I’m doing pretty well. I got rid of my 80x80 pillows and replaced them with thinner 40x80 ones. Now I don’t wake up to change my sleeping position anymore, and my neck feels better. They’re not perfect, and it’s only been three days, but I’m already noticing some improvement. I already pay attention to good sleep hygiene, but now I’m placing even more emphasis on it because I truly believe it has a huge impact on my wellbeing. Overall, I’ve decided to stop being such a stingy fuck and invest more in things that improve my quality of life. I hate spending money on things I need because then I have less money for things I want. From now on, I’ll always buy the things I need first. Made some good progress on an app I'm working on. Even if I never publish it, it would be great for personal use. As for lifting, I'm still doing rehab but I'm confident, that it won't take much longer. It's also crazy how well I've maintained muscle and leanness with almost no stimulus.

Finally tuned my supplements so my dick works normally, back to July's daily sex readiness.
5mg Cialis, zinc, vit D, magnesium, p-5-p(x2 at night).
Unfortunately one of the girls I was dating hasn't communicated since she left for a vacation and now I think I'm blocked(messages are never delivered on Tg).
Job hunt goes well, whole week is loaded with interviews, got one offer(fulltime office and no vacation days, so will probably pass unless I fail all the interviews).

worked out once last week at the beach, didn't even run once but walked a lot. i think i actually managed to not completely turbofuck my diet but its just one week. got to do a lot of work with different apps and my buddy's game, ended up taking a consulting call so I made some money for just an hour of talking.
got my next app idea mostly ready for android - apple might be a bit more complicated this time around but i'll figure it out. Pretty excited, it's a fun idea instead of a productivity app. not quite a game either.
also built out a business while i was down there so might launch that sometime this week. i've finally fucking found momentum. but i need to get through two more shore weekends before i can bunker down.
the role for that interview is now on hold - honestly don't care.
also a week living with your inlaws in a destination that is loaded with jailbait/borderline jailbait on display is fucking evil.
GOALS this week - roll out new business, push out another update/fix for old app, try to finish at least android version of new app and start it on the testing. try to get an extra cardio session in this week since i have my buddy's wedding on Sunday.

To anon with the coworker and engaged buddy situation. No need to be so salty about the whole thing. Making sure she'll find out he's engaged was the correct move of course. It's basically testing her. If she smashes anyway, then you know she's trash.

But who knows? Maybe she's worthy. It's not the end of the world if she found a fuckboi attractive - that's just girl things. You'll have ample opportunity to work your own magic in the long run.

one more time in this thread
There has been an update to the /sig/ archive last week
I wish you all the best my frens
>>77434506
I am about 8 month late compared to when it was planned but here we are.
Better slow and steady than nothing at all.

I've updated the /sig/ archive, sorted some stuff, added some topics.
Nothing big and spectacular. More like "more of the same".

Same as always:
- check the change notes
- search by different key words
since I know the archive by heart I know where I can find what, by which word and what is even included
for you.... well good luck going through every singel folder and file
if done slowly, really giving each topic and picture a thought, then you are busy for quite some time.
self-improvement is a marathon, not a sprint
in the end, we are talking about years
you will change, over and over again
a long long lasting change, an improvemnt that will stick, takes time


For any questions, feedback or whatever, hit me up in any /MIS/ thread or via mail: sigAnon2@proton.me


I believe in you my fellow friend, you're gonna make it.

>>77463875
Didn't time it because I intentionally went much slower than I usually do. Some guy at the pool gave me the advice last week to focus more on breathing, so I did that. I don't really time my laps because I want to get up to 1000 m before I start going for time. Is that retarded? I'm not good at this.

Some friends I haven't seen in a few years invited me to a house party over the weekend, and it was honestly kinda awkward because I stood out so much compared to everyone else. I used to be pretty hippy, but since I started working in emergency medicine I've had to clean myself up a lot just to protect myself from disease and violent homeless people. So when I was the only person there that was clean shaven with short hair a lot of people assumed I was a cop. I still had a good night with all the people that knew me, but there were a lot of people who refused to talk to me because they thought I was an FBI informant.
At this point I feel like I'm out growing my college friendships because they continue to hang around insane people.

I WILL GROW MY BENCH PRESS
I WILL FINISH UP MY WORK
I WILL FORGIVE MYSELF

Last week I failed 245 for 4 yet again. I’ve accepted that I need to identify the underlying problems in order to reach this goal. I have a laundry list of excuses, but I don’t want to list them. There’s no point in beating myself up. I’m going to find a new training program and commit to it. I will improve my bench press, even if it takes longer than expected.

