"My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the ground on which I stand." That last sentence still resonates with me.<br /><br />You exhibited excellent self-control and will power. OUTSTANDING!Stephen Gurtowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12211735713091637170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-80882950993146128.post-32712150580034032012010-02-16T12:46:51.687-05:002010-02-16T12:46:51.687-05:00I have a few things to say.

But you already know this.<br /><br />2) Good job on the self control of the candy. However you're being to hard on yourself again.<br /><br />3) you have self respect, which should be more than apparent by the number of people who respect you. You try to improve and better yourself. You have friends that worry about you when you don't post. You inspire other people.<br /><br />4) I challenge you. Chest to the bar unassisted strict pull ups (no kipping). April 1st take a video, post by Saturday the 3rd, of as many as you can.<br /><br />Winner gets to eat a party bag of peanut butter M&Ms guilt free. Loser has to bear the shame. :)<br /><br />I find that I need a personal trainer to keep me going too, but I don't have one right now. I can't afford it, or to go visit the local RKC at the local gym. I don't know how I'll do on the pull up challenge, but it's why I picked a date, not a number.Chris Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12969869698106366643noreply@blogger.com
