So jumping on the cat wagon. Or should I say the cat climbing tower? @Severine way of tracking her goals with her hobonichi journal inspired me to do that, so my family and I made our owns. We went to our local dollar store, bought some cheap stickers and poster boards. We made our own unique calendar and taped them in the kitchen. In the spoiler is what we got! With that being said, I will post a happy face sticker everytime I accomplish my 4 main goals each day. For extra credit I have ride bike for an hour (heart sticker) and eat 100% paleo (A rainbow sticker). I will level up once I reach 22 stickers, and then add new goals or a new number to level up. My first reward is going to be go to the health track (It has indoor pool, sauna, and weight room!) I need to keep this time around simple. I get to come in and read other peoples challenges on my phone, but commenting and also keeping on mine maybe hard this month. I'm happy we have the poster boards with stickers and right in my kitchen (where I spend most of my time). Plus my family is involved and it's going to keep us all on track! So here we MEOW! Diet Eat just enough, to always be prepared like a Tom cat (Minimalist Eating) Eat a pure Cat diet (100% Paleo for Extra credit) Workout Kitty Cat exercise (Workout and/or Stretch) Ride Bike (I have no funny cat pun for this, besides this GIF ) Life Keep Tiddy (Clean up kitchen after dinner) Ponder (Write) Be in tuned with the super natural (Look up art) I'm doing this one because looking up art is a stress reliever, I will be posting my findings from time to time. Someone here has suggest having a plan for when your stress, to do something that will de-stress you. I need that. Alrighty! Wish my luck!

Meow!

Meow! As a fierce assassin cat you need to be able to blend in anywhere.... And Lilith's next assassin assignment is to defeat Team Rocket, in their attempt to control the region! The way to come closer to them is to cartwheel, because that way Lilith's dodge skills are highly increased! Also, it looks so cute of course that Team Rocket will be lured into NOT attacking, like this: Then the little assassin cat also needs to be strong, in order to do a lot of damage! Soooo how will I achieve those things? Well here are my goals: Goal 1: Do Stronglifts 3x per week. Goal 2: Do Third World Squat every day. Goal 3: Finish my Cartwheel Checklist (scroll down for the checklist) every week Goal 4: Hooping 1x per week. Quite a lot, no? Cartwheel checklist is based on the things written in http://gmb.io/cartwheel/ Hollow Body Plank 1x Frogger hopping 1x Wrist exercises 1x Triangle Pose 3x Half Pancake Sidebend 1x Pancake 1x Cartwheel 1x Obviously more would be better, but I don't want to overdo it. If I WANT to do more that's fine obviously, but I don't have to. So that's it!

Lilith the Assassin Cat wants to get STRONG A proper assassin should be able to fight, to pounce, to kill. Lilith the kitten grew up to be a stealthy, agile, smart cat. However, not a very strong one. Her latest assassination of the stealer of boxes ended up like this: Which tired the target out some, but didn't make him unable to breathe, or steal Lilith's favourite treats afterwards. So Lilith realized she had to learn how to channel her inner lion. And how do you do that? By getting STRONG. Lilith undercover to learn from lions: ------- Okay in all seriousness now guys. I am an assassin. I just know it, I just feel it. However, I have ALWAYS (alright, probably not always, but for a very long time now!) wanted to do weightlifting. I just like it, I want to have great abs and booty and everything nice and muscular and I want to be strong! Assassins are all about workout at home, workout everywhere. I ordered/build my own homegym and I am going to follow Stronglifts 5x5. If that is not enough to remain assassiny, I am also going to work on my third world squats and I still do climbing, hooping, yoga, all the craziness you can expect basically! So my goals are: Stronglifts 5x5. So weightlifting three times a week. My lifting days will be Monday, Wednesday, Saturday but I go to Paris for an interview soon and that will wreck the schedule completely, so I will try to fix that by being creative on which days I workout then. Third world squat. Work on it every day. Python programming: work on it for at least 1 pomodoro (25 minutes) every week. Non goals but definitely things I will be doing: Hooping Stretching Yoga Bouldering Toprope climbing I missed you guys so badly! It's hard to log challenges and spend the time on it etc etc and I will do my best not to flake but your company is the thing that really matters to me. <3 Together we will conquer the world! I love you guys!

