Hi everyone, I quit gaming some time ago and game at most 1-2 per year. I think this was a big achievement because before, gaming would completely fuck up my life. One of my main motivations was that I'm 23 now and I realized that life is going away on useless things like gaming and when that realization hit me, I didn't want to game as much anymore.

Now I face a new problem - need to keep myself motivated to do other things, mainly:

1. Lose weight

2. Improve Leetcode skills => double current salary

3. Maybe get personal life 

 

I'm working on #1 and #2 right now. #1 is kind of screwing me up because I'm counting calories and have kind of low energy for everything. I lost 7 pounds from June 15th and now I'm 198 pounds.

Once I get to my desired weight of about 154 pounds, I need to make sure I don't gain everything back like happened before.

Please write any thoughts that you have, I'm just looking to post my successes and failures publicly so I can't hide from failure

Got a haircut today and feeling kind of better about myself. Lost motivation, so need to start working again asap

Slept during the day today, now feeling very productive. Will get started on something

Ok today was okayish. Still spent some time lying in bed and watching Youtube, which is bad.

Was productive overall, maintained calorie deficit. 

One remarkable achievement - I let go of past relationships. Stopped checking my ex's Instagram, which I think is huge for me and I need to keep this up.

I also stayed off the particularly addictive youtube political videos which I used to watch.

Hopefully tomorrow will be even better than today

Day was extremely unproductive today. I think it might be because I'm trying to work from my room, where my bed is. So every time I get a chance, I go to watch some short videos while lying.

This is horrible. Need to go to office/working area tomorrow. 

Got somewhat concentrated closer to evening and got some work done.

Noticed that it's hard for me to do tasks where I don't know if I'm going in the right direction

Woke up kinda late today but already finished a quiz for college and now watching a course for work. I think I'm way more productive after I sleep 

Today was overall way more productive than yesterday but still got distracted a lot. Need to make sure to work more

Not as productive today unfortunately. Need to do better tomorrow. I definitely cannot work when tired, best to go to bed and wake up later and be productive

OK these last few days were relatively good, didn't get distracted as much. Lost less weight than expected because I slipped and had too many calories. I am going to keep these mistakes in mind going forward
