  1. Sounds like an excuse to me...(To know it isn't I'd first finish what you committed to and then quit, because otherwise our brain is super deceptive and may just be giving you slack). Hope you're right though and that you stick to not playing for a long time. Cheers In this case you could sleep for 4 hours one night and put all your schedule back in order. I know you want to sleep 8 hours and I agree it's healthier. But if it's 1 day and then you'll sleep a week in good times I think it's worth it. If you have better solutions, let me know, I'm also interested. If not, I suggest you try this one. (Maybe 2 days of 6 hours instead one of 4 )
  2. Entry 23.10 (Already 24.10 as always 😞 ) Day 36: No Useless Videos An awesome day today. First time that I did 6 hours of blogging in a long time. (Although by bike delivery I've reduced it to 3.5 hours and been out from 23:10 to 02:40 which most probably was the reason I did 6 deliveries(2 per hour) instead of 9(3 per hour) in combination with the fact that I ate again at 23 40 and then didn't go full speed of course, because of not wanting to hurt digestion. And although I actually felt a stomach ache again (probably again becaue there was a too small pause between lunch and dinner) and had to take a break in the middle of delivery to poop in a yard of some apartment building, and wiping with leafs and a single big piece of paper ( luckily nobody went outside at this time). Still it's all worth it! Day 34: Sticking to Food Schedule Things I need to pay attention to for best health: - At least 4 hours in between meals - At least 3 hours break before leaving for deliveries - Finish deliveries and go home to eat Cheers!
  3. I've managed to create a reading habit by just having minimum of 5 pages every day. It's ok to read 100 a day too, but no less than 5.
  4. Entry 22.10 (Already 23.10) Day 35: No Useless Videos Nothing special, still some cravings throughout the day, still withstanding it because of momentum and because of comitimng to you guys 🙂 Day 33: Sticking to food schedule 3 separate meals. I've noticed that sticking meals together is a thing of the workout days. Most definitely must take care that it wouldn't happen again, as I feel really awful afterwards and spend a lot of time in the toilet with stomach ache. (Another possibility is that it's because of the olive oil which I used today instead of olives which I used the previous few days.

    Where u at brother?
  6. "What get's measured get's managed" - Anonymous. If you measure it and write it down the chance will rise of you doing the amount you actually want in my opinion, and the opinion of many other authors 🙂 What exactly are the requirements after surgery? 3 meals a day? With what break in between? How big do the meals have to be? Are you not allowed to eat two meals or 4 meals? What if you have a short day of 6 waking hours? Do you still have to eat 3 meals then? Everybody stumbles from time to time, but don't let it turn into more than one day, because it starts turning into a habit. I've heard in some book that even greats like Tony Robbins had 1 day where they didn't work out and stuff, but the key is that they take themselves together right on the next day and keep on grinding. Stay strong! Remember why you're doing this, and how awesome of a person you can become, and are becoming with every day of progress.
  7. entry 21.10 (Already 22.10) Day 34: No Useless Videos Cravings take place when coming back home and doing evening routine at 2 am... Day 32: Sticking to food schedule Sat down to eat at Max Brenner ( A sweets shop, because that's where I ended a delivery on bike delivery and needed to charge my phone to continue deliveries) And it has given me urges of thinking of sweets. Especially when I'm already consuming food I always want more afterwards. But, yet again the progress I've made in these two areas, and the 97 day streak of eating only food I bought (Adding an image), and the last but not least, the commitment to you guys hold me well. Thank you so much for being here, and again thank you Cam for this community! On another subject, I've emotionally went to sleep about 6 hours ago ( about 02:45 in the middle of writing this entry.) This shouldn't happen. All I needed was about 10 more minutes for this diary, my personal diary and Affirmations, plus an alarm clock and documenting my sleep time.
  8. How much time did you devote to Python progress?
  9. I also want to add that I have cut the workout at the 5 hour point today, without the intention to compensate for it later, which is an accomplishment in my opinion. I should keep this barrier from now on, and of course when the weight vest arrives, and hopefully when I order the leg weights ( I want to wait till next month so that it fits my budget plan ) then I'll reduce it even further, because the weight will be increased. This is because I want to accomplish my meaning in life, and I realize it's not being an Elite Athlete. I want to work towards financial freedom, so that I can have more available time, and working out more and more won't bring me to that.

