I'd suggest having a daily journal in the daily journals section and posting every day, the posts may be very short but consistency is key. That's what cam also says. Joining in on the congratulations. It's not a shame to fall, but it's definitely a shame to stay down. Keep at it. But don't forget that the needs that gaming fulfilled for you, will most probably need to be replaced one way or the other, sooner or later. (Temporary Escape, Measurable Progress, Challenge, Social)

You could just write a line or two, it could take 2-5 minutes. I believe you can prioritize it for this amount of time every day. What do you think?

Entry 20.11 (Written at 21.11) Day 63: No Useless Videos Day 61: Sticking to Food schedule Completed a double workout which is great, but skipped jumping push-ups the first time in a millenium probably. The thing is, that probably the combination of cold and the hard floor made me feel super hard impact when landing and I got scared that I might hurt my wrist. Will try to combine it with my next workout tomorrow (today) Sliding with the meals to the next day the second day straight (Meaning I eat parts of the meals of the next day a bit after 00:00 ) Instead of the defined time, spread in 3 meals) Today is the first day after a while that I ate a complete breakfast according to schedule ( Apart for dates and brazil nuts which I didn't buy yet) I think I had a little bit too much water in it though, because I felt extremely satiated afterwards. Thinking how to obtain the 1 year visa. I ran into an option that I was aware of but now made me think again which states that i need about 25,000 EUR for a visa of 1 year in Spain, I have therefor been brainstorming how could I get this amount relatively quickly, considering that I now have about half the amount. Thoughts that popped to my head were becoming a car salesman, but I realized I don't have a license, and I do not want to acquire one yet. Then I thought of doing real - estate sales. I know that one sale there may mean very big comissions. Some even may get me the whole 12,500 EUR in one sale. So maybe I should take up a middleman sales course in real estate? Other optionss that need looking into furter: -Working as an independent in Spain. -Could I be considered a highly skilled worker for something? (Perhaps my lifeguard or airplane mechanic certifications could help?)

Glad to see you're still at it champ. Though daily updates would be more effective in my opinion 🙂

Entry 19.11 (Written at 20.11) Day 62: No Useless Videos Day 60: Sticking to Food schedule Today the headache got only worse and worse, and eventually I could barely move. after completing 1 single pomodoro I slept for 6 hours from 14 to 20 because of it. At 20 the only thing that drove me was my promise to my new apartment partner to buy toilet paper. So that I very very slowly rolled out of bed, then sat down slowly, then stood up. Never underestimate the power of very small actions that start your momentum. Despite planning to do a chest workout today I did the bare minimum run of 30 minutes ( seems like a strong loss of discilpine and will have to do a double workout tomorrow. So to sum it up I have attented each one of the 5 reasons for the headache in the previous post at least partly. 1. I checked on the internet how safe is tap water in madrid and it says it is one of the safest in the world. So for now I believe it is not the problem. 2. I slept 6 hours today. Although it was a sort of doze off, it should have taken care of that part 3. I turned off all the heating that I could and opened windows, that means there's also smaller temperature contrast when done with shower and workout. 4. I washed the sheets on the bed and clothes. The floor and other posible dust sources remain unwashed. 5. I have found and bought almost all my regular nutrition (Apart for some nuts and Dates which I will look for in the days to follow. Let's hope it helps with the headache

Regarding getting a to do it's great. But, make sure it's prioritized, because otherwise you're going to procrastinate on the most important things possibly.

What do you mean end of step one? When you say serenity you mean the quote of seeing difference between the things you can control and not control?

Entry 18.11 (Written at 19.11) Day 61: No Useless Videos Day 59: Sticking to Food schedule I have skipped a part of my evening routine and dozed off (namely, writing on the forum and in the diary. And also putting dry plates in the closet) I am completing it right now, but must not let it turn into a habit, since it's at least the second time it happens. I have signed a renting contract for the rest of my stay. Although a tiny bit more expensive that I expected, but still reasonable (550 EUR) Glad that I could now start dealing with stuff a bit higher on the moral hierarchy than find a place to poop, sleep and eat. For some reason I woke up and have a headache for a few days. Some of the reasons which I think it might happen - 1. I'm drinking tap water as opposed to bottled water that I'm used to, and cooking also with tap water instead of filtered Brita water. 2. I've been sleeping erratically the last few days, namely - 4,4,10,5,8 (The fours are spread across with half hour segments) 3. Maybe the fact that there's a heating in the apartment and I take cold showers and do workouts in the cold outside could have contributed to it. 4. There might be dust in the room or the sheets I slept in were not very clean. 5. I've been eating only a part of my nutrition, which creates a nutrient defficiency The plan is to start erradicating them one by one, and in the meantime not forget the main goal that I'm here for, and do progress on it. Namely find a job. And of course take care of the essentials. (Marketing project and physical movement)

