Week 1, Day 5: Success every day on #1 and #3 to this point. However, I have yet to complete a workout (#2). I'm not going to make excuses about it, I just haven't done it. Maybe if I could find a way to get a workout in at lunch. I'm carrying on, but I don't feel very successful.

Day 1 Summary: Success N/A Success. I went to my brother's expecting to have to make some Will saves, but I was able to Take 10 (no snacks, yay) instead.Day 2 Goals: Continue the success from day 1. Get in a workout (BBWW).

Good job on the BBWW, I hope you didn't skip the stretch after the workout. It'll help with the mobility today (and the healing process for your muscles). Good luck with today's flexibility stretching.

Good job on the lunch workout. I find it much easier to stick with something if it has a "place" in my day. Sleep is a trouble spot for me too. Keep up the good work.

Day 1: We (the entire family of 5) slept in, well the littlest one didn't, but he and I snoozed on the rocking chair until everyone else woke up. In the crazyness of getting everyone out the door, I didn't have time to get breakfast. I did however pack some cereal to eat at my desk (it was good), and I'm currently drinking my first 500 mL of water. My challenge today is going to be when I visit my brother (an hour away) after work. We will be playing some video games (Halo 4, yeah we're behind), and that almost certainly means snacking. Plus I won't be in charge of what is for supper. Could be a rough night for my goals.

Obstacle courses abound! Depending on where you are and how easily you can travel, there will be more or less options for you. Here are some sites to get you started: Spartan Race Tough Mudder Warrior Dash If none of these are near you, then google: obstacle cource + your city, to see what comes up. I've done 2 Spartan Races (Sprint), and I love them. Good luck (hint: it's more fun if you can convince some people to go with you).

I have signed up for the next challenge. My progress can be tracked at Charging Pun's First NF Challenge, Again...

Cool story. I'll be reading. Good luck.

Very specific goals, I might have to redefine mine. We are part of the Level 1 Again club. Good luck, I'll be rooting for you.

First of all, thanks for the support. You guys are the awesome. So, some starter stats: Weight: 239.6 lbs Height 5 ft 7 in Waist: 41.5 in Belly: 43.5 in

For body weight exercises, try this.

You could supplement with body weight exercises while you are away (in place of #3). Just a thought. Good luck on your quest, cookie.

Nothing like a potentially-pending zombie apocalypse to add some motivation. Good luck!

Congrats on emerging from the shadows. One source of enjoyment from working out comes from seeing the results. Good luck sticking with it. Aside: 12 books? Wow. I'd be lucky to finish 1.

Kudos on challenging yourself (3 minute plank). I hear you on the cardio, blech. Here's a thought: For you strength training is its own reward. Add a reward to your cardio workout. For example: I hate running, but I love obstacle courses. Thus my reward for training running is a better obstacle course time. Just something that might help with your motivation.
