Meal Summary:

Pizza and chocolate bread, I give myself until 30 to live.

What I Did Today:

Procrastinated, another day wasted.

Workout Summary:

Returning after a break, going to take it easy for now.

Squat 3x6-275lb Felt weak doing my sets. Questionable depth, trouble with placement, and may have missed a rep

Split Squats 3x6-25lb dumbbells

Leg Curls 3x8

Seated Calf Raises 4x10-40lb

Abs Bicycles 3x15-Could have done more sets, but I need to ease back into it.

My Thoughts: 

I told myself I was going to start regularly updating this again and here I am until I get addicted again. Almost a week of clean living!

Plan for Tomorrow:

Wake up earlier, before 12pm.

Thank you but it felt like waste, but I experienced a necessary mindset shift.

Meal Summary:

Rice, tomatoes, fish, eggs, bananas, peanuts, peanut butter and bread.

What I Did Today:

Woke up around 7:30 AM instead of the usual 12:00PM.

Meditated-6 minutes open ended

5 minutes timed

5 minutes guided

-web surfing- :( 

Pickup basketball games, felt great playing despite of skill level. Going to find groups for other activities. 

Workout Summary:

Everything felt normal, no real struggles or major form breakdowns.

Bench 3x6-205lb

Rows 3x6-135lb

DB Incline 3x8-45lb

Lateral Rises 2x10-20lb

Triceps Pushdown 2x10

My Thoughts: 

Going to drop the Slight Edge for and now and refer to it when I need it. It feels as if the author was trying to extend a simple concept over a couple hundred pages. Not sure what to read next. Fuck man, I did more than yesterday but I wasted a lot time on reddit.

Plan for Tomorrow:

Stop procrastinating, apply 3-5 second rule.

Some suggestions on books:

David Allen - Getting Things Done

Charless Duhigg - The Power of Habit

Stephen Covey - 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Ashlee Vance - Elon Musk

 

 

Thank you for the recommendations, I'll look into The Power of Habit first.

Rice, eggs, beef, turkey, salad, waffles, and bananas.

What I Did Today:

In the process of forming my new habits. Meditated guided 5 minutes and 2 minutes open ended. Read a few pages of this practical philosophy book, but the writing was not my style.  Going to pick up The Power of Habit instead. I completed a single Pomodoro session without breaking focus.

Workout Summary:

RDLs 3x6- 225lb sacrificed 2 reps to add more weight   

Leg Press 3x10

Seated Leg Curls 3x8-130lb

Standing Calf Raises 4x8-30lb

Abs(Bicycles) 5x15

My Thoughts: 

Hit double digits woohoo! Today went better than yesterday but I still go on autopilot way too often.

Plan for Tomorrow:

Screw around a bit less

Hang in there. Try to make tomorrow better.

Thank you! Suck a little less everyday. 

Just keep at it, KO. You're making progress in some areas, so see it as a victory.

Thank you! I don't see it but it's happening. I need to celebrate the little victories more.

Decluttering my habit tracker, tried to start too habits and I got overwhelmed. Now I’m only doing three habits right now. Read at least 10 pages a day, 5 minutes of meditation or more and 2 Pomodoro’s worth of coding at least. Going to try the “don’t break chain method” and form an order for my habits.

My Thoughts: 

Room is for sleep only, once I wake up I’m going to get out.

Thank you, barely made it to day two. 

You're doing great, KO, and showing a high sense of self-awareness.

Thank you, it's funny because I feel like I display cognitive dissonance often.

I'd give yourself more than an E on discipline. You're accomplishing more than you know...ESPECIALLY avoiding gaming and pmo. I know from experience how hard that is.

I should, I'm starting to notice how much I discredit myself.
