I decided to work on my cardio and perform the splits; two things I have always done poorly. Even though many people have given me credit over the years for my dedication, I now realize it wasn't dedication but my obsession for getting strong that fueled my desire. Now that I am focused on something that I'm don't like to do I'm actually feeling like so many others....unable to make it a ritual. I'm 6 weeks into my program and seeing great results but it is tough to comply I have weight training for 20 years, to point where no more strength or benefit could be acheived.

I use it to keep track. It's my way of implementing the Seinfeld calendar and build momentum. @seth: thanks. @Aaron – the calendar is just google: http://calendar.google.com/ I created a calendar for myself, and when I exercise, I add it to the calendar.

My wife is currently training for a big race and is using a huge wall calendar for her training plan--the line of X's is growing every day. She calls it the Seinfeld Calendar, though I've never seen the episode. Also, just wanted to comment on the nutrition plan and feeling hungry: Up until the last two weeks when I've been working with my trainer on weight lifting AND nutrition, every single time I have tried to cut calories by more than 500 per day I was starving and feeling those cravings you've described. But now, even on days when I'm exercising a lot (2 hours yesterday) I'm not hungry at all. I really think it is because I have increased my protein to 30% of my diet and decreased my carbs to 40% of my diet. I think it's the magic ratio of satiety for myself. Maybe it would work for you too? Scott: Great post here! My wife is currently training for a big race and is using a huge wall calendar for her training plan–the line of X’s is growing every day.

I've always used the public as motivation to achieve my goals, hence GFS! But I definitely see the benefits of announcing your goals after achieving them as well.
