  1. Day 11 What I did today Solid day of work today. I got up late, but I also did my daily set of vocabulary flashcards, and did two practices for the GRE verbal section. There's definitely still room for improvement, but my scores are already looking a lot better compared to when I started. What I'm happy about Doing much better on my verbal section. Other: Hours of sleep: 7. Slept way too late last night, like 4 am lol. Hours of work: 4 Hours of Internet: 8? 9? 10? Gotta start cutting down on this. It's okay now because I'm still getting my practice done for the GRE and need the destressing to deal with the issues I'm going through, but I definitely need to reduce it later. Meals: Two...ish. Both junk food meals. Exercise: Starting again on Monday.
  2. Day 10 What I did today Dentist appointment and gre prep. But mostly just chilling with friends and watching shows online. What I'm happy about The worst of what happened on day 8 and 9 is hopefully passed over now. I'm not proud of so many things that I've done in my life, but with those things gone I can truly begin this new journey of self improvement. Other: Hours of sleep: Been sleeping a lot recently. Almost 15 hours again. I think I might be a little depressed after everything that's happened. Hours of work: 2 Hours of Internet: 8 Meals: 2 Exercise: Not today. Actually I felt extremely sore this week from having worked out on Monday. It was hard to even put on clothes and stuff. So I'm glad I took a little break from exercising. Will start again next week.
  3. Day 9 What I did today Sleep mostly, lol. I slept almost 15 hours and didn't get up until 2 in the afternoon. Still did some prep for the GRE though. I still do very poorly on the verbal section because my vocabulary knowledge isn't there yet, but I did do very well on math. What I'm happy about Still got them Algebra skills even after being over ten years removed from those classes. Other: Hours of sleep: 15 Hours of work: 3 Hours of Internet: 3 Meals: 3 Exercise: Not today
  4. Sorry to hear about what happened to your dad. Hope he gets better soon.
  5. Day 8 What I did today Quiet morning. Did some work for the GRE. Went to the counseling meeting I had at the community college. It was really good and I got a lot of my classes and stuff squared away. The afternoon and evening is when the whole day just went to hell in a handbasket honestly. I've made a lot of mistakes in my life prior to starting this journey and some of those mistakes really caught up with me in a huge and overwhelming way yesterday. My mom made me do a bunch of chores and it was really hard to get through those when all I wanted to do was go to bed and be alone. What I'm happy about I guess the counseling meeting went alright. I also learned how to break down a chicken and clean/fillet a fish, so I guess I learned something, even if I had the hear the whole time how bad I was at it. Other: Hours of sleep: 8 Hours of work: 1 Hours of Internet: 1 Meals: 3 Exercise: Not today
  6. Day 6-7 What I did today Wasn't a whole lot to write about; two generally quiet days. I cooked all my meals and worked out chest and shoulders following a workout plan I found online. What I'm happy about Not a whole lot. These days just haven't been very eventful. I have a meeting with a counselor at the community college tomorrow so I guess I'm a little excited about that. It'll be a nice change of pace to get me out of the damn house. Other: Hours of sleep: 7 Hours of work: 2 each day Hours of Internet: 8+ each day Meals: 3 each day Exercise: Yes for both days
  7. Day 5 What I did today Daylight savings today, and stayed up pretty late last night watching a movie, so didn't really get up until 12. Went running in the afternoon at the track near my place. Was super tiring because I'm really out of shape, but quite refreshing at the same time. Been making some meals for myself lately. Usually simple stuff like a sandwich or cooked chicken with rice and power greens. Loving it. Had a lot of urges to game today, so to get rid of those urges I ended up playing some chess online. I don't know if that counts as a relapse since chess does have a lot of positive effects on the brain. What I'm happy about I worked out, I cooked for myself, and I beat a lot of noobs at chess. Feels good not spending the whole day playing League of Legends. Other: Hours of sleep: 7 Hours of work: 1 Hours of Internet: 8 Meals: 3 Exercise: Running
  8. Best of luck this time around. You can do it!
  9. Day 3,4 What I did today Just a couple quiet days spent mostly with friends. Studied my daily 20 vocab words and did a couple of GRE sections, but mostly just relaxed. Went grocery shopping and made sure to buy a lot of fruits, power greens and other so-called "superfoods." Now that I'm exercising I really want to eat well as well to get the most out of that time. My ticket to delete my league of legends account was finally accepted and my character is scheduled for deletion on December 2. Finally got the confirmation email today. Been sleeping super late so I'm going to look to fix that tonight. What I'm happy about Getting a little streak going for studying. And spending quality time with friends. Other: Hours of sleep: 7 Hours of work: 2 Hours of Internet: 2 Meals: 2 each day Exercise: Mostly just running because the gym is so crowded on weekends.
  10. Day 2 What I did today I went to bed very late last night--almost 2 pm. I should definitely have gone to bed earlier but I was just so restless. As a result I didn't get up until about 9 today. Ironically I was really lethargic in the morning too and stayed in bed until almost 1 just watching videos on my phone. Did my daily practice of vocab flashcards. Went to the gym today. I'm super weak but it felt good to get some endorphins going. Not much else. Did a couple of practice sections for the verbal part of the GRE. Handed out candy to some children. What I'm happy about Slow start to my day but I was able to turn it around a bit. Still having some trouble staying on task with the internet sometimes, but I figure I can let it slide for now as long as I'm getting my work done and not gaming. As @CornishGameHen said it's probably best to avoid burning myself out too soon. Other: Hours of sleep: 7 Hours of work: 2 Hours of Internet: 5 Meals: 2 Exercise: Yes; Leg day.
  11. Good call to sell that computer, and sorry to hear about your relapse. It will get easier. Stay strong my friend.
  12. You went to a Japanese garden? That's awesome, I've always wanted to go to one. Pics?
  13. Welcome. Hope to see you more around these parts. Best of luck on that test.