My busy season is nearly over, I just need to complete a couple more tasks. I feel a lot more comfortable doing my job now compared to a year ago. I still plan on switching roles next spring. But for the time being, I want to excel in my current position. I think once I enter offseason, my cortisol levels will decline and I’ll be in a better place mentally. But for the time being, I’ll do my best

We will face obstacles as we climb up the mountain, but we cannot retreat. We will only search for new paths to success. WAGMI

>>77463927
Congrats on finding a new buddy! Got any tips?

WEW LAD WE'RE ALL GOING TO FUCKING MAKE IT

Goals
- get back to losing weight instead of gaining (mostly a diet change)
- keep runs easy enough so shin splints heal, but no rest days
- 14 mile long run sunday

I have a session with a personal trainer Wednesday that I’m excited for. Going to learn how to squat and start getting form checks on other lifts.

My running regressed from a trip I took this summer. Before the trip I ran a 22 mile long run, during the trip I kept up my daily 8 miles, but couldn’t do long runs. After the trip me shins have been killing me. So I need to rebuild long runs. Have my first marathon in December.

Other than that, I’m still dealing with some difficult personal life stuff. Just need to get through the next couple months…

Work isn’t great, but it’s not my main focus right now.

>>77463611
So apparently I'm not blocked on tg, my ex said I wouldn't see when she was last online or her profile if I was blocked.
Starting to get a little concerned, what if something bad happened. She was pretty consistent with communication previously and she said the last time she stopped dating she let people know before cutting contact.
It's not like she owes me something, if she says she doesn't want to see me anymore that's okay, I'd just tell her I'm happy for her or something.
But ghosting sucks, I always go to the worst possible scenario, like she was killed.

I AM GOING TO QUIT HARD DRUGS, I AM GOING TO NEVER USE THE NEEDLE AGAIN EXCEPT FOR RETA, I WILL GO BACK TO COLLEGE, I WILL START MY BUSINESS, I WILL RUN 5KM AND I WILL BENCH 100KG

At some point it does come down to pure will. I usually know these situations when it's me by it feeling like it's somebody else. I try to think of the smallest possible thing that represents any "progress", visualize every tiny step including things like how my fingers might feel or things I need for it, then when I start doing it I go very very slow and try to find Zen. As I reread that it sounds gay but it's the truth.

To forgive is really like the decision to wash out a wound, disinfect it, and bandage it. It doesn't really even do anything except provide the initial, painful condition required so that the healing process can begin. And what is healing? It is largely ignoring + avoidance of reinjury + time. If you think about it, true forgiveness is nearly permanent forgetting, so "get forgetting".

Not texting her words, just tossed her a couple of songs as we normally do. One while she was on vacation, one after she was supposed to be back. That’s not bad, right?

Now I did a sub 27 5k for the first time in my life!

Feeling pretty directionless. Have insomnia, lots of debt, no job and apparently no way of getting one lol
.Shoulder pain is going away very slowly, I'll try to go to the gym tomorrow and be very careful with chest shit.

On the upside I have a girl I'm fucking quite regularly, I'm learning and reading a lot and I am biking a lot everyday since I have almost nothing to do and I don't want to be at home. Things could be worse I think!

I feel the depression coming back. I'm sort of numb and just want to sleep a lot which usually means in a few days I'm gonna be a full shit abyss. It sucks. Hopefully it'll be a short round of it. See you guys on the other side, I guess

>>77464824

Oof, had to cut my regular 8 miles to 5 this morning. Shin splints suck and I’m slow now. On the plus side I bumped my shin into a dumbbell at the gym yesterday, in the exact spot where it was extra hurting before, which makes me think that maybe I’ve done this before and it’s just a bruise + regular shin splints, and not a stress fracture.

>>77463550
Bros... I was about to hit 60 days of nofap. I felt really good, had a sex drive that was higher, and the past 2 weeks it is high all day. Felt good.

I went too far when edging this morning. Lost the streak. At least the load was huge.

>>77465851
Ah, that one's easy I WFH an undemanding IT job. Treadmill under my desk. Will walk at 1.5mph while working, or 2mph while playing pc vidya during downtime. Usually a minimum of 1 hour a weekday, upwards of 3 hours. Always max incline, which on my current treadmill is 8% (measured with a digital level and calculated, found it far less than than the advertised 12% lol).

Motivation factors into it, of course, as well as how into the game I'm playing atm I am. When I'm excited to play something I can go 3+ hours every day at that 2mph, but if the game sucks then I find it hard to stay on the belt.

I did C25K on it last year too, but got slack with the kids home for summer. Will redo that when they go back to school in a couple weeks, and then I've kinda told myself to work up to half marathon just for the shit of it. We'll see, that's an awful lot of time every day.

>>77465923
I would up the speed at 2.5 and work up to 3. You might not be able to work or vidya at that pace but you can still listen to or watch something. But yeah you gotta increase the rigor if you want abs.

Do you go to a gym?

I've been doing this for a couple of years, and these numbers weren't arrived at idly. I am of course capable of more, but not for 3+ hours a day 5 days a week.

