SevenofSeven Posted December 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Hard to believe but my eldest baby turned 22 years old today! Oh my gods! I have been with Roly for 23 years this year, the sad kinda thing about that is because he is FIFO, we have spent almost half of that seperated from each other. I think it is time for some relationship work, where yo start? 3 Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment
AugustaAdaByron Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 FIFO? I suspect it's the last one but I found all of them amusing. (Sorry for you guys spending a lot of time separated from each other though.) Happy Birthday to your son! 1 Quote Level "I have no clue" Warrior Current challenge Battle log Link to comment
SevenofSeven Posted December 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Fly In Fly Out! The others were interesting though. It must be reflection time. Thom has posted he is thinking about Challenges, me too, on the way to work. I have decided to keep my current Battle Log, I lost my first one because I am not keen on poking around looking for it, I have limited time on the internet now and it would be looking backwards.So I am just updating my beginning speel to this log. I have some solid goals I really, really want to achieve and I am going to try the new format for 4Week Challenges. 6 weeks were not successful for me. Sticking with the Warrior Guild, but in two minds to do the RPG thingy, my nerdiness does not fall to gaming. FIFA every now and then.Tomorrow is New Years, so will update everything then. For now I need to change, smash out some deadlifts and get ready for New Years Eve celebrations. 3 Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment
Thom Stépan Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 The four week challenge will hopefully kill that mid challenge slump. It will definitely fit in better with my monthly measurements. We can rock our third year dear friend.

SevenofSeven Posted January 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 3 yrs on NF? Great job on consistency. By the way, are you training for size, strength, or a sport? Training has been solely for mental satisfaction, and a little bit on the strength side, due to needing to lift heavy people for the Ambulance every now and then. However saying that I have dabbled in Bro lifts and I will be shifting focus for this year to more aesthetics. I can't continually call my eating habits "bulking" if I am not going to eventually "cut" So 2016 is two fold, cutting and bro-ness! Annndd to keep up with all the sons! 1 Quote Wait!

peelout Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Is losing body fat your primary goal this year? If so, whats the plan? Also, curious as to the reason the neck size would increase. Is that from increase in trap size or is body fat moving around? Quote Current Challenge We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.

Also, curious as to the reason the neck size would increase. Is that from increase in trap size or is body fat moving around? Losing body fat is a goal this year (I still have to write all that up!), sick of looking like a potato and all the assumptions from people that come with that. Who knows why the neck increase, I'm just happy my third chin has not reappeared even at this weight. Normally there is little definition between chin, jaw and neck at this weight. So win ???? 1 Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment
Thom Stépan Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 I do see some movements in the right directions there Seven.
