Ate pizza and smoked a joint

i quit smoking and pizza, but its holidays so fuck it
>>
I run my first 5k today.

Ate a shitload of potato wedges afterwards
>>
I decided to give up porn.
>>
I started to chop my goals into meta goals and subgoals and did a excel for that, so I can keep track of muh gainz
>>
30 mins of cardio in the morning. Lifting a couple of hours later and then 20 mins of cardio a couple of hours before bed
>>
>>35412847
Good decision. I'm currently on month 4 of no fap and no porn and I have never felt more clear in my head than ever. Also, when I stopped porn and fapping, I started training way more consistently and as good as never before. There are serious gains to be made not only for the brain and muscles but also social ones. Stick to it, you won't regret it.

Why don't you use habitica(.com)?

Didn't smoke, didn't drink, worked out, didn't eat too much, worked half an hour longer so not a bad day. :)

Pic unrelated, some humour to celebrate

Woke up and meditated, trying to get back in to the habit of it.

After a big break I'm back on the noporn wagon too

Thanks for these posts, reminded me where I need to get back. The last two weeks have been rough.

Decided to cut contact with a girl I was having a not so fun conversations with lately. Sad because it started real great but I guess some things are just not meant to be. Good luck to her though.
>>
>>35415594

If you eat enough this is no issue at all. I have been lifting in the mornings and doing cardio for 1 hour give or take (bike through city) in the evenings and still consistently putting on weight. You just gotta eat like a motherfucker but I guess a bit of effort is too much to ask from you girls.
>>
any tips on how to speak clearly and confidently like a normal person and not to stutter and mumble?
>>
>>35412721

Finally left hermit mode, cut my hair and shaved off my neckbeard.
Got invitation to some New Years party, should I go or work on something instead?

I managed to keep my dick in my pants when I saw children playing outside.
Not that they would see it as there is wall + window in front of it.

Nope. Good luck.

Concentrate on translating information and not on your opposite for beginners.
Build sentences in your head before moving your tongue. Talk in a relaxed pace and breathe normally.

Realized I need to buy heavier weights and stop thinking there will be a magic moment when I'm not a lightly out of shape faggot and I'll transition to bigger weights.

60 min of fasted cardio on yoh hcl and caffeine, shir was cash

Speak slightly more slowly

Second day off weed. Used to smoke a g daily. Town is frozen in a storm and I can't find shit. Might as well try quitting for real. I could use an extra $200 every month. I'm scared I'm just gonna give in to booze or something else though, I'm an autist and life sucks sober
>>
>>35416339
I've stopped blazing for the past 3 months, trust me, after 2 weeks for me, I don't really want to smoke that often anymore. I used to smoke every day. Now I think I've smoked small amounts about 6 times? You just do more shit when you're not stoned all the time.

Give it a try and stick with it, I think you'll find its quite rewarding.

tried to decide on a new hairstyle.
failed.
Closest i came to making a change in 20 years

On the bright side, Im moderately friendly to the guy at the cafeteria so my lunch is now very reasonably priced
>>
>>35415924
1) Relax
2) speak slowly
3) don't get flustered if you day something silly, realize you are human and everyone makes mistakes, otherwise you'll get upset and make more.


I didn't list "plan sentences in your head" because I feel like you can get dependent on it and if you are put on the spot you'll relapse back to mumbles and stutters.

crush is out of town and no longer bein a gains goblin. This week has been really productive (however lonely)
>hit PR in overhead press, make small progress around bench and pulldowns as well
>redecorated my bedroom and moved my furniture to make it cozier and better for company
>looked up new beds online, gonna buy one that's about 150cm (current one is 1m)
>try out some new and fresh cologne
>try out different sorts of wine
>explore my limits and tastes and preferances
I spent most days up until Christmas crying because I got depressed and didnt think my crush was into me anymore (I still dont know but Im not letting it ruin me anymore).

This is okay, isnt it?
>>
>>35416374
It's just so hard when weed is literally the only thing in life that makes me feel happy. With my autism I don't feel happiness or satisfaction from doing anything. Thanks for the support though bro, hopefully I can do it too

I don't even count them why would I do that on a cut

go to this party. social gains are important, and even if you dont make any social gains, its great fun just drinking and having a good time.
>>35415935
this is good. never give in to your urges, anon. stay strong
>>35416425
your crush is out of town and you spend the days before christmas crying and feeling depressed and lonely. didnt want to read further, but fortunetly i did.