Good luck to you as well. In honor of his spirit, we must make it

>>77465979
Yeah I'm saying that you would probably get more returns from 20-30 minutes at 3mph than 3 hours of 1.5 mph. And of you've been doing for years and are still trying to get abs, maybe it's time for a change

Just trying to help you get juicy so you can either get anal or get the confidence to leave your twat wife

I don't give a fuck who you are and what you do to stay fit and natty, you WILL fucking make it and you WILL be happy in life, cunts.

>>77465955
No need to get so triggered, my friend. This thread is about achieving goals.

>>77465994
I appreciate the thought! I just so happen to have wondered this myself before. Using available calculators and inputting my weight, I've found the the following calorie burns per hour, assuming that max incline:
>302@1mph
>391@2
>481@2.5
>571@3
So for twice the speed you get roughly twice the calories burned with a negligible loss of efficiency.

Occasionally I do crank it up and walk hard for less time. It's not very often though because it cleans my clock out, and for that effort I might as well run and get more.

More importantly, the 1.5 occupies a time where I simply can't crank it up because I'm actually doing something and is better thought of as replacing hours spent sitting.

I have used the vidya time to lose weight in the past, though. 2mph is sustainable indefinitely for me if I'm sufficiently entertained. I am on my 4th treadmill because I have vidya/walked 3 of them to death doing this. And it works! But it takes so much fucking time. Right now I've got kids around and I'm paying attention to them instead. In a couple of weeks they'll be in school and I'll go back to the all day vidya-slog. Just need to find a decent game to play, lol.

Update: The job agency or whatever the fuck you call it was completely worthless. Literally just dipshit recruitrers that take your resume and spam it at jobs. So LITERALLY NO FUCKING DIFFERENT THAN WHAT I DO NOW WITH THESE PET INSURANCE SALES REJECTS. God-fucking-damn I hate recruiters. Literally they are a glorified Indeed job board where you can apply with a resume you upload and MAYBE you can get a job with 1 of their "partners". Basically a way for spics to get ez jobs because they know several contractors who will continuously need them because of accidents and/or deportations. The dude couldn't even make heads or tails of me because I wasn't some taco tosser looking for work as a ditch digger.

Been in a depressive state recently. Trying to work through it and get over it but I can't. Don't know how much I got left in me.

>>77466457
>>77466463
Say what you want, it actually works when I give it the time. I've proven multiple times that, given an otherwise maintenance diet, I will lose weight exactly according to the treadmill calculations. I've also proven repeatedly that pushing too hard results in faster burnout and ends up being a net negative. In fact, I lost a bunch of weight in the spring this way, but went too hard and got hurt. Then summer.

It takes time and motivation, both of which I'm short on right now. Pacing myself for now, trying not to backslide until the kids go back to school and I can hit it hard again.

>>77466173

Yeah, just now, hardest I've been in years. It was with the wife though and that rarely has issues.
Will try with the gf later, where anxiety is higher, see if it's any different.

Edging is a recipe for disaster. If you want to stick to nofap, don’t present opportunities to fail

I'm homeless and I'm living in a shelter. Dead broke more or less but I have state benefits I can rely on for a bit. I'm not disabled or whatever and fully want to get out of here soon if I can but it's not easy. Modern America.

I keep up lifting tho so even tho I'm a skinny guy, I'm getting calories and shit thanks to ebt and shelter food. What's more, today when I stepped out the gym and was waiting for the bus, this black lady asked me for the time and then I stammered out she's pretty and we spoke for a bit, well she spoke and I just sort of babbled awkwardly along. Small high note.

Idk man, life is long. And weird. I never thought id be here and im a completely different person from me as a kid, that boy seems alien to me now. I wonder if im not just a crazy and stupid bastard to end up here. But I wanna get out, and i know I can.

>>77465995
Thanks for the reminder, fren. I'm struggling, but eventually I WILL make it

Been there, anon, it gets better. In 2017 I was stealing leftover fries from McDonalds tray holders before my shifts on a vr attraction for kids at the mall. Then I found a well-paid job and things turned around.
As long as you stay away from drugs, you’ll turn things around

I refuses the urge to drink today. 5 months sober from alcohol. Jarritos for me. Retatrutide really helps.

Stay strong anons! :)

I was 1 week away from turning 30 and a wizard, then I scored a latina gf. She's 33 and out of an 8 year relationship. She's wringing me dry. I'm just a sensitive guy and had to choke her, spit in her face and call her puta over and over when I lost my v-card. It's a learning curve. Having a grand time.

>>77466158
Congrats! She definitely likes you if she's initiating the conversations

started questioning a few of my life decisions recently all of a sudden, not like anything happened. usually I am quite confident in the decisions I make and my way of life but I just cant shake off this nagging feeling that maybe I am the one around me who fucked up. maybe its just my age(39)/mid-life crisis. I dont know. last time I felt like that was something like 20 years ago somewhat after high school.

