"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I'm about to start a cutting program.

I know that bodyfat scales are not accurate, especially for bodybuilders and athletes. I don't need for it to be accurate per se, but I'm wondering if it IS accurate in measuring PROGRESS. For example, let's say a bodyfat scale says I'm 23% bodyfat, but when measured at my gym with calipers I'm told I'm about 18% bodyfat.

Questions: Is the scale accurate in measuring and tracking my PROGRESS?
For example, let's say start my program and I lose weight (of course) and my scale tells me I've lost 3% bodyfat, can I rely on that number, even if the total % bodyfat number it gives me is itself not accurate? It's really a question of consistency -- if the scale tracks your bodyfat consistently, that's all I need. I don't need the number itself to be accurate at this point.

Thoughts?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

calipers don't lie, or at least provide consistent results

scales are worthless imo. I knew someone who dieted for two months, his abs came through, but the scale told him his bodyfat had gone up. uhhhh. (and no, he hadn't lost lean mass either)

I got a body-fat scale a month ago..
Up until now my bf % has been pretty consistent between 11% and 13%..
I'm not really sure about the accuracy though, i've never used one of those caliphers u talked about.
I hardly see abs unless i contract the muscles..

Well.. That's my 2 cents on this subject..
