  • Birthday Reflection: It seems like a year full of progress, I feel like I have a lot to be proud of myself. That does not mean I should rest on my laurels, and it does not mean I could not do better.

Food Plan 16.04 - 30.04 (Not including 30.04)
Everything remains the same, apart for figs which I may interchange 1 per 1 with dates to try out the effect.
Additional changes may be made until the end of Sunday , in case I forgot soemthing
-Possibly I shall reduce apples to a half apple a day becaue the ones I bought are bigger. In any case for now I shall go on with the small ones, onse I'll get to the bigger ones I shall measure and decide (If the small ones are at all to run out)

Food Plan 30.04-14.5 (Not including 14.5)
Everything remains the same except for dates which are to be taken 60g a day (30g breakfast and dinner)
Also apples are to be eaten 2/3rds a meal for the time being.
-If god allows it I shall weigh myself next Monday in the morning (not in two days) and finish planning the plan that shall start on Thursday on the same day.
-I may still interchange figs with dates. Next party of dates that I cook I shall cook for example 180 - 60. So that I try figs one day alone.

Additional changes to this plan are allowed in case I forgot anything until the end of Monday.

3 Things I did well, no matter how small
1. Afternoon workout
2. 8 German units
3. Monthly review
1 Thing I could do better
- Throw out the remainder of the olive oil, because it causes eczema. I mean if it was poison in a bottle, would I have needed to wait for it to run out before I start consuming it? Well for me it is at this point, because of the symptoms it causes. If it came to such a situation where I may see the symptoms on the surface (Skin) it has probably done a lot more damage on the inside. And allthough I only have one more meal or two or so until it runs out, I do not want to use it even one more time for the foreseeable future. Maybe in half a year or so my stomach P.H. or walls etc. heals and I may try it again. But until then, I do not need it.

3 Things I did well, no matter how small
-Workout in the sun 30 minutes
-6 German units
-Continuing with the reduced meal volume. Let's see if I do not disappear in regards to my weight measurement on monday
1 Thing I could do better
Initially I thought: Try to omit peas tomorrow... Because 1 hour after dinner - Symptoms of eczema appeared again.
But, Actually, I think this didn't happen yesterday. I believe what's more responsible for this effect is the quinoa which keeps on soaking water when it's still warm...(though it may also be the figs which I tried to replace dates with for the first time today)
So what I could do better is keep like I ate today and see if the eczema repeats.(including the figs, although it will be a bit less than yesterday, cuz yesterday I was still getting up to speed on some dates from the after fast day where I decided to reduce them (only 15g per meal it probably shouldn't have had such a strong effect, although it might of course) If the eczema symptoms do not repeat for a few days, probably the reason is the hot quinoa and I shouldn't eat more of it when it's hot, so cook it earlier.

Note: Free text
. I also spent 2-3 hours today just reasearching about another potential health insurance, because apparently the first one is onkly open to internal workers, so I had to re ask all the questions regarding how much, if at all, they subsidise the following
Teeth chechkups
Teeth fillings
Teeth cleans
Blood analysis, basic as well as elaborated
Shoe inserts
Nutrition consultation

On top of that I probably spent about 1-2 hours just browsing for gifts for my brother on the web.

I think this drastic waste of time, as well as the two hours I took yesterday to order a new sim card, are a result of the fact I'm at a turn point in life where I'm supposed to reduce my German studies, but still haven't completely determined what is next. ALthough I had a large, general Idea. But I haven't yet contacted the potential job spots I'm aiming for to ask them what they'd suggest me to study next... And it is the weekend.

Moreover I got quite distracted because of wanting to take up a job as a courier a bit earlier then originally planned, to keep myself afloat with the p0ossible amount of money that I possibly need for the staying permit.

Aswell as keep a small buffer, so that I have money to acquire additional qualifications for my planned job.


And it's a combination of the fact i didn't have a well defined schedule written down as a result of theatmosphere, and the big meals contribute to sleepiness and willing to escape, but the last two probably have less effect than the first two (cause of atmosphere chage, job search prematurely and switching of main focus), since they were present before too.

Eczema symptoms still present, but not as strong. To be honest they were present before dinner too... I assume it is just because of the dryness outside and lack of water... or is it?

