Hi comrades and welcome to the first improvement megathread of February!

I hope everybody had a great January and is ready to continue making progress and kicking ass this 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?
  • What aspect of life would you like to improve?
  • 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?

    Many Ls this week:

    • my parents gave me a pie on the weekend and I’ve eaten all of it. I paced over a few days it so not that bad given it’s my first dessert in a month, but still need to improve on control
    • did not do any calorie tracking, haven’t even re-downloaded the app
    • didn’t journal anything. I think I need to try keeping it around me to remember to use it

    And yet still some Ws:

    • tried my hand at some basic scripting at work to automate something that would suck ass to do manually. Not done yet but it’s not too difficult especially with good documentation
    • I’ve surprisingly lost a little weight

      Congrats on the Ws!

      Which calorie tracking app are you using? I’m using Cronometer on my PC, it’s quick and easy because you can copy and paste entries.

      In regards to journaling, have you tried a journaling app? I think it’s much more practical to do journaling on the phone because the phone is always with me

        Thanks!

        The one I redownloaded is called Yazio, I was using Cronometer before and can’t remember why I switched.

        In my mind journaling was always putting pen to paper, so I’ve never really even thought about it. Seems way more convenient although I do still wanna try writing stuff down, so maybe I could physically jot down whatever I feel is important enough.
