hyyy,
You don’t need to be perfect. Even if you have missed a day here or there you don’t need to give up. Keep going.2 -
I'm too old for this...but it's fun2

hey you yes you,
If your New Year’s resolutions/goals aren’t hitting just right at the moment maybe it’s a good time to reevaluate.
Maybe you didn’t lay out clear objectives or maybe you were overly ambitious. It’s OK to rewrite them right this minute. Maybe 45 minute workouts six days a week is not sustainable and doesn’t fit well in the context of your life. Rewrite that *kitten*. Make it 25 minutes three days a week. Don’t quit. Just adjust.
For myself, I am struggling with my resolutions to work outside 15 minutes a day and to juggle 15 minutes a day. It turns out that the dark & the cold is too much of a deterrent when I’m not getting home until late and that 15 minutes is far too long for someone who doesn’t have the skills to keep the balls in the air yet. I think I’m going to rewrite my juggling goal to five minutes a day and then will reassess at the end of March. As for the outside work, I’m going to try doing just five minutes a day and if that still turns out to be too much I will wait until the time change in mid March. Five minutes is almost nothing but it’s about building sustainable habits that can be built upon.
The resolutions that are sticking for me are drawing, reading, and lifting weights. I’m not surprised, because those are the things that delight me most right now.
I would love to hear an update from anyone who is interested in sharing. Not just people who are killing it but people who are struggling as well.
And for all of you people who said that New Year’s resolutions are stupid because it’s an arbitrary date… What are you doing now that it’s not January 1?0 -
I’ve been doing ok - fitness and nutrition wise - I’ve been slacking on reading - I’m not a big reader at all but don’t mind non fiction - I read one last year at your suggestion and liked it - and picked another to start this year - I have a few I would like to check it after that I’ve heard recommended on podcasts and what not - Im slacking on playing guitar- have only picked up once this year - but never set an actual goal on l that , just that I wanna play more - maybe I’ll start with 30 min session a week we will see -1

Cool! If you’re not opposed to audiobooks, I have found them very helpful when I couldn’t get motivated to read.I’ve been doing ok - fitness and nutrition wise - I’ve been slacking on reading - I’m not a big reader at all but don’t mind non fiction - I read one last year at your suggestion and liked it - and picked another to start this year - I have a few I would like to check it after that I’ve heard recommended on podcasts and what not - Im slacking on playing guitar- have only picked up once this year - but never set an actual goal on l that , just that I wanna play more - maybe I’ll start with 30 min session a week we will see -
Maybe you could set yourself a goal of performing a song or two once a month for a select audience…😁😉

I’m so excited! I can hardly wait! 🤝1 -
Isn’t it funny that after many years a song can bring back memories of a person so intensely. So to that person, I hope you’re well and your heart is happy.1

Watching your descent into the cult has shown me what I always suspected: you'll be whatever to whoever as long as you think gets you closer to what you want at that moment. Enjoy the Flavoraid.0

If you’re in the room where someone is being hurt but choose to do nothing…
It is because you haven’t the power, you are a piece of garbage, or you don’t exist0 -
Well that was exciting0

Upper body DOMS still makes me feel old & sad but getting better. I feel like I’m still finding the groove as far as mastering form and figuring out appropriate working weight. I think I’ve been holding back out of fear but now doing longer warmups (which I’ve always resisted) the pain is disappearing. Miraculous really. Sorry for the essay.
Also kind of waiting for my oldest to leave back to school today. He should be on his way in the next half hour or so and so I feel a little in limbo. I hate this feeling of him leaving and I’m going to try not to fall down the dark sad hole. Every time he goes I feel bereft so as soon as he hits the road, I’m going to head to the gym and make it an extra long session and then get a doughnut or something.1 -

Good deal - I always start with easy light weight to give time to perfect form-and add 5 lbs each week
When I can’t add weight I’ll add reps then try to
add weight the next time - it’s a slow process sometimes but as you know results come with consistency1 -
Makes sense. For whatever reason this program is making being consistent pretty easy for me.itchmyTwitch wrote: »@cowsfan12
