[Lokesbrah] in "The Blade in the Crowd"

[Lokesbrah]

Hitting the gym right now, and since it's rest time I thought I could tell you something. Today, at 88 lbs I hit my first milestone. At a 88 lbs, I could not do 5 reps of Overhead Press. And instead of feeling sad or enraged... I was happy. I am happy. This is my first wall. My first monster. And I respect it. And can't wait to beat it. That's all!!

Recap!

1. No Parkour Training this week!
2. Didn't Tracked 3 and a Half days. Dammit!
3. This week I meditated pretty much everyday except these last two days since I was out partying (I also need this from time to time, it's almost a cathartic experience)
4. These last 3 days I didn't help out the mini a lot, but other than that it was great to do the exercises at home!
5. I almost got the music, but I am really enjoying the experience of playing again. Let's get this last week pumping!

Grats on hitting your milestone. I'm sure you'll keep at it til you break through. I'm being a bad parkour motivator, but should be back at it this last week. Any plans for getting out there again?

CHALLENGE RECAAAAAP:

 

fist of this last week:

1. Slacked Parkour Training
2. tracked all my meals except for one day
3. Meditated everyday
4. Did do a lot for the mini this week
5. Didn't play all that much this week

REAL challenge recap:

1. Sequence 1: Chase and Escape (+3 DEX;+2 STR)
   No Parkour habit set up yet. But the Video thing made me aware that I was missing out. I think i'll set up again this challenge, because I think that the video will do wonders for a lot of things, my confidence, my movement and will keep me accountable. Alas, this is a no go, yet.
2. Sequence 2: Follow your Target (+2 WIS)
   I felt like I tracked most of my food, and I think I got this habit. At least the alarm system was a great help because now I have the alarm even if I forget to track right after my meal. The snack was not in effect though, since I only managed a few. For the next challenge I think I can start to focus on my actual food intake instead of just tracking it.

3. Sequence 3: The Mentor teaches, the Apprentice listens (+2 WIS)

   I think I got this again. I'm still going to set it up the next challenge, as a precaution, but I think I got this habit again. And boy does it feel nice. The Bonus quest here really made the trick. I think my sleep got so much better. And Journaling what my vision-like meditation made me see was a great help. So Bonus as well (+1 CON)

4. Sequence 4: A Friendly Competition (+2 STR)

   I skipped a bit on this. Even though I felt sometimes that I could do better and I wanted to win, the training in the 5x5 got somehow in the way and I usually felt like I could not or did not have the energy to do it. But, even with these excuses, a challenge is a challenge. And I failed this quest.

5. Sequence 5: Entertain the Crowd. (+2 CHA)

   This was also a failure in a way, and a win in another. Even though I did not play as much as I wanted to, and I certainly did not set it up as a habit, I re-found my passion for music and playing, and will most certainly do it more often. This is probably stay out of the next challenges, unless I really want to make a habit out of it.

So thats 2/5, and that means I did not level up. But I go +4 wis and 1 con, so I got that set up for me. Which is nice!

I love the "yet." Means it'll happen, you're not giving up. You got this.

 

I've also been pretty lax on parkour this month. Barring any acts of god, I'll be going tomorrow, but it's been almost a month since I've gone. Not good. Here's to March/April being more parkour friendly all around.

I'll drink to that!

 

Now, it's time to set up the new challenge!
