already. 8- My goals fit well together and will not conflict with each other. 9- Yes, my schedule for my goals is already set. For the Body Weight Workout I'll do them on Mondays and Fridays, and the Parkour Classes on Wednesdays Nights 10- Two habits, Workout and Healthier eating, both for the main goal.

Hey there! Awesome goals, looks like you're following them quite well so far, keep it up =D And the cleaning the room side goal is something I definitelly need to incorporate, great idea!

@Little Owl: Thank you for the support! @Blaidd: Haha, yeah, the weather is finally starting to get warm again, I'm very proud to say I managed to survive the winter! It was my first time seeing snow. Thank you for explaining the tagging ^^ First Challenge Update: Did the Beginner Body Weight Workout for the first time! I was happy to notice I was able to increase the Dumbell Rows to 20 and the Plank to 30 seconds. The Body Weight Squats turned out to be more challenging than I thought though, my muscles are definitelly feeling it! Haha. I'll be editting the Challenge Post to keep track of my changes to the workout! No sodas so far, so still on track =D

Hello Everyone! New Recruit here, aspiring Assassin. I'm from Brazil but have been living in Canada for the past few months. When I arrived here I wanted to do loads of stuff, one of them was start training Parkour in a Parkour Gym in the city. Needless to say, without proper motivation, this plan faded into the background, but no more! Main Quest: -Learn the basic parkour movements by the end of this challenge. Tasks: -Do the Beginner Body Weight Workout twice a week, hopefully increase to 3 times by the end of the challenge. -Join the Parkour Gym and take lessons once a week. (Sadly I'll only be able to begin this one at week two, as I'm finishing my Exams this week.) -Reduce Soda intake to once a week max. (A few weeks ago I was basically drinking a bottle a day.) Beginner Body Weight Workout Routine(Current): 20 body weight squats10 push ups20 walking lunges20 dumbbell rows (1 Gallon)30 second plank30 Jumping Jacks Life Quest: -Practice my Programming skills and Start Learning Android Development. Motivation: As I said, Parkour is something I've wanted to learn for a long while, but I never had the courage to just go out and meet people on the street to practice. I don't want to continue stopping myself from doing what I want because I lack the guts to just do it.
