| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - January 01, 2019I am curious to see which way she goes. I had considered the possibility of her going through a bought of hysterical bonding, but also knew it would be short lived. Initial thoughts were to ignore it, if it happened, but I may consider other options. | /r/MarriedRedPill | 08/01/19 07:55 PM |
| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - January 01, 2019I was a day early, I got a bit scattered briefly over the last week. I'm 6"6' so the 245 means I look better in clothes than naked but still better than most guys my age and many younger ones too. Telling her turned the wife from indifference to hate. I doubt she is coming back and I don't see myself ever taking her back. I told her I wanted out for a reason. The guys have been understanding about it but I didn't think they should have to be. I gave my friends up years ago for the wife pre-pill … | /r/MarriedRedPill | 08/01/19 04:51 PM |
| 2 | Own Your Shit Weekly - January 01, 201946 years old; 245lbs; 16%BF I went out on New Year's Eve with the new girl and the STBX asked if I was going out with a woman. I said yes. Don't ask questions you don't want the answers too. She has now lost her shit and the seperation will proceed quickly but she has become way more adversarial. I have maintained my calm despite the rage and shitty comments and will continue to do so. I think if it wasn't the other woman it would have been something else that she choose to rage over. It was pro… | /r/MarriedRedPill | 07/01/19 02:09 PM |
| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - December 18, 2018This is something I have absolutely struggled with in the past and is something that I have been working on now. It was something she resisted as I improved as I think she was already checked out when I started this journey. Right now I am only fucking one woman as I navigate the exit but it is something that I have been bringing to the new oner a lot better. I will read the linked article to see where I can improve. | /r/MarriedRedPill | 27/12/18 10:31 PM |
| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - December 18, 2018The FMOFY was in there in my summary, but happened a few months ago. Not a fan of them, too much like negotiation, but I told her one night simply that I would not tolerate the current level of sex. Hamster said I was pressuring her and she maintained that to the end despite it being the only thing I said about it in 6 months. | /r/MarriedRedPill | 23/12/18 11:57 PM |
| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - December 18, 2018Thanks. I will check out Tom Torero as I am reading a lot right now. | /r/MarriedRedPill | 23/12/18 04:11 PM |
| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - December 18, 2018I am not sure what if anything I missed or did. Having said that, comfort is a weak point of mine, at least with her it was. Mainly recognizing when it's required and providing too much in general. It was like a switch though, so I took it to be she figured I was going to stay, and didn't have to anymore. She tried to string me along and either start a fight or shame any attempts to be with her, and based on past experience she probably figured that was going to be enough. I don't think I will e… | /r/MarriedRedPill | 23/12/18 04:06 PM |
| 3 | Own Your Shit Weekly - December 18, 2018To quote her "I decided I wasn't going to have sex unless I wanted too". It quickly became apparent that what she wanted was never. The great sex we had been having seemed to point to some attraction on a gutteral level but I think she had lost her emotional connection and rebelled against the idea that she had to fuck me to keep me. She has always been one to cut off her nose to spite her face. | /r/MarriedRedPill | 19/12/18 03:27 AM |
| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - December 18, 201846 years old, 6"6', 242lbs, 16% BF Lifts are going well. Doing a push/pull with some strength. Shoulder injury has held back bench but DL is well past 300 now and I am hitting 526 on the leg press. Will be working on flexibility in the new year as I attempt to squat again. Weigh is up a bit after a few months of travel but back on track. The last post I made here was a success story of sorts. Wife was respecting me, fucking like a champ and things were turning around. I dropped off here to focus… | /r/MarriedRedPill | 18/12/18 07:45 PM |
| 2 | Own Your Shit Weekly - March 13, 2018I haven't completed any yet. Just started researching and reading. But I have found a local class on getting started and some kits that seem to be best for total noobs like me. Planning on starting there and seeing how it goes then moving on to some whole grain kits and ultimately perhaps my own recipes. | /r/MarriedRedPill | 15/03/18 01:32 PM |
| 2 | Own Your Shit Weekly - March 13, 2018Thanks for that and the gold! | /r/MarriedRedPill | 14/03/18 12:24 PM |
| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - March 13, 2018Thanks. Patience was hard for me at first as it is with a lot of guys. But remembering that it took me 22 years to fuck it up, I figured I could certainly take a month per year to see what I could change. | /r/MarriedRedPill | 13/03/18 06:19 PM |
| 2 | Own Your Shit Weekly - March 13, 2018Thanks. I think it literally did in my case, I was very close a few times, and being there for my son was the only thing that pulled me back each time. Who knows if the next time he would have. | /r/MarriedRedPill | 13/03/18 06:14 PM |

