We have to make a million choices each and every day, so it makes sense that to keep things simple, we always make the same ones. But the easy choices don't always mean the right choices.
Commit today to changing it up, to doing something different, and making the choice that improves your life for the better. Believe it or not, pretty soon that choice will be the easy one to make too.
"This week has been great! I did well most days and only bit the inside of my mouth a one or two times a day (except for Thursday, I was watching a boring video for class and caught myself several times). Besides that, I think the mints and find other things to do with my mouth (I've even started playing music and singing along has helped) has helped decrease the problem behavior. "
"Today I get weighed at my Healthy Balance class. I will get to see what progress if any I'm making in my weight loss efforts. What ever the scale reads, I must not get discouraged, but continue on with my healthy lifestyle of eating right and exercising regularly. Also I must stick to my commitment not to weigh myself at home."
"I watched porn and masterbated 22nd/03 midnight.
And jerked off Mariam's video the following noon. I mean minutes before submitting this report.
I'm not proud of it."
"It is not easy to do everything on the list first thing in the morning but I gave the commitment to myself and to you ;-)
I woke up every day around 7:00 and spent little more than an hour on the routine. The hardest thing is really to focus just on the routine and not already on the things that will be on my platter during the day.
Hot/Cold shower are the novelty to me and they proved as very invigorating. "
"With spring break still going, I didn't get the chance to play at all let alone implement my new intervention. I did start to fight, however, and played for 22 minutes. "
"I took my measurements today. I've lost 3" off my hips and 2" off each of my thighs. This makes me very happy ☺ because now I can fit into my skinny jeans. This accomplishment just shows me l really don't need a scale to show me I'm losing weight."
"Thanks Shitheads! Day One was easy, but yesterday was horrible. My headache is starting today. Wish I could sit home on the lounge all day. Still, I'm proud I got through yesterday. Today is another day."
"THANK YOU SMART!MUG I WILL DO MY BEST! um a new quarter is coming up so I will have a fresh start. I will feel so much more relived. will just keep up with my homework and won't have sooooo much missing work. YES!"
"I have been terrible at this. At landmark I realise I have an act but I'm not sure what that is. So I have to find it.
I am undoing my blocks with Christie Marie Sheldon.
I need to get back o action.
The job role I was offered at work has been withdrawn.
I need to find a new job.
I'm sick of talk. Get stuff done. See results"
"Just getting out of cold shower number 2 and I'm surprised by my self discipline. I had the chance to switch to hot water at my fingertips, but I didn't, and I am super proud of that. Cold showers get me up and moving and I love it. Only thing I'd change is showering earlier in the day and not before school."
"This is tough, it's my first week of not weighing myself and the temptation to do so is so strong. However, when I was weighing myself and the numbers on the scale weren't what I wanted I'd get depressed and frustrated 😞. This would cause me to want to self sabotage my weight loss efforts and just give up. I had become to fixated on the scale, and not looking at the overall progress I was making. I hope I can stick to my commitment and not cheat. It's important that I focus on my overall health. Ten weeks is a long time to stay true to this commitment I've made, but with faith and prayer I believe I can make it."
"Boom - 2 for 2!! So far so good, looking forward to adding more cardio & outdoor workouts to the mix in the coming weeks. Feeling strong on the yoga & strength front!"
"This week has been going well! I've continued to carry mints with me to help distract me from biting on my mouth and I've even bought a few suckers just so I can replace my bad behavior with another behavior. Hopefully I'll be able to fade the mints and suckers though that way I'm not always needing to carry them around with me!"
"I’ve stuck to doing the exercises everyday. Some days I do more than others. But because my shoulder is hurting I did a session with only posture exercises in the gym. I feel like I’m getting better!"

Another good week. Nothing remarkable. Had a pain in my upper left thigh which has me worried a little, but so far has not impacted my running or other physical stuff in any bad way."
"Body feels around baseline, slightly above. Mind a bit distracted by morning experiences. Maybe better todo meditation as one of first things in the morning."
"This week I got another week if orders thankfully. Next week I start at Lockheed and am looking forward to challenging myself a little more with finding time for the gym. I’ve also started challenging myself with studies in wanting to educate myself in anything that interests me. "
"Objetivo é perder em torno de 600g por semana. Essa semana foram 2 kg.
Alimentação ainda está sendo adaptada, ainda não consegui cortar tudo, mas em quantias menores. "
"Day 3 - I woke up around 10 AM with so low energy. It was as if the gravity force just wants me to stay on bed and sleep. But lucky enough, I had the will power to actually do the stuff that I needed to do such as cleaning the room, meditating, cold shower, study, read a book, and writing on my journal. Then I went lazy afterwards, I played games for hours until my girlfriend came home from her Uni. We then slept together for at least 4 hours and ended up waking so late at night."
"Sorry for not posting like I said down below. I've been really busy lately and enjoying life as it is now. Though at the moment, I've been depressed due to losing the job that I really wanted and only because it was low paying job so I decided to stay with my current one.
Anyways, enough of that. I'll be going through the days now.
Day 2 - I woke up around 5 this time with my alarm clock and I had so much energy already. It has been 2 days only. Though, I kind of failed with my challenge of not having sex. Unfortunately I came straight in the morning.
But it was very interesting to see how I had so much energy still.
I had a new job today, it's like a restaurant thing and we work in the kitchen. I managed to learn all of them as if I already knew what the procedure were. I don't know if the NoFap made me smarter or just from reading books and meditation. But man, my focus was on point I must say.
After that, my co-workers went out for dinner and went to KFC. We had men to men talk to one another and talking about relationships and stuff. It was very interesting that I managed to make them laugh and their attentions were on me, it was as if they were trying to impress me. I was also listening very carefully as to what they say and just being in that present moment.

"I am coming up on my last week of no drinking, and things have been going well. My skin is less ruddy, and my dark circles seem less pronounced. I have been able to get more done, because I haven’t been spending time hungover/tired on the weekends or zoning out in the evenings as much. I began my writing project again, and it feels good to be working toward something and learning.
My mood still feels more even, which is positive.
This past weekend it was really sunny and nice out, and it was st Patrick’s day. A lot of people were getting together and drinking/letting loose and enjoying the weather. I found that I wanted to participate in that, and it was the first weekend I had more of a craving to drink.
It makes me realize how much my desire comes from social settings, and what other people are doing. I think that next time there is a weekend with a holiday and I’ve decided not to drink or participate, I’ll delete Instagram so as not to see people out and having fun."
"Tues, 3/19:
I actually fucking woke up before the alarm, at 5:54am, and got out of fucking bed. I hated it and didn’t want to, but I hate the NRA more. "
