    I wanna resolve to go to bed earlier.

    Not sleeping til 12:30 every night and waking up at 7 is doing me no favors, healthwise

    12:30? Man, I wish I could do that
    Right now I'm on a "bed at 3, up at 8:30" system

    I have my alarm set for 7:30am every day and usually go to bed around 12:30/1am

    I'm fine with it except for maybe once a week when I'll just be ughhh and sleep in until 9 or 9:30

    lols i have to go to sleep at 11 at the latest unless i am out late or i will just feel like doo doo

    on days when i gym the next day i aim for 10-1030

    yesterday was gonna be the start of my eating healthy again, but my friend owed me dinner for helping him get a job, but the place i wanted to go to had a 3 hour wait (they dont take reservations for partys under 4), so then we got pizza and got drunk because we stopped by a bar where a forumer bartends and then he just gave us more drinks

    but

    today!

    Well, I lasted two days before I started smoking again. I have been to the gym twice in four days, which is good. I've refined my schedule so it's not such a pain on the arse to get a bit of exercise

    I think you may have actually resolved to get infracted the fastest out of anyone in the history of ever.

    I got my bike out of the spider farm (garden shed) after almost 4 years of "storage", and it's in surprisingly good condition. Needs a new boot, two tubes, and a service, but I should be back on it by the weekend. My helmet didn't fare nearly as well, so I'll need a new one. So, one gator skin, two tubes, service, helmet, and I'm back on the deadly treadly for about $200.

    I also signed up for the Michelle Bridges 12 Week Body Transformation online thing. A mate at work talked me into it. So I'll need a gym membership too, I guess.

    Trying to get healthy is expensive.

    I got some pretty easy goals:

    1. Squat 225lbs and deadlift 315lbs
    2. Be able to hold a passable conversation in Spanish with my Cuban girlfriend's parents.

    My sister in law is using one of these things

    and she looooooves it. After using it exclusively for a week, she forgot to take a spare battery to a party and smoked half of a real cigarette before getting totally grossed out.

    You can buy the "Deluxe Kit" to get started for like 50 bucks including postage.

  • RubberACRubberAC Sidney BC!Registered User regular
    I haven't had a smoke since new years. I have one of those. Except mine is disposable



    it is nowhere near as satisfying as a real cigarette.
    this sucks. So much.

    I feel totally worthless because I wasn't going to have fast food anymore and WOOPS.

    Fucking hate myself.

    i know the feeling, uriel

    i've been there

    just think of it as a temporary setback, a minor lapse, and not the end of a promise to yourself

    you can do it

  • UrielUriel Registered User regular
    :( it's just I was doing so well on sunday and then yesterday and today I felt so overwhelmed.

    How am I supposed to do something I want to do when part of me still doesn't want to do it.

    re junkfood/smoking. The worst part is to be scared of failing, because then you'll have the mindset of "oh well, I failed, may as well give up trying."

    Temporary setbacks should be expected on a long journey, and trying to go "cold turkey or nothin" is basically begging to fail.

  • RubberACRubberAC Sidney BC!Registered User regular
    The worst part for me is my girlfriend being a smoker.
    makes shit a LOT harder, man.
    hooooly.

    Yeah, the big problem is welp, I've smoked one.

    Back on that wagon.

  • webofinkwebofink Registered User regular
    My plan is to stop eating crap, and start exercising. Until I get to the point that I can eat what I want and stay healthy.

    Because fuck I love to eat.

    Eating junk is the only thing that makes me happy. :whistle:

    Try not to look at it in the big picture

    every time you think about getting fast food, and don't, or find something healthier instead, that's a win! If you succeed more often than you fail, then that's awesome!

    gotta redefine your parameters for success, because if eating fast food once for the rest of your life is a failure then you will definitely fail.

  • Shazkar ShadowstormShazkar Shadowstorm Registered User regular
    yeah just gotta get back on the wagon

    dont think about how you messed up once

    i fucked up yesterday but today i did it right

    The other thing I would suggest is to have food in your house.

    Don't shop night to night (I am occasionally guilty of this also) as ocasionally you wont have time to hit up the shops be at home and then go, well I have to eat something and go out and grab food.

  • UrielUriel Registered User regular
    I just don't want to have to spend forever making the choice between being happy each day by eating crappy food, or gamble on the off chance that someday I will find something else to make me happy a year from now.

  • webofinkwebofink Registered User regular
    I ate.. salads.. every lunch for two months. I also exercised like mad. I lost 10kg and put on some muscle. And then fucked up my foot and welp that's that I guess. All that good work undone.

    But I've got my 1yr anniversary coming up, and I'm going on a family holiday to tropical climes in 5 months, so I want to get in "not embarrassing" shape for those events.

    Shit is about to get real.

    I just kept smoking because I'm a real cub to be around when I'm quitting. I might have a go at Dave's atomiser suggestion or perhaps some patches. Gum was no good for me either. It's one of those things where I know I should quit, but I don't really want to

    If you don't want to quit that shit is never going to work out for you, take it from me. Hell I wanted to quit and there are still days when literally the only thing stopping me from starting back up again is the cost of a carton of cigarettes and I was going through 2 cartons a week. I don't want to be all boohoo downer, I have had quite possibly one of the worst years ever so it was an absolutely awful time for me to quit it turned out which is why it has been so hard I think, but it is what it is and quitting enabled me to have the money and patience to go on a vacation I otherwise would not have had so I just gotta remember to stay positive about it. Anyway, good luck with it if you decide to commit to quitting for serious! Chantix is REALLY popular for helping people quit who can't otherwise and I had good results with wellbutrin minus that whole period where I was just sheer rage.

    I didn't really make any resolutions.

    I guess uh... devoting myself to my studies more would be good.
