Deuce

Am pondering joining the Assassins for my next challenge and stumbled upon your thread while doing some research. So cool! Now I want to do all the things.

Home gyms are the best gyms 'cause underwear workouts are the best workouts. True story. What's the long thingy with the top and bottom bar (looming over the parallettes)?

Nice work on getting your workout in even though you weren't feeling well. I'm not very good at that!

Are you using a particular program for the straddle?

Thanks for checking in, Nerds. I am chugging along but hellaciously busy. Haven't had much time for posting as of late! I am finding, however, that my desire to look good isn't providing much training motivation. I think I may need to set some performance goals for myself... or maybe concrete physique goals as opposed to just looking better. Playing with the idea of getting all Assassiny next challenge and doing some bodyweight stuff. Dunno.

A wise warrior is always prepared.

Being a superhero is like 10% skills/abilities and 90% looking good. True story.

I purposefully start over with every new cellphone (other than my contacts list, I'm not an animal!) for this very reason. "You can't screw me up with your stupid import process, cellphone, because I won't use you! Ha!" My wife calls this the "cutting off my nose to spite my face" method. I highly recommend it.

I'm pretty sure it's illegal to say "no" to surprise Mexican food delivery.

My seasonal GIFs are gonna get a lot less interesting in November. I'll have to get more creative for Turkey Day.

BUT I WANT CHANGES NOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW! Thanks for the cheers. I appreciate them!

Have you started fasting? I've just started on week 2 and my body is still fighting it!

I ended Week 0 with a vacation, which is either the best or worst way to start a challenge. I'll let you know in four weeks. Currently struggling mentally with the scale. Last week I did really well sticking to my goals (vacation aside) and saw absolutely zero significant changes in my weight. Now I'm not actually looking to lose weight, I could care less what I weigh, but I am looking to lose a significant amount of fat and that should be reflected on the scale. I'm not changing anything yet, it's too soon to know whether my plan is working, but it's something that my mind has been spinning on. It's different than past experience dictates and that has me worried.
