Were you thinking of giving up today? No you weren't. You made it through last week, you'll make it through this one as well
What are your goals for this week? What do you plan to achieve? List it all down.
Take a deep breath, hold it and exhale, move at your own pace
We're ALL gonna make it

gym is closed today because of the storm so that sucks. I did end up making it to the driving range last week but need to set up an actual lesson. work still sucks but i'm in a position now where i can swap a bit of my work and get some more money/expand skillset/job security out of it while i apply for other companies. got three or four irons in the fire there.
hopefully impregnated wife this week, i never got the sperm test again so not sure how much the dna frag has improved. really hoping we're good this time.
goals this week - follow up on jobs, ask for $25k raise at work, finish this shitty book, actually book the golf lesson, and attend a networking event tomorrow. also going shop with the lady for a pair of sexy time boots since i finally asked if she would be down for that. also want to finish those cert videos since they take forever.

I WILL STUDY HARD THIS WEEK
I WILL PASS MY LEVEL 3 CFA EXAM THIS TIME
I WILL MAKE IT OVER MY FINAL MOUNTAIN
My level 3 CFA exam is this Saturday. I’m approaching the exam with anxiety and excitement. I’m confident in what I’ve learned, but I still feel like I’m improving every day. Whenever I gain more knowledge, I encounter a new area to improve upon. I can’t get discouraged. I’ve worked so hard over the last 7 months, studying and improving myself. This cycle was even harder than previous ones as I had to balance a new demanding job with studying. But I am capable of passing this exam. I’ll work hard until 24 hours before the test. Afterwards, I’ll accept that I will pass. This time I will make it :)
Believe in yourself and your efforts, frens. We have the strength to reach our destinations if we keep pushing forward. WAGMI

posted in last thread about only getting two sessions in so far this year before getting taken out by the flu. finally got back on Friday and now that I've gotten DOMS once after my year away, the second time hitting those muscle groups was way better.

Number one goal is and should always be to max out your CHA stats.
Besides that I will complete this weeks uni work, spend no money (literally zero), and finish my first week back on Greyskull LP. I might do my grappling and MMA classes, depending on whether the scab on my face is staph or just razor burn.
Trying to cut weight as well, we'll see how that goes. The weight cut certainly makes frugality easier.
If anyone has good arm, core, and leg plug-ins for Greyskull I'd love to take a look.

Main goal is just to finish the challenge I set for January: no caffeine, no alcohol, no meat. I've been sleeping better, losing weight (was 195 on Jan 1, now I'm 180), and have more energy to exercise. Just overall feeling better about life and myself. I'm still debating how much caffeine and meat I want to have after the month is over, but I'm absolutely refusing to have alcohol again.

Finally got a bigger place instead of a 1 room shit hole apartment, but how the hell do I make this place look nice? I have no sense of style in any way so I just have random furniture in my rooms that honestly don't look very good. I tried looking up inspiration but I see people spending what looks like 100k on one room and it looks like some super fancy shit or the rooms are 10 times the size of mine or filled with 100 plants and I just lose interest in them.

Life after 30 is a slow-motion suicide without family. It's all the negatives of getting old; watching your friends drift away as they start their own families, your parents and siblings getting old and die, watching everything in your life slowly putter out as the magic fades; without any of the positives of things like family or community to shore you up. Everything rots away and you're left with the bleakness of oblivion, no hope of anything continuing. Anyone who has experienced considerable ageing among his family members (or already in himself), knows how blackpilling it is. It's really rough, once people pass their early 50s (or sometimes even sooner) you start to notice the slip-ups, forgetfulness, the declining of fine motor skills, the difficulties understanding new information. Human existence is a tragedy, there are so few years that you are allowed with full mental and physical strength. Your peak years are mostly wasted with education, where you have barely any control over your own life, because you have little to no money nor autonomy. Add to that the time spent sleeping, working, hygiene, housework, shopping, appointments, visits to the workshop - what do we have left? Everyone who has to work for a living basically leads a precarious existence, regardless of whether they are a simple worker or a well-paid employee. Before they have built up a comfortable fortune and a well established understanding of the world, the body goes downhill.