| 17 | Own Your Shit Weekly - March 13, 2018One Year OYS I have been a part of this sub for a year now. It seems like just yesterday I was a sniveling little pussy that wondered why his wife was always berating him and wouldn't fuck him. I have been taking a break from the sub for the last few weeks to focus on what I need to do, and will continue to do so for a while. I was focusing too much on the discussing, what others thought of my path, reading and the theoretical too much and the break has allowed to me shift focus. This is going t… | /r/MarriedRedPill | 13/03/18 01:57 PM |
| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - February 06, 2018I have been watching what she does, and there are lots of things that do not add up to her wanting one, but others that do. I agree that sex two nights in a row after that bomb suggests otherwise and really confused the fuck out of me. Having said that she threw it out there and I want to be prepared with at least a cursory discussion with a lawyer. No direct benefit to telling her, but she has ties to most if not all the law firms in the area so I may as well be upfront about it. Also, I have n… | /r/MarriedRedPill | 06/02/18 07:12 PM |
| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - February 06, 2018No direct benefit, but she works in a law firm and has possible ties to one of the girls at the office I am going to use as well as pretty much every other one in the area. I may as well be upfront about it, not like I have anything to hide anyway. | /r/MarriedRedPill | 06/02/18 07:06 PM |
| 2 | Own Your Shit Weekly - February 06, 2018Feb 6th 45 years old; 6'6"; 243 pounds; BF 17.7%. Body fat has dropped a bit this week, and weight is trending down. Missed a day at the gym last week, at least it was leg day I missed. Friday night we were hanging out talking in the kitchen having a couple drinks, when she asked why I was smirking at her. Just smiling, in a good mood I says (as I was). She then proceeded to get annoyed because I wasn't taking her anger at me smiling seriously since I was still smiling as she got more angry.

| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - January 30, 2018A lot of the conflict is over basic stuff, come down stairs, brush your teeth, pick up type things. I expect it to be done when I ask and he will say no, then dig a trench and return fire without compromising whatever position he picked. Part of this is me wondering if I am being too mad/demanding when he doesn't comply and starts yelling that he wont do that. As Man_in_the_world mentioned I might do better with more AM and I likely combine that with going back to a tactic I have used before, wh… | /r/MarriedRedPill | 30/01/18 11:06 PM |
| 2 | Own Your Shit Weekly - January 30, 2018I am very consistent with the AM on his I hate you stuff, I don't worry about that. I was trying to see if it was more of an indicator of my being too much of a hardass with him. I will try and add more AM to the encounters overall and see if I can diffuse the situation earlier. | /r/MarriedRedPill | 30/01/18 11:00 PM |
| 2 | Own Your Shit Weekly - January 30, 2018I have fallen into the reason trap a couple of times but I do my best to check myself if I try as I know that is a lost battle before it even begins. | /r/MarriedRedPill | 30/01/18 10:55 PM |
| 2 | Own Your Shit Weekly - January 30, 2018Jan 30th Weight - 243lbs, 17% BF. Deadlifts went down when I wasn't doing them due to the injuries but they are going back up now. I am comfortable at 225 now but I will be back at 270 in a few weeks. Bench has really dropped at 145, but with a spotter I am hoping to get it back up. I was pumped that I had reached 500 pounds in incline leg presses last week, but realized I had an extra 25 pounds in the calculation due to an incorrect sled weight, so I am back to 475 and pushing for 500 in the ne… | /r/MarriedRedPill | 30/01/18 01:48 PM |

