2015 World 3: Mulan I have a lot in common with Mulan. I can be awkward and clumsy. I never really felt like I was playing the right part growing up. I was always told, “video games are for boys, go play with barbies.†Even as an adult, I’m made to feel like a failure because I’m not on my way to getting married and having kids. And I can’t tell you how many times I’ve looked in the mirror and thought, “this isn’t me. When will I look like -me-?†I even tried to join the military but it just wasn’t meant to be. What I don’t have in common with Mulan is that she totally kicks ass. It took a little work getting there, but with discipline, training and a little creativity, she made it happen. It all changed with an arrow. Mission: Retrieve the Arrow “I’ll get that arrow, pretty boy. And I’ll do it with my shirt on.†“This represents discipline. And this represents strength. You need both to reach the arrow.†World 3-1: Discipline Cook or prep dinner the day before. Improve in frequency over the 6 weeks. Cook and pack lunch the day before. Improve in frequency over the 6 weeks. If this doesn't work out, adjust the plan to find something that works. World 3-2: Strength Strength training at least 2x a weekEndurance training at least 1x a weekFlexibility and balance training at least 5x a week World 3-3: Creativity Incorporate olympic rings in all strength trainingA different 7 day mini-challenge each week (drink 8 cups of water a day, get 8 hours of sleep a night, etc.)Complete all assassin mini-challenges​ World 3-4 (Castle): Retrieve the Arrow 5 legit push ups, floor60 second perfect ring support 5 second ring support Complete 1 park workout Reward: My choice of (‘cause I’m so indecisive) 2 months worth of aerial silks classes and new workout pants or 2 months gym membership and personal trainer (for barbell). For each week I complete both mini-challenges: I get a $5 reward of my choosing, such as a candle or a new book. Coin Room: This seems to be a recurring theme, but my room could stand some serious cleaning. My goal here is to keep my room immaculate for 2 straight weeks during this challenge. Week 1 Summary