    Of course they don't stimulate you like your phone or games can (At the moment). Most things that will enormously satisfy you in the long term from my experience, don't do that in the short term, that's why you're here. Jonathan, I suggest we put a goal of 21 days without games and 15 minutes of just checking all social networks in the evening every day(That's what I do), and that's it! No more touching social media unless it's directly needed for the task you're doing right now, and in that case just watch the information you need, nothing else. Think you can handle that? Just 21 days. After that you can break it or continue. If you agree I'll be checking in on you, to see your daily progress, so you'd better keep your word, that's what men do! Let's Rock n' Roll! By the way what does your job include?
  11. Entry 20.10 ( Already 21.10 ) Day 33: No Useless Videos Cravings hit me again when I ate combined lunch and dinner. This has to stop I have to plan it differently, as I even noticed blood in my stool, which I'm pretty sure i either just becaue of eating a lot or because of the combination of eating a lot and doing physical activity,,, (Still I already have the week planned so I'll stick to it but will jut pass on dinner parts, once more feeling very sleepy, so cutting thi post short 🙂 Day 31: Following Food Schedule Still feelng very sleepy. Stuffed lunch and dinner together, hopefully for the last time and from now on hopefully 3 separate meals with nice and long breaks in between (hopefully 4 hours)
  12. Entry 19.10 ( Already 20.10 ) Day 32: No Useless Videos Lots of cravings especially when driving very slow on the bike because of being full. - 4 hrs marketing project today! Awesome Day 30: Following Food Schedule Still holding strong, todays entry very short 'cause I'd prefer to go to sleep
  13. Didn't know you were 19 🙂 Anyway that's awesome that you're doing progress in python. Keep at it. I think a good Idea would be to set a minimum bar of 2 hours of learning, no matter if all hell breaks loose, 2 hours even at cost of sleep. And then you could write how much you time you learned here on the forum in bold every day if you wish 🙂 It is very natural to think of other stuff, and the more you get mad at yourself for it, the worse it will become. Accept it, it is completely okay! But then just try to go back to what you were originally doing. Meditation is a great Idea, I do it 10 minutes every day in the morning. I'm sure you could spare 10 minutes a day. I think that even after one month you may already see changes (Your mileage may vary). Here are two videos that helped me start with it.
  14. Entry 19.10(Night 18.10) Day 31: No Useless Videos Cravings still come, especially after eating a big meal and giving in to the emotion of feeling tired, instead of following schedule. Also have to mention that my workouts are getting out of control again. Each workout I add more reps and it is now taking me about 5.5 hrs and that is without the cool down of 40 min run and 20 min running stairs, and the stretches. I must remember that I don't want to be an olympic athlete but just a healthy individual. My main goal however suffers terribly! I just worked 1 hour on the marketing project which is unacceptable. Still it just feels as a downgrade to reduce it........ Then again there's the thought of the fact that if I reduce the workouts i'll have to eat less, and I love to eat 😞 But I guess I could just eat more volume foods and I will feel full. Must not be so afraid of change. In any case I'm waiting for my weight vest to come, then I will at least reduce 1 of the 2 workouts to 3 hrs and use time as an indication rather than reps. Then if it will be too easy, I could always add weight. For the second workout I'll have to buy leg weights ( Because it's an abs and back workout and in many exercises I'm laying on the floor so a vest would be of no use ). Also, have sent a message for more details about public speaking group and keeping on looking for apartment for the 1 month stay, and a job for the long hall in Spain. But the most important thing is that I planned my week to have two 6 hour workdays on marketing project and one of 4, Got to accomplish this!!!! Just a small step back to the 6 hour work standard. Day 29: Following food schedule Dinner and lunch together again today. Also made a food purchase for two weeks with no changes and weighed myself after workout. Now 52.650 kg. (Height 174 cm reminding you) Which is 400 gram raise in one week. I'm in a good direction.

    You could also record yourself speaking while driving and later just transform it into text. The options are endless...

    No skipping days mate. Even one line is better than nothing.... You could even write something the next day looking back... Put the excuses to rest 🙂
  18. Day 30: No Useless Videos Today I decided to help my small 13 yr old brother Install Minecraft on his computer as he asked me for a long time( I did it from remote as we live in different cities ). That awakes the gaming juices and feelings of nostalgia... But got to remember that those are fake, and gaming brings no achievement and just swallows the most precious resource that we have on this earth into servitude to others, instead of striving for our own goals. Also, I'm really wondering how moral it is... On the one hand I have no control over his life and am really not there for him and he only has my mom next to him, who doesn't really help him feel competence... So gaming could be a source for him to learn social skills. On the other hand it build addiction in him, that he has no control over as he's a minor. I've long discussed with him and mother a contract about gaming an X amount of hours between them which they both sign to balance out the gaming hours. But I'm not so sure it is going to stick. What do you guys think? Is it immoral to give him games why I am trying to break free from them? Day 28: Sticking to food schedule. Ate 3 seperate meals but with quite short breaks (3 hours and 2 hours) and also rode on the bike right after lunch and dinner. Hope I'm not doing too much damage with the physical activity right after food. Also was trying to rewind schedule even further back so that I could sleep at 21 and wake up at 05 ( that's the reason for not making bigger breaks in between meals. Also, was feeling cravings in the morning to continue eating but having this diary stopped me. Thank you!
