modan Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 So this is my first post in NF forums, I've been reading for a couple years now and always meant to join the forums so here it goes. I love the idea of building up momentum to new years because I do have some new years resolutions but also know the importance of building momentum with small steps. After new years I will be going back to my old job which is brutally hard (over 84 hr a week) and a means to end because I'm also going to be moving out for the first time at 22 which is very scary. So to build up my confidence as I'm finishing up school I'm going to set a goal to new years. I'm going back to my workout plan but this time to prevent me from burning out I'm not going to do any additional workouts or worry about my diet. Thanks for the article Steve it was just what I needed and I'm glad to finally join the message boards. Quote Link to comment

MattGannon Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Good plan with focusing on one thing at a time. You seem to want this bad, so go for it with all you got.
