Sheesh! I leave for like two months and you guys redecorate without me! Glad you didn't change the locks. I like the new look, but I hate when my whole post vanishes (which happened to me just a moment ago). Bugger. So ... I sort of took about 2 months off heavy training and I'm getting back into it. I also took about 2 months to realize that I have a seriously freaking ice cream addiction. Tried to quit cold turkey at new years. Lasted a week. Yeesh. So here's my new approach I treat myself on Friday IF my diet was clean the rest of the week. that gives me only one say to have bad food AND it gives me 6 days where I am motivated to keep my diet clean . if my diet sucks that week? I want a week. Fair. So far so good. Meantime, my goals are sort of like this: a: CUBE lifting and MovNat workouts to get back into gains and to train for the Mud Ninja b: Keep the diet clean (as mentioned above) c: keep money saved (the house needs to be evaluated soon and it will require some work) so I'm going to limit eating out to once during the week and twice (tops) on the weekend. This should save me some money to put in savings. So my REAL goals are: 15% lift improvement (from now) 10 pound fat loss (recalculated based on BFP loss, not based on just my weight) Save an extra 250 dollars. Rewards: Let's go with 15% lifts: 3 strepgth (+1 for every additional 5%) 10 pounds fat lost: 2 dex, 2 stamina (+1 stamina if it's more) 250 dollars: 3 wisdom (+1 for every hundred after) That gives me goals plus a reason to exceed them.