Every single fucking thing is still better. There is nothing anyone could have done to figure this shit out before the attack. That little fucking thing had me by the balls since I was probably a kid. Nothing felt good. Ever. There was neutral at best, but no relief. I barely felt pain unless it was a 10. After the first one, I felt good, but something changed a lot more after nearly dying. I was forced to really just sit in the fucking hospital bed and confront everything I hated about my life and the people around me. I don't really believe in free will anymore, or at least, everything before I went under the first time was completely deterministic, and there was nothing to change it. Which is somehow more comforting than the alternative.

>>77042272
I'm glad I nearly died. I realized so much about myself and what this fucking thing was doing to me. Nothing made sense. SSRIs made me want to an hero, no other drug really helped. antipsychotics masked the gut feeling, but they're still horrible drugs when you don't need them. I've never felt joy. Eventually I just started being afraid of fucking anything because there was nothing. I couldn't and can't relate to people because how the fuck can you when you can't explain what the fuck is wrong or why. When I got home, I listened to music and it was the most beautiful thing. I had no fucking idea you could feel it all over. I tried molly and it was kinda okay. Just sweaty. Shrooms and lsd were never trips, regardless of the dose. My body refused to give up control because it was constantly in a fucking state of panic. Kissing just felt like pressure. Shit like hydromorphone didn't really help pain when it got bad enough, and there was no fun opiate shit.
Every single fucking thing.
Fun thing was realizing that everyone gets jigsaw brained briefly after this.

Passed my final exam and I can now focus on myself again after putting it to the side for the past 3 weeks.
Goals for this week:
>Make a meal plan and stick to it until at healthy weight
>Workout again
>Look into moving into a smaller place again
I live in a decently big place and don't utilize everything, so I am considering moving into something smaller again to save money.

>What are your goals for this week? What do you plan to achieve? List it all down.
I'm trying to lose weight so atm it's my third week of counting calories and reducing them. Mixed results so far, so I will need to reduce the calories even more.
Regarding work, I'm unemployed so hunting for new contracts and interviewing. It's a numbers game.

Right after 30 wasn't so bad, but yeah it adds up but it doesn't take long to change. Covid hit right after I turned 34 and it was a massive wake up call that I needed to get my life right and I spent that first two months of lockdown really setting myself up for success. and then it went on forever and i ended up dating a friend that was also a huge drinker like me.
floated in that relationship for two years and got laid off from the company i'd been a rockstar at for seven years.
going on 37 and i was clawing my way back into a new role. didn't go on a date that year, not for lack of trying. early 2024 i basically went all in on the Christpill because i had tried everything else. ended up meeting my wife and got married.
i turn 40 next week. i'm stronger than i've ever been, getting faster in some areas, those kind of things wont last into my 50s and i know that for sure.

I'm the guy that is constantly posting about wanting his wife's asshole and has convinced himself getting fit is the way to get it. Recent exploits include licking her ass and a fireside datenight fuck where I got whiskeydick halfway through the deed but made up for it the morning after. She's gone low-libido with menopause and work stress, and although she puts out dutifully, all she wants to do is lay there while I lick the clit, the whole clit, and nothing but the clit and then she waits while I essentially use her like a fleshlight. Meantime I'm constantly hungry for every inch of her, ankles to earlobes and feet on occasion with the right pair of socks, and I just want to touch, taste, and fuck every hole she's got and then some.
Shit, this turned into a blog post.

I'm the type of person that always has to have a goal to be working towards. I told myself 2026 is the year of buttsex, and made a list of things to check off that I believe will get me there, which are mostly just pushing her butthole boundaries:
>routine "accidental" grazing of the butthole during sexytimes - fingers landing in the area when position/activity allows so that she is at least continually reminded that her butthole exists
>regular "deliberate" asshole attention - I've determined that messing with her butt every 3rd sexytime is a decent cadence that keeps her reminded without pissing her off
>bigger butthole insertions - she's had my finger enough times, time to get a series of increasingly sized vibrators in the regular rotation
>double penetration - vibrator in her ass while I'm in her pussy
>occasional suggestive comments made in good humor - no begging, no harping, but vocalizing the topic "in passing" once in a while
>tip-to-hole contact - at least once in 2026, sometime when she's lubed from being fingered and properly relaxed after an orgasm, I will knock my dick on that door and say, "May I?"
>bonus: asslicking - not going to push this one, but if I catch her fresh out of the shower and the timing is right, she's getting basted
And finally:
>get fit enough that she's excited or insecure at the sight of me (either way works, I think)
If I can't check off every item on this list in the next 11 months, then I can't complain when I don't get what I want.

