Hello comrades and welcome to the third improvement megathread of December! bonfire

We recently had an influx of new users and I'd love to hear from them. This is the weekly improvement thread where you can say how you're doing, post your Ws and Ls.

As leftists, there are many excellent reasons why we should strive to become the best version of ourselves. This is the space where we improve together and share our progress.

Here are some of our usual discussion ideas:

  • Do you want to share something you've done in the previous week? Everything counts, nothing is too small.
  • Do you have any goals or plans 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! unity

    My goals & intentions for December

    Status report:

    • strength training on point
    • haven’t joined a gym or started rowing machines yet. That’s actionable.
    • weight goal unclear
    • booked appt with new ADHD psychiatrist
    • booked screening call with therapist
    • I booked and visited a dentist but went to the wrong clinic so rebooked another visit
    • steps at 10k average and I’m cycling a lot so this is on point
    • 1 social dinner with friends. I bailed on another to have a date night so need to focus on friends for at least 1 more
    • cardio goal achieved

    Overall tracking very well.

    Actionables:

    • 1 more social evening just with friends
    • join a gym for row machines
    • strength training can be more consistent
    • should be tracking weight goal and should admit it was probably too ambitious, consider adjusting this goal now with half the penalty (lose only 1kg from whatever it is now, and no drinking in January)

      lets-fucking-go

      I should use rowing machines more, I normally do incline treadmill or stair master for cardio and neglect arms kinda

      (I do cable rows and pulldowns for a pull day but I want a bigger lower body and less prominent shoulders and torso proportions so I get kinda gunshy about arms and shoulders)