Macros better last week, I have added more protein naturally but still want more so I will be looking at a supplement. For the last week I have been focusing on calling her out on things in both a serious, and teasing tone depending on the situation. I have been making sure it comes out in a timely manner, in the moment if possible, and as soon as I see her next if th… | /r/MarriedRedPill | 23/01/18 02:13 PM |
| 2 | Own Your Shit Weekly - January 16, 2018Jan 16th Physical good last week, meeting calories, gym and cardio time. Weight down to 246 and BF at 18%. Macros are ok, but I do need more protien so I will be adding some either suplementally or through different food choices. u/Man_In_The_World called me out on a few items in last weeks OYS, most notably that I was doing the dancing monkey attraction plan, and there was some lingering ego and covert expectations. I have been, and I am dedicted to getting rid of the covert expectations and al… | /r/MarriedRedPill | 17/01/18 07:44 PM |

| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - January 09, 2018I travel for work sometimes and that time alone has always benefited me greatly. Maybe you are right and I need to consider overnight lone trips if I am not away for work. | /r/MarriedRedPill | 09/01/18 11:45 PM |
| 2 | Own Your Shit Weekly - January 09, 2018Jan 9th Physical is good this past week, started losing weight again and have met my gym goals. I am liking the new high rep program but miss some of the heavy lifts. I threw in a couple DL's today at about 30 or 40 pounds lighter than I was lifting before I hurt my back and my ankle, and I did ok with my back so they will be back in the rotation. A bet with a buddy has revitalized my weight loss and motivated me a little extra through some competition. Last week in my OYS I, quite deseverdly, g… | /r/MarriedRedPill | 09/01/18 08:23 PM |
| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - January 02, 2018Thanks for a well written and well thought out reply. I had a long drive by myself for work the day you posted this so I was able to think about a lot of it on the way. It also brought to my attention that I do not sit quietly and introspectively enough in my daily life. I need to add this. There are small things that I consider basic adulting, not talking about mopping or sweeping or any of those types of things that can be covered by a cleaning service, that are being missed. I have suggested … | /r/MarriedRedPill | 04/01/18 04:01 PM |
| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - January 02, 2018I can only surmise she did at one time but that was a lifetime ago. I think she likes the new me on some level but just before I started to improve something snapped in her and she was done with my bullshit or something along that line. Looking back I don't blame her in the least. We still have fun sometimes, still co-parent well, still fuck when she has been drinking, but it all feels roomatey. Am I a fun guy? With her, sometimes yes, but the lack of responsibility she shows towards the house a… | /r/MarriedRedPill | 03/01/18 01:36 AM |
| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - January 02, 2018I don't really grasp the concept of OI OI means you try to have sex without caring about the outcome of the initiation. You want to have sex, but if you do or don't have sex, either way its good. If she says no, you can move onto something else without a worry in the world. I'm reasonably sure I COULD do well if I was back on the market Part of abundance is testing the waters, especially for those of us who were afraid to talk to other women and were all wrapped up in the one we have, but its up… | /r/MarriedRedPill | 02/01/18 04:22 PM |
| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - January 02, 2018Feb 2nd Weight was static over the holidays, which was expected, back on it this week. I got lazy with my form and didn't take my time last week coming back into the DL's. I did my first warm up set no problem, put on another 45 pounder for the second warm up set and quickly did a single lift. I felt something in my back go pop or something, and dropped the weights and ended my DL's for the day and for another week or two to come at least. I believe I pulled a muscle so I have been taking care o… | /r/MarriedRedPill | 02/01/18 03:40 PM |
| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - December 26, 2017I had not expected any sex that night and wasn't actively working towards it since shark week had just started. Neither of us really care one way or the other about that, but usually in the first few days she is not in the mood, so I had no intentions for that evening. It made the lack of interest a little more perplexing for me since I wasn't trying for anything, she basically started it, and then went hand over the face not into this fairly quickly. I have done the caveman in the past, and did… | /r/MarriedRedPill | 31/12/17 01:23 PM |
| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - December 26, 2017I had a good hold but I could only really control the forward and lateral movements not the way she arched her back a bit and brought the hips down along with her ass. I was thinking I would try verbal commands next time to better direct things. It is an area I need to improve in anyway. | /r/MarriedRedPill | 29/12/17 01:18 AM |
| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - December 26, 2017Definitely one of her subtle ways of initiating, but it was late at night and there wasn't any time for me to flirt and be fun with it, more of a down to business thing, thus my confusion with her lack of interest in it. In the past I definitely obsessed over sex, is possibly linked to my previous porn issues, and the blue me wrong hole shit was me being a giant pussy and afraid. The two incidents in question from last week were not complicated though, I was giving her a pounding from behind and… | /r/MarriedRedPill | 27/12/17 11:15 PM |
| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - December 26, 2017I was definately cognizant of the high volume of she in there. There is no question who the improving is for. Rereading that comment I don't know why I added it as there isn't value there for me. | /r/MarriedRedPill | 26/12/17 11:31 PM |
| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - December 26, 2017Dec 26th Mixed bag of a week, weight is 246, BF at 18%, and I did all my workouts. Ankle held up for the leg workout, so they are back in. Food tracking partially suspended for Christmas week and eating sensibly instead. I was in a really foul mood last week, and I let some of it spill out into the family. I will read more on stoicism this week and next. Two nights ago she basically put herself in a spot so that I would initiate. I did and she really wasn't into it, hand over her face, which is … | /r/MarriedRedPill | 26/12/17 01:53 PM |
| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - December 19, 2017Dec 19th I felt like previous weeks have been focusing too much on where I am winning without a good look at where I am not. I am keeping the free format, but trying to refocus on improvement and where I am not doing well. Last week I had no gym time except for one day. Got a stomach something early in the week, which took me out of commission for the rest of the week. Back in the gym this week and weight is still down, BF is just into 18%. Ankle is almost completely better so I will be happy to… | /r/MarriedRedPill | 19/12/17 08:02 PM |