>>77473894
45 here, I get that feeling sometimes. You can't go back and do it again. What you can do is identify what you kinda wished etc and see what you can do about it now. Do that now before you end up with a corvette and jorts.

Rest is an essential part of fitness. You can't go 100% every day, so its important to have days to recharge mentally and physically. Now you can crush some PRs

qt Vietnamese coworker/boss came back from her trip last week and finally showed up to work, as soon as she saw me she started smiling so big, told me she's glad to see me and started showing me some weird Asian treats she brought back. We and some other coworkers went to get lunch after work and she was telling me all about her trip and showing me pictures and stuff. I talked about going over there one day and she sort of hinted at wanting to go back and that I would "probably need a guide" and such. Maybe I'm reading too much into that but it sure made me feel good in the moment. I also got her a set of jumper cables for her car because she said 6 months ago that she doesn't have any so the last time her car broke down she just waited for AAA to show up for like 2 hours. I handed the box to her and she smiled so big again and thanked me and I think she wanted to give me a hug but she tries to play it cool a lot of the time. I need to quit playing with fire though before I genuinely fall in love but the train may have already left the station. I think about her all the time now. Fuck me, man.

I really wish I never let myself get fat. I feel like I could genuinely pull this off and make something happen but I also just feel like I don't deserve it. She's so fine and I'm a tub of lard, she deserves a better man than me in her life. I want to step up and become that man but it will take a long time. I hope I can shoot my shot before she moves on and finds someone else because she definitely could. Even if it's not me, I hope she has a good life with a good man.

I had my first acupuncture appointment last week and I can't believe how much pain I was in, just been living with a constant 2 or 3 out of 10 all over my body. Honestly feels like I'm in my early 20s again. I don't even know how to describe the feeling before and right after. It was like walking there felt like a struggle, and I was fighting brain fog. When I got out, it was like I was lighter, and the fog was lifted. I noticed little things stopped hurting like my scalp, eyebrows and forehead. My knees, hips, feet all felt great. I feel brand new.

10/10 would recommend

>>77463700
visited this thread on a whim and realized you're talking to me kek that was my post. Nothing has come of it so far but the rush is over so my friend won't be working with me again for quite a while, at least not until the holidays come around but even then I think we have enough people to run it and be fine. I'll see the girl again tomorrow though and I'm going to make a point to bring up my friend's wife again casually to really get the point across and make sure she knows without any room for misinterpretation. Something along the lines of "I hope he tells me when they finally get married, I wanted to get them a card" or something.

However, the more I learn about her, the less I like her. She's cute and she's decent to talk to, a foodie, and apparently she used to be pretty fat and lost a bunch of weight so I think that would be fuel to give me a better shot since I'm also trying to lose a lot of weight, but she's also very heavy on smoking weed which has always kind of been a no-go for me. So things are definitely better for me since last week when I was bitching about it all, I'm not nearly as upset about it because I'm falling out of it anyways, but I also just really want to save my friend's wife-to-be a lot of misery. They have been dating for 4 years now, almost 5 I think, but when they first got together she had a 1 year old so he is basically that kid's dad in his eyes, and the kid just started school. It would be a huge piece of shit move for him to throw that away for a quick fuck with some slut he'll never speak to again.

Lost 65lbs from 330,dont feel attractive yet but I'm not ugly. The confidence gains are incredible. Went on a date yesterday. This lady was smoking hot, intelligent and very charming. After a coffee date she joined me for live music at an open mic session. She wanted to come to something ekse I was going to afterwards but I wrapped things up saving interest for hopefully meeting her another time. Didn't spill my spaghetti. It was good to feel I could keep up with her socially and show her a good time

>>77476476
I have always feared acupuncture because of the needles. How deep do they go and how does it feel?
I struggle with my legs a lot, like they are tigthening up at random and lasting for weeks at a time. Do you think acupuncture will do me any good?

>>77473722
Fucking kek, what a laugh this gave me. Enjoy anon

Wife saw me do the gf via the dog feeder camera.
Have to get a new bed and mattress now.
Fucking dog. If not for the dog I would’ve just gone to her place and it would’ve been fine, but he needs to be walked three times a day.

I'm really proud of myself. Been lifting consistently now for almost 3 months. Even on days where I have the thought "Nah I'll skip the gym today", I still end up going. Feels really good.
Not losing any weight though but I'm definitely gaining a lot of strength.

I have no idea what's going on. I had taken a break from all lifting for like 15 months (except for using the cable machine like once a week). I still look the same or even better and I'm at least as strong if not stronger on some lifts. To be fair, I spent some time figuring out better grip and did some work to improve form just moving the empty bar, so maybe that's it. Either way, I'm super happy.