3 Things I did well, no matter how small
-75% effort run
-Avoiding orange at dinner as planned in advance
-Getting up o speed on three grattitudes and 3 goal entries

1 Thing I could do better
-After dinner when I felt the urge to read about Series/Gaming, which I also did. I read about most watched series. Then I read about most played games. Alltogether it took 31 minutes (Most probably a combination of finishing dinner and expecting fast day and dreading it). Just replace that with mindless Memrise activity or even reading some German article about my next potential branch (so that I don't have to click anything as my hands get eczema symptoms... They eventually didn't appear in a very strong manner, but they are to be expected, so predict that and look for an activity in which I can jus read. Remember: Checkout books or courses on my potential job subject if that repeats itself. It is important to remember that at a whim, because there's not much time to decide before I start looking at useless stuff, If I don't have that immediate alternative planned)

I guess this is not a valid excuse, and if I write an hour, might as well stick to it... There is some place to also exercise discipline in life, even though I do try to treat myself as a scientist and not a drill sergeant. As Nir Eyal suggests in Indistractable...(If I'm not mistaken) )
3 hrs 45 minutes in between meals at least. Day 0 Note here I accidentally began to drink chlorella some 20 minutes before meal start, with flux seeds. But does that count as beginning the meal? Should I give myself slack and continue with the streak? I guess not... Accident or no accident, it is done, and anything other than water is a meal, isn't it? Yep... That hurts.....
6 hrs in between meals at least. Day 0 Woke up late at 8 21... as described in "Sleep documentation for the week"

Food Plan 30.04-14.5 (Not including 14.5)
Everything remains the same except for dates which are to be taken 60g a day (30g breakfast and dinner)
Also apples are to be eaten 2/3rds a meal for the time being.
-If god allows it I shall weigh myself next Monday in the morning (not in two days) and finish planning the plan that shall start on Thursday on the same day.
-I may still interchange figs with dates. Next party of dates that I cook I shall cook for example 180 - 60. So that I try figs one day alone.

Additional changes to this plan are allowed in case I forgot anything until the end of Monday.

I weighed myself on monday with absolutely no clothes or watches. Net weight 53.8 kg height 174. BMI 17.8 (Underweight) (18.5 is the under limit of normal weight)
So I increased 20g almonds and 22g coconut oil per day.
Besides that tomatoes are allowed to be eaten 1.5 a day instead of 2 to reduce volume
cucumbers 0.5 a day instead of 0.66



Additional changes are to be considered once I go to the store, as today all the shops were closed because of a holiday
Besides that all the foods that I need to "get up to speed" on rollover from last week, because I do not want to lose that many calories.

Edit 16.05 - 11:50 am
I just came back from the store.
-cashews are to be eaten 115g, almonds 80g. If they both run out because I bought a little less then needed, I may then document it here and replace them with a relevant amount of avocados or coconut oil

-Oranges are to be eaten as previously until they run out, then - no replacement is needed
Figs are to be replaced with dates, because there were none at the store.
-Additional changes are allowed in case I forgot something until Thursday afternoon

Edit 17.05 - 08:19 am
1. Apples in the new bag are to be weighed and if they're approximately 100g and not 150, to be eaten a whole one instead of 2/3. (Documentation is to be added when the other bag runs out, probably around the end of the foodplan period)
2. Avocados are to be eaten 1 and 3/5 approximately in bags of small ones and 2 avocados in bags of 5 interchangeably with 1.5 big avocados.
At the end there might not be exactly 1 3/5 left, because I might approximately cut 1.5, in this case the small rest(~0.5) is simply to be eaten on top of the other two.
3. The remaining figs are still interchangeable with dates 1g per 1g. I mean after that just dates, but the remaining ones are interchangeable until they run out.

Edit 25.5 7:52 am Apples are to be eaten one at a time because it weighs around 100g, in contrast to previous 150f as described before.

The small avocados I got mixed up.

So for clarification Im setting an upper limit of 200g This was the idea to begin with ( 1 and 3 fifths of 4 avocados which equal 500g)

Or 2 out of 5 which equaled 500g

Note: The bigger ones are still at a limit of 1.5 (which is equal to 250g approximately) why so? Because when I was talking about the smaller ones I miscalculated it at 200g approximately because of lack of attention, but they were meant to represent the same amount as the 1.5. but since I miscalculated it, I'm leaving it as is.

Edit 25.05 4:14 pm
For clarification purposes - the new apples are to be eaten 1 currently, but for purposes of recovering apples they're to be considered as two thirds

Day 1353: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00)
Day 55: Being in bed before 23:15

3 Things I did well, no matter how small
-Morning jog
-completing a 41-ish hour fast
-Sending one more application to Wolt

1 Thing I could do better
-Get out of bed at the pre-scheduled time, even though it's two days in a row where I would have slept under 6 hrs... And even though it was relatively cold, and even though I was fasted.

Note: Today I basically did a few Anki units(Flashcards) - 2
spent about 2 more hours on financial report
and 30 minutes or so handing in the courier app once more.
40 Minutes to go to the store and back since they were closed because of the holidays

Apart from the workout and eating and sleeping, that is basically all I did.
Oh yes, and maybe reading Samp servers amount of online users.
I needed to document this, since I am very unfocused lately, because of a change in life phases.

