Makes me want to go kill it at the gym right now.
Me too! But I promised myself I wasn't smoking another cigar for at least a week.
I think I need to unpack the rest of the living room before another cigar night happens.

Hiiiiiiiiiiii.

BigM has minions to post minion gifs for him.
Pretty much.

Right? Glad I hadn't written my challenge yet because I would just have to redo it after reading that article. O.O

I love that article. Amazing.

You recognize that there is a universe of difference between "it's cold out so I better stay in" and "I am gradually able to pick up things that weigh up to one pound," right? Just checking! Keep on keeping on, listen to your coach and you'll come back better than ever.
This x a bzillion.

"No-one's has ever done anything like this..."
"That's why it's going to work."
Sometimes it's just time to move everything out of the way and focus on what you can do to make yourself successful. Like Neo. Do the unexpected!
Tomorrow is my first batch cooking day, and I'm sorting of looking at it sideways wondering what's going to happen. Translation: no watching 'Lost Girl' or 'Sherlock' till food is made.
Batch cooking plan:
Cook chorizo and spanish rice.
Sautee veggies w/ butter, salt and pepper.
Prep and throw chuck roast in the crock pot.
Roast sweet potatoes ?

It's all about the little things.
I didn't consider them important. Then I realized 2013 was all about ignoring little things, and that didn't work. AT ALL.
I'm going to have to take that back. Even if I didn't meet any goals in the gym or in the kitchen, I did discover who I am. That's the most important takeaway from the last year.
The most exciting thing: I like who I am!

Thanks! It was a lot of fun!
It was really good to realize that I enjoyed the gym. Going on a saturday was pretty cool!

This is absolutely true. It is easiest to observe in sports, where maniacal attention to the little things is what separates the very talented or gifted from the truly great. It's easy to be in awe of a Michael Jordon, LeBron James, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Dale Earnhardt talent or physical gifts. But when you listen to them you find that they've practiced the little things for ever.
Ray Allen in last year's NBA finals made a last second 3 point shot to save game 6 for the Heat and send it into overtime. Turns out he has practiced for years laying down on the basketball floor, then getting up and running to a spot on the floor and shooting a shot...without looking at his feet to make sure he is behind the 3 point line. That is almost exactly what he did last year, after practicing for over a decade. He didn't have time to look at his feet and he had to make the shot or they would lose. Nothing but net.
Edison with his 10,000 things that don't work, Franklin with his 2 questions and 13 virtues, (http://ethicsalarms.com/rule-book/ben-franklins-two-daily-questions-and-13-virtues/)...the list is endless of men and women whom we consider great who did the little things everyday.
It's all about the little things.
I didn't consider them important. Then I realized 2013 was all about ignoring little things, and that didn't work. AT ALL.
My new perspective:
It's really about every moment, every bite taken, and every rep done. No excuses, but no crazy goals either.

I saw this movie a couple years ago, but something on a blog brought it to my attention again, and it's something to consider.

How is that working with how I live my life? The reality is, I usually skate and hope that everything works out. I do something, then I get bored, and do another. I bring lunch to work, I commit to being different. Then I become lazy and quit. But life is more than that.
It's not about the goal to bring lunch to work. Or even about what I'm doing at the gym.
I'm starting to believe that life is about little things that are done to make big things possible. I used to think details weren't important, but details matter in the scope of life.
I'd rather be known for showing up and trying, instead of never doing. Consistency. It's where it counts.

Hey! Welcome from another seattle person!
My honest take on it?
I'd say it's way too low in calories. I'd suggest eating to satiety and not worrying about it. The low carb high fat is great, especially if you go into keto (which is a good thing for low carb). But you're probably going to be happier w/ 2200-3500. 1600 calories isn't that much. Hell, Jason Seib recommends more for that for a woman with medium levels of activity, and I'm assuming you're a guy based on the name.
If you're actually following a low carb high fat plan, there's nothing wrong with fat. Butter, heavy whipping cream, ribeyes...or bacon! Have fun! And good luck!
Also, here's something more on calories: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/the-context-of-calories/#axzz2pJpLQKtV ...and about eating on a primal plan (primarily low carb~ish): http://www.marksdailyapple.com/definitive-guide-to-the-primal-eating-plan/#axzz2pJpatWR9

Edited my goal #4 to exclude computer time from "time for myself." There's such a substantive difference between mindlessly internetting for any period of time and deliberately taking 10 minutes to read or stretch, and I want to make sure what I'm doing is the latter.
10 minutes to meditate! Calm.com is the bomb!
And I know what you mean. I think I casually web surf for 1-2 hours a day.
I need to spend that time cooking or....something. Damn.

oh no he's a carb a phobic now. He won't even eat sweet potatoes. I have to beg for reasonably sized food portions. Good thing I'm in charge of breakfast every day.
Good thing is right.
Though that's weird. Doesn't he actually *do* crossfit?
Doesn't he need carbs for his activity levels?
That's like adrenal fatigue waiting to happen... *sighs*

If you're already very low carb, and fasting, how do plan to do lower fat?
7 days a week workouts, with all of the things you do...have you considered a refeed instead of just cutting food? It might be worthwhile to explore other dietary options instead of just cutting nutrients. Your body does need food every once in a while!