>>77476715
So what, wife doesn't mind you have a gf, but draws the line at the mattress? Or did your gf piss the bed?

I WILL GROW STRONGER
I WILL FINISH THIS QUARTER STRONG
I WILL BECOME MORE OPTIMISTIC

Last week had some ups and downs, I’ll try focusing on the former. I know I’m growing stronger, but I haven’t accomplished my goal. In any case, I’ll be optimistic and not stress out too much. There’s no deadline for making it, so I’ll continue moving forward. This week is my final skate school class. I’ve enjoyed learning even though I’m not very good at it. I’ll give myself a year to learn skating and hockey. If I’m not having fun by then, I’ll pursue a different hobby. I will improve.

This week is the final part of the reporting cycle. I’m so happy that this quarter is nearly over, I’ve had to deal with too many unexpected obstacles. For the time being, I’ll be proactive and work hard so I can finish this quarter on a high note. I’ve definitely improved at this job and hope those around me can notice it. Starting next month, I need to begin preparing for my departure next spring. I must believe in myself and show confidence in the future. I will succeed in my role.

Good luck with your endeavors frens! Celebrate your little victories, even one more rep shows progress! WAGMI

NTA but they don't go super deep. they do admittedly hurt a little when they go in but it's like a 1 or a 2 - not even as bad as getting a thorn or a splinter. honestly it's more the strangeness of the feeling that will get you at first

if you're considering acupuncture I say go for it. I had major stress related issues last year but didn't understand how severely they were stress related. my stomach constantly hurt and i had poor digestion, plus tight jaw. the chinese doctor took one look at my tongue (chinese medicine thing) and instantly said "okay, your stomach hurt because you stressed"

after the session the area she put the needles in my stomach still hurt a bit and felt strange but that night while laying in bed i felt (and heard) this really strange "draining" sensation in the spot where my stomach hurt and felt a huge amount of relief. i only went for two more sessions after that but it was enormously helpful.

for western medicine explanation, i would say that it's a combination of the needles directing bloodflow to your problem areas, combined with the fact that you actually lay in a quiet dark room for 30 mins - 1 hour which people hardly take the time to do and is enormously helpful if youre stressed. even if your problems arent stress related, per se, if you reduce your stress (which everyone can and should do) you WILL improve. massages also help with that same purpose so pick which one you like. obviously massages are much more enjoyable but acupuncture is really neat too

The decline of men approaching women functions like a political shock even when nobody frames it that way.
It reshapes family formation. Fewer approaches mean fewer relationships, later marriages, lower birth rates, and accelerating demographic decline. That feeds directly into labor shortages, pension stress, immigration politics, and generational conflict. Governments can pass incentives but they cannot legislate attraction or courage.

Second, it polarizes gender politics. Many women interpret non-approach as disinterest or resentment while many men experience it as rational risk avoidance shaped by social sanction, economic precarity, and fear of misreading norms. Each side builds narratives about the other and political movements harvest those grievances.

Third, it weakens informal social trust. Approaching a stranger used to be a low-level civic act that trained people to tolerate rejection, ambiguity, and difference. When that disappears, people retreat into apps, algorithms, and identity-filtered spaces which harden group boundaries and reduce empathy.

Fourth, it shifts power to platforms and institutions. Dating apps, HR departments, and legal frameworks mediate intimacy that used to be negotiated face to face. That concentrates cultural authority in systems optimized for liability management and profit, not human bonding.

Finally, it produces downstream radicalization. Large populations of unattached men historically correlate with instability, withdrawal, or extremist politics. Most do not become violent but many disengage from civic life, work, and optimism itself which is politically corrosive.

Rolled out website for new business and am officially launched. Got approved for ads on my first app, going to launch those this week. crossed the 50 user mark so hopefully the momentum keeps up. didnt get to work on my new app because i wanted to work on ads and had to build a new deployment pipeline which took the better part of an actual work day (i usually do this in parallel with my real job)

didn't get an extra cardio session in but my buddy's wedding was great. wife looked great, i looked great. i managed to have only three drinks which is probably a record.

i'm so ready for fall. the inlaws shore house is nice but working in strange places is just disruptive while i'm trying to build stuff as well as trying to get into other companies. gimme fall, pumpkins, football, all the good stuff.

Goals this week - actually get back into cardio, get the new app into testing. i'd like to revisit the fitness game i started building.

>>77477126
>Many women interpret non-approach as disinterest or resentment

You need to wake the fuck up and understand that these women don't want you to approach, if they did they wouldn't avoid eye contact, have resting bitch face or give off body language that screams 'stay away, you're not good enough'. These women don't want 99% of men to approach and it has nothing to do with feminism. It's a consequence of communications technology, instead of picking between the 5 guys she knew growing up, now she is picking between the 50 million guys on her phone.