I have a few big tasks:
-Finish financial report
-Get a temporary job to hold me above water and have enough funds to study on in the direction of my long term intended job
-Research about the intended job
-Prolonging the staying permit

All are quite important and I'm getting a bit torn to different sides.
I guess I theoretically can knockout the first two to quickly get reconcentrated on the last two. Seems like a strategy. That said, I am to devote at least a tiny bit to the pre-last one daily

(All that and I'm still intending to do at least 1 pomodoro and visualization)

P.S. This is the second day I doze off after dinner before the 4 hour window and stayup at night for about three hours.
Two days is the possible start of a habit.

What I can do is of course eat less heavy meals at dinner, but then I only have two meals. So the quick solution is... To be continued tomorrow hopefully, since I am only allowed to write 1 thing a day to do better here... Even though I do have something in mind already ;)

3 Things I did well, no matter how small
- Long 75% effort run, despite a run the previous day and having my legs somewhat hurt
- Staying 45 minutes at Wolt office knocking at the door even though they eventually didn't open
- Calling the Uber Eats courier for the referral code, even though he didn't answer the messages on whatsapp.

1 Thing I could do better
- As a continuation of yesterday's note: The idea was to limit myself to 4 hours waking time before beginning the night routine. How to execute: Set the alarm clock to the time I go to bed to sleep prematurely, in such a way I can calculate how much time passed since I finished eating. I may then set another alarm to the time remaining until 4 hours once I wake up...
Naturally this MUST be a temporary solution. I am to meanwhile look for a solution in regards to how to not fall asleep prematurely at all...

Free Text: As my application documents at Uber were also denied, I am getting more and more suspicious that the short period before the expiration of my temporary legal status is to blame. I resent my application to Uber once more. Let's see if without the additional temporary legal status paper it goes through. If not, I'll probably have to call the ABH on monday... I probably had to do it anyway, as 1 month is already quite a short buffer... And in any case maybe they already received my case and we can go on to order the little bit longer residence permit...

Free Text: The scatterdness continues, running in all directions... 1. Financial report + case closing
2. Temporary job progress
3. German studies
4. Looking into long term studies, with a "not-selling-a-kidney" price, and such that will actually help me start in the profession, and are not just to "put a checkmark". For that I believe a good book should be absolutely sufficient. I already saw one for 40 Euros... The question is do I really need this specific book?
In any case I should probably look into the "subsidies" option for the 1000-2000 euro seminar. I wonder if there are some such subsidies, just as there are such for the university here in germany. Probably I won't take this option anyway, sine subsidies or no subsidies it seems like a pure waste of resources to pay such an amount for two weeks. I don't know if any amount of knowledge in 2 weeks can justify such an amount...

Yan,


I am new to this forum (even though I technically made an account a while ago) and find your progress journal inspiring. It is so cool seeing how precise and thorough you are in tracking your day to day behavior.

Looking at it further, I love how you separated tracking days with and without gaming instead of a single day counter. That way if you technically make a mistake you don't get your motivation destroyed from starting back to zero. I think I will implement this same method of tracking for myself -- whether here or on a spreadsheet somewhere else.

I also love how most of these habits that you're tracking are health-related. For me currently, my main motivation to quit gaming is for my health.

So I just wanted to say thanks for posting your progress as it is currently inspiring me to take back control of my life ❤️

Keep it up! :)

-Writing a message to Father to let him know that I cherish him.

1 Thing I could do better
- I guess now is the point to reduce German studies and concentrate more on the long"ish" term job, as was originally planned. I've been delaying it because it's painful to reduce the German studies amount, but it is time. At least until I somewhat settle in. Meanwhile I can keep it on low fire, maybe 15-30 minutes a day, along with maintaining spanish and learning a little bit of arabic. I mean I'm going to come accross German a lot anyway... Especially if I am to read profession literature now, and to deal with the profession I originally planned to deal with

Keep it up! :)

If I have helped managed to help you move towards your self-realization/health even one little tiny bit, then I am very honored. Thanks a lot for letting me know that I might have done so! Yes indeed, that was the Idea, because you know, what counts in the end is the total amount of days you spent, and not how many it was in a row... That is a reminder to avoid giving in to gaming right there and then, and not keep going for more days, just because your count is on "day 0". And also, that even if you slipped, you're not really at day 0, but you have a history of overcoming short term urges (once you build one of course :) )

Indeed health is the solid base from which everything starts. I try to set it at the top of my value pyramid. Although I don't always manage to follow through, I guess there are a lot of times I do.

Cheers! See your topic in the daily diaries section soon? :)