Lilith the Chubby Kitten - Climbing to the top! Chubby kitten hmmmm yes, that’s still what I am…. Sometimes. Lilith turned around, to claw at the falling fall leaves. She just loved fall. With the colours, the rich smells… And the winds of change. But Lilith started to realise something that has been happening to her for a while now. She was not just a chubby kitten anymore, and sometimes, she wasn’t one at all. She had grown up in mind and body. Feeling stronger, and therefore being stronger. Whenever she felt her fiercest she could feel a strange energy getting hold of her. It was hard to describe it as anything but power. She had been a circus cat briefly, now a kitten again. But she could feel something inside her fighting to get out. Along with the surge of power came an urge to climb. Trees, bigger trees, yet somehow they never reached high enough. I have to climb as high as the earth goes! Perhaps she would turn into a fierce mountain lion…. If only she would release that part of her. Challenge goals: Become a better climber and train for the Fjallraven Classic (I need to be ready next summer!) I’m going to work with a point system!

Lilith the Chubby Kitten - And the Journey to Somewhere Level 4 assassin kitten (not yet a Cat, Tiger, or...) Lilith had worked very hard on her kitty training, she worked on pouncing, running in circles, chasing her tail, contortion (getting in weird shaped boxes) and overall flexibility. She had done a great job and she knew it. She was faster, stronger and more agile than all her brothers and sisters. Now, she was waiting to show the mysterious cat how awesome she was and how she did as the cat asked. But... The cat never said when she had to be done, nor whether he would come or she had to meet the cat somewhere... Then some random day outside, the cat appeared. This time she wasn't startled (okay, she was, but her tail didn't explode as much as it did that time before at least). Then the mysterious cat said something that made her purrrr and make a huge happy face. "You did great, almost purrrfect really! Now, you have to come with me" Compliments always made Lilith happy, so she was ready to go! But... to where? She asked, and the mysterious cat simply beckoned her to follow. "But will I come back home....? " Lilith muttered. The cat simply kept beckoning. Lilith looked back at the portal to the warm fuzzies inside... To her brothers and sisters and her mommy cat. And followed the mysterious cat. To help my alter ego Lilith go on the journey, she and I will need consistency. I proved my ridiculous awesomeness last challenge, but if at some point during the journey Lilith disappoints the mysterious cat, she might not be taken to the destination at all! These are my goals for this challenge: Workout at least 3 times a week. This is pretty self explanatory. I will be climbing, race cycling and doing bodyweight based workouts. But any type of workout counts for this. Flexibility and mobility work at least 3 times a week. I can do yoga, mobility WODs, stretching and anything that can benefit me. Handstand practice at least 3 times a week. Do 5 minute practice sessions. Hooping every day. No matter how tiny the session is, I have to pick up my hoop every day. I love it so it actually won't be hard I want to get so good at it! EDIT: Due to essay writing taking a higher demand on my willpower than I expected, I will continue only with the hooping every day goal. All the other activities will be bragged about under "bonus". I will grade myself every week and then average the weekly grades for the overall challenge grade. For each session or workout I do less than I should, I lose one grade. I'm looking forward to this challenge! In fact I'm kind of doing it this week already, but I won't update and start posting weeks until the challenge really starts! Oh and just because I am obsessed with hooping.. Hooping skills mastered Static waist hooping to the left (my good side) Turning with the hoop Turning against the hoop Waist hooping to lasso Lasso to waist Hooping skills currently working on Static waist hooping to the right(my bad side) Chest hooping (left and right) Waist hooping on one leg Weaving (front, back and side) Circling hoop around you with hands (not sure how to call it) Basic isolation 'draw a circle'. Barrel roll isolation Walking forward while waist hooping Walking backwards while waist hooping 1st vortex variation (on body start) Hooping skills wants Vortex (4 variations) Helicopter Barrel roll Angle hooping Shoulder hooping Shoulder duck out
