Hello comrades and welcome to the last improvement megathread of April! It's the last Sunday of April, a good time to look back on the month.

As usual, some discussion ideas:

  • How was your April?
  • Do you want to share something you've done in the previous week? Everything counts, nothing is too small.
  • Do you have any goals for next week?
  • 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?
  • Did you come across some useful information or resource that might help others?

Good luck with your goals comrade-doggo

    April was very ok.

    Physically fine. Got a modest amount of my workouts done, but certainly without the consistency of the previous month. Weight has stayed stable, which I don't mind a ton. Ideally I would have liked to have seen some progress, but the most important thing for me right now is feeling good. When I've been at the weight I'm at right now in the past I've felt sluggish and heavy. Don't feel like that right now.

    Mentally has been a bit of a struggle. I just feel like the daily grind is getting to me a bit. Even when good stuff happens my mind can't help but wander about and end up in a sea of negativity. Like I went out for a few drinks with a couple of people this past Friday and in the moment it was fine. But afterwards I just started thinking about past relationships and prospective ones and felt kind of sad about not building better relationships.

    Anyway for this upcoming week my main goals are mainly to get back on track with my weight goal. With the weather improving I'll probably start running more consistently. I also want to start going to the gym again. I also want to cut out more of the junk that I've been eating for lunch lately. Went grocery shopping for some stuff to make myself some lunches. Want to start off with at least 2 lunches a week from home.
