Hello comrades and welcome to the third improvement megathread of October!
As usual, some discussion ideas:
- Do you want to share something you’ve done in the previous week? Everything counts, nothing is too small.
- Do you have any goals or plans for next week?
- Do you have any streaks? For example, “sober for one day.” Feel free to post your streak every day in this thread.
- If you don’t have a continuous streak, did you manage to abstain from something for a day or more?
- Did you come across some useful information or resource that might help others?
Poster caption: "(here is) Your lamp, comrade engineer!
The Matter of honor of the Soviet specialists - give your experience and knowledge.
FROM THE OFFICE - TO A MINE, TO A SITE!"
Good luck with your goals!
Cleaning my rain gutters before rainy season really kicks off, it’s kind of a pain in the ass but getting a bunch of gunk out of there at once is oddly satisfying
sobriety/alcoholism
Maintained sober streak, think I’ve got 3+ months now? That’s not really that long in the big picture but it’s like a quarter of a year and idk the last time I was dry that long and mentally I feel like it’s gonna stick this time
Still haven’t handled my finances or renovated my bedroom like I’ve wanted to for awhile but I think I settled on a new amp head and a PC as my treaty-treats for using my booze money getting sober, there’s a really affordable lunch box tube head that’s perfect for my needs and budget and I only need mid hardware to run the games I want to check out
diet/exercise
Stepped on a scale for the first time in awhile and was like
Set a goal weight and have been better about eating healthier and portion control
My legs have been really achy and my knees hurt and the ankle I rolled is still bugging me but I’ve been more active overall
Want to update my boosters and get a flu shot and workout clothes that fit better then get back to a gym and lift eventually
I yearn for a good leg day but my health is kinda
Congrats on the streak!
For reaching your goal weight, I recommend cronometer.com. It’s super easy to track your nutrition because you can easily copy and paste individual items or entire days. It also shows all the macro and micronutrients.
Btw what games do you want to check out? I got a gamer PC relatively recently so I also started checking out a bunch of games that I couldn’t run before.
Thanks! Will check that out.
I’m a big Halo dork and was a console kid and never had a good PC and I wanna get the MCC for the mods and Infinite. Depending on what kinda PC build looks good for the price I can find, maybe something that can run Helldivers 2. Also always kinda wanted to check out Apex Legends since Titanfall is neat but idk if I fuck with battle royales
