"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.

Anyone have any good programs/links to make my health/fitness more efficient? I got into home cooking and 1.5hr workouts but I've found between work and transit, I've got no time for anything else.

Templates would be ideal. Thx guys
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

You could try to just do a few reps of body weight resistance training, when you get the chance. An nice example is the routine Dean Karnazes uses ( Yes Ultramarathon man). He will do sit ups, push ups, or pull ups when he can (Like when he has writers block). But he also has a 4 hours sleep schedule, on which he just about runs two marathons per day on, and in between does strength training.

You could also look at his dietary measures as well. He eats home cooked meals, but usually doesn't eat many carbs, and trys to avoid starches.
 

"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.

My routine is about to change anyway, i've been taking the time to try out a bunch of different programs. Planning to work my way up to 170 (At 5'7) and then cut through a bunch of interval work, I have been bouncing between 165 and 155 due to missing meals. I was working out 4 times a week, but may cut to 3 and then box on my 2 days off (I find lifting weights is not psychologically satisfying enough -- i like sparring, wrestling, etc).

Freezing leftovers is a great tip, health frozen meals are good too. But I eat too much to have leftovers mostly! I've been trying to cook (which is nice for impressing the girls) but I keep finding it locks me into my apartment (in a pretty dull neighborhood).

Chicken breast and fish can add up pretty quickly too budget-wise -- I know there are some good guides (UD2.0, Precision Nutrition, Power Eating) but I thought I would ask around before buying a $80-100 nutrition plan.
