I watched A Man for all seasons 1966 tonight and can recommend it

• I am renewing my commitment to stop fishing and bounce my thoughts words eyes and actions any time they bring me close to triggers

No Fishing

• I commit and have decided to finish forever with narcissistic pride, which is the mother of lust. This will include being accountable for when I am - mindless - unkind - foolish - boasting - stealing the limelight - vain - arrogant - hypocritical - delinquent - impatient - capricious - habitual etc...

Aware today; not unkind; solid enough eating; not boasting; no group chat today; hypocritical today chatting to one colleague critical of another; patient enough; did my duty; urges coming back as I near the end of 2 weeks but all manageable; committed now to follow God and stop turning away from the truth

• I commit to looking after myself and dominating procrastination, and being held accountable for this here too

Sticking to system but sluggish enough when the pressure is off, need to increase my throughput in quiet times

Cold Shower - Yes

Exercise - Yes

Reflections - yes

Procrastination - No

Vanity - No

Excuses - It feels right - not when I am calm collected and grounded it doesn't - it only feels right when I'm out of balance

Mindful Breathing - Yes!

Sleep Pattern - later tonight as it is Friday

Mindful Eating - Normal today

Personal values - I am born with dignity, all human beings are. I will not let this corruption take my dignity away, for without it I am nothing

 

Checking in. Staying offline as much as possible. Have a great weekend, Fellowship! "the road goes ever on and on..."

 

306 days

 

Day 54 check-in (Attempt 4) - The Halls of Moria.

 

Day 2.

 

Day 96 No PMO

 

Day 1 complete. Sauron's army is on the march.

@Slider8 I need to get prayer back in my life. Not merely as a daily commitment, not as any sort of commitment at all, but as a habit. The Lord knows our rising and our sleeping, our coming and our going. I want to acknowledge Him in all that. Until I make a conscious effort to sanctify my life, the things that make my life unholy will linger.

 

Day 33! Strong urges await me today as I have been drinking last night. The plan is to work-out and write until lunch when I can take a short nap and go at it again!

 

Checking in.

St. Thomas Aquinas, pray for us!

 

Back to Orc - Had a great, long journey but I will start it from the beginning again.

 

311 days dwarf king
386 days no PMO, semen retention

 

Day 25 of No PMO.

 

Checking in on Day 167.

 

0 days. No problem. Building healthy habits that will get me there.

Prayer
7 sorrows chaplet.

Abstinence.
No food since last coffee yesterday. I am down over 10 pounds or so over the last 2 or 3 weeks.

Rest.
Was in bed a half hour later than wanted because of fall. Don’t fall like I used to. Would have stayed up all night. Progress. Still got over 7 hours of sleep. Hit the driving range last night.

Exercise.
Did some jumping jacks this morning. Not for long. Still building habit of intermittent fasting. Can’t over do it or it will all fall apart. 5 minutes of jumping jacks is better than nothing and it is building the habit.

Nutrition.
Ate very healthy yesterday. Leafy greens, cucumbers, rice cakes, rice and quinoa mix, salmon, frozen vegetables.

Time.
Being patient with myself. Rome was not built in a day. One day at a time.

 

Day 14

Took me quite a while to make it back to this mark.

Keep pushing forward and remember to stay on the road! Don't stress yourselves, enjoy the walk instead.