Mine recently told me, "you know, you could post that picture of us on your phone I like on FB if you wanted to, or whatever, you don't have to". I kind of blew it off because I don't normally post anything on Facebook, and it was really a half-assed request from my origina… | /r/MarriedRedPill | 15/12/17 09:17 PM |
| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - December 12, 2017Maybe I am missing something, but this sounds more like some harmless flirting to me and nothing much to worry about. It does not sound even remotely like an emotional affair based on the information you have set out here. Everyone will be attracted to someone else while married, you and her included , and you are right it is what they do with that. Any woman that is not a complete troll is going to be flirted with, and will enjoy the validation it brings. Her hamster will provide reasons why it… | /r/MarriedRedPill | 15/12/17 08:55 PM |
| 1 | OI and not being butthurt: Development tips?Excellent breakdown. I would throw tracking her cycle in here as well. I found when I was starting I would wait for opportune times according to the cycle calendar but was missing out on other opportunities because it wasn't a 'good time'. | /r/askMRP | 15/12/17 06:43 PM |
| 2 | OI and not being butthurt: Development tips?Just going through this as well and the bulk of my previous frustration and initiation were nothing more than mode B validation seeking. Now that it is mostly gone I am left with either I am not as horny as I thought I was or I am not as horny as I thought I was for my wife. It is probably a little of both when it comes down to it. I have been slowly accepting my own requirements for sex are my own, they fluctuate, and that they don't have to meet some artificial minimum set by anyone else.

| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - December 12, 2017You will probably get lots of next her if she is having one comments, but I think it depends on the man and the situation. For me, I felt that my wife wandering into that territory was a direct result of my actions and I was willing to own it, move on from it, and ultimately it drove change in me and helped me get out of the anger and resentment I feel like you might be mired in right now. That was driven by some insightful comments amongst the ghost her, and next her stuff that most seemed to f… | /r/MarriedRedPill | 15/12/17 06:01 PM |

You are no where near making that choice. You are focusing too much on fucking her, you are still caught up in the validation you receive from her, you are deep in her frame and worried about what she thinks and does way too much, and you are still trying find that Disneyesque marriage with her. Did you notice a lot of her in there when I talked about your focus? You are not focu… | /r/MarriedRedPill | 15/12/17 03:20 PM |
| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - December 12, 2017I have been playing around a little with the neck the last few months depending on where she is in her cycle, mostly light stuff like you mentioned. I was trying to be facetious with that over the top response, but I forgot where I am where that is a legit response that someone might give. It was likely worry over the bloopers getting a hold of this and running with it, I know it is a sore spot for them. I will edit the original for clarity.

| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - December 05, 2017The thing that really got me was the 30 or so minutes of her being angry because I told her a BJ (still no idea why this sent her over the edge but I suspect it was never about that) and the crying and general crazy that led to this statement. There was a great lesson there for me. I think it reenforces that it doesn't mean your not getting laid just because she is [insert emotion]. I briefly slipped to my old ways and worried about saying I wasn't satisfied with our sex life, but snapped back a… | /r/MarriedRedPill | 08/12/17 12:51 PM |

Here I am thinking about some strategy to improve this, Why not get a bassinet that goes right beside your bed and keeps the kid close for her, granted she has to move to get it to latch, but it is right there. Think about just buying it and setting it up, telling her you want the bed back and the kid can sleep there? For me, my bed is mine, no kid, no dogs, nothing.

Recently I had I Aint No Nice Guy by Motorhead playing, and she commented that I was a nice guy as I had just done something for her at that moment...I was glad to be called an asshole the other night as I was worried I was moving in the wrong direction.

| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - December 05, 2017Not impossible, that is true, but it can vary wildly in calorie content so I stopped adding it... or more likely I am fooling myself and that is just an excuse to eat like an idiot. | /r/MarriedRedPill | 05/12/17 07:12 PM |
| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - December 05, 2017I have been and can be very much in control of my eating. I chose to be a little less of a control freak at this time, but I do I measure all my food and record everything. I try to allow a few beers here and an eating out there but it's impossible to record restaurant food. That is the slippery slope as I try to not be a complete food control freak, have some fun as well as meet my goals. Clearly not working as there has been a lot of exceptions lately. I have already put a plan in place to hel… | /r/MarriedRedPill | 05/12/17 06:32 PM |

Trying to find a balance between the extremes when it comes to eating, and I have swung to far back in the other direction. I have done no leg work or deadlifts since last week when I turned my ankle in the most un-heroic bicycle incident ever, but I have kept up my upper body routine.

| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - November 28, 2017There was no fear or shyness or anything like that in the covering, we were already fucking at that point and I think it was more of a power game for her. She wanted me to pin her down and take them so I did and damn I enjoyed it. I was trying to be a practical thinking about the safe word but I just made the connection. Many months ago before I started my journey she alluded to some shitty sex we had as rapey. This is almost certainly the core of this hesitation on my part and why I questioned … | /r/MarriedRedPill | 04/12/17 01:56 AM |
| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - November 28, 2017I thought it would be weird to do it if you had already agreed no sex as well, but might she just be on autopilot and doing what she usually does to shut it down preemptively without thinking about it. | /r/MarriedRedPill | 29/11/17 08:47 PM |
| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - November 28, 2017Is the date night drama her way of ensuring you won't be having sex later? Especially if it is a pattern? I suspect I get this from mine more than I thought initially. I wanted to put it all into the shit test category but the more I see, the more I am able to seperate the two and sometimes she is just doing her best to make it so I won't initiate, or if I do, she has plausible deniabilty in her anger. We can't I'm mad at you! | /r/MarriedRedPill | 29/11/17 02:15 PM |

Christmas party was a good, talked with quite a few of the wifes co-workers and for the first time at one these functions, left her to her thing while I talked to other women. She actually commented the next day that at some point that one of her friends asked her where her h… | /r/MarriedRedPill | 28/11/17 07:51 PM |
| 3 | Own Your Shit Weekly - November 28, 2017The use of the term porn addiction always bothered me personally, it screams victim to me. Poor me, I can't quit because I have a disease. Maybe making it an addiction is a license to fail for you? If it is an addiction, when you slip you don't have to take responsibility for it...you can say it was just my addiction flaring up again.

| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - November 28, 2017I do not, as before, immediately fold when she mentions she is unhappy with something. Six months ago, if she would have mentioned the floors are dirty, my response would have been "Ok, I can take some time to clean a bit tonight then". My wife used to lead me with those types of comments as well, trying to get me to do whatever cleaning was bothering her at the moment, and yes like a chump I did. Lots of us have been there.

| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - November 21, 2017I am thinking of going higher reps as I come out of 5x5 into a new program, and trying to keep the volume, but either way I will keep the OHP in the rotation for sure.

