    Great start mate!

    Very much this. It's good to talk about these things, don't feel bad about that.

    So, as it's the strength feat this week, I'm going to be doing the first 6 days of this push-up challenge: http://darebee.com/challenges/pushup-ladder-challenge.html, followed by trying to set a push-up 1 set PR on day 7.

    Even with @RocketbikeNinja's tip I felt like my wrists were going to break. It's a no for me today

    Nice week zero, crack on week 1!
  6. Jarric
    Love the points system! Will be following along.
  7. Jarric
    Glad you made it through and are starting to feel a bit better. Just keep going.

    Sounds like you're doing awesome so far Tank! One day I will learn to start following your thread before page 6. I know you've already mentioned Firefly, but I'm just gonna leave this here: http://i.imgur.com/1RSs6Cb.webm

    Oo, pokémon theme, excellent! Looks like good solid goals to stick to; will be following along.

    Now that's an awesome bit of rangering!

    In for Team Iron Man Strength Feat: Altnerate daily push-ups/punches. Try for a PR on the final day. Agility Feat: Two home yoga videos in the week. Stamina Feat: At least one swim of 2k+ Ranger Class Feat: Go on a long hike/adventure walk EDIT: Just so I'm clear, each feat is on a different week, and the week orders are randomised, right?

    Day 1 is upon us! I got up on time(ish) this morning, brushed teeth and went swimming. Did 1km in 26 minutes (including rests & stretching), which ain't quick but it's woken me up. It's half 12 here now, and I've only had two cigarettes so far, about to have number 3. Tonight gym (think my arse muscles have just about recovered from lunges on Saturday) and will fit in some Duolingo. First proper update to come tomorrow after I have a day complete.

    Elbowed myself in the knee HARD on the first rep... Nonetheless, knee to elbows done with EC.

    Following along, and good luck with your weekend. Also, I started watching that show ages ago and gave up for some reason. Might have to give it another look now.
  15. Jarric
    Following along to watch you win this next battle. Hope you do pluck up the courage to talk to gym crush too
  16. Jarric
    She Hulk was definitely a great choice, will be following along again

    Just seen the new Avatar, that's sooo cute!
  18. Jarric
    Excellent, I'm glad :). Side effect of being English; for some reason we can't just pick one unit and stick to it! Even my gym has half the weights in metric and half in imperial...
  19. Jarric
    Good stuff with this challenge, well thought out and good job planning around known obstacles. Looking forward to watching you ranger everything (and hopefully many cute can pictures).
  20. Jarric
    Well done on the papers! Following along again; go battlekitten!
  21. Jarric
    Following along again! Loving the commitment to complimenting yourself
  22. Jarric
    Cool bike, and awesome farmers' walk. Following along again and looking forward to seeing your story progress (both in fiction and in real life)

    New Challenge Is Up
  24. Jarric
    So when I was about 11 a game came out that I absolutely loved. I played it incessantly. Relentlessly. Perpetually (well nearly). That game was: One of the biggest things I remember about this game was getting really worked up about preparing for the final boss of Act I, Andariel So this month I plan to do all that preparation to get my self stronger, healthier and to look better naked. Poison Resistance Andariel deals a shit-ton of poison damage, so I need to resist poison at all costs. This is probably the biggest deal for me, because it's been something I've been avoiding for quite a while. Smoking - 15XP - maximum 8 cigarettes a day on work days (around half what I currently smoke). No set amount for weekend, but keep count of all of them so I know where I need to go next. [EDIT]I will not smoke in my car if the journey is under 1 hour.[/EDIT] Am planning to cut down further and hopefully quit over the next few challenges. Grinding I always wanted to be lvl 16 before I took on Andariel, which meant lots of grinding to level up, and replaying old bosses (especially The Countess) Gym & Badminton - 10XP - Gym 2 x per week, Badminton as often as I can get it booked in. (Bonus 5 XP for 12 or more gym sessions during the challenge) Swim - 15XP - Swim at least 3 x per week. I was only one short of this last month, which was deeply annoying! (Bonus 3XP for any week with 5 swims (can be cumulative)) Learn a New Skill The reason to get to lvl 16 before facing Andariel was that you unlock a whole set of new skills at that point. French - 10XP - Minimum 350 Duolingo XP each week. Read one article online in French every week. Full Health Because you don't face a boss without going in with full health, right? Teeth - 15XP - Brush teeth 2 x per day every day, use electric brush and floss at least 7 x per week. Sleep - 15XP - In bed by 11pm every night or within an hour of getting home, whichever is later. I tried this a couple of challenges ago, but on my non-11pm days I was going to bed at 1-2am, so I didn't really get the benefit. Save Your Progress Becuase none of the above counts in you lose that save file! Update - 10XP - Update this thread daily with my progress. I did this in my battle log last month, but think I would rather keep everything together this time around A bit of housekeeping: I'll be running this challenge from Monday, because my mind can't cope with starting a challenge on a Sunday! Weights and measures may be in metric, UK imperial or US imperial, depending on my mood, the weather and the colour of my socks

    Crunches done; no EC because my abs are rubbish. One day I will get EC on an ab related challenge!
