3 Things I did right, no matter how small.

-Having immense gaming cravings, and replacing it with my visualization images+sleeping for temporary escape instead of resorting to gaming
1 Thing I could do better 
-I really want to start summarizing a lot more generally instead of word for word, and I may start from the current book, I don't see why not. even though I'm in the middle of doing word for word, always gotta start somewhere

3 Things I did right, no matter how small.

1 Thing I could do better 
-Concentrate completely on building out the fiverr gig during visualization time

Day 179: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00)
Day 178: Being in bed before 23:15

3 Things I did right, no matter how small.

-12 pomodoros (day 48)
-Completing the leg workout that I needed to catch-up, only 4 back exercises remain.
-Continuing to work on the Fiverr gig
1 Thing I could do better 
-I am showing super problematic signs. It came to the point that I opened two websites of games that I used to play. I've got to do something to redirect my thoughts back to my long time goals. Because I understand that if I do play, at least now I'll definitely regret it and it will be super hard to get myself back on track.

Two solutions to ponder: 1. Remove all other account data that I haven't removed
2. Consider which of the four basic needs I'm not fulfilling and work on that

Day 289: No Useless Videos
Day 288: Sticking to Food schedule
Day 180: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00)
Day 179: Being in bed before 23:15

3 Things I did right, no matter how small.

-12 pomodoros (day 49)
-I am the best there ever was!
I deleted the remaining passwords of all the games that were most important to me for a long time, including two MMO RPGs
-Even though I might have made more problems by un-screwing the front wheel  and re-screwing it to try and fix it's not sitting still (Now the brake disc makes more sound and probably rubs the break place more) I am proud of myself for not accepting it as is, and wanting to do my best to fix it.

1 Thing I could do better 
-Yesterday was really an awesome day, because I withstood my morning goal of deleting the gaming account credentials which I've been wanting to do for quite a while. Yet, I could have called the guy who came to buy the bike from me to make sure that he is coming and perhaps save 15 minutes by making sure this time period is during the pomodoro break

Day 182: Being in bed before 23:15

-12 pomodoros (day 53)
-Having been faced with a decision whether to put myself for a physical challenge or not, and decided to do it, even though I'll have to pay lots of time and money for it. I don't know if it is the best decision, but the thing that is right is the act of decision itself
-In face of intensifying cravings more and more, went to sleep a bit for temporary escape, helped a little bit.


1 Thing I could do better 
-Now that I'm facing a two month preparation for the physical challenge I must have my week planned out, in order to see how I make all the workouts happen

Day 293: No Useless Videos
Day 292: Sticking to Food schedule
Day 184: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00)
Day 183: Being in bed before 23:15

3 Things I did right, no matter how small.

-12 pomodoros (day 54)
-Full  Chest and back workout (Albeit without catching up the missing ones from other days)
-Having changed tofu in my food schedule for Edamame and a More whole Sesame Spread (Protein and Calcium accordingly, the things I were getting out of Tofu)


1 Thing I could do better 
-I was unconcentrated during food's preparation and so slipped a lot from schedule, resulting in being about 1 hour late on schedule, I could have been more focused

Food Schedule update:
dAs stated, Now for every 75  grams of tofu that I used to eat I'll eat 100 Grams of Edamame and The tahini is just whole now instead of one that's mixed up with water, so it has 860 or so calcium MGs per 100g (Which is an additional  740g on top of the previous tahini.
I was getting 375g calcium from the tofu daily, so now there's an addition of 370gs in the tahini, and a small reduction of 0.7 mgs of iron, but that's negligible.

I'll try eating it with dinner just the same - 50g's but if it proves to be too heavy i might have to think how i put it in other meals down the road.

EDIT: I may still eat tofu until it runs out

What sort of meals do you make? - Do you do like, weekly meal prep and have an eating schedule? I'm interested because this is the kind of day-to-day insight I like reading. lol

Yup. I just re-read Wednesday's and you mentioned both. lol - It's because I was spilling food while reading as I tried to enjoy both at the same time. 😄

Day 188: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00)
Day 187: Being in bed before 23:15

3 Things I did right, no matter how small.

-Chest workout fully, despite strong fatigue.
-Calling a co-worker to ask to try out his road bike, because I never tried one, and that is what endurance training with bikes is often done on
-Continuing to call a guy who is renting out an apartment for a cheaper rate to possibly save some money with a move every month. It accumulates!


1 Thing I could do better 
-Drink more water before leaving for chest workout.

Day 190: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00)
Day 189: Being in bed before 23:15

3 Things I did right, no matter how small.

-12 pomodoros (day 61) - although it was 1-3 seconds past 18:00 which I made as an obligation to myself, but I haven't here, so let that contiinue to count as a continuation of the streak
-Despite messing up and sleeping in for two hours going out for deliveries for the very least and completing 3 hours
-Despite very strong gaming craving taking to bed instead


1 Thing I could do better 
-During pomodoro breaks distract myself with things like reading the gamequitters forum more, instead of destructive things like watching gaming websites

Day 300: No Useless Videos
Day 299: Sticking to Food schedule
Day 191: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00)
Day 190: Being in bed before 23:15

3 Things I did right, no matter how small.

-12 pomodoros (day 62)
-Waking up at 4 and completing about a 12 mile tempo run (double the one I did last week)
-Sleeping for 2 hours in the evening, despite it having come at the cost of the workout and doing deliveries instead


1 Thing I could do better 
-Sleeping for 4 hours definitely messes with my health. Even if it's once a week.
If I want to wake up a 4 am, I must find a way to sleep earlier.
If I don't, instead of having all my priorities, I'll have none. Because once health is messed up, nothing else matters.

In my last reply my question was whether you'd like to know which I mix with which, just to clarify. Because I already gave you many details of course 🙂
