FAIL I had fast food for dinner... I blame my busy week and rush around afternoon. The real culprit is me being weak. That's two weeks in a row I've failed that goal. On the plus side though... had a great workout last night, Saturday is a workout's worth of manual labour so I'll be on target this week!, still haven't touched a pizza and haven't touched the savings account yet!

Glad it didn't hinder you too much. I really should've been proactive about mine. And just quietly on challenge news... I've hit my quota of one takeout meal for the week with a McDonald's breakfast. (I was too lazy to do the dishes last night) Definitely a good thing I was a little realistic with that goal! Back in September I joined the gym with a friend and then slacked off for a few months. I've come good since then, tonight will be our first session together since then (I go to a different gym now) so that should be goal-shootingly good!

Back of the knees? That's gotta be pretty painful. What were you doing?

This has been a great read. Keep up the good work!

Previously pizza was my go to when I decided to eat and realised I hadn't pulled anything out to defrost. However after reading Tim Ferriss's 4 Hour Chef - I've adapted his method of defrosting. (Put bagged meat in a bowl of hot water for an hour). This is great because I spend an hour at the gym so it's good to go when I get home. I think it tastes better than fridge/room temp defrosting anyway. I was back at the gym last night and its nice to see my body hasn't lost any momentum! I've only just started incorporating squats into my routine (getting my first strange look from someone - I use an EZ Curl because my gym doesn't have barbells...) and I'm freaking drained today! I love it! Thanks heaps guys for your support and interest. By reading my posts, taking an interest and replying you're doing me a great service and encouraging me to stick to my goals with some accountability. Thank you so much!

It's pretty much just peeling/flaking at the moment. Luckily I was able to get back on my feet Thursday afternoon as to be a groomsman at a wedding on Saturday. Crisis averted there. I am now basically back to full range of movement with negligible pain to the skin, so we are back in business!

Well that week was a failure. Didn't dip into the savings or eat any pizza, but the takeaway and workout goals were a bit of fail. However... I'm back at work after holidays and back into (reasonably good) routine this week. So it's time to keep going!

So after a day and a half of bed rest recovering from my burn and half a day of trying to rehab my walking/watching Batman I am ready to jump back into it. I've only missed one workout which with some small schedule rearrangement is easy fixed. Only going to hit the upper body today because I don't really want to push these legs too far just yet but it looks like we're still on track with the challenge. Of course not being able to walk or stand for extended periods of time has put me on the fast food trail a little... :/ But that enemy will be slain! And in other positive news, I was told by a friend last night that I look a little leaner. So I must be doing something right!

Well we are off to a great start. Got ridiculously sunburnt legs so I can't really work out (or walk). Hopefully this goes away pretty quickly!

Day One! Edited the opening post with the attributes for each goal. Had a pizza last night to get that out of my system. I've had a terrible weekend for quality of food (on the road) which tends to spur me to bounce back better. First week of working out three times on the books also looks like it's off to an interesting start. Going kayaking today which I would say is a workout. Going to be away for a wedding on Friday so I'll be giving the Hotel Room Workout a go. At least there's Wednesday for the gym!

I need to completely cut pizza. Can't stop at one slice!

Thanks for the feedback guys! I'm a little reluctant to change up what I'm doing exercise-wise TOO much at the moment, but I've changed to consistent weights, rather than climbing. And I did my first lot of weighted squats yesterday. At the moment I'm still experimenting to find the right weights.

Ignoring the horribly cliched title... this is my first challenge! My goals for the peroid are as follows... 1. Give up pizza. (2 CON, 1 CHA) - I lifted this from someone in the 2013 resolutions thread after realising it's actually a big problem for me. 2. Eat takeaway no more than once a week. (2 CON, 2 WIS) - This has been a staple of my work lunches for some time. I've recently gotten better with it, but it's a habit I slip back into so easily. 3. Workout three times a week. (2 STR, 1 DEX, 1 STA, 1 CON) - I've got my routine worked out and my long-term goals and got that battle pretty much set (should do a Battle Log but I feel like I've got it worked out). The biggest thing is consistency. Not missing a workout. 4. Do not dip into Savings account. (3 WIS) - Yeah I'm pretty bad. Though achieving the first two would make this so much easier. My long-term goals are to drop from 116kg to 95kg. I'm hoping to accomplish this within the year - and further challenges will attack this more specifically as well body fat percentage and clothing sizes. I'm currently keeping a food diary and eating to a caloric deficit (started on the 1st) which is helping control my eating so much. I'm also aiming to save up enough to afford to travel.

1) Get down to 200lbs. Currently 260lbs. 2) Travel overseas (or alternatively save enough money to make this possible). The goal is more about the money and travel is secondary. 3) Get out of debt 4) Start participating in Six Week Challenges!
