Yo! Nowhere near Wisconsin, but extremely virtually active. Travel Enthusiast, Entrepreneur and Wanderer with a passion for life design and encouragement. I make a mean stir fry and love working on and helping others kick ass at personal challenges. I am not strictly a runner, but I am an activity enthusiast and metrics nut, so I am sure I could be helpful. I am passionate about good data leading to great results. That means being very honest, not judging failure, but rather using obstacles as a means to drive forward. Sorry if the reply is a little short, I am at work tonight.

Way to let your light lead you out of dark places. Hope your studies are intriguing and satisfying. Also, when are you stateside? perhaps a few nerds would make a good tourist attraction

Maybe you have already tried this, but I have found that batch cooking my lunches for the week has really helped me this year. Also, Bards are amazing because no one expects a lute to the face...

Just thought I would pop in to say "You can do it!" Also do not underestimate the power of good reporting. If you are discussing your successes and failures everyday, your energy to put towards them will expand as will your excitement to succeed and report.

There are really only 2 things about home life that I am really picky about: Computers & Pillows . Now I am sure that a lot of people out there are going to disagree with this statement and regale me with the importance of feugshui sofas, guest soap and kitchen organization techniques and until a few years ago I would have laughed. And mostly I still laugh, but over the last few years, I have come to possess certain passion for my kitchen and the things that it allows me to do. Mainly: HAPPILY NOT STARVE And while I would love and will in the future spend some time talking about how this evolution took place, today I wanted to share with you the #1 skill this appreciation has taught me. Meal Prep. Now I am not a chef or a nutritionist, but I love the freedom of having a really intense creation session, and then having the luxury of enjoying the fruits of my growing expertise over the next week. So today I am going to share with you this week's Meal Prep Sunday Winner… THE STIR FRY I love the stir-fry! It is a monument to amateur enthusiasm and gastro flexibility. But more importantly for me now it fullfills 3 basic requirements. It's Healthy (yes I know that isn't intrinsic but its not at all difficult to make a healthy stir-fry) It's able to accommodate a variety of flavors without a significant change in prep time or complication Its Cheap! The average meal is ~650 calories and costs about $3 after tax So this is my stir fry standard, bear in mind that any of this can be altered to make certain flavors or tastes (I had a Texas BBQ chicken stir-fry last week). Just do whatever makes your mouth water! Ingredients 2 Rotisserie Chickens Deboned 1/2 cup olive/coconut oil (about 1 tbs per batch 8lbs Frozen Mixed Vegetables 2 2/3rds cup water Low Sodium Soy Sauce 2 cups brown rice (8 servings) LS Soy Sauce & Sirracha Seasons of the week (chipotle this week) So What I do is… Make Brown Rice in Rice Cooker (turn off immediately after done to prevent over cooking) Add 1/3 cup water and 1 tbs olive oil to bottom of pan. Add 1lb veggies Add 1/4 chicken Let cook for about 4 minutes Season to Taste Turn off stove (so it doesn’t burn) Serve into container Refrigerate Reheat in Microwave for 2.5 Minutes Profit. Makes 8 Large Lunches Below you can find the pictures of these epic lunches. Please feel free to critique, admire, or add your great ideas. I have a wide pallet, so I will happily create anyone's (healthy) ideas and post the results. Next time we will explore zen phase 2 of reclamation soup!

