>>77018771Woah, nice
>>77018768I'm going to use my rowing machine five times this week. I don't care if it's only 15 minutes, I'm going to use it. I'm going to lift weights three times this week. I don't care if it's not a lot, I will not get stronger if I use an old injury as an excuse not to. I'm going to eat only food I prepared this week. I will not waste money or caloric intake on slop. I will be a slightly better me come Sunday.
Down another .3kg (0.66lb) this morning, yeah I'm thinking its going to be a good week.
>>77018768My goals for this week?Get the first tenth of this schedule doneAlso gem thread
>>77018768I passed my driving test on the fifth attempt. great start to the week. WAGMI.
>>77018768Colonoscopy on Friday, boyos. Guess I'm losing weight this week. Gonna compress my usual MWF lifting to MTT, but I have to stop eating and start chugging laxatives at some point (probably time to read those instructions).It's ok, though. I have had the forethought to use a female gastroenterologist, so instead of being gay when they shove a tube up my ass it's just kinky.I have had a female GP for years with the thought that when the time comes to get my prostate fingered I'll edge for a week leading up in hopes of busting that nut. I'll be knocked out for the colonoscopy, but it would be funny if I came all over the doc anyway - anybody have any idea if it's feasible?
>>77018768t. resolutionfag - I've lifted off and on since high school but I turn 30 in a few months and I got tired of half-assing it so I decided this is going to be the year.I got to the gym twice (DOMS took me out pretty hard, but it just motivated me to go back) and then got the goddamn flu. Still not fully over it so we're onto week 3 of the year and I haven't gone a third time yet.I can feel myself falling behind, but that just motivates me to go harder when I get back at it.WAGMI bros
I WILL MEET MY DEADLINES IN WORK I WILL STUDY HARD I WILL PASS MY LEVEL 3 CFA EXAM AT THE END OF THE MONTH I WILL MAKE IT Work is really kicking my ass. Everything is delayed due to end of the year redemptions, so my job is more difficult this quarter. I need to work hard this week to complete my filings. Next week I’m going to be out since I’m preparing for my test, so I have even less time than usual. February will be difficult. But I can’t worry about the future or what might occur. I need to do my best everyday so I can complete my tasks. I will succeed. My CFA exam is next Saturday. I’m learning something new every day but I also keep on encountering new areas to improve upon. I’m tremendously anxious about passing this exam. I’ve worked so hard, now I want to cross the mountain. I need to put my doubt. I will pass this exam. I need to work hard over the next two weeks and stay focused. I’ve proven I can, now I will make it. This time, I will pass my exam. The path ahead is treacherous and unclear, but push forward with strength and optimism. WAGMI!
Scott Adams death definitely hit me pretty hard. His stream/pod was a part of my daily life for a few years and it was cool being able to interact with him in the chat. Reframe Your Brain is a great read and I encourage you all to read it. Much better than the Jordan Peterson book i'm trying to finish. Got a few phone screens and interview requests last week, so things are continuing to trend in the right direction. Slogging through this stupid cert course in the meantime. Hit PRs in squat and bench last week, continuing to run...I'll pretty much just keep running this system for now. It works, I feel good, and I'm not hurting myself. snowed a shit ton this weekend so basically just played a bunch of video games. Part of my resolution this year is to clear out the backlog of games I own but haven't beaten, so I'm making decent progress. Booking my first golf lesson this week. i just need to not be shit.
>>77018859What's important is that you're trying. Any effort is better than none. Good luck!
>>77018863Congrats! Keep up the momentum
>>77018768Yesterday, I did not buy salmon and therefore I did not prep food for Monday and Tuesday.I did not feel like eating fish when it's freezing cold outside.I ended up ordering lunch at work and will do it again tomorrow.Today, I woke up to go the gym and ended up sleeping in instead. I could not get out of bed.Tomorrow, I have to go to a work event after office hours and so I do not have time to buy chicken and grill my lunch for Wednesday and Thursday. I will order lunch again, 4 days in a row.What an absolute failure of a week.
Going back to school to teach tomorrow.I will not let the constant demoralization of the failed gen x profs and failure students get to me.I will help everyone I can and everyone that can be helped.I will ignore people who exist to damage myself and others.I will train, I will diet, I will continue to make things.This job is not my life, this job will not kill me. I will do better.
>>77019461Funny. I'm just going back to school tomorrow to take classes related to teaching. I'm planning on becoming a teacher myself (English). Good luck anon.
I'm a 4/10 and just created an account on tinder. Wish me luck!So far no matches but it's only Monday.
>>77019665we told you to go to the gym last thread dude
I wanna die.
>>77019745Yeah, no thanks ahaha.I don't know what's more depressing, not getting any likes or no seeing a single woman that actually looks worthy of a right swipe, there are obviously lots of cuties and beautiful women on the app but it all seems so painfully fake, and it's photo after photo of ass showing, almost seems like onlyfans.
>>77019761I’m sorry anon, me too. Whats wrong?
>>77018864Good luck bro. You have the right attitude and knowledge but you gotta start running
>>77019505Thanks my friend. They broke these kids, it's a very hard job, don't stop fighting.
>>77019827You need to drop being entitled, if they're not swiping on you the girls you like don't like you.