It's a massive bitch filtration event, the girls who aren't deluded and have normal standards pick some normal guy from their phone and have a family, the others don't pass on their genes because they are not fit for the technological future. As is the same for guys who refuse to play.

They don't go far and they don't hurt much at all. You feel a tingling sensation and you lie there for around 20-30 minutes. I didn't even know what acupuncture could even help me with, but since just going for one session, I'm curious how others will feel. I have pain in my wrists from lifting, cycling, typing, etc. and have digestive issues.

I worked nights for 5 years in my previous position, and I think that caused a lot of tightness in my head and neck. 4 years later I've still been dealing with that pain ever since and thought it was normal. I still have problems searching for words during a conversation, and concentrating on what people are saying.

Schedule an appointment and tell them about your legs. Guaranteed it's stress-related. My wife did an osteopathic therapy session last week to reduce some pain from pregnancy and childbirth. She has more sessions to go to reduce more pain.

>>77477252

failed my driving test twice despite being the best driver i know. i have driven many large dump trucks with trailers and heavy equipment attached without incident, while my friends who passed on the first try have been in multiple accidents.so don't beat yourself up.
it took me paying for a test at a private driving school to pass. since they're a business, they're incentivized to pass people and not be miserable DMV pricks, so shell the money out for that if you are in the US.

fun fact: i also had my license suspended for 3 months because i was speeding on the highway (in the left lane, safely, 83 in a 55). the dickhead state trooper didnt tell me if i paid the ticket (which i thought was kind of fair to do because i was in fact speeding) id get my license suspended since i was a junior driver. it sucked turning in my license a few months after i got it. but, point being, im an excellent, safe, and technically skilled driver who had a much harder time getting my license and keeping it than my retard friends, so dont take it personally that you failed

Today's lifts
>DB bench 3x6 @ 105s plus a shanked 1x2 with the 115s
>DB row 3x8 @ 125
>DB skulls 4x12
>Rear delt flies 3x15
Took last Thursday/Friday off (and will again this week) so was feeling a bit rusty
115s are looking like the limit on DB bench for the time being
Cable area was infested with zoomers doing the meme so had to stick with the dumbbells for the cheap work, the skulls were making my triceps quiver though so maybe I'll keep doing them for a bit

Still homeless, in a shelter. I'll be honest, I did smoke weed once or twice since ending up here, but I've made the decision to quit as well as abstain from all that crap in the future too. I wonder if it's actually possible to get out of here from this situation. Modern America is an economic zone that's nearly been picked clean. We'll, maybe there's a chance I can find something if I keep my head up. I'll keep trying.

Oddly enough my heart is softening a little from the cynicism. Idk if I can be a good person, but I dont think I have the ugly inner core to be truly bad. Idk, I think I'm just autistic or off or something mentally to end up here like this.

Great job! When you’re first beginning, the most important part is just going to the gym. You’re already showing discipline that’ll take you far

Finally went back to the gym last week. Had a nice hike with loved ones last Monday. Trying to plan a last minute hike tomorrow with a friend, still haven't figured out where I'll take us but I hope we get plenty of time in the wilderness.
I've been lazy about reworking my splits but I think I'll have to buckle down and do that tonight. Finally starting my cut after over a year(?). Hoping to stay committed cuz Creator, I am so tired of being a fatty. Still need to manage my time better and start making time for cooking/meal prep but at the very least, im counting and weighing things again.

>>77463550
New week, same goals.
>you know what they are
>you know I've gotten no closer
Shitty weekend. Nothing particular, just the usual lack of getting what I want.

Still striving. Lifts are doing as well as can be expected, diet going ok I guess, weekend excess as usual. I'm back on the horse, but the horse isn't happy about it.

Interesting thing today. Couple of assessors came by to check out some recent work done on the house. They rang the bell and when I didn't answer immediately, they started wandering around. Helped themselves to the driveway, walked up to the gate at the end there and started talking to my kids through the fence.

Youngest comes and gets me. I'm confused because she's bad at describing things, and it seems improbable. I come out to find two randos with clipboards, woman and man, all up on my property. They hadn't opened the gate, but they're peeking over the fence.

I ask them who they are, they're from the county, start drilling me on my house. It's all public info, but it's stuff like, howany bathrooms bedrooms, etc.

I answer a few and then, getting irritated, mad because who are these people up my driveway talking to my kids, go, what are you people doing here on my property?

Dude says they have the same right to go on my land as utilities. Laying it down for me. And let me tell you, this guy is the muscle. Foot long beard, tough guy biker wannabe type in a polo. He's picking up on my attitude and ready to go.

So I'm proud to say, I went straight to battle. Got into a nice solid shouting match, plenty of language on both sides, and after a minute told them to get the fuck off of my property.

