Day 254: No Useless Videos
Day 1088: Sticking to Food schedule
Day 3: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00)
Day 0: Being in bed before 23:15 - This is reset once more becaues the airplane was 30 minutes late or so, then it took me some time to re-insert a new simcard i think like 5 minutes, then running arond the airpor looking for the exit and then about 40-50 minutes delay of the trains or so, I didn't measure the time exactly but i think this is a quite close estimate, maybe the delay was even longer than 50 minutes. because just the waiting on the platform was about that long, then there were additional stops in the train itself while waiting for another train to clear off the parking place, and the first train also stopped somewhat before it announced it was going back because of unauthorised persons on the track

3 Things I did well, no matter how small
-wake up at 2:30 to make a jog before the train
-managing to prepare all the planned food for the day, by asking for the necessary airport all around the airport (can opener, disposable plate, napkins, knife to cut acucumber, disposable cutlery, etc.)
-Finished the lacking 23 minutes of my planned jog afterwards in betweeen waiting for trains and on the way home (Which I cut short because I actually pooped my pants and wanted to get offloaded, plus I was running extra close to the train departure time)

1 Thing I could do better
-I guess I needed to prepare the food in the evening before somehow, I basically lost the whole day looking for all the necessary tools around the airport, which could have been a lot more time effficient if I would have done it at the hostel. (If I didn't want to chew things and leave them till the next day chewed up out of fear they will spoil, I could have taken only those foods that I usually chew as a replacement for cutting in a washed condition with me so that this would be the only thing left to prepare (chewing them up) before starting to eat

Day 1: Being in bed before 23:15

3 Things I did well, no matter how small
-Morning workout
-Planning the next day
-At the very least one pomodoro despite having slept about 11 hours or so

1 Thing I could do better
-Remember to write down getting groceries out of freezer in the schedule and cleaning up the poop from my underwear from yesterday, so that I'd still be loyal to the schedule, thus possibly saving myself the 1hr 20 min delay that I currently have in my sleep time, because I lost trust with myself when not following the schedule, thus losing the schedule "limits" and doing everything lesse effectively, like washing the underwear about 20 minutes and planning the next day like 40 minutes instead of the usual 15

Food Schedule Update 26.08 - 8.9 (Not including 8.9)
Regular day
Banana 1
Cucumber 0.5
Tomato 1
Cabbage 35
Carrot 1
Dates 55
Avocado 1.5
Peanut butter - NONE
Brazil nut - NONE
Chard - NONE
Edamame 55g
Olive oil 50g - compensating for lack of tahini and peanut butter

Lunch
Carrot 1
Chard NONE
Quinoa 60g
Raisins 20g
Chia 10g
Flax 10g
Sesame NONE - Gotta find  this in 2 weeks cuz this is crucial for iron
Tahini NONE
Black Sesame NONE
Dates 55
Chlorella - 4g
Cranberries - NONE

Dinner
Peas - 130g
Potatoes 300g
Lentils 35g
Edamame 55g
Raisins 20g
Coconut oil 50


* Ingredients are interchangeable
* Changes allowed 'till end of friday
* Those are upper limits, ut probably because I want to limit myself to cooking two types of food a day - today Edamame and Peas will be omitted, I may then cook 35g lentils x4 and get a 70g portion, aswell as raisins double portion

Edit 1(14:30 aprox same day): On days of running it's 165g almonds, and on non-running 175g
On Sundays 65g coconut oil allowed.
Edit 2(17:11 same day): All the rules from the previous schedule apply unless specified otherwise in this entry. I mean specifically, the differences between the non running and running days and sunday and the food i eat before and after a fast day. Also the olive oil should be kept as it was because the increase of quantity of Avocado accounts for the reduction in penut butter I believe.
Edit 3(17:17 same day): Almonds still with the same separation of 40+50 in lunch and 35+50 at dinner

Food schedule update 02.10-16.10 (Not including 16.10)
Everything remains the same as before the UK except for:
1. Big avocados to be eaten 1.5, small ones 2.
2. Edamame 120g on regular days and the leftover on Friday, then the edamame is to be replaced with 70g of lentils, without additional raisins
3. Once frozen peas run out, they are to be replaced 1 per 1 with peas from a can
4. In case cranberries/tahini/black sesame/ brazil nuts are to be ordered this schedyle may be updated
5. This schedule may be updated until sSunday if I forgot something with edits, no need to re-post.
6. Once dates run out they may be replaced with whatever I have left of the raisins. Probably something like 160g, for one day, since i miscalculated how many dates I need and bought for 12 days instead of 14

Edit 1(Note): I have previously wrote a schedule update for until 7th of october but I wrote that it is to be updated after I go to the store in the UK. Which I guess gives me somewhat of a permission to rewrite it now.
Edit 2: 1. Two tomatoes are to be eaten today, and 1.5 moving forward because I had 2 leftover from the UK
2. Carrots, once the old carrots run out are to be eaten 150g or less since the new bag is full of small carrots
Edit 3(04.10): Brazil nuts 15 grams a day allowed, Peanut butter 1 per 1 replacement with coconut oil until it runs out. Quinoa tricolore allowed interchangeably with regular quinoa. The remainder of sunflower seeds, about 10-20g allowed.

