COWABUNGA! Time to slap some peanut butter and avocado on top of your veggie pizza 'cause it's time to bulk with the turtles! 4 turtles, 4 goals, 4 weight gain! 1 - Leonardo - Maintain running and weightlifting. 12 week program is at 3 days a week and running at least 30 km a week (ideally across 4 short runs and 1 long run). 50% weightlifting, 50% running. 2 - Michelangelo - Bulking (food) Trying out the 12 week program I made and getting back to planning my food. I’m shooting to eat between 3100 and 3900 calories a day. I took some starting measurements on 2/6 and you can see them here. I did it in centimeters so that improvement is larger numbers (and I just plain like the metric system). My wife thinks I had her measure my shoulders wrong (the circumference vs. end to end). I am not shaped like a capital T. Points for planning ahead of time (50%) and hitting goals (50%) per day. I always allow weekends and holidays as an exception. 3 - Donatello - Finances - Still waiting on that performance evaluation/raise meeting, btw. My wife and I should both get bonuses this month so we need to see how much we have and what we want to do with them. Probably wipe out the credit card and start a savings account for a down payment on a house. If we see a way to save/make money we’ll try to take it. % of the bonuses used responsibly is the % completed. 4 - Raphael - Hobbies (Guitar). I want to get back to trying to practice now that my family very generously set me up with an entire electric setup and headphones so I can practice without disturbing a baby. I’ll sign up at Justinguitar.com at my brother’s insistence and see how they do what they do. Something guitar-related every week. I saw that Ninja Turtles concert live, btw. It had so little continuity an six year old fanboy noticed problems. 5 - Splinter (bonus) - Saturday is a rugby day! It’s peak tournament season which means my wife is streaming games on at least 2 continents every weekend and inviting people over. I want to make for a good game host so I want to try and knock out some good dips, snacks, and keep the house clean. Also, God bless the internet. That’s one of the local rugby clubs dressed up in ninja turtle jerseys instead of their standard uniform (Charles River Rugby Club). I want to clean and try a new recipe every week. This includes my wife's birthday party.
