really not tracking this week. Did IF today. Getting rid of some tempting food in the house and pre cutting some veggies to have on hand for snacks. Announced my goals for Nutrition to my co workers hoping for some support. I have been successful so far this week with the mini and pampering myself a little each day. I am looking forward to having Friday off. I want to get a menu for next week planned to set me up for a win. I will also be doing some research on local gyms. I will take advantage of the mild temps here and get a walk in also.

i know everyone thought I would choose a different song

Can't wait to see you kill those goals!

@Mr_Willes should make a new thread for this challenge!

Glad to see you again! Finally someone to drink good scotch with!

I try to keep you guys on your toes.

Glad to have you following! Thanks Headed into work this morning to feed the hung over crowds. More later

Together we can do this! No judgements from me! You really should do this. I will cheer you on. It makes me think about portions and what I am putting on my plate. You know me. I have to teeter the line. This keeps @Mr_Willes and @Wolfpool on their toes. Exactly.

Glad to be back Sis! Didn't we plan to visit @DarK_RaideR this year?

Time is ticking, I have till November before the big bad 50th birthday is here. I will also be celebrating 5 years on NF. ( ok last year really can't count since I was absent most of it but I like milestone year celebrations) Lots of good things in the last 5 but still striving. I am not going to spend much time on my back ground but if you have any questions just ask, or pm me. I am happy to answer. The he goal is still the same as 5 years ago. Get leaner and stronger. My two titanium hips have been a Godsend. (X Ray pics available if anyone wants to see). I have 9 challenges until my birthday. I will start with super simple goals and add to them as we go along. Nutrition. To be 100% Paleo by the end of this challenge. I have found that carbs are not my friend in the battle of the bulge. I also feel so much better digestive wise leaving grains alone. One problem I LOVE BREAD. I also love to cook. I am already a pretty clean eater. I don't eat much processed food and am pretty good with keeping sugar at bay. My portions need to be watched and my carbs are way to heavy. This goal will evolve each week but to start 1. Clean out the freezer and pantry. No grocery shopping in the month of Jan unless it is fresh produce, milk or eggs. One exception is when chicken breasts go on sale again since I am low. ( I am also cheap as hell too) 2. Post dinner pictures here for accountability. 3. IF on 3 days a week to start. Fitness. My gym membership expired in Dec so I will be shopping for a deal. Until this is in place my goals are 1. BBWW 4 times a week 2. Lift with home gym 3 times a week Lifestyle. This will change week to week. The first week it will mirror the Ranger Mini and I will Relax by doing something daily to pamper myself. This is the year to make my ideas into habits, flab into muscle and my dreams into reality. Ready for a year of adventure and a litlle music along the way?

Well twin, I am in it with you this year! My challenge is similar and will follow the same theme all year. Of course I do have 20 more days than you! Let's get this party started and Go Back together

The Rebellion could not be in better hands!

I'm all over this one and in with a Relax Feat....pamper myself somehow each night (Bubble bath, facial, pedicure ) and get that youthful glow back like Cher!

Howdy stranger! I too have been absent and just getting back here. I hear you about 50. Mine is in 2019 and I am using as some motivation. Looking forward to catching up with you the next challenge. I need all the accountability I can get. (And of course words of wisdom from my elder LOL)

Reporting for Mr_Willes ass kicking duty!

It really does make me feel good, but hopefully others too!

Missed you! I am back too. Doing to holiday shopping mini then hopefully back in full force for the next challenge.

Howdy stranger. I have missed you and thought of you often. Can't wait to catch up. I am doing a holiday mini then will be back in full force for the next challenge.

This is the perfect mini to get me in the spirit to start my next challenge. 1. Fitness. Do something towards my physical health every day. Doesn't have to be fancy. Maybe just doing 50 squats or taking a 20 minute walk. Something extra each day will motivate me and keep my focus. 2. Nutrition. Focus on portions. I am in control of what I put (shovel) in to my mouth. I will take a picture of my dinner plate nightly and post. 3. Lifestyle. I will do some sort of act of kindness daily. It could be a simple as making sure I thank a co worker or smile at a stranger in the grocery store who looks grumpy. It just needs to make someone feel good.

Chiming in with support. Part of being a good parent is showing your kids that you are human, taking responsibility for your actions, dealing with the repercussions and moving on to fix them. You are a better father then 90% of the population. Heather's family is getting out the anger they feel. Even though it is hurtful to you, it is better in the long run than pretending nothing happened. Hopefully in time they can move out of that phase. Remember you are a great Dad and a great human being!

Congrats on the job! Sorry to hear about your Mom. I know this is really a tough subject for you. I will be back now and will have a thread for the next challenge. Can't wait to catch up.

Howdy Sis! Next challenge I am all in for the "by my 50th birthday" goals.

Any room here for a old timer till the new challenge starts?
