Just a video to share.

That is my favorite. The bonebreathing stuff works, too. His history is horrid, but the rest is pure gold.

This is me in 2006 explaining what I was taught about the 8 energies in practice. Can you upload a video of you doing the eight energies, Foo? I'm obsessed with this stuff.

Main Quest" 1- I run on a schedule. 2- I only eat clean foods. 3- I log all the food I eat. Level my Life: I make my bed every morning.

I just came back to Nerdfitness after taking some time off and everything has changed. I need to do away with my old signature and I cant figure out how. Anybody know how?

I just read the new rules. Dang. Everything changed.......

I only did a 50 miler in 2012. Then I lost my job, started school, stopped running and got fat. A good book is RELENTLESS FORWARD PROGRESS. I am reading it again now as I start dieting and running again.

I live in Center Line (10 and Van Dyke), but I run out at Stoney Creek on the West Branch mountain bike trails. Anybody still watching this thread?

I should note I ran for the first time this year on Sunday for 6 miles on the trails. Today I tried to do the same and died at 4 miles. I am going to move to the easier part of the trails and shorten my mileage to 4.5 miles on a really easy loop. If that is too much I'll adjust down again. I used to run Ultras so this is very humbling.

New to the Scouts and I have been away from NF getting fat. I weighed 251 lbs a few days ago and it freaked me out. Since I lost my job and started school in 2012 I have gained 100 lbs. I used to be a pretty good runner, but I slowed down and eventually stopped running. 1- Weightloss- Go to Doctor and get help. 2- Run on a schedule. I forgot how the point thing works. I'll have to read the rules again and add that later.

I saw the dates and thought I missed this challenge. That's how burnt out I am. College is rough when you're 50.

Mine was an utter failure. Worst challenge ever. I can't wait to see the change in challenge stuff in 2016. It sounds fun.

1 and 2 were utter failures. 3 was good and I accomplished what I wanted to.

I have utterly failed in the eating and meditation. Utterly..... however, I am running again. So, there's that.

I have back issues and sit in a chair when I meditate at home and in my local Buddhist temple. I am not the only guy who sits in a chair at temple, either. (I also practice Tai Chi wearing jeans and not the silly looking uniform.)

I found a lineage coven.

I'm building a snapping turtle habitat and meditation area. It is slowly coming together. I think the Buddha behind a waterfall is going to look epic.

I love that I learned that if you want to start a habit you need to associate it with something else like, meditate when I wake up or run after school. After the new habit thing you need a reward to reinforce it. For example, in order to meditate for an hour in the morning I need to wake up at 5 am, because school starts at 8 am. I reward myself for getting up early by playing a video game called Boom Beach for 5 minutes. That is a surprisingly great reward for me for some reason. I have meditated so much that I don't need a reward for it. Meditation is its own reward.

My pet turtle was the size of a quarter when I got her last year. Now she is the size of my hand. She's a common snapper and will get to be 35 pounds or more. She is my baby.

I just read "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg. Excellent insights from scientific research on the subject of habits and how to make them and how to break them. I need to start some new habits. I actually already started so the challenge will be to continue them until they are an automatic habit. 1- Don't eat in my office or bedroom. 2- 1 hr morning meditation, seven days a week 3- Work on memorizing basic witch stuff from my first and second Alexandrian coven class. (Yup, I wanna be a witch.) That's about it.

I over eat because I want to feel something warm inside of me. I am pretty emotionless and I don't trust my feelings because of some post traumatic stress stuff from when I was in the service. So over eating is a way to feel something good. You probably didn't want something that personal, but it is a new realization for me. That book has changed how I live. It is one of several that totally changed the direction of my life. It changed it so much that all my goals have changed so I wont be doing my challenge here, but in the druids.

Dang! Subbed for sure!

That's about it.

Is this hip twisting punch a common Shotokan thing?
