BlackWidowEowyn Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Being the 3rd challenge in which leveling up is done, and dragons are slain...Well maybe not real dragons... Because what if they are just really nice but completely misunderstood? You know with all that fire breathing stuff (maybe they haven't learned to control it).My goals shall be thus:UNO: Pistol squats. Mine need work... I don't know if I'm close enough to doing them to make it a do it or not deadline. But I can get some good solid work in. So the goal will be 180 minutes of practice (that's 10 minutes 3x a week- see I can do maths sometimes )Possible points: STR +2, DEX +2DEUX: Handstand push-ups. This is a revisitation from my first challenge. I didn't focus on them as much as I could have... I paired them with pull-ups and cared more about getting a pull-up but now I want these too. I'm going to need lots of practice so 250 minutes total time upside down. 10 minutes 4x a week plus 10 minutes to make it a nice number Possible points: STA +2, STR +2, DEX +1DREI: Waking up is hard... Unless you work out first thing so I want to make a habit of doing something for 5 minutes right after getting up. Burpees, jumpin jacks, situps, push-ups whatever... Just MOVE. I will give myself a bye for mornings I go to the gym at 5 since the point is getting up moving.Possible points: CON +2, CHA +2FOUR: I am absolutely terrible about flossing... Which is silly cause it takes 30 seconds. Needs to be done every nightPossible points: WIS +1, CON +1 BlackWidowEowynLvl 6 Hobbit Assassin"Obstacles can't stop you, problems can't stop you.

sammiejune29 Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Great goals! I love the idea of doing 10 min 3 or 4 times per week, that way you are pushing yourself towards your goal but not setting yourself up for failure if your body just doesn't want to put on muscle as fast as you want it to. Lol I love the flossing goal. It was one of my possible goal ideas but it got edged out in favor of others. Lol Looking forward to seeing your progress, especially towards pistols!

Aeryn Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Pistols, handstands, and waking up... Is this my thread? Oh wait, no, because you're actually doing handstand push-ups because you're awesome. But other than that, we have some very similar goals! Also, love the numbering.

If I could I'd +1me too Life has been a little more than crazy busy (but we all know how I love chaos ) as I was traveling for work the last 3 weeks... but I think it's going to settle back down again for a spell... so back to regularly scheduled programing which is also nice as I'll have a little more control of my time. Pistols - hmmm not so good. I didn't get my 3 times in (only 2) but I will let it slide this time if I make up the minutes this week.HSPU - good work this week - all 4 times- the mini challenge really helped with this. Plus i've discovered how fun (and also horrible) wall walks are. Get up and move - pretty good, some days I have to have a coffee before I can manage this but either way it makes me have more energy and a better attitude (always a good thing for me in the morning)floss - yupper. my dentist will be so happy I need to get serious about the pistols if I'm going to make progress...down to business geromino!
