"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Goal is to be shredded but the main consideration is to lose the excess weight and get myself into optimal health.

First two weeks will be strictly low impact cardio to get myself back to a routine and clean out my system. After two weeks I'll incorporate yoga, weights, HIIT cardio, HIIT weight training, and start building up towards the Kolat routine for push-ups and sit-ups.


Day 1 (10/1/14): Morning weigh in at 244.0 LBS Height 6'0 Ran a 5K at 4.0 MPH (very slow) on the treadmill , no weights, no HIIT as my body is terribly out of shape and not ready to handle weights or training yet.

Day 2 (10/2/14): Morning Weigh in at 238.2 LBS Loss of 5.8 LBS. To be fair I was fasting most of 10/1/14 and I had little to eat. I wasn't fasting to lose weight but fasting to get rid of the crap in my system. I'll run the 5k again tonight after work increasing to 4.1 MPH, I've had a two cliff bars this afternoon and I'll be making a variation of an Irish Stew from the Forks over Knives Cookbook and I'll eat 2-3 bowls of it. I'd expect to lose a few more lbs for tomorrow's weigh in.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