Woman gives me her card and they leave, dude still shouting at me as they go.

Check things out, number on the card matches the city's website. Get their supervisor, make it clear what happened. Make it clear that the interaction was inappropriate and of course I'm going to fight some randos in my driveway talking to my kids. Apparently the woman is supposed to be solo, but she brings the dude around because of some interactions she's had in the past. Got the apology from management I wanted, and I guess the dude will get reprimanded. Good enough.

All to say, I found today that I'm still a fighter, ready to go. Nice to know. Still wound up hours later though, bleh.

I'm more fortunate than you, anon. I have never had to deal with homelessness.

I fell off the train for 3 days last week.
For some reason, I decided to just say "Fuck it" and order some slop. Broke my discipline and binged over those 3 days.

I don't know how, but... Something in my brain made me just end it. I bounced right back into discipline. Bounced back to my workouts and healthy and daily sauna (I have a sauna blanket which works decently-well).

It's hard to explain but, in a meta-sense, I am getting more disciplined. My previous excursions would be weeks, or months. I have spent an entire 2 years off of the train before. Something in my brain is more disciplined to where just after 3 days my brain says "Alright, enough of this lazy shit. Go and work out, you fucking overweight pussy."

I wish I had the answer as to why my brain did that, but it did. And I am grateful, as weird as that is.
Just felt like sharing that. I'm about to do 20 minutes of jogging. WFH job with light meetings today is a godsend. I've already done an hour of cardio earlier today.

Date went well and we are going out again this Wednesday.

Today was the first day I could deadlift since injuring my hand in July. Kept it extremely relaxed but I love the feeling of progressively loading each body part through a DL.

How often do you all take extended rest periods, like a full week off? I have a habit of getting lightly beaten up via running/climbing/lifting. I visited family over the weekend and sleeping on a futon at my parent's house hurt worse than any activity I've done all summer.

>>77476744

My dude, at this point, if I ever get in decent enough shape to test my theory about attraction/jealousy and it doesn't play out, I just don't know anymore. I do still want to give it that honest try though.

Had my yearly checkup. I'm lighter than I was last year, so that's nice. I actually did make some kind of progress. And I'm hitting it earlier in the season this time - (re)starting late summer instead of mid spring. Hopefully that, plus a more relaxed set of goals, gets me where I want to be when the weather changes again.

But yeah, I don't know how much more of my life I can watch pass me by without getting the things I want. I don't want to be thinking these thoughts, but I only go around once, ya know?

>>77477747
You’re just starting out, don’t feel bad. As you continue to lift, you’ll improve in terms of lifting and prep. What matters now is you’re trying to change. Good luck

I am a little sad. I was going out with a good looking lady and sex was great. But she had some emotional issues (if i did not want sex that moment she call me gay, she said she would defend infidelity of a friend, she call me an "almost virgin" for being with only 4 woman, etc) so i got scared and tried to reduce contact. Now i have lost this beautiful woman and i still feel the hots. Should i contact her again? Sex was nice but she give me the emotional scares

You did everything right anon, every little thing you told us about her is by itself a huge red flag. Good on you for being wise enough to stop it on your own terms. That was the hard part. Now, the only thing that's left is to be steadfast in your right decision.

Would you care about some obese video game playing loser who is so obsessively consumed with porn to the point he wants to fuck your ass just so he can live his jewish fantasies with zero regard for your general happiness and well being even though you have told him no on multiple occasions for years that he now contemplates raping you, the mother of his children?

no, he is analbro

Not going to click back through for accurate (You)s, but I appreciate support and discard discouragement.

Explicit no's are always respected in the moment, but we are around to the point where my wife hardly says yes to anything anymore. She's happily willing to lay there like a slice of vanilla cake while I do all the work, but that's about all she wants to do. It's not just about anal anymore, although that has definetly become my white whale.

Long-time thread watchers will remember that she is menopausal and has a shitty work situation that leaves her constantly stressed the fuck out, which combination has led to her previously healthy libido drying up. Sex for her is now a wifely duty, and she performs it and mostly enjoys it, but she'd skip it completely if I didn't harp on it. She's willing, but not actually interested. You can imagine I'm getting bored of that.

I want to be good, supportive partner for her, but that doesn't get my dick wet, and we're several years into this pattern.

I signed up for a life together, and that means good times and bad. This is some of the bad, and I'll get through it, but I don't have to like it.

>>77481150
Stay strong! As you mentioned, getting buff will enhance her enjoyment of sex. If she likes what she sees, she’ll be more willing to say yes

Fyi, this existence is some sort of simulation and reality is a mirror of your internal state.

The best benefit of fixing your body is that your internal state will improve and your reality will follow.

