Hey there Forkboy, it's been awhile. Glad to see you're still pushing forward And Happy birthday! I hope it was fun Now, the thing about the heart rate monitors, and the "giant screen" sounds awfully familiar to what's been going on at the gym I train at for Boxing. They just got those set up not too long ago. Coincidence, mayhaps? Anyways, I'm glad to hear you're in this for the long haul. You can do it, buddy – I've always believed in you! Stand tall, and show the world just WHO THE HELL YOU ARE!!!

Popping in to say awesome job, Ash! Yeah

Nice work Cinalyc! You've come quite far Awesome job buddy

Holy crap, you're alive! lol So, how have things been going? Has the drama calmed down at all (you were talking about that before, right)?

Alright, not dead, just busy. I've actually been making good progress over the past two weeks, I've just forgot to update here. But anyways, I'll leave an update later; for tonight, I'm determined to get a good night's sleep. Now, I'm off to bed

Not fun. But I decided to "give up" on Friday, and turn in really early that night, and just go to bed. That helped me out tremendously, because I finally felt like I had the energy to do what I needed, and wanted, to do! First thing I did was (well, after getting dressed) go work out. Then after that I actually stretched, once I had finished my last exercise (something I've needed to do for a long time). Then I got a load of dishes washed, walked the dog, read the newest article on NF (and proceeded to lose track of time watching Bro Science Life), got back on top of things and swept and vacuumed the house, and did the dishes again. That's probably the most stuff I've done during a day in a long time, and I'm proud of that; most of the time, when I'm feeling down, I'll just spend the day on the computer, watching YouTube videos, but this day, I got up and did stuff! And it was awesome As for today (as of writing this, it's 5/17/15), since I finished my chores, and shouldn't workout with the weights today (I've heard it can be dangerous to do strength training two days in a row, unless you're really strong, because you'll be risking injuring yourself from not getting enough rest time), I'm gona' go ahead and reward myself with a full day of playing Xenoblade Chronicles. I don't play video games that often, so this'll be a real treat (and plus, it'll help me stay active, because I always play it standing up, running in place, and swinging the Wii-mote around like it's the Monado )

Hey, how did this week go? Was it good, bad, somewhere in between? Either way, I hope things are going well

Week Six is starting up! Let's get those Week Five Progress Reports up

Woohoo! Great job with Weeks 3, 4, and 5! And thumbs up on getting back to 225lbs That's awesome

Nice, you're doing great! You can do this! Now go kick Week Two's ass

Thanks I'll do my best

[ :The Legend of Will 10: ] [ = Week Four = ] _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ (Friday - 5/8/15) Workout: Push-ups 50 One handed Push-ups [Left - Right] 10 - 10 Squats (30lbs in each hand - Total: 60lbs) 9 Dead Lifts (30lbs in each hand - Total: 60lbs) 9 Bench Press (30lbs in each hand) 9 Bent Over Row (30lbs in each hand) [Left - Right] 9 Notes: Did this workout right before I was needed for the Art Walk that was going on in town. It really helped wake up, considering I hadn't slept well at all the previous night. My mom had asked for help at the Art Walk (well, she signed me up, and told me later), and I agreed to lend a hand once again. It was fun, walking around town all day. And since I've stopped volunteering at the Food Bank for a while now, I felt I needed something else to help out with. (Sunday - 5/10/15) Workout: Pull-ups 25 10 5 6 4 3 2 Total: 50 Push-ups 25 25 Total: 50 One handed Push-ups [Left - Right] 5 - 5 5 - 5 Total: 10 - 10 Squats (30lbs in each hand - Total: 60lbs) 10 Dead Lifts (30lbs in each hand - Total: 60lbs) 10 Bench Press (30lbs in each hand) 10 Bent Over Row (30lbs in each hand) [Left - Right] 10 Notes: Felt quite sore during this workout, but I had fun, at least

Woohoo! Great job this past weekend Preplanned healthy food, For The Win And thumbs up for avoiding the soda and junk food at the store

Ha ha, thanks Well, they're still really difficult, and five is about the most I can do in one go right now; but hey, I got them done

[ :The Legend of Will 10: ] [ = Week Four = ] _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ (Monday - 5/4/15) Workout: Push-ups 50 One Handed Push-ups [Left - Right] 5 - 5 5 - 5 Squats (30lbs in each hand - Total: 60lbs) 8 Dead Lifts (30lbs in each hand - Total: 60lbs) 8 Bench Press (30lbs in each hand) 8 Bent Over Row (30lbs in each hand) [Left - Right] 8 - 8 Planks 1min. Notes: This workout went well; I had a good rhythm going during it. It wasn't too difficult to complete, which I'm glad about, because it's been a while since the last time I've worked out; so luckily, I'm still feeling strong (just not as strong as before).

Thanks Swampling And yeah, taking things "easy" is the plan this time around. I want to get a good rhythm going, so I can keep moving forward, rather than try (again) to fix everything at once And yeah, I'm glad to be back!!!

Sweet! I'll be sure to follow both you and M I'll check in with you two in a little while; right now I've got a project I'm working on, but after I make some progress, I'll come on back Oh! And here's a link to my current challenge, if you're interested: The Legend of Will 10: Standing back up Again (And a link to The Brigade, because I forgot to link to it before: THE DAI-GURREN BRIGADE!!!) I just got my challenge up, so there's not much to it, but I have made some progress today: got in a workout. I'll go ahead and log it in later. Anyways, I hope things are going well on your part! See you soon

Finally got a new challenge up Here's the link: The Legend of Will 10: Standing back up Again

THE LEGEND OF Will 10: STANDING BACK UP AGAIN https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGB1fyssZTU Alright, I'm getting back in the game! For this challenge, I want to take is slow, considering I've been away for so long (and plus, my past challenges have ended in flops); so this time around, I want to focus on one thing and one thing only: exercising. Challenge Goals:Exercise 3 days a week, and that's it. I've struggled a lot in the past, and I feel it's because I wasn't being truthful with myself about where my limitations lie. I tried to take on too much at once, because I was ashamed of how far behind I felt I was, compared to where I felt I should be. That feeling is still there, but I'm going to do my best to not fall into it's trap. Even if I can take on more, I won't. I really want to make progress this time, in any way I can!

Alright team, it's the end of week three! Let's see some end of the week progress reports! I'm hope everyone's been doing great! I'll be around to check in on you all in just a bit (as well as finally put up my challenge)

Are you a part of an Accountabilibuddies group? THE DAI-GURREN BRIGADE is always open to new members I can get feeling like you need a Phoenix Down, I've been off track for quite a while now: I haven't worked out consistently (if at all), for quite some time; haven't been there to lead The Brigade like I should have; and have let anxiety and depression get the best of me, by procrastinating on moving forward and growing up. But I want to get back up! I want to move forward again! So how about a deal? If you keep moving forward, then so will I. What say you?

I second Swampling: where is everybody
