Hi comrades and welcome to the third improvement megathread of March!

We are in the middle of March and there are exactly 2 more full weeks until the end of the month. This is a good time to review your progress so far and set goals or priorities for the rest of the month.

As usual, some discussion ideas:

  • Do you want to share something you’ve done in the previous week? Everything counts, nothing is too small.
  • What would you like to do next week?
  • Which aspect are you currently focused on improving?
  • 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!

    Last week my workout streak broke at around 13-14 days. Been back on it since though, so that’s progress compared to what happened in the past.

    Been running just about every other day. So far mostly just short 2-4 mile runs. I’m trying to find the right pace for myself as I build my stamina back up from where its been the past few years. I’m floating between 11-12 minutes/mile. If I can keep it up I’ll probably do more miles and mix in some interval running as well.

    I’m hoping to lose some weight, but so far I haven’t made enough changes in my diet to really see much change. I still feel real good right now though, I have way more full of energy compared to even a month ago.

      I’m hoping to lose some weight, but so far I haven’t made enough changes in my diet to really see much change.

      My pro tip is try to find lower calorie versions of the stuff you already eat. There are plenty of low cal options of every food now. I found some great low calorie bread and cereals. It was a really easy way to reduce 300kcal every day.
