Wolf House

Hey, I had almost fallen off the face of the earth there. I've been working out MWThF, eating 80% healthy but I just haven't been tracking my stuff. My phone isn't that tech and my printer is broke, so I didn't print out my workout sheets. I've been getting stronger, improving my weights, but I shouldn't believe my own excuses. I'll just take a blank sheet with me today, a note card, and then update later. Working a double today, with class, but I'm still in!

Ok, I've messed around trying to get this to work like I have for other boards in my signature as a link, I'm just gonna post the long dirty version to it, lol. My first challenge log! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0An_trqbfwIKBdDZ1cjBUMTN5Vi1MLVNsZnNlbDh4UFE&usp=sharing I'll finess it later, I'm off to the gym to take out some aggression, lol.

Welcome! It is amazing how your motivation is boosted farther from the gym, you'll find great resources and support here. I'm fighting for nursing school, keep it up! Cheering for you!

I find that the free meals in the house I live in on Sundays are the hardest to turn down, and everyone is always walking around with bowls of some sort of pasta ... sighs. My mini fridge is currently filled with boiled eggs, mixed baby lettuce/spinach combo, frozen steamer packs of vegetables, individual portions of fish and a rare treat, 80% dark chocolate. Grocery store had a sale on chicken breasts, 1/lb, so I bought a pack and the meat dept split it up into individual servings for me and I froze them that way, great with asparagus! My saving grace has been almonds and dried cranberries, plus canned chicken/tuna on the go. Stick with it! Paleo is a lot easier when you get goin.

Ok, So here goes. This is my first challenge, I'm semi fit but in a transition, will be graduating in May and looking to a big boy job, relocating etc ... and I'm a procrastinator to the max, so my goals will reflect an effort to assist and curb that. My goals for this challenge: 1) Maintain the paleo diet - I started this two weeks ago and have gave exception to somethings such as birthday parties, friends going away, but I'm sticking to it completely. - How? I have purchased a paleo cookbook wich had the resource of an 8 week meal plan. Additionally I will be tracking my intake with the help of a google docs spreadsheet, to include ANY deviations. 2) Maintain my workout plan - currently a mix of iron wt/body wt following steve's exercises - How? Stick with it daily! Inspiration from you folks! Will also be tracking exercise reps, wt etc, on google docs. 3) Become a leaner, stronger me - fat caliper and tape are in the mail! - How? Through proper application of #'s 2 & 3 of course! Both Mentally, and physically fighting this fight with myself will make me stronger. I've taken a picture two weeks ago, and will be posting that and todays soon with other fitness stats. At the end, if it trends towards more reps, longer hold times etc, then I'm happy. 4) Find a post degree job/ or School - This is a tuffy, but it's time How? - I attended a career fair last month, and have a couple leads, following through with these job opportunities will provide me a safety net, in case I don't get into the nursing school I want. * Additionally - ( I don't give up easily) ... To apply for grad school & additional nursing schools as well. All will again be tracked on ... Google docs spreadsheet! 5) Clean out the car (weekly) Why? - Because my jeep is always a mess! Wouldn't believe the crap that piles up. Really!. I still have gear in there from our spring break climbing trip. (Whispers) ... also gonna be on google docs! Thanks for any support.

Hey guys, thanks for the encouragement! I hadn't signed up yet as I hadn't done the intro and class... was going to thirteen hours before it started, but I'm making my challenge post now! I guess since I've been rock climbing I'll go the assassin path and take those challenges, but I'm aspiring to be a warrior. Half of my workouts are body wt/iron wt so I feel confident. I will be losing the university gym as I 'hope' to graduate this may, have not been approved yet. Thanks for all the kind words and support! Determination is key, I just want to keep the change i see, continue be a better me. (haha, that rhymes).

Hey All! My name is Jeremy, and my last name has the word 'wolf' in it in a different language. So now that you know that, here's a bit about me. I have always had a medium but not 'built' build, and I'd like to fix that. I took weights in high school, did plenty of sports, now rock climb in college, but I have not seen the results that I want. My goals: 1) To be stronger than I was yesterday, while building lean mass. 2) To be able to see/have a six pack of abs 3) To eat healthier to achieve these goals 4) To maintain this lifestyle change no matter what 5) To improve my cardio (goal of 5k in upcoming months) I'm already on a good track, I started my own workout two weeks ago, then this week switched into a mix of the rebel strength guides body weight and barbell workouts. (I'm kickstarting it by mixing it up). -Mon/Fri = body weight circuit; Tues/Thurs = weight circuit, Sun & Wed = Rest/Rock climb/ or basketball. I've converted my college dorm fridge to full paleo, and have seen results, although I wish now I would have purchased the strength builder with the meal plan, more options and variety are needed in my current diet I think to help me stay on track. Does anyone know if you can purchase this as an 'upgrade'? or an expansion pack ? kind of the only bit of buyers remorse. I'm down from 185 to 175 while maintaining mass and strength; my body fat calipers are due in the mail any day and I will start tracking that and taping myself. I'm 5'8", and had a BMI of 28 something, so this is an improvement although weight loss is not my entire goal. I would like to be able to run a 5k, I was a sprinter previously but now I'm working on distance and endurance, to prevent my family history of heart disease and diabetes. Every little bit further I can go I feel as though I'm winning a battle against both of those diseases. Well, that is my long winded intro, I will get pics up as soon as I get an sd card reader, lost the camera cable :/ If anyone can point me to a resource for a 6 week paleo meal plan without buying the whole package over again that'd be great, as a student working 30 hours a week I am trying to find more paleo options to go and a little variety. Thanks!
