Week 6
Projects:
Sim Platform: Despite a heavy workload and daily responsibilities, I made solid progress on the Sim platform this week. I kept momentum and moved things forward in a meaningful way.
Gym: I am doing my cut for the last week and am now returning to a long-term bulking phase startign March. The plan is to stay in this phase for at least a year and focus on consistent strength and size gains.
Miscellaneous accomplishments:
I had a strong gym week , trained 5 days in a row and maintained my calorie target
At the same time, I kept advancing the Sim project
Summary of Week 6
I sold my PS5, so there’s no easy way back to gaming now. If strong cravings hit, it will be much harder to relapse since my current PC isn’t suitable for gaming. Compared to last week, the cravings were noticeably weaker. I still catch myself missing gaming, but I’m actively reframing it. When my brain paints those nostalgic “fun gaming” moments, I now force myself to play the full story, not just the fun, but also the missed deadlines, neglected priorities, and the impact on my work, family, gym, and goals. That reminder helps me stay grounded in reality. Gaming wasn’t just fun at some point it came with regret, low self-esteem, and a habit of convincing myself everything was fine when it wasn’t.
For now, my focus is only improve relationships, stay consistent at the gym, keep building the Sim platform.
I’m intentionally not adding anything else.
