"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.

Never been one to keep up on a journal, figured I would give it a shot.

My current supps are:
Mega Men Sport multi vitamin.
NO-Xplode
ON vanilla whey protien
Lipo-6 Black

I was up to 370 lbs (seriously) when I was living in Chicago (Giant burritos and BK were easily accessible and cheap) , always been a naturally large dude (6'5 barrel chested gorilla man 15EEEE shoes) but that was just out of control. I have already cut back down to 300 (298) as of yesterday.

I have started boxing again, my workout is not exactly structured, neither is my diet. I make sure to focus in the gym, I am the first one in and make sure I am the last one out.

Usually 2 rounds of skipping rope, 3 rounds on speed bag, 4 on the heavy bag and 3 on the double end bag. Plus any sparring I can get when I can get it. I am currently coaching a couple people, so I work with them on hand pads and move around the ring tons.

I have been testing intermittent fasting, going for a 19/5 eating pattern, but I find myself often not being very hungry (yesterday I ate after 28 hours of fasting) The point is to load up in that 5 hours

I am mostly vegetarian right now, my staple is sweet potatoes, occasionally chicken breasts or tuna and lots of fibrous raw veggies. Problem is I am definitely not hitting 2k calories everyday, and I honestly probably need more than that to remain healthy.


I am looking to get a membership to a 24/7 gym, so I can lift at night (I am a nocturnal critter) but I worry about over training. I still have tons of energy after my workouts and my recovery has been great. Even with the strange eating pattern I am burning fat and maintaining if not gaining muscle.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

3:00 two scoops of ON Whey.

4:00 I will be walking across town to go to the gym.

6:30 back from gym, went well 1 scoop of soy protein and 1 scoop of ON whey.

Energy and intensity is still off the charts, hard to manage, I am a bit restless and feeling pretty aggressive.

Did that ^ Leg workout tonight. Pretty killer, sadly my legs are very resistant to training, fat kid legs, they have always been ripped, which also makes me look like I have chicken legs.

Also lost another two pounds, that makes roughly ten since posting this journal.

Boxed yesterday and today.

Today I did four rounds of sparring 2 rounds with 2 opponents, they could not hang, need someone more badass to spar with.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.
