Interesting. The predominant thought during the row: Workouts get done on birthdays.
Must be scripting because I’ve never had that thought before!

4/22 Morning Time!
Going hard today! 
5 min Generator -First time this length with a Terminus track
I think Imma chill on this for a bit, see how I feel today. I can always listen to more.
Yeah man. All done now, and my brain doesn’t feel stuffed. Win!
These new modules tho… Generator will have to be completely rebuilt when RoM/ME/AsC are updated, instead of the quick rebuild reorder. I see some nice potential for a KB4 custom, maybe with WTP core. Also a KB4/Alch4 custom. chef’s kiss
Some of my old customs were built with the synergistic effects in mind and in the build, so i could potentially revisit all of them and par down/redesign.
Still liking the LB aura. My goodness, this stuff is fire! I sorta wish I had some drive or a goal, because I can see how this could be useful in that regard. I am instead an experience collector, and I know at some point in the future my time with these subs will benefit another via some story I’ll tell.
Kinda wanna put BDLM with LB and some relationship modules together. Synergy: Beyond Connection seems perfect. I could actually double down as I have both Soul Connection and Transcendental Connection modules as well. NDE/NRE? Maybe. King’s Radiance? Who knows…
Big blowup this past week, after my birthday: Oldest child was trying to drop out of tuition free college. I was going to allow it, but she would have to move out. A few days of stress before she changed her mind. This one issue coming up repeatedly is getting tiring to my wife and I. Here’s hoping it’s behind us.
DnD last night was fun. My monk’s rifle is currently in the shop, so Gun-Fu is working with a Pistol. The sewer monsters are tough!

4/24 Morning Time!
Had a row yesterday. Still on track; all goals met. Actually, only 2.5 more weeks until I’ve completed this portion of muh workout path.
Gave myself 30 seconds each of KB4, Sang, and LB right after the row.
I’m continually surprised with how good I’ve been feeling on LB. Both my wife and I are listening to it, and our relationship has been really good lately, with the changeover being noticed when I switched from GoodTimes to LB.
Still debating on the day’s listen; if i should skip or not. Maybe a lil bit.
1.5 min Sanguine
1.5 min Love Bomb
I think I will wait for the next round of released SYNERGY modules before ordering the next custom. I like a few of the ideas in the suggestion thread and would love to be able to incorporate them in my next build.

4/26 Evening Time!
This morning’s listening:
1.5 min each of BDLM, LB, PN
Worked an earlier shift today as I was asked to judge an event on campus this evening. PizzaShaman is popular with the students. 
I’m taking the wife as it’s an easy date night.
I noticed something interesting today. A lady came through for food today. I’ve seen her around before, crossed paths with her a couple times. She was always polite but I could kinda tell she didn’t care for me. That’s fine, as I’m not for everyone and everyone is not for me. Today was different as I got a greeting from her and a smile.
The difference from before to now? The change in listening from WB to LB. That’s it.
These auras are real, ladies and gentlemen!

3 of 3 for the week, 17 weeks completed!
51 workouts!
Quest complete!
Not the best row to end with, but I was up at 3am yesterday for my son’s surgery and up at 4 today for a big day at work. So I’ll take it.

I decided to give the new Heartsong a listen today. 30 seconds. I’ve been hesitant because I did not have a great experience with it prior to the NSE update.
After my 30 second loop ended, I proceeded with 7 minutes of my Generator custom. I usually plan out my week while I’m listening, at least major points I want to hit (like workout goals). Sometimes I will have an intention about what sort of attitude I would like from my wife. Today, I was thinking that I want her to be kind to me. Not that she isn’t normally, but yeah. As soon as that thought was done, another rose up immediately- that I show kindness to her! It was …hmmm. Intrusive and insistent, but the thought came from me, this I know.
It has persisted and morphed a bit, where 20 minutes later I’m trying to figure out how I can show my wife some sort of kindness today.
Most interesting, SubClub!

