  • Do you have any streaks? For example, "sober for one day." Feel free to post your streak every day in this thread.
  • If you don't have a continuous streak, did you manage to abstain from something for a day or more?

    August overall was pretty eh. First 2.5 weeks were freaking amazing in so far as my workouts. Probably the most consistent I've been, which is especially goo since I started a new program.. But it fell apart towards the end because I've been at work so much and I usually sacrifice something to try and preserve energy. Unfortunately that was going to the gym. I did continue working out at home, but usually for a short time and it feel like its easy to fall back and sit for way too long. I'll probably start going again on Tuesday since I'll be on the tail end of a stretch of working for 13 of the last 14 days.

    I'm starting to see some gains though and my arms are starting to look more defined and my legs are feeling firmer.

    Aside from all the working I've been doing lately I've just had another up and down month mentally. Had some interpersonal issues with someone at work and things still feel a bit off. And I got contacted by an old high school acquaintance who wanted to hang out. And while I've been feeling a need to hang out with people more of late, I just don't feel like hanging out with someone that I don't really vibe with like that.

    For the next month I just want to get back on my workout routine and more progress. Not sure if I'll get a chance to hit my goal for when I wanted to hit it, but I'm going to give it my all.
