Onto The Next Challenge!! Brief recap of last challenge: Pretty much was a washout for my fitness goals but did learn several things. This challenge will (hopefully) be a welcome change to the former challenge. Continuing on with the previous challenge, more that I (kinda) found the Three Hidden Keys, time to unlock the Three Secret Gates. While similar, the last challenge gave me thoughts about how to augment and work them better.And now, on that note: AGAIN, MAY HAVE SLIGHT SPOILERS, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!! Goal One: Out-Think the Copper Gate In the book, when Wade slips into the first gate, he ends up in a recreation of the film Wargames. Matthew Broderick as the quintessential 80s movie hacker. He needed to out think both the government and the computer. So now what I need to do is out think my old habits and get my mind working better. Goal 1: Learn something new every week (something substantial, via app, class, etc). +3 WIS Goal Two: Out-Fight the Jade Gate Through the second gate, one needed to contend with the game Black Tiger (Dragon in Japan). Very similar to many of the side-scrolling fighting games of the time like Double Dragon or Strider, it shows me the need to fight for what I want. Goal 2: Bodyweight workouts 3x per week +2 STR, +1 STA Goal Three: Out-Play the Crystal Gate I'm not going into too much detail on this one just because it's the last one and pretty awesome but I will say it dealt with several different things and now, so must I. I'm calling this the Three F's Goal (though three f's have nothing to do with the book, just this challenge). Going to focus on Food, Fellowship, and Focus. Goal 3a: Food: 7 Healthy Meals per week (no limitations) +1 CON, +1 CHA Goal 3b: Fellowship: Keeping up with the community +1 WIS, +1 CHA Goal 3c: Focus: Meditate for 30 15 minutes twice a week +1 STA, +1 WIS

Hey guys ! I am very new to this, for years I have been trying to loose weight with fad diets and multiple dieting attempts. This time I want it to be different. The problem I think I have is motivation, I can motivate myself sure enough but when it comes to others I find it hard to say no to peoples generous offers such as *hey I'm going to get a coffee, fancy one?' or even 'I'm having a bag of crisps you might as well have one just this once'. These need to stop! All I want to do with my life is travel, see every where, meet hundreds of people and try everything. This is the reason I want to get fit once and for all, I'm 18 and I have to ask myself when given the chance to Zorb, ' hey can I really fit in the ball?' or when going to do suspended trampolining, 'am I allowed to do that at my weight ?'. My weight usually doesn't stop me, for example I love to paintball but the clothes they provided only just fit with their largest size and so the buttons pop open. I never again want to question these things. I want to get fit to simply never have to worry about my weight or health and I can simply jump into any opportunity I get. That's why I am here fellow rebels, I want your help. If anyone wants to have my support too let me know and we can create a fellowship of our own! If Frodo (well personally I think Sam was the hero... but we can talk about that some other time) can make it to Mordor, then we can become our greatest selves !
