Thanks Minna! Not many portions for me today though. Gym got sacrificed to take my fiancee to the airport, but I'll make up for it in the morning. At the very least, I am determined to do laundry and iron my shirts tonight. It sounds like a dumb thing, but it will save me like 15 minutes each morning and is just one less thing stopping me from getting out the door. Maybe it'll be worth a quarter portion?

Technically this is not a respawn, because I've never really "spawned" in here before. But I was lifting and had some good habits going and I was just about to start posting...and then I started an intense new job and my poor fledgling habits were crushed. Now that I've figured out what to expect, let's get back to it and jump in and kick this quest into high gear Also, I've decided I'm to go assassin so that I can just get my workout done and not have to wait for the station to clear. Plus I want to do some handstands like Luke Skywalker. Physical: -Body weight work out three times a week. Diet: -Take a lunch five days this week. Batcave Habits: -make all lunches -iron all of your work shirts at one time and plan outfits for the week ahead -pack gym bag the night before -update this forum on your progress I think that's a good start. If I can just establish those habits, I'll be well set up for the next challenge. Bonus points to me if I can avoid stress eating this week, but I'll save that problem for the next challenge. Now if only I could get that Force thing down...

That spreadsheet is amazing. I am in awe of your plan. Will definitely be borrowing some ideas for mine!

Hi everyone. I just joined the rebellion. Actually writing that down in a forum is a big step for me. I am a classic lurker, afraid of whatever post that I write will make me sound dumb, or like I don't know what I'm doing. In fact, I'm kind of like that in life too. I over analyze every challenge to the point of paralysis. Every time I've wanted to get in shape, I have done exhaustive research on the best programs, the best techniques, and planned something out. I ride out that buzz from good intentions through one or two workouts...and then I find myself back on the couch, dealing with stress by shoveling handfuls of M&Ms into my mouth. Then months go by when life starts to weigh in on me more and more until I start the cycle over again. The thing is, I know that I have the potential to be courageous and follow through on things. Earlier this year, I stood in a courtroom in front of twelve strangers and convinced them all, beyond a reasonable doubt, that a man was guilty of molesting two children using nothing more than logic, words, and wit (he was guilty, the guy was a monster). I want to be that guy that I am in court all of the time, and preferably without needing to spend weeks planning my every action. So I am here asking for some help and some buddies who will help me build my character. I'm a wizard (read: lawyer) who wants to be a warrior. I want to be able to walk up to a seemingly impossible challenge and absolutely know that I have what it takes to conquer it. I want to build myself up to the point where when life comes at me, be it professionally, personally, or whatever, I know that I can just do a barrel roll and I'll be fine. Any advice on how you have been able to keep your willpower up and stick with a program? Particularly if you have a demanding job?