As I huddle over my desk at the end of week one, I am both pleased and a little disappointed. That being said there are a few guidelines of this challenge that I have had to remind myself of often, and i will remind myself again here. The task is not too small if it is more than yesterday. Finishing well is more important than starting well Good data/Honest Data is a vital resource in evaluating performance Facing harsh realities gives the ability to respond (Thus responsibility ) to them in a way that creates better ones.Ok So... Week 1. Goal 1. 1 room stays clean every day. Status: Failed... So I kind of shot myself in the foot with this one, in that I didn't start with a clean space. And before I knew it the week had gotten away from me. However I rebounded and on the 6th day Flyer said "LET THERE BE COUNTERS!!!" And there was!So even though I failed the first week, I did end the week with a very clean kitchen and a happier me. And even though I didnt do as well as I hoped, that does not keep the stakes from going up. So on week 2 we add a room.... The Bedroom!!! In fairness the bedroom may be easier in some senses as I don't spend much more than 8 or so hours there on any given day. But this will come with a few new caveats. Mainly hanging up my work clothes and setting aside my workout clothes when I am done. They are not snowflakes, they do not have to have original geometry. Also, The Bed must be made at the beginning and each week and pulled up to decent every day. So today I am showing off my starting points. So my 4th attempt at hospital corners... I know its not perfect. Thankfully I had my drill seargant nearby to correct my efforts. She is great for morale but somewhat lacking on logistical foresight issues like what goes on next. After an overly long game of find a way out from under the blanket, some vacuuming, incense and general tidying we are left with this weeks bedroom base-point... TADA!! Complete with obilgatory nerd-help book promo! Next we have Week 1. Goal 2: Exercise 4 times per week on the beginner bodyweight workout Status: SUCCESS!!! So I should clarify a few points. When I created this goal I was intimidated as FFFUUUUUUUUDDDDGGGEEE (or other less family appropriate words) so I decided that I would build to 4 by the end of the challenge. So the goal for week 1 was just to finish 1 which I did, just not the beginner bodyweight workout, but the hotel room workout since the warm up harder on my knees that I intended so I needed to no aggravate them too much. No Pics or stats this week, but in addition to raising the goal to 2 sets, I also want to get weight statistics and measurements. Week 1. Goal 3: Cook 10 meals per week Status: Failed So I may have technically succeeded here, but I really FEEL like I failed. I didnt prep any food so the food that I cooked was breakfast and probably 4-5 dinners. Now that might all add up to 10, but I can't help but feel like I was eating out wayyyyy too much and had an absolutely miserable time with random and extreme sugar cravings. So even if I managed to squeak over the line, I just KNOW that I can do soooo much better. So yesterday I managed to do 6 prep meals and a bunch of hard boiled eggs have plenty apples and some veggie straws for snacks. So this week the goal goes up a notch. I want to eat out no more than 1 time this week and have no more than 1 desert this week. Which leads me to my next post... FOOD!!!

Ok! Will do! Thanks for the warm welcome.

Hey everybody! Part of my challenge for March was to integrate more with the community by posting something to NF everyday. Additionally I have been looking to leverage my natural love of peoples and encouragement to fuel my own and hopefully some other heroes progress. So I wanted to post up the idea of a once weekly group call. Well sort of a call I host an incredibly advanced piece of connection tech called Teamspeak. This will allow us to bypass teh demands of our evil corporate overlords and HACK TIME ZONES!! So I wanted to put out a shout to those special people today who are in need of a voice of encouragement and accountability. I have initial openings for up to 8 and will happily assist or publish a howto setup Teamspeak video. I should also note that there are free apps for it on android and iphone. I am also open to the more traditional options of skype and hangouts if it's what the New Justice League desires. Please post below and I will PM you details Sincerest Regards Flyer

Coming from a very similar sales envrironment, I would ask you a few questions/comments for your process. Would you buy the things that you are not selling well? Yes/No Why/Whynot? and what would it take for you to do so gladly? Many times when selling objects that have alot of options a kind of pitch fatigue can set in and things we should describe with energy we pitch like a survey. "you want fries with that?" Have a coworker who excells at those things role play with you until you can emulate the language and the energy. Also (and this is not indicitave of you just somehting I know happens to most salespeople) don't sell with your wallet/value structure. What I mean by that is don't value your offerings based soley on what you would do. It is important to know their value, but its also important to let a customer determine the value for themselves. Often times features we weren't planning on become new enjoyments and reasons to keep coming back. Finally, breathe. focus on something fun that helps you. (I collect rejections) any customer will sniff desperation and it will nag at them and hinder their shopping experience. Accept that improving will involve lots of failure, tongue ties and rejection, but none of it is personal. It only reflects on your skill not your person. Go get em!

Deleted and moved to appropriate thread.

Greetings everyone. I will be working a lot this week to flesh out this thread for a more in-depth peak at my process as an adventurer. I am a long time adventurer and first time challenge participant and am excited to meet a few other nerds who view the world as their playground. In the spirit of things I have decided on 3 HIGHEST priority goals for this challenge, Have a clean house - 1 room per week added to the first. Exercise 4 times per week on the beginner bodyweight workout Cook 10 meals per week (im at about 5-7 already) so this isnt as massive as it sounds. As I said, I am not a rookie to personal development, but I relish the chance to start over as my life has seen alot of changes lately. I recently have enjoyed the LUYL and it was a great kickstart for new ways of seeing and enjoying the development process. I am also linking my personal character sheet...which I will keep updated as we go. Feel free to critique and such. Finally, I will/have already started a group for like minded adventurers who need some time during the week to chat. I host a Teamspeak channel, and will be doing a LFG with the buddies here soon.
