I've been reading a lot of the posts, and realized that I haven't really posted anything really substantial about my progress so far in the I Ho Chuan. Here is a list of my requirements, and how I'm doing on all of them.
No Quitting: Well I haven't given up yet, and I don't plan to.
Log 50, 000 pushups and situps: I am behind on both. -236 on my pushups, and -80 on my situps
Master two forms with a minimum of 1000 repetitions: I'm behind 32 reps on my 18 temple motions, but I have 9 extra reps on my Sai form (yayy :)
Log 1000 rounds of sparring: I'm behind 136 rounds. To my disappointment, I had forgotten my sparring gear last Saturday, but I will have it tomorrow. See you all there!
1609 kilometers running, walking, etc. : I've been really focusing on this requirement, but I am still behind by 45 kilometers
Record 1000 acts of Kindness: I have 500 acts so far, so I'm halfway there...
Mend a Relationship: Not Completed
Maintain A Public Journal. Updated Once A Week: I'm on track with this one
Maintain an online presence: This ones good.
Qualify for a perform in at least three public performances: I have not qualified or performed in any demos yet.
Learn to Lion Dance: Done!
Zero unexcused absences from I Ho Chaun classes or meetings: Still okay with this one
Organize, lead, and participate in important SRKF projects: I have participated in all of the projects that I have been available for.
Personal Requirements:
1000 reps of tai chi: I am behind 24 reps on this one, but Sifu Kichko has been helping me out substantially with this one.
12, 000 squats: Ahead by 45! yayyy!
Minimum of 10 minutes of stretching when I wake up, and before I go to bed: right on track with this one
Start a photography portfolio: Haven't started this one yet.
Receive an overall average of over 80% in my core subjects: Completed! I ended with an 81.5% overall.
Read 5 books that have a personal impact on me and blog about how and why: I've only publicly blogged about one of the books that I read, I have 2 that I haven't blogged about yet.
Create a career profile: Halfway done.
Play piano for at least 1 hour a week: I'm behind by 102 minutes with this one.
Obtain my drivers license: Done!
Keep a private prayer journal, to be written in once a week: On track.
I knew that my journey wasn't going to be easy, and that I would be behind on most of my requirements by this point. I struggled for awhile, and I'll be the first to admit that, but I'm trying my hardest to work my way up to where I would like to be when everything is said and done. I don't think that I am the only one that's playing catch-up with my requirements, and I'm here to help anyone that needs a hand.
That looks pretty good. I am catching up on my pushups, as I was quite far behind too. Let's nag each other until we are where we need to be, k?
