Andregc Posted March 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Thank you for the woots! New Achievement Unlocked!Said no to delicious-looking chocolate pizza. We had pizza last night (no woots for that), and my father also ordered a chocolate pizza (one of my favorite desserts) without telling me and my sister. Stil, I've managed not to eat it! Hey Andregc! Big woot! to ya, way to go I'm gonna go find your challenge thread Thank you! Are you on a challenge too? Searched and couldn't find your thread... Quote Level 0.

Guzzi Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Nah, I'm not doing one this time round. I had a lot going on and I wasn't sure how things were going to work out. I think I'll start a battle log though... Quote Make Life Rue The Day Turning back the clock Recipe book 14 Life is far too short to take seriously Link to comment

I think I'll start a battle log though... Oh, I get it. Make sure to let me know if you do start the battle log, so I can cheer for you as well! New Achievement Unlocked!Managed to do 10 proper push-ups I've been doing push ups on my knees, then changed to inclined push ups. Today I tried to do real push ups. It was really tough, but I've managed to do 3 sets of 10 reps of real push ups! 2 Quote Level 0. First Challenge Link to comment
Gilgamelissa Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 This achievement thread is an awesome idea. I'm going to steal this idea, maybe start a list in my journal or something. Grats on all your progress! 1 Quote Gilgamelissarace: wood elf | class: assassinstr 5 | dex 2 | sta 3 | con 3 | wis 0 | cha 0"Mood? What has mood to do with it?

Congrats ... and remember, you often get a reward for unlocking sections of a game. Just say'n..... Thanks! I'm just unsure how I'd reward myself... any ideas? New Achievement Unlocked! Tried - and liked - a new vegetable: Arugula - unlocked March 18th, 2014 It was actually much better than I expected, and I've had it again yesterday. Quote Level 0. First Challenge Link to comment

Tried - and liked - a new vegetable: Arugula - unlocked March 18th, 2014 It was actually much better than I expected, and I've had it again yesterday. Oh yea. Arugula is good! I'm thinking of a vegetable alphabet challenge next time. Maybe we should do a PvP and see how many new recipes and ideas people can contribute? I like the idea of getting little things .... or allowing activities ..... as rewards. Especially if you can relate them to the achievement. Maybe a shortsleeve or sleevless t-shirt to go along with the new arm strength. Or a brightly colored spatula for the vegetables achievement. Something tangible and something that contributes to future successes. You get a better sword or gear when you achieve stuff in videogames. Or you get access to new content and challenges. Think about what games you like to play - can you find RL equivalents? 1 Quote Level 63 Human ...

Think about what games you like to play - can you find RL equivalents? That is such a great idea! I'm afraid I won't be able to contribute much, as I've just started eating veggies, but, who knows? About the rewards... well, I really don't have any idea of what I could reward myself with. I'm definitely not wearing sleeveless t-shirts any time soon, I'm still WAY self counscious about my body yet... I think I'll have to give it more thought. I know it's going to be useful to keep myself motivated, but so far I couldn't think of any rewards that will in fact motivate me... Actually, I think that losing belly fat and gaining muscles itself is my biggest reward. Quote Level 0. First Challenge Link to comment
Chris-Tien Jinn Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Good workout shoes. They can be expensive, but they are definitely an appropriate reward in the spirit of life as a video game. Yesterday, I got a new t-shirt and bra for running. It was completely unexpected since we were just checking out a nearby city .... and I saw the Title Nine Sports store in the mall. SCORE!! Quote Level 63 Human ...
