@MrCharacter
Waking up late mess your day big time, at least you managed to keep up some of the habits.

I'm discovering Intermittent Fasting and after 3 days I already see amazing results! @BushidoWarrior : I-F could be a huge tool to help you to achieve your sugar goal without "falling" again...

I had a bad day yesterday. I watched porn but didn't PMO, and in fact just felt bad and stopped pretty quickly, it didn't seem to have any appeal. I'm suffering very badly with anxiety at the moment and it's putting a stress on all my disciplines. I smoked, and, in fact, have already smoked today.

Pleased to have completed three weeks of two daily walks though and I'll roll that over to a double total.

Good work, chaps! Have beautiful days.

 

Don't be hard with yourself @Cleaning Colin : you're doing great! It's shadow work you're doing here. In order to remember what's good, you have to remember what's bad. and moreover, what you resist, persists. So don't blame yourself and don't judge yoursef, don't resist your bad thoughts, just be fully conscient of them. Have a nice day.

Things are not looking perfect, I missed most of mine habits yesterday, but I did not allow that to keep me down thanks to you people and this thread.
In the past, I was aiming for perfection. Skipping a single habit meant I was going to skip all of mine habits for that day.
After that, i usually end up throwing a piece of paper on which I was tracking mine habits.But not this time!
I am still here.

-Even thought I failed most of the habits, I still managed to meditate, write mine reports and finally start with intermittent fasting

It is a positive community, seeing all you trying to improve your lives helps me stay on track.

 

0/21- Wake up at 6:00am
30/42- 15mins of meditation

Drawing 52/66
Glass of Water 24/66
exercise 0/?(kind of on hold)

Since I tend to update irregularly my exercise stat is a bit misleading. I was doing it fairly consistently, then missed a day, then did 5-6 days straight, then rested. Afterwards I realized that it was making me more tired than it was helping so I've decided to suspend it temporarily until I make sure I'm rested among other things. The other thing that makes it a bit problematic is how to handle resting. I'll definitely need off days for something like exercise unless it's either much lighter or I want to run my body into the ground. In any case I have some things to consider for now.

On a more positive note I'm getting somewhat close to the halfway point for my deck of cards. Burgerpants took forever, but I've only got one half left of the 6 card. Though I'm not sure if it'll be going faster or slower for the rest. There's also some I want to go back over at some point as well. In any case I've managed to keep my drawing streak up along with my water thing.

 

Run at least 20 minutes 10/21
Only take cold showers 10/21
Prayer and Bible reading 10/21

Double Digits and almost halfway there!
