Day 158: Being in bed before 23:153 Things I did well, no matter how small
- Afternoon workout
- Finishing the driving lesson review message
- 2 pomodoros at least1 Thing I could do better
- Plan simpler tasks for fast day, 4 pomodoros if that's my current norm, and other things like apt. search or german course (consumption). That is to say not to increase effort on this day I guess, but if I do these simpler tasks maybe I'll find myself retiring less to bed to escape the feelings of "fast day"Gaming (Death, Slavery, Regret, Disease) - 5

- Reduce the quinoa to a small fire and if it may burn a little, let it be. It's better than staying there and just watching it 15 minutes.Gaming (Death, Slavery, Regret, Disease) - 5

Being off social media for a couple weeks now made me realize I'm not lazy because of it or video games. It also made me realize I'm not even lazy. The reason I spend a lot of time on my phone is because it is my response as I live with my toxic controlling parents. I'm currently trying to get out by applying for jobs but the job market is really bad rn, so it's been hard. My mind truly wants to do random shit and live life outside of a screen, and do whatever I want. But it's hard when I have parents who breathe down my neck and judge me whenever I do something they don't approve of or criticize me for making a mistake. I don't really know what I can do right now to be independent and use my phone less while I'm stuck in this toxic environment for the time being.
Everyone has hardships. Do not allow this to become your excuse. It's okay not to know how to be independent and lose the phone less. That's why we're all here for.
But my advice is not to stop at this. My advice is to not say "I do not know how", but to ask "how may I do that?" Because that is indeed an obstacle to your real goals, the "reality avoiding activities" like gaming, social media, movies, etc.
Let me know if this makes sense. If it doesn't also let me know 🙂-

Food schedule 19.6 - 3.7 (Not including 3.7 - Thursday):
Everything remains the same except for
1. 1 Orange instead of 2
2. Almonds 10 more grams increase
3. Raisins to be replaced one for one with dates. (Quinoa and lentils to be cooked as earlier with 10g raisins and 17g cranberries per day)
4. Quinoa and lentils 60g quinoa per day and 35g lentils I think they're both important so I decided to leave them both however I've gone over the upper manganese limit with all the almonds, so I reduced lentils, it seems all my protein needs should still be met. Especially taking into account that i replaced the lentils with 20g quinoa
5. Reduced potato intake by 50g now it's 300g, also to accomodate for mangnese under 11mg upper limit
It seems that the overall calory count remains the same taking into account the reduction of potatoes and that quinoa is 50 calories less than the replaced lentils.... (Potatoes 40 calories less) and almonds added only 60 more calories so I increased dates to 75g
6. Dates to 75g instead of 60 this adds additional 42 calories which means everything is even now
7. raised coconut oil to 50g to give another 45 calorie boost leaving me at an overall 45 calorie surplus to accomodate for my activity increase
Summary for myself
-1 Orange
-Almonds (+30 at lunch and dinner each)
-Dates 75g
-Quinoa 60g
-Lentils 35g
-Potato 300g
-Coconut oil 50g
Once more If there is something I simply didn't write but was planning, I allow myself 'till Friday for clarifications
Clarification same day: Till lentils run out, old standard of previous entry applies
Clarification same day 2: (10:12 am) Potatoes are also to be used as is until they run outFood schedule update 3.7-17.7 (Not including 17.7-Thursday):
Everything remains the same except for:
1. Cranberries 15 daily added instead of 15 dates total 100g per week when cooking.
2. Coconut oil on the long run days 65g instead of 60g
3. Almonds to be added 10g daily as i keep increasing my physical activity
4. Day order may be changed, if that happens, the biking day I shall eat like the jogging day + add 30g olive oil if I do 4 hours
5. Any changes may be added if i forgot something until the end of friday
Clarification 06.07: Since number 1 is really unclear, I mean, are the Cranberies added or are they replacing? Are they only added when I'm going to cook, or am I going to have to add them to the already cooked dates? I'm clarifying, they;re going to be REPLACING the dates 1g per 1g, and that isw going to take effect since the next cooking -