  19. How key it is that you've read Atomic Habits. Look how you implement it in the building of long term strategies rather than just doing a "sprint". Book are da best. Hope you read many more useful ones. A few I found greatly useful are 1. How to Influence Friends and People - Dale Carnegie. 2. Getting to Yes - William Ury, Roger Fisher, Bruce Patton 3. Think and Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill Keep developing and presenting your higher self every day. That's what we're here for. And remember, you're not alone as Alan Walker says in his song. There are many of us fighting this fight here with you. Peace.
  20. Day 29: No Useless Videos Making progress to replace the needs gaming fulfilled. Very slowly, but hopefully surely 😄 (Attaching Images below) Although all this is just theory of course. No obligation here. What happens when the rubber meets the road is key. Day 27: Sticking to Food Schedule Made a very short day today by replacing a 4 hour bike ride with a run of 1.25 hrs And going to sleep at around 01:30 in comparison to 06:00 yesterday. To make this change I cut down on lentils and ate lunch and dinner together. This shouldn't repeat itself though as my only two sources of protein are Tofu and Lentils. And I'm pretty sure that tofu doesn't have as much amino acids as I need. And in the quantity that I eat it, not even enough protein as a macronutrient(Just protein grams) to begin with
  21. Ski is great. Will fulfill at least one if not more of the 4 needs that gaming fulfills. Good luck with it 🙂 (Though be carefull that it really does collide with the life goals that you've put to yourself, and not just do it to avoid gaming)
  22. Day 28: No Uselesss Videos Some cravings in the evening again at evening routine. Also a problematic moment that my brother calls me to help him setup his PC. I really want to help him but it triggers emotions within me. This will subside as I go further as long as I find activities to replace the gaaming void with. Day 26: Sticking to food schedule 3 separate meals. I actually started feeling hungry between lunch and dinner. Awesome. Now it's gonna be challenging not to start binging again. The only problem is I hope it's gonna be ok that I eat and do physical activity straight away..... because with 4-9hrs of daily riding there's no escape from it. Probably I should mentally prepare to start reducing those riding hours anyway because I want to eventually do 6hrs of marketing project and it must come at the cost of something. This something probably will be the bike and money.
  23. You've decided to do a 2 day break after completing the 7 days right? Great work on the programming, I suggest having a minimum time standard though, for example 2 hours which you do come high hell or ground water. Because if you do too much all the time eventually you will slip and then it may go in a downward spiral, on the other hand if you keep your minimum, you will keep the momentum going, turning it more and more into your identity, decreasing the chance of your quitting, and the willpower required to keep on with it in the long hall
  24. Day 27 No Useless Videos: Just in a few words, cause I want to go to bed. (5 am now) I reached the 90 day milestone on the habbit of eating only things that I bought, hooray!!! That is really amazing! No special cravings that come to mind right now Day 25 Sticking to Food Schedule Within boundaries but stuffed lunch and dinner together again right before going out on the bike. Also again made 4hr workout instead of the planned 2.
  25. Day 26 No Useless Videos: Today when I was working on my marketing project I started marking some text to make it distinct and one of the colors terribly reminded me the color of the gang that I joined in San Andreas Multiplayer the last time I relapsed. I think I really need to buy myself a charger for my old phone so that I can erase all the passwords of the accounts in SAMP, maybe it will help me remove this part from my Identity. I have previously relapsed because it was long a part of my dreams to come up in the hierarchy in the game and become a gang "leader" and get power and influence through it. But I understand that this is not true influence and just slaving away for the creators of the server in order to get power over kids.... Logically makes sense but even as I write this sentence there's a craving to go check the amount of people online on the server on the website, to see that "god forbid" the server is not down and I could still return to it one day. Day 24: Sticking to food schedule Woke up at 11, finished workout at 17 including shower and stretches (Also a bit of fantasizing over food during the workout) at 17 - 18 ate breakfast at 21:30-22:30 combined lunch and dinner (Apart for rice which needs cooking + it would've been a huge meal if I would've added rice aswell, it was big as is already) Still no Idea how to do 3 meals with enough breaks in between and manage to not go to bike delivery right afterwards.
