Swinging_Jarnbjorn Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Life is hard. I'll be harder. To wield Mjolnir, one must be worthy. I know that's not me, yet, but it will be. I've tried and failed a number of times. That doesn't mean I can just give up. Not now, not ever. So here we are again, on the raggedy edge. There's progress to be made. Let's do that. My goals: I'm going to work out, (Stronglifts 5x5 or cardio) at least 3 times a week. I'm going to track my food, either on paper, in an app, or in a spreadsheet. Every bite. I'm going to drink more water. Let's start with 1/2 gallon daily. And, I'm going to read at least 30 minutes every day. I've got lots of good stuff to read at home, including Steve's book, and now seems like a good time to get brains deep into some literary goodness. So that's it. Let's go to work. 2 Quote Life is full of hard times and good times. Learn from everything you can. Swinging_Jarnbjorn: Lv 1 Asgardian Ranger Focus Up! My current challenge.

Swinging_Jarnbjorn Posted April 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Heya Tanktimus, Atrytone, and Raxie! Thanks for joining this white-knuckle Bifrost ride to awesomeness! I look forward to this journey, and sharing it with you! @Atrytone, My favorite books are sci-fi/fantasy, but I'm reading a bunch of stuff, from the Princess Bride to Fight Club, and a few comics.

I haven't had the chance yet, although I've got the audiobook version in MP3 format. Unfortunately, it's fairly overwrought, in terms of the production, so I think I'll actually read it. 1 Quote Life is full of hard times and good times. Learn from everything you can.

Swinging_Jarnbjorn Posted April 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Hey guys! Sorry I went radio silent for a bit. Things on this end have been crazy. I'm behind on food tracking, okay on workouts, and about a b/c average on reading and water. How are your challenges going?? 2 Quote Life is full of hard times and good times.
