If anybody else wants to be added to the roll call, just let me know

Haven't posted in a while because I've been failing miserably lately. I'm at least still brushing my teeth though

I'm still in my couchmaxxing era. Still keeping up with my baseline healthy habits but not forcing anything. The improvement will continue in January

I've completely fallen off of my running. Mostly because of the cold but also because I know I'll suck at it again before I can get back to where was. Other than that, my clothes are becoming slightly loose and I'm liking it.

@moonlake@hexbear.net started how not to diet and like 1/4 way through already making notes on it like how I need to up my fiber and try cooking without oil

Hello friends! Thank you for including me in this i'm excited to get hyped with you all!

Last week I stayed sober except for last night. I thought just going out and having one or two drinks would be safe since I have been doing really well generally. This was a mistake and i ended up drinking too much and feel like crap. So that's a lesson learned to me again (how many times do i gotta learn this) there is never enough and not sober me will make poor choices so better to just not put myself in that position.

I mostly didn't eat meat last week but did eat a little bit, cooking meals for others that include meat offers so much opportunity to nibble!

This week i'm not having any alcohol even on christmas.

I'm going to try to not eat meat. I'm going to get a bag of soy curls tomorrow and try to eat them wherever i'm tempted by the meat they are sooo good. More jackfruit sausages too even though they are super processed.

I have physical therapy this week so i'm hoping they give me some low impact exercises i can do to plump up my bottom!

edit: they stopped selling the soy curls. darthvader nooooo.gif

I guess it's a little early but I'm gonna be cliche and make a New Year's resolution to start working out again. I had a really good calisthenics routine going for like six months before I met my girlfriend and it was the only thing sort of reigning in my drinking but it's been like a year and a half since I worked out and I'm kinda weak again and I'm starting to drink more so I think i need to start it back up.

I need to do a bunch of other adult stuff next year like figure out my 401k and go to the doctor and I want to read more too but exercising is my big goal.

I’ve decided to help try and save more money next year. i’m going to try and start/finish all the different projects/interests/hobbies i’ve accumulated over the years

i am making progress on music goals but am still fighting insecurity about not doing enough

unfortunately i have slacked on running a bit too much i think

Big impulsivity brain kicked in and I’ve been playing a shitty Mobile Game™ for several days and nights, and basically ignoring everything else. There’s one stupid little achievement left that basically relies on luck.

Cleaned the kitchen. Did laundry. Walks 4.5 days. Real food 4 days.

Making good progress outlining a creative project

My characters are getting actual names instead of just "the (trait/personality) one" and I have a sense of the way they talk with each other and "oh, (character) would totally do this in (situation)"

I need to be more disciplined about sitting down and actually working out a rough draft

Have two working titles in mind too

Successes

• got new psych and new prescription of adhd pills which is A MAJOR BOOST and a win worth celebrating
• achieved social goal of spending time with friends outside of gf & family
• fitness goals about 70% met which is good
• weight goal unexpectedly achieved despite Xmas feasting (not a priority since actual weight isn’t important but more how I feel about myself)

Yet to achieve

• still have not joined a gym for a rowing machine. I hereby commit to signing up and having my first session BEFORE OR ON Dec 31st to technically avoid being a new year gym bro
• strength training schedule completely disrupted, I need to find a method of being regular with this. Any tips? I feel like the only way I can keep to a schedule is to do it daily since having rest days means I just lose track and forget, but I can’t do it daily because I’m an elder millennial and my chest gets hurty

Ideas for next month

• a friend who is like 10 years older than me and is in GREAT shape recently got his testosterone checked and he was very low and is recommending getting checked since it’s an easy win for health, fitness, well being, sexual function, etc, so I should do that because I’m at the age where I have a bad knee fuck you zoomers

Bonus: I’ve realized that my snout can’t keep up with all the sugary christmas treats I’m slurping up. I need to be more deliberate about what and when I eat.
