so for added benefit/encouragement not to miss...im deep enough into my sets now that skipping a day makes the workout even harder the next day...eek!

okay...did a little better with the workouts this past week. and...I made huge progress on my bonus challenge, I got a customer to sign up for a $500/month package... woot...anyways...here's this week's comparison pic...

Ok...took a little bit longer of a break than I intended to, but finally got back to working out today...anyways, to keep track of my progress, and to keep myself accountable, I've decided to post weekly before/after shots...because I want to be able to see a difference at the end of the challenge...here's the first one:

I go back and forth between a couple recipes, but I use EAS 100% Whey Protein as the base, then usually bananas or pumpkin with spices or cocoa powder, sometimes coffee and cocoa powder for a mocha type taste. Update: I did very well having protein shakes and eating my bagged lunch, but I didn't work out the past couple days because I got my workout on the slopes. We got almost 3 feet of snow over the weekend, so there were epic lines to shred. Planning to get back to it today.

Short and sweet! Love it. Also, I heart kettlebells.

Nice! I have some friends who are WWOOFing in Hawaii and NZ at the moment. They are loving it. It's definitely something I want to try sometime soon.

Good job with the water! That's a huge challenge for me. I've figured out that I don't like warm water...I only like to drink it when its really cold. If its not cold, I have to add something to it.

Just keep swimming! I have those half-hearted days as well. Days when I don't even want to get out of bed, and I get angry at my person for wanting to go out and do things. Sometimes those moods last for days. But doing something is always better than doing nothing...

just dropping in to say HI! It's been a long time since my last challenge, but I need to start working on my 30 by 30 quests, so now is as good a time to start as ever!

Seems like you figured it out. Mind sharing?

I'm back! I've been waffling around doing the seasonal thing for the past couple years. I've done a couple challenges in the past, but got away from fitness lately. I'm waaaaay out of shape now so I figured this was as good a time as any to get back into it. My big goal is to be in better shape. 3 Mini Goals: Drink a protein smoothie for breakfast every day. CON +2, CHA +2 Do my daily workout according to this spreadsheet. STR +4 Eat the (healthier) lunch I pack for work instead of buying food there. WIS +2, CON +2Life Goal: Get enough clients in my editing and formatting service, PostPolished.com, to make $1000 per month. This is equal to roughly 7 clients. I currently have 1, with another in the discussion stage. WIS +3 I started yesterday, but the site was down so I couldn't post this thread. It feels good to get moving again. I feel like I have been very lazy for a while now.

Little bit delayed but here we go: 1. Win the bet -- the BF gets here Friday and we'll pick the winner then. I'm hopeful as I've been doing my exercises consistently. 2. Boardslide & 180 -- didn't achieve either one of these, but I did increase the difficulty of my riding significantly, so I still consider this a win. You just can't play in the park on powder days! 3. 140 lbs -- clocked in this morning at 141.6 lbs, which is close but not quite there. 4. Job stuff -- I'm going to Alaska! Woo hoo!

so we've got a little less than a week left in the challenge, and I've got a little more than a week before my six-pack bet ends. here's a photo update to where I am now. I'm going to try to do a core workout everyday until the bet actually happens. I'm probably not going to get the boardslide down, and definitely not the 180. The snow has just been way too nice on my days off to spend them in the park. I have been shredding the double blacks though, so i count that as a win. I notched down to 140.8 but have since bounced back up to 143. Not sure what is going on there, but I blame the day I sat around watching chick flicks and eating twix.

Hey! Thanks guys! The survey is in the confirmation email after sign up, and thanks for the FB mention! I figure if it doesn't work for whatever reason, I'm only out the $10 for the domain, which isn't that bad.

hey guys! so I went ahead and set up a website to start fleshing out this idea. y'all could really help me out by signing up at nerdflash.com and taking my short and sweet survey. help me spread the word by sending all the nerds you know to it as well!