That is the metaphysical science of why no fappers say that "your luck improves on retention" (fapping to porn harms your mental and hormonal state)

asian actually

there's a fat chick that I think is into me, she seems pleasant and all but she's also obese which is the only phisical trait I really have a problem with. I'm a 30yo virgin tho, should I go for it? My main worry is ending up finding out that I really can't be turned on by her and hurting her feelings

>>77482092
Figuring shit out is qhat I love doing. If I can figure out the entire startup tech for gf’s accounting business’s tech product, I definitely can do this too.
Want this job, they even fly you to San Francisco a few times a year, I’ve never been to burgerland

>>77482575
If you hang out with her and like her personality it'll make her more attractive. If you are with a model and she's an ignorant bitch she'll be ugly to you

>>77482586
thanks, you are right she already started looking more appealing to me compared to the first time I saw her, I guess I'll go to dinner with her and see how evolve

>>77482575
While >>77482586 may be true, look in your heart and determine if you want to be with someone who can't discipline herself enough to be at a healthy weight. She really has no excuse now that GLP-1s exist.
If this is something you care about you will be fighting an uphill battle if you get with her.

>>77482611
I do admit that my first instinct was to think "I'll help her get in shape" but I know better than to think I can change somebody else that easily. In an ideal world being with a fit and active hunk like me would naturally motivate her to get in shape, also GLP-1s are still not that widespread where I'm from so her losing the weight isn't totally impossible, but realistically I'd have to get with her fully expecting that what I see is what I get which is why I'm hesitating.
A lot of blokes nowadays have fat girlfriends and they seem content enough, and most of the attractive single women that I come across sleep around with random men like their life depends on it which is a bigger turn off than a lack of dietary discipline...

>>77482651
Totally valid considerations. I'm just saying that you don't want to live with buyer's remorse, it may be better to just stay single. Hard sell being a virgin at 30, but better to thirst than to drink poison.

>still simping

You're supposed to oppress women and force them to carry and raise your offspring.
That's what our ancestors did.

I guess you can become a hermit if you're low test af and would only get dominated by a shrew anyway, but that's a defect in your psych and nothing more.

Low test

Women all have shit characters and will try to destroy you, so you ow it to yourself to get the most attractive one. Then you at least have something nice to look at.

>>77481150
She has a bad situation that is affecting her. Is she doing anything to fix it? Looking for another job, maybe going to a psychologist or therapy?

Good luck and WAGMI

Bro it's just a woman in a long term relationship. They only wnat sex to keep you hooked, once they're secure, they stop.

Women have no libido, how would they with no testosterone? They only use sex as a bargaining chip.

>>77482784
>Women all have shit characters
but some are significantly worse than others, and if I was able to handle the bitchier ones I wouldn't be a virgin in the first place

>everything men do is for pussy
There are so many people on the on self improvement train the past two decades it's unreal, and I'm not talking about gym because many of them don't even hit the gym but instead do other activities, I'm talking about making money, being social, doing activities, hobbies, just keeping busy in general and making their life as interesting as possible to attract pussy. They are doing all that for pussy, constantly chasing a better looking pussy, younger, fresher, etc. until eventually they find one they are satisfied with so they can fertilize it but even then many of them continue to chase pussy on the side. Some of these boomers are 70+ and still chase pussy, that's right many divorced boomers have girlfriends, just look at that tremendous Eastwood faggot who found a new pussy at 70 or 80 and married for the 6th time. Not to mention famous chads like Julio Iglesias who had thousands of pussies throughout his life.
All that self-improvement, customs, social mores, hobbies, cultural events and other activities people do is to attract pussy so they can breed the next generation of goyim cattle and feel desired, loved and appreciated by their pussy and progeny.

I've been more consistent with my gym routine. Past 3 weeks I've been going 4 days a week. Sleep is decent, max I've gotten has been 6.5 hours, although I'm aiming for 7-8.
Lost about 2.4 kgs since the start of the month. But I need to work on other aspects of my life that takes a chunk of my time. Doom scrolling is something I'm still very much a habit I've been trying to eliminate.

She's finally begun looking. She'd thought this was going to be her easy coasting job to round out her career, then leadership changed. New leadership kept stringing her along with promises, but she's finally fed up and sending resumes. Supposedly. I get it, looking for work is daunting, and it's a rough time for it in her industry, but yeah. She needs to get on with it.

>>77482789
I dont know what to tell you, except I've had multiple partners over the years, including current wife, that were hornier than you could imagine. I had the classic nympho sex addict gf in college even - had to dump her so I could sleep. Wife was a maniac when we started, and still every once in a blue moon she'll be slightly tipsy and fiending for my dick. It's just age and life. I hear some women come out of menopause hornier than ever - crossing my fingers! But yeah, no.

I had decades of women actually wanting me for my body, and I want that back.

Labs came back with high cholesterol. I suspect doc will advise one of the new magic pills for weight loss to help get it under control, and at this point I'm ready for it.
