Happy New Year everyone! I have been doing some thinking and decided to throw a challenge up for old time's sake! I am going to use inspiration fro one of my favorite shows to start working on these New Year goals. Workout 3X a Week with 2X a Week of Yoga to stay limber Day 1: 10x10 BP\DL Day 2: 10x10 OHP\SQ First is get my ass back in to a steady workout routine. I have been really unreliably working out the last few months with weeks in between lifting sessions. As everyone knows you can't be a Peaky Blinder without having the strength to throw down! Daily Family Meeting\Write Everyday Tommy is a master of communication and a real leader of his family. I want to start having family meetings every day. I do not plan on having big formal ones but mainly just checking in with my wife and kids and really listen to what is going on and that we are all on the same page. I tend to get stuck in my own world with work and bills so I know it would be really beneficial to us all to reconnect everyday even if its a simple hey how was your day. I also want to get back in the habit of writing. So it could be anything from a journal entry to writing here on NF just get some words down. Study 30min a Day Tommy is always looking for the next move to make to bring the family up to a better position. I need to get it together this year and start moving up in my career and the first step to make that happen is getting my CCENT certification which is half of a CCNA which is the ultimate goal. Side quest: Unlike Tommy who chain smokes his ass off I am quitting smoking. As of 12/31/18 I quit. I have quit previously for about 2 years but for some reason I picked it back up. So, I know all the drama it takes to quit and I am determined to make it happen. And That's it! Time to start the New Year off right!

Events are the teachers of fools. Hey everyone I am back from a long break and fashionably late to this 43WC. I wan't to channel my inner Doc Holliday and get back to business. For those of you who don't know, Doc was a Dentist who turned gambler and gunslinger when he moved out west for his health(Tuberculosis). Doc was known for his clever wit and intelligence often to a fault when his mouth got him in some hot water. I plan on continuing my studies for my CCNA certification. If I get this certification I can move up into a more prominent role in I.T and get some more $$$. Study for CCNA at least 30mins 6X a week Like I said, he has a way with words. I am currently teaching myself Russian and I want to keep up with it. Study Russian >20min 5X a week Doc traveled around the U.S and despite being ill he never let it get in the way of his goals. I need to get back into working out again after a few months of nothing. I previously followed a Powerlifting routine for close to year (Juggernaut) I had great success with it but I want to ease back into it and just focus on bodyweight stuff for now. BW routine 3X a week 50 Prisoner Squats 50 Diamond Pushups 25 Jumps 25 bodybridge extensions 50 planche Jackknifes 50 Step-ups (25 reps per side) 25 Pull-ups 50 Forward Lunges 50 Diamond Pushups 50 Inverted Rows 50 Squats 25 Chin-ups All of that gunslinging requires great dexterity and speed. In order to increase my flexibility and overall mobility I need to get some more yoga back in my life. Yoga >2x 20 mins a week.
