doctorake Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 So since I am in a much better mental state these past couple months and have moved back into my house after the ex left I figure I can now focus on the next 5 months. I have a lot of cleaning/purging to do in my house of junk as well as clothes and kitchen things. I need to buy some more furniture and set some things up here and there. My back yard is an overgrown mess and the garden is a nightmare. The garage is ummm, did a hurricane already come? So I am going to set some 5 month goals in here and refer back to them over the next couple challenges as well as challenge goals and weekly goals moving forward. 5 Quote OCEAN RANGER Current Challenge YOUTUBE ADVENTURES 2 X IRONMAN, 3 X half IRONMAN, 3 X GORUCK Challenge, 2 X GORUCK back to back, Way too many GORUCK lights Link to post

doctorake Posted August 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 So out of the blue girlfriend wants to go on a vacation this weekend. So I got my buddies condo in Key West for Thursday through Saturday night. Destroyed my goals plan but meh, you only live once. Current goal, try to work as close to 40 hours Monday through Wednesday as possible. Monday I got 12 hours. Also eat clean these weekdays and in the keys eat reasonably paleo, maybe drop a pound. That is all. 3 Quote OCEAN RANGER Current Challenge YOUTUBE ADVENTURES 2 X IRONMAN, 3 X half IRONMAN, 3 X GORUCK Challenge, 2 X GORUCK back to back, Way too many GORUCK lights Link to post