Entry 17.11 (Written at 18.11) Day 60: No Useless Videos Day 58: Sticking to Food schedule Still looking for an apartment with the hope to gind one for a month. Today spent about 4 to 5 hrs calling, 1 hr moving to another hostel, 1 hr at shop, 3.5 hrs workout, the rest is eating and routines. I bought green lentils instead of red becaues he shop didn't have any, I consider it to be a worthy replacement for the time being (Until it runs out at least. Will start eating it tomorrow. Also I bought some food and only for 2 days. Since I might be moving hostels daily, so I wouldn't want to carry food of a weeek around, and two also...

Entry 16.11 (Written at 17.11) Day 59: No Useless Videos Day 57: Sticking to Food schedule Got a sim card, got a third vaccination, did a 1 hr run and barely 1 hr mmarketing project. Didn;t find accomodation. Am at a hostel for 1 night today, the same hostel is fully booked tomorrow. Have tofind aanother hostel and keep looking for apts.

Entry 15.11 (Written at 16.11, posted on 17.11) Day 58: No Useless Videos Day 56: Sticking to Food schedule I realized that my last entry was my brain's BS. I don't really need to make my foods unlimited. I'd rather eat less for those few days than feed the "immediate pleasure self" by allowing myself to eat unlimited. After all, this si exactly what I'm ytying to avoid here, an the best way to do that is build a habit. So I am pretty sure I;m still within the schedule boundaries. I will very likely change it in any case in a day or two and let you know what I found. But the word "unlimited" most definitely sshouldn't be a part of that plan. Off I go to my 2 hr rive to another airport. Got to find a sim card and accomodation. Hope I'll get some sleep along the way

Well did you feel awful after it happened with instant regret? Did you continue to watch something else or did you just watch this one funny video and that's it?

What doesn't kill you... (Complete sentence) 🙂 Thank you so much for your interest. The doctor said there is no infection that is seen And by the way after calling about 30 numbers and many of them a few times, plus sending some mails and messages, I found a place to do this vaccination and they said it is going to be free and despite me not having a legal status in Spain I'll be able to do it.

Entry 14.11 (Written at 15.11) Day 57: No Useless Videos Day 55: Sticking to Food schedule Next time I'll be writing will very likely be in Spain. I figured out where to get a sim, did a travel insurance and exchanged euro. Now I have left to pack everything into bags, pack my own bag and store it at my roommates rooms, also replace my courier bag for a new, less stinky one, and see what exactly do I take with myself... As awesome leaving much stuff for the last moment.;... Edit: Important changes: 1. I'll probably do a shorter workout to manage and do all the things, which I will gradually complete again, just like it was two weeks ago with the 20 hours workday at the elections. The workout routine will also generally change, because now I won't be working as a courier for a month. I plan to return to 3 day runs and 4 days different body parts workouts(Resistance bodyweight) But that only after I complete this weeks double workouts. 2. For the next 3 days - 15-17.11 I'll be allowed to eat any of the foods that is included in my schedule in an unlimited ammount. So that I could take the stuff I have left in the fridge and take the time to find an accomodation (Since I only have a hostel booked for 1 day now) and find where and which foods are available. After those 3 days I'll Ideally return to the original schedule with slight reductions. Will keep you posted

As long as you know your main goal as an artist, and take care to choose the best activities to support it, sounds great to me. A sequence also sounds okay, but take note that very big goals sometimes take a lifetime to achieve. So you might have very few of those at a sequence. For example, Arnold Schwarznegger has 4 of those (Immobility investor, Bodybuilding Champion, top selling actor, governor of California) and he is counted to be a superextraordinary person. Usually most people probably only accomplish one or two of those, otherwise he wouldn't be considered such a superman 😄

You only use 15-20g of whey you mean? Could you also insert your data into Cronometer? I would be interested to see. Edit: Or share your detailed schedule, the one that you have.

