Brutal Bears Downs Wailing Caverns Intro/Explanation: Week 0 Lady Anacondra Week 1 Lord Pythas Week 2 Lord Cobrahn Week 3 Lord Serpentis Week 4 Awaken Naralex Goals and Prizes

Hi all, my first post here and my first challenge. As it happens, the Wing Chun school near me is taking on beginners on Mon 9th January, coincides pretty nicely with the start of this challenge, huzzah for convenience! Anywho, this challenge is more about trying things than committing to things, with that in mind it's broken down into 4 parts: Wing Chun 3 levels to this: 1. Call and say i'll be attending the class. Completed (03/01/17) <- I'm English, so that's 3rd of January 2. Actually Attend the Class 3. Attend all beginner's classes over the 4 week challenge. Activity This is primarily the trial and error portion of the challenge. The Wing Chun School only allows beginners to train 1 night a week for the first 6(?) weeks, after that you can train when you like. So, it seems to me i'm going to need some supplementary activity, I have 3 Workout types in mind: yoga, bodyweight and free weights. I'll be trying each of them out to see which I like best, each will be done for 1 week ( 3 workouts). 1. Perform 3 workouts in Bodyweight Training 2. Perform 3 workouts in Free Weight Training 3. Perform 3 workouts in Yoga. Ranked in the order of likelihood i'll actually do them Diet I actually really rather enjoy healthy foods, i LOVE veggies, fresh fruit, meat and fish so my poor choices, diet-wise, tend to come from being too lazy to cook when I get home from work. In this challenge, i'll be attempting to eliminate that problem by preparing meals in advance ^^ 0. prepare 1 week's worth of meals Completed (02/01/17) 1. Prepare 2 week's worth of meals 2. Prepare 3 week's worth of meals 3. Prepare 4 week's worth of meals Will likely be done on Sundays due to having more time and the looming threat of Mondays spurring me into some form of action or another. Other Stuff i've been meaning to do but haven't gotten around to, stuff will probably be added as I think of it. 1. Find a consistent conversation partner I have a number of partners i message on a regular basis, but i'm looking to find someone I can actually speak to in Japanese once a week or so. I have a Japanese friend I'll be Skype calling this weekend, must broach the subject of making it a more regular thing Hoping to stop lurking around the Monk forums and actually post stuff, the antithesis of my usual forum activity but hell, maybe that'll be another new thing I do
