Yet another update, the final update of the day. Beyond Limitless is truly something special and I find it hard to imagine what Quantum Limitless or even regular old Limitless would do. Will I ever find out? Who knows, that would be years off. Today, I spent two hours doing homework before class and was one of the best prepared in class. I didn’t even do homework for a second class and yet again, I was one of the best-performing students in the class. For this second class that I didn’t do homework for, once again, I was able to gather from the context of the discussion (and some quick skimming) enough about the source material to give the impression that I had read. Ha! It’s really amazing.
Will I ever find out what Limitless and Quantum Limitless are like? Honestly, I have no idea. That would be so far off in the future (based on how I’m currently seeing my path) that it’s not really worth considering. I was already kinda smart (school smart) because once upon a time I worked very, very hard, but seeing my smarts maximized (after only a cycle and a half with heavy recon from Khan) I’m pretty damn inspired. Sounds silly to some, but I now fully believe that I’m plenty smart enough to do everything I want to do in the near future. Sure, I’m no genius, but who said I even wanted to be one in the first place? 
Intelligence, for me, is just a means to an end–learning faster == more time for fun and living life and probably more money too.
Of course, I have to wonder if TB is making BL work better because it’s removing my hangups around being smart.
On the topic of TB, it seems that it’s really targeting my social hangups around men in particular, which is great because I love women almost more than life itself, but oh boy, do I want better friendships. I also just kinda love people, and it feels nice to be able to connect better. Plus, power and dominance don’t discriminate on the basis of gender.
What else?
Oh yeah! For months and months and months now (previous journals) I’ve talked about how Wanted has permanently lowered my body fat set point. Well today is a perfect example of what I’m talking about. Today, I ate 3,000 kcal worth of pure sugar (candy) in addition to a protein shake and a reasonably vegan taco bowl (total calories about 3,600) and once again, the scale refused to budge.
I also started working out again and that leads me to the second part of this journal, one of acceptance.
Accepting Human Limitations
I really hate the word “limitation” but I have to accept that even though human beings are limitless, there are certain biological needs (food, sleep, water and time) that prevent us from doing EVERYTHING we want to do. Let’s be real, we must sleep, we must eat, and we (appear to be) are bound by time.
I had to accept that I just don’t care that much about the gym. In the next few days, I will need to accept other things that I don’t care about as well. I must structure my life in order of priority, and gym is pretty low on the list. Does that mean I stop working out? Nope!
I must workout with the absolute minimum effective dose to achieve three key aims:
Decrease Recon
Improve Overall Health (cognitive, mental, physical, spiritual)
Get the best body that time allows
What does that mean? It means 2 days a week and I simply won’t work out more than that because other things are just more important to me. Will I ever be huge? Nope, don’t want to be either, I’m long and lean and that’s how I like to stay. Will I ever have a fitness mag body? Probably not, but I will have a male fashion model body and that’s what I want. Will I ever maximize my strength? Nope, and I really don’t care either. I admire the hell out of athletes but I’m not one and I don’t want to be one. I just don’t care. I don’t need to maximize my body and fitness to be happy, it’s just not my path, man.
2 days a week is what I’m willing to do, and it’s the minimum effective dose to hit all muscles and see improvement in all areas of life–including motivation (I recently learned).
So, having said all that. I worked out tonight and I made a 2 day a week full-body workout program. I’ll do a little hit cardio on those workout days for a little dose of cardio also. Once I get my physical shifting custom, all bets are off man. I will have the body of my dreams because my dream body is within reach. Brad Pitt in Fight Club, it’s really not that far off.
Other News
Saint replied to me (not tagging because I want him and Fire to keep working on the new programs), and really helped put my mind at ease about Khan. Maybe I’m like Saint and Alpha subs don’t gel with me, but I suppose I will find out soon enough. If I ever need to stop and change subs, well, I will. I take full responsibility for my stuff. I ask a lot of recon questions on the forums, but it’s always coming from the frame of mind of me accepting that I’m creating my own hell (by running more than I need to) but still seeking help.
That’s perhaps the final bit of acceptance: I’m stubborn, but I do listen. I listen to all of you (listen with my eyes) I just don’t always follow your advice as it’s given. I analyze what you say, think back on myself, and find my own solution. Often, I would have been better off if I had just done what I was told to do, and if TB sees this as a limit to my success, it’ll break that down also.
This stubborn/listen/not-listen thing points out another weakness I need to overcome: how I interact with people in general.
Okay, that was long but today felt like a breakthrough. Later.
