My goal right now is to lose the stomach/thigh fat that has been an annoyance to me for several years now. I'm not overweight, but I hate being able to grab a chuck of my gut in my hand, esspecially since I've been working on my abs but they won't show because of the fat in front of it. I also keep swearing off sugar but always come back to it for one reason or another. Highly considering getting a Planet Fitness membership because that's the closest and cheapest gym to me even though it's a normalnig hangout that actively discourages effort.

Update on goals, I'm on track so far. My short term goal was ten hours of training in one week before the end of June. I trained 1 hour a day from the 10th to the 19th, with today and yesterday off, so I just have to bump it up by 3 hours in the next 7 days. 

To clarify, the one week 36 hours training goal is just for 1 week, not something I intend to keep up. The way I plan on going about it is to do one 3 hour session in the morning, one 3 hour session in the evening for six days. I plan on making an attempt soon, maybe from July 5th to the 10th, just to gauge how far off I am. Maybe I'll make it sooner than I thought I could. We'll see.

Reporting my missed short term goal. I only trained for 6 hours this week. I need to develop my working capacity more. In my defence there has been a heatwave and it was 100 degrees Fahrenheit inside the house, nevermind outside where I usually train. Anyway, I'll keep working at it.

My main goal is losing my stomach before bulking back up in a "cleaner" way rather than just getting fat. I started keto 2 weeks ago and I've already lost a bunch of the initial water weight and some gut fat (down about 10 pounds). I'm probably about a month more out from being at the point where I can see my abs.

After that I want to be at 200 pounds and actually look good (wide in the chest, not round in the gut, for example) which will probably take to the end of the year to even begin to achieve. 

As for weights, if I can squat 280 by the end of this year I'll be ecstatic. I'm at ~200 right now, started with just the bar mid-January.

I just want to stop being extremely skinny. Alongside that i can already do 40 pushups under 30 seconds, i want to push that to 50 in about  2 months. Some abs would be great to go with that but it could wait.

I am fed up. I am done with meme workouts and diet plans including cardio, running, and everything else. It's time to drop the bullshit miracle workouts and go back to what worked: just fucking lift. I don't care that a gym membership at any other place besides (((Planet Fitness))) is $45 a month, I will not step foot in that anti-lifter shithole as long as I live. The gains begin tomorrow.

Thats my nigger, crush these weights tomorrow. You got this.

My goal right now is to lose ~2 inches off my waist. It's a pretty simple goal, but later I want to build muscle and get stronger. Baby steps.

God speed anon.

I am slowly working towards completing the 100 push up challenge, and making some good progress. How are you anons doing?

Starting to get into the habit of hitting the gym every day and paying close attention to what I eat. Finishing off the last of my alcohol/sodas and will abstain except for the occasional glass of good whiskey and/or Chivas in honor of Hunter Thompson

I think I will call it a win.

It was very difficult on the first weeks, and I constantly failed to complete even the smallest daily goals.

After the first month went by and zero progress had been made I started to think of giving up, but I continued on. I failed hard still, and the more I failed, the more I thought I would fail again next time. Until it happened.

I woke up one day, made my todo list and thought to myself: I am gonna fail this anyway, so I don't really have any need to worry. This fatalistic outlook, although filled with doom, felt very light. It felt as if I had been freed... But I didn't think much of it at the moment and carried on.

I completed the entire list that day.

The next day was one of estrangement. I could not understand why I was able to do it by literally giving up. So I decided to try again while thinking: This is not really gonna work again, so there isn't any need to worry.

I completed the entire list again.

I must admit, I felt angry at that point. It had been frustrating to fail when wanting to achieve, and although I had finally been able to achieve, it was only so after I wasn't expecting to actually do it. 

I spent some time thinking about it, and then I realized it.

What allowed me to follow through my goals was not that I was expecting to fail, but that I had given up on expectation itself. Previously, I would think how much I am lagging behind and how much I had to do it otherwise all would be lost without it. There was no way I could concentrate with this constant pressure, so I always hesitated and procrastinated. But as soon as I removed the hope, there was no weight to act, and I could just be.

I have been repeating this since that day and it worked flawlessly.

The biggest takeaway I think is: you can't really walk a trail while gazing at the destination.