Entry 13.11 (Written at 14.11) Day 56: No Useless Videos Day 54: Sticking to Food schedule Flight to Spain is tomorrow evening At friday night I was bit by a dog during work, then I called a medical consultation which told me to see a doctor and consult the health ministry within 12 hours. I did just that. And because of not thinking of taking the number of the owner at the same moment, I don't know if the dog might have had rabies. That's why I was suggested to make a vaccination by our ministry of health. Which I did in two dosis, in two different places, including the ER. I also needed to visit the family doctor to see if the place was infected. The trouble is that I have three other dosis now that need to have administered during the period of my stay at Spain, so I basically spent the whole day yesterday trying to figure out how I will accomplish this. A walk to the doctor which I planned would be 30 minutes in the morning, turned to a whole day of running around the city. I didn't even complete my morning routine because I planned to come back in half an hour and continue sleeping... -Didn't work yesterday as a courier. -Barely did the 2 hour minimum of the marketing project P.S. Rabies is a 99.99% killing disease if diagnosed, there are only 35 cases that were cured on record, the rest died. That's why I decided that I'd better do it, despite the complications.

What exactly happened on 11/09? (Edit) I mean, did you watch social media? Did you game? What triggered you? How long did it last? What do you think you could do otherwise? How did you generally feel? (Feel free to elaborate further than just my questions)

The thing is, I don't 😄 I barely started slowly adding weight now after making it 4500. Before at around 4000 it was still not enough, I mean I was maintaining weight or maybe veeeery slightly gaining weight (While at 3500 I was definitely losing, that was my routine 'till I noticed I lost a ton of weight) , so that I decided to increase it to 4500 ( I've also reduced my workouts a bit ) Now the last time I checked I gained 500g in two weeks. (I posted the screenshots of the detailed nutrition above). G, don't people love to talk about themselves.... xD

So if your goal is to be more shredded it is losing weight while maintaining or increasing muscle mass, am I right? It most definitely is the case. I include many fat foods so that I could squeeze as much calories as possible, since I'm underweight. And I don't need that much proteins since I don't lift heavy weights, and when I do work out I do bodyweight workouts ( You could say calisthenics I guess) So glad you asked for a calculator. I use Cronometer. Here are screenshots of the day I described.

Entry 12.11 (Written at 13.11 at night) Day 55: No Useless Videos Day 53: Sticking to Food schedule 2 days 'till Spain Got bit by a dog today (A dog with an owner) with bleeding because I scared it by riding a bike , go figure.. 😄 Hope it didn't have some disease. Going to check up on it in a few hours from now with the doc, since yesterday was weekend. I really don't like going to sleep at 5 am. Tomorrow and on Monday I want to gradually decrease it back since I only work 4 hours at those days. In those days I also have to accomplish the small tasks that are left. -Exchanging EUR -Stuff my bags away at rooms of roommates -Replace my courier bag with a new one so that I could make it more compact -Return my Aliexpress ordered items in mail. and other stuff which I wrote here previously -Make insurance for abroad and maybe others which I do not recall right now. By the way I think that when I go there I'll allow myself to eat only foods within the schedule but without limit for the first 3 days, so that I could get a hang of the groceries places and view and rent an accomodation and other stuff.

Perfect. I'll be back from my trip to Spain around that time to check on you and see that you;re continuing your awesome progress to the next step! (If fate allows it)

Small? Are you sure we're talking about the same thing here? Those are 4500 daily calories there mate, not to speak about volume.. (Edit)P.S. My height is 174 cm and my weight is now approximately 53/52.5kg, take that into consideration 😄

Entry 11.11 (Written at 12.11 at night) Day 54: No Useless Videos Day 52: Sticking to Food schedule -3 days 'till Spain trip I have made sure the two apts. I have are still relevant, they are. -I also need to make an arrangement for the sim card during my stay. I was a bit late from breakfast and a lot late from lunch. I trust both are because I lost focus because I was speaking with my roommates. Got to pay attention to only speak with themm once a week about all the stuff that I have to say to them, /and gather that in notes until then.

Okay. What is a while then specifically? And after this while would you like to replace the coffee drinking habit with the cold shower habit, or add it on top of it?