I ate. For a depressed fuck, that's pretty good. 6 eggs and a big can of tuna.
I ordered a late christmas gift for myself.
I talked with a cute coworker about hanging out; her brother had killed himself and mine did too. I'm still raw about it and just want someone to talk to (but it helps that she has a great ass and perky nipples).

I haven't replied to her. Give me strength /fit/.

>>35416570
Not the anon you're replying too, but thanks. I recently cut off ties with an ex. It's tough, but when I try to view it from an outside perspective, it's the only logical thing to do. I didn't do that with my first ex, and that relationship dragged on and eventually I realized I couldn't trust her and didn't love her anymore. It looked like I was going thru the same motions this time around.


As for something positive, I did 30 minutes of cardio after my workout today. Feels good lads.

Nothing today, but what i've been working on (and will continue to work on in 2016):

>Playing Piano
>practise singing
>Reading books (i've read at least two books by tons of "the classics" authors: Hemningway, Dostovjeski, Woolf. Orwell ,Kafka etc). Don't find much use for it in social settings, but great to have the knowledge when you're with snobby hipster or older people
>Study some art history and keep a folder of art (again not much use, and i'm pretty plebtire, but every now and then i'll run in to a 9/10 cuti314 who studies art "ooh my god you like Rothko?? I loooove him" )
>Gonna read more "self help" and books about economics next year
>Learning French
>"Force" myself to listen to more obscure, /mu/ - tire music cus it's a great way to bind with people
>Migh pick up MMA next year also, mostly because i feel like i need a "real" hobby, but idk maybe something else?
>Might also start drawing again and learn a programminig language (read that it takes 6 months a year to get fluent)

I live in the city so my goals are greatly influenced by that. Probably to much stuff, but I have a ton of dead time so might as well try and improve everything, i want to be that "knows and can do everything guy" that constantly impress people. Also i do it pretty much all for girls, including lifting.
>>
>>35416686
If youre into reading and French, read In Search of Lost Time by Proust. You can read it in English but the french setting will keep you motivated.

OIf that series, Swann's Way is particularly good. Proust is by far the most insightful writer ive ever come across. Some passages I reread a few times in a row just thinking "fuck, thats exactly how that thing is"

Also dont be a tapout fag. MMA is for losers with small dicks
>>
>>35412730
Kill yourself or get some willpower you spineless faggot.

>>35416659
Ive noticed that too--you can find yourself in a situation that if it were happening to someone else you'd say "what the fuck are you doing, make a change" without ever realizing it

I stopped fapping to shemales and now restrict myself to 3 weekly fapping sessions of chubby or japanese swimsuit porn.

I upped my workout sessions to 4 times a week
>>
I masturbated thrice, I ate a whole pizza, I drank a monster energy drink, and I tried reading a scientific american article.

Tomorrow is my next workout day, but I don't think I'm gonna make it in the long run because of how shit my diet is. I live with my uncle and he has a lot of unhealthy food and doesn't buy enough of what I need.
>>
>>35415594
you no cardio guys are the biggest trolls. Nothing makes your entire body look swole because of blood flow then cardio.
>>
>>35416777
get a job

In the meantime, you can make gains with a less than optimal diet. I eat pizza soda and energy drinks every day and still have an adonis belt. The more important thing for beginners is t develop disciprine. If you build it for working out, then you can transition it to diet
>>
>>35412721
Didn't drink any alcohol and tried to go to the gym but apparently it is closed all week.

Guess I will start next week.

Thats wheyyy to much cardio to do on YOH, you better be walking ultra slow or id recommend shortening it

Nah i bailed on joyce. Proust is very manageable, maybe a bit dry but outstanding

Studied on how to count macros...I was always a bit confused on the topic but now things are becoming much more clear. Been hoisting for 2 years but I'm ready to get serious.

It's the socializing that's the hard bit. Once you know a girl well you can generally tell if she likes you so from there it's just finding the courage to ask her out.