I haven'' t stopped benching, just stopped adding weight past where I am comfortable so I am atleast still moving forward, just slower than if I had a spotter.

For me paralysis by analysis has always been a real problem, one I have been working on.

I don't currently have a gym partner so I have been nervous lately with the bigger bench lifts without a spot and I find that I will fail, AKA give up, much sooner than I would with someone to spot.

| 2 | Own Your Shit Weekly - October 31, 2017You are right on both accounts. For me in this case happiness is not intended to come from the thing but from the freedom of letting myself be me and enjoying something I want and that is a world of difference. Maybe happiness was the wrong word, enjoyment perhaps? I do not intend for this to change me to a happy person.

There have always been a lot of women after him, but I can't always see the why. He checks some of the Alpha stuff but is a complete bitch in other areas. His wife just had a miscarriage about a month ago, and he might be turning to my wife for comfort as well. In retrospect, that was a very important point I should have mentioned. | /r/askMRP | 05/08/17 02:49 PM |
| 1 | Action vs. Over-reactionThere is 100% no question in my mind over unacceptable it is. I have been getting better, but still struggling with the comfort tests, mostly with identifying them from her, so my response in that arena is not optimal. | /r/askMRP | 05/08/17 02:33 PM |
| 1 | Action vs. Over-reactionI will not let it go unchecked, that is for certain but what is not certain (to me at least) is how to proceed. I have some cracks in my frame, she hasn't adjusted well, and as /u/Sepean correctly surmised, I have likely gone a little too far on the STFU and withdrawing. I don't want to use a nuke if I can nip in the bud. | /r/askMRP | 05/08/17 02:11 PM |
| 2 | Action vs. Over-reactionExcellent thoughts, and precisely what I needed right now. You are probably on the money with how hard I have gone on STFU and withdrawing. It does change it for me at least some. My comfort giving has been low lately, she was being pissy for a few days before I left on business so I had withdrawn a bit, and I have given what little comfort I could remotely but it isn't much.

Alan Thrall Try sumo dead lifts See if your gym has blocks or mats to raise the weight. This has helped me immensely Move to the big plates quickly if you haven't. The 45 pounds are higher.

| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - July 04, 2017I have always chalked it up to her mother who is the same and a semi-absent father figure when she was young, but I see a drunk captain in my FIL and a MIL that is the captain and doesn't want to be, so maybe both the MIL and wife have just shutdown as they captained. In the end, it doesn't matter why she is like she is; the stay plan is the same as the go plan.

| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - July 04, 2017She is definitely not one for touching or being touched by anyone ever. I can touch her arm etc briefly but she won't linger after a hug and usually doesn't even want one. I will get the stiff board, arms down, no interaction hug if I go in for one most times.

| 1 | Own Your Shit Weekly - July 04, 2017Because I dismissed touch during some sex down time, I had clearly associated it directly with sex in my mind. It was not something I did consciously, and I didn't realize it at the time. Because of that direct correlation I had made, I think I also took the downtime on her part as allowing me to coast for a bit and not put in the effort.

Had to use two blocks under the weight and a sumo lift so I could keep my back straight but I managed to keep it mostly straight and didn't seem to tweak the lower back.

I look thinner and more defined in the mirror. I found myself wishing I had started doing weekly photos, I will start taking them for a point of reference since the scale has not been moving too much lately.

It also amazed me how deep the blue programming goes as initially my mind started to come up with reasons why I fucked it up, but it was 100% on her and I knew it, so I snapped out of it quick, but the fact it even occurred to me was sobering and a grim reminder from where I came. | /r/MarriedRedPill | 19/06/17 04:54 PM |

The goal and the current number is something that helps drive me so I use it to my advantage. Having said that, you have a valid point, and I can certainly appreciate not focusing on the number in of itself as it is a trap I have fallen into before in other areas of training.

It isn't too far off, but based on a quick dive into it, I am probably more in the 18% to 20% range and not 21% to 23%, so I would like an alternate view.
