Big Adam Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 My old nemeses have been getting the better of me this past few weeks. Ice Cream, too much time in front of screens, masturbation - those three always seem to hang out together and when they gang up, it can be a bit much for this Adventurer. But, he's not giving up! The past few weeks haven't been terrible, but I've definitely been stagnating and not moving forward in fitness or enjoyment of life. I'm still hitting my workouts, but poor diet choices lead to poor workouts and I haven't been seeing much progress lately. And it's hard to feel like a hero when you're chomping down on your 2nd mug of ice cream while watching a show that you aren't really enjoying but just watching because you're bored and getting up to do something fun takes effort. But no more! Nothing like an inspirational Nerdfitness post to give a much needed kick in the pants. For the rest of the month, I'll be trying to hack the habit loop at its source. Rule 1: No Food in front of screens (especially sweets). Eat at the dinner table and either talk to people or read a book. Chowing down while watching a show gets me into that loop of harmful self indulgence.Rule 2: Get out and do stuff. I need to try to get out and do more things on the weekends when I have free time. Can't just rely on my friends to set up a get-together. If there's nothing going on, I've gotta get out of the house and find something to do. Even if it's just going to the mall, it's better than just staying in the house and watching TV or wasting time on the computer. No more self-pity. Let's do it to it.

Terinatum Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 re: title -- Love that song! I get having activities that just make getting back on track excruciating. I know the screen is a major problem for me. I get stuck in my armchair for hours at a time. Breaking inertia to gain velocity, enough to get my ass out of the chair at the very least, most days. And if I masterbate during the day, give it up. I spend all my energy on that and then I have a "good excuse" to not bother doing anything else. Yea, it's great fun,but... And sugar junk food is my nemesis as well: few folks have the luck to be untempted by the sugar siren calling to us. I'm glad you were able to come forward and say what you needed to. This is a great way to create momentum. Keep at it and find some answers that work for you. We're here! Quote The Way Better Now than Back Then Better Now than Later On Link to comment