Currently in the midst of a multi day fast with my wife and son. I started getting more strict on my intermittent fasting right after Memorial Day; my brother in law has had much success for himself with this, as was evident at the family picnic, and I felt the prodding to pick it up again. I managed to get my son on board this time (a major win) and he seems to understand what’s involved. This fast right now is actually his idea. He wanted to do a three day fast so here we are. Our relationship (son) is improving as we spend more time together as well.
I’ll admit I’m feeling hungry. I could really go for some butter chicken curry right now. Garlic naan too.
Work has seen the departure of some of my coworker friends, as they left for greener pastures. I left my DnD group as well. It was time! I’ve turned my attention into inquiring about obtaining education through my place of employment. I’d like to be able to transition into a different line of work in a number of years, and I’m finding out if a partial online/partial in person attendance path is possible to work around my employment. Things are looking pretty decent so far. Thankfully, after having worked there for years, I already knew the people I need to talk to.
Big difference in things with my wife in my switching from WB to LB. Our relationship is more loving and much improved.(Duh) Big difference in me as well. The rowing motivation has vanished again. It feels like the pause I had after I completed Rowvember, so I know it’s not permanent. This dayshift work schedule has not helped things either. The answer will present itself soon enough.
Side note: As there is ASBR and it’s no fame version, I’d love to see a WB version without the DTF/harem aura. my wife didn’t like it!
I’ve finally been able to move past 30 seconds of TWTP and the recon that it produced. I did 60 seconds yesterday and today has gone well as far as recon goes.
I would like to craft a custom with some of the synergy modules but, aside from updating my Generator custom with them, I’ve had difficulty in putting one together.

I think the closest we currently have to WB without the harem scripting is Daredevil.
Both WB and DD have verbal mastery and social skills so DD might just be up your alley. Especially with its adventure and story telling skills.

Paradoxically, the difficulty you describe is a good sign. I believe it’s coming from the fact that you are grounded in really living life.

Various studies suggest that intermittent fasting is most effectful (for losing weight) when you place the fasting period overnight. For example, eat only until 4pm and fast until at least 6am. It helps not only loosing weight but also in helping your body do its repairs and removing “junk” from your body.

I know. My eating window is a bit different to accommodate my work schedule. When school is in session my window is 3pm-9pm. I sometimes like to have a snack when I get home from work. I have some Zeal (by Zurvita) in the later morning with my vitamins and supplements; I don’t feel like it messes with my fast.
I got serious into fasting about 4 years ago, and it helped me finally break the 275 barrier I’d had for years. I get lazy from time to time though, and just got over a lazy spell with my eating, thanks to feeling the prompt from my brother in law’s success.

I want to take a week off from listening rq as I got my anniversary coming up. I’d like whatever I listen to for Anniversary sex to have superior execution with nothing clogging the brainwaves. We’ll see if I can pull it off.
My wife is starting new HS today.

I’ve noticed a few things lately.
-
I believe it was last week when I had the sudden realization that the “thought stream” that has been showing up from time to time is my subconscious, communicating with me. I’m thinking it’s a combination of my time with RoM and the Inner Voice module. The experience is wild. I think I wrote about my mind telling me to switch from WB to LB and I’d get better interactions with my wife; upon retrospect that was one such instance. It’s like…something happens. Could be anything, any sort of stimulus. I’ll feel a surge in my brain, flowing from somewhere in the base in the back to the middle of my head, and I’ll have a thought stream giving me information.
-
This one was unusual to me: My time with KB has removed my “need” for excessive variations of sex. Hmmm. That’s not worded well. Porn sex? Any desire for anything past doggy, missionary or bj’s is gone. I care more about her level of presence during the act.
-
The HS aura is different from the LB aura (duh) but I’m seeing the difference in having added HS to my “stack” (I use that term loosely in regards to my listening). Hard to put into words…
-
HS working on muh marriage: It seems as my “stack” changes, my algorithm changes and my feed changes! Saw the Paired app on the Book, and started that with my wife. A disagreement on how she answered her questions a week into it brought up some old shit in my head. I had to reprocess my feelings on that again 4 years later. At the end of it, I’ve gained the realization (the Knowing) that she is not interested in seeking anything outside of our marriage.
-
I haven’t rowed in maybe a month. It’s going to be longer until I get back to it, unless I really work Spartan back into things. Been considering a reimagining of HeroWork and swapping TWTP for RM:UX. Hero, Spartan, TWTP. I like the concept for a long term sub for myself. Back to rowing: It’ll come back as I want to participate in this year’s Rowvember Challenge and win it again.
Yeah man.

Wedding anniversary yesterday- 21 years. We’ve made a lot of progress together over this past year, and I believe SubClub products have contributed to that work.
A PizzaShaman thank you to Fire and SaintSovereign and to the collective here on the forum: Your words have been so helpful!
Back to the beach!
