THE 100 DAY SPARTAN CHALLENGE (OPEN)

Day 94 check in.

 

18 days Check in!

2nd day in challenge!

 

Observations after 75+ days of hardmode:

Live life with 100% honesty

Periodic, acute feelings of inner peace and gratitude

I have identified and pursued more goals in the past 90 days than I did in the last 5 years, combined.

Feel renewed sense toward the spiritual: I pray to God almost daily

Feel more connected and sociable: I look more people in the eye, smile, and say hello

I am more focused on accepting and forgiving

Quit smoking weed cold turkey

Desire for alcohol is greatly diminished

I have a LOT more more energy
(I don't remember the last time I yawned)

I'm more physically fit: I train with weights and cardio, with greater focus and intensity, usually 4-5Xs a week, sometimes up to 2 hours per training session

I sleep better (I don't remember the last time I used an alarm clock to wake up)

I've become a "morning person": I go to bed early and I wake up early, almost always feeling clear and rejuvenated

I feel more appreciative of/connected to nature

I'm financially responsible and frugal: I'm hardly interested in/impressed by material things

Minimize use of digital devices, especially in the gym

Reduced alprazolam from 2 mg to .25 mg

Got divorced after an unhappy 5-year marraige

Have made 2 friends and re-connected with a family member

Spent the majority of my 2-week Christmas break in nature, and in peaceful solitude: no consuming of material items; no weed; very little alcohol

Have started dating

Have endured workplace struggles (slowdown; layoffs; refused to participate in "Boss' Day")

Received 2 raises at work (these were companywide raises but it still feels like an accomplishment)

Disputed damage done to my vehicle and the dealership repaired it, free of charge

Skin texture appears shinier, devoid of dryness and completely non-porous.

My eyes appear clear and vibrant

Eyesight has improved: my eyes rarely feel sore, burning, or scratchy, despite my wearing contacts and staring at a computer screen for 8-10 hours a day; also, I see clearer and farther. Minimal bagginess beneath my eyes has now dissapeared.

Teeth look whiter

Face looks leaner and more angular (could be due to 10-lb. weight loss but I swear my face has changed structurally...I realize I could be wrong but this is what I feel and see every time I look in the mirror)

Countenance appears more relaxed, like somebody just shared a joke; it's like I'm always on the cusp of smiling

Posture has improved

Fingernails are shinier and grow quicker

Less obsessed with body image: I haven't injected testosterone cypionate since December 1, 2019

Have reduced my daily caffeine from 6-8 K-cups per day to 2 K-cups per day

 

@Wolfyoufeed this advice resonates with me. I've thought about it, repeatedly, over the last few days and I believe it's solid advice, and it aligns with my thinking process. Thank you for sharing this with me

*Meets your fistbump*

Your quite welcome, glad to pass along wisdom to those who seek it.

 

I admire so much about your culture. When I was dating my wife, she got me really into Bollywood films and the food.

I especially like the older films, before the American influence got ahold of it. (I can be harsh on USA, I’m a Non resident American)

I have also spoken to many NRI’s about spirituality, the Bible, and other Holy writings.

*Head Nod.. with hands together*

 

Congrats @Espi1971

 

@PeterJL

In regards to your post:

I have learned a lot over the years about women. If a woman asks you to spend more time with the family, that’s a big red flag.

The holy scriptures recommend this wise counsel : “There is a time to be silent, and a time to speak” (Ecclesiastes 3:7) At one point, God even encouraged Abraham to listen to his wife (Genesis 21:12)

When a woman feels she’s heard... she feels loved. And your children will see that and benefit too.

Day 19
I want to admit that weekends are tough for me to pass as since from childhood here sunday means a relaxing day you can chill on this days and as a porn addiction sunday means you know all. Soba lot of casualties I had in my past on Saturdays and Sundays so I had planned my day tougher than any other day so that I don't get time to react on urges as a lot of pile of work is pending to do. That's the simple trick I found out to get rid of this sunday thing and I make my sunday as strong day..