Edit 3

I really like the multiple streaks you have going on. I think I'll start small and get to 90 days StopGaming first, and then add a new streak of something else positive, rinse and repeat. One day I might have as many as you! 💪

Day 3: Being in bed before 23:15 (Today I dozed off at about 21 05 and woke up at 00 22, and been finishing up the day's tasks (1 pomodoro and evening routine, up until now - 2 44) so it technically counts, since I was in bed before 23:15... Nonetheless, sleeping in one fluent unit, not two separated ones, is healthier. Plus one is less productive at night. Our body is not designed to be active at night, plus I lose sense of time when I allow myself to step away from the schedule so much which adds on top of that.

3 Things I did well, no matter how small
-12 german units
-1 pomodoro
-Afternoon workout

1 Thing I could do better
-Drink water when starting to feel sleepy, and wait at least half an hour. (Set a timer) once it passes, then allow myself to sleep, and that is for half an hour, no more! If I do more, it may be harmful since the ood is still digesting...

Sounds like a plan, although I would concentrate on these 90 days first and then decide what to do next, not now. Maybe you'll even want to return to play (I wouldn't recommend). Thing is, just get those 90, and then you'll be wiser. Keep it up, and feel free to pop in here if you want to ask something :)

@Pulse You may also start with 21, this may be hard enough, and go up from there if you wish. Also, you might not get it the first time around. If that is the case, no worries, remember: There is no shame in falling down, but there is a lot of shame in staying down.

Congratulations on all of your progress and streak of days of not playing @Yan

You're unstoppable based on your entries

(Sorry Yan I realised I replied to stuff from 3 years ago when you deleted your Steam account, although my comments still stand! How's the diet and workout routine going nowadays?)

Amazing on starting the deletion for the Steam account. I'll be honest, that's something that will take me a lot of willpower to do. I will eventually do it, more than likely, but not for a while. It will probably be after 90/180 days or so. I have a Steam account(s), Blizzard account, Xbox account(s), all ideally completely deleted.

Also yeah the diet you're on and the workout regiment, wow, it looks tough. I think from reading your earlier logs you're underweight, but you work out so much that even when you're eating a lot you're still losing weight? Very interesting - do you have to workout so much then - I think, trying to figure it out - you work as a bike courier for 5 hours per day? I suppose that is gonna burn a lot of calories and leave you little time to eat!

Fantastic progress for you though, @Yan . I'm happy for you 🥳🥳🥳

The more you go with it the more of an automatic habit it becomes and momentum helps you, generally speaking. Sometimes you feel resistance again, but not as often, from my experience. It is more about building a right atmosphere than trusting discipline in my opinion. Thanks for your congratulations.

First paragraph reply: No problem, understandable you didn't notice. Diet and workout mostly remain the same with slight changes overtime.
However I've been recently running 42km weekly too in varying intensity.

Second paragraph reply: It did take some willpower. I just had to remember that the more time I put into this, the farther I'll come from my long term goals, so I had to help myself be in line with my long-term plans. It is always scary, but one moment you may just do it. It will pass on as days go by, and in worse case scenario, you'll be able to buy the games you had again. The barrier will be higher however, which is what I assume you want

Third paragraph reply:

I am roughly underweight by average standartds. I do work out a lot in comparison to the average person I assume. I no longer work as a courier since August 2024, but I did for 2.5 years. It was awesome. Indeed I usually have little time left to eat, and I am vegan, eat no sugar, no salt, no gluten, no processed foods currently, which makes it essential to also eat a lot of volume. It is hard to get all the nutrients without high volume.

Thanks for the congratulations.

Nothing extraordinary here. Very small daily progress that seems like nothing daily sometimes, but somewhat accumulates.

Food schedule update 16.10-30.10 (Not including 30.10)
Everything remains the same as before the UK, except for
1. Green lentils are interchangeable with red lentils 1 per 1
2. I may add any changes in case I forgot something until sunday(including Sunday)
3. If I find a way to buy cranberries/tahini/black sesame/ brazil nuts and find a way to do so, or vitamin D source, this schedule may be updated.

-Most probably should look for oil replacement, maybe peanut butter or coconut oil, maybe I should hop into Alnatura or Edeka after all to
check for brazil nuts, peanut butter, cranberries and black sesame at the next grocery purchase which is planned for two weeks ahead...

That is because it causes mindfog and skin rash, I assume because it might be making acidic damage to the stomach walls or overall acidity.