No alcohol on the horizon due to solo parenting for a couple days, not a lot of activities programmed so I can spend some quality time with the kids and get some stuff done, should come out of the weekend without blowing a solid week's work.
Keep up the good fight, bros!

Had a couple great workouts this week, working on being more mindful of the food I eat. Not getting Tistic about macros yet, just not shoveling trash down my gullet when I'm bored.
I don't have a lot of weight to lose (25%bf at my fattest iirc) but I really just want to get my cardio up and be able to lift two 18kg boxes of cat litter at once without huffing and puffing.

I finally got to 10 pull ups. Then I waited an hour or two and managed to do it again. I was struggling to get beyond 7-8 for a very long time, so I'm pretty happy now.
If anyone's wondering: I was spamming suboptimal sets for a month when it was pull/back day, like 6 sets of 5s, and an additional set almost every morning.
Thank you for reading my blog.
Have a great day!

I started using a budget and would note down how much money I earn, bills I need to pay and what I spent my money on. I found out that I had nearly 1400 dollars after paying all my bill which made me wonder where the fuck all my money went. For an entire month I just wrote down what I spent it on and looked at in in the end. 850 dollars on food, the rest was for bus tickets, toilet papir and other smaller things, but holy fuck this was a wake up call for me.

Last Friday was my last day at my job. Don't worry, I left on my own terms and with a two weeks notice. The company was doing the 3rd restructuring in 3 years.
All my work colleagues actually give me send-off so all is good. Reconnected with my previous manager that got sacked on the first restructuring. And I got a fully remote job about start in Feb 9th, which will allow me to me closer to family and get back into doing other activities.
I want to get back to running and lifting. I have been focusing more on the former but the recent winter storm kept me away from running. Also, once I move out I will focus on completing an exam for a certification and work on practicing Kendo.
We are gonna make it, lads

hit by a double whammy of sadness these last few days
first of all over become skinnyfat. Haven't been able to work out in months because I am dedicating 100% of my free time to studying for a promotion at work. It's important, but I look and feel like shit
And this whole epstein affair has actually got me down as well. Not just the knowledge (or rather, confirmation) of all the degenerate shit that the elites were up to, but knowing that whatever we get will end up being a tiny fraction of the whole truth which will never be revealed, AND the knowledge that none of this will change anything. 98% of normies won't process any of this info, no one will change their behavior, there will be no consequences for anyone involved and things will simply carry on as ever

Alright, updating goals for the new week.
>Diet and exercise was fairly on track last week.
Wife out of town meant I had more opportunity to stay focused and I skipped alcohol. Going to keep it up!
>Successfully sodomized wife's mouth last week.
Gonna keep that up too. It's been a few rounds of naked grownup time since I last bothered her ass, and it's been a while since that was anything more than a single finger. I think I'm going to swing big this time - aiming for double penetration with a vibrator and my dick. She's had a vibrator once, I've rubbed her asshole during doggy or other odd positions where I can reach, but she's never had something inside her ass while I fucked her.
I suspect if I ask ahead of time the answer will be no. Plan is to bait and switch. Most of the time I play with her ass while eating her pussy, so we'll start there. Usual position where I'm kneeling by bed. Will get the vibrator lubed and in her, will lick the clit a bit more, then I'll switch to rubbing the clit while I stand and insert my dick.
I generally ask permission as I'm getting started on her butt, which she typically grants. I feel like this one I need to just push on through, though.
I don't know, though. Part of the actual goal is to get her acceptance as I'm breaking a boundary. I want her willing to let me do this. Maybe I'll get the tip in position while rubbing the clit, perhaps a half inch in, and then ask.
Anyway, I actually think any sex this week will be a limited to quickies, but next real opportunity I'm going for the DP.
WAGMI!

I've had a rough week anons.
Wound up getting rotavirus so had to spend 2-3 days basically not working out and throwing up all day.
Then I wound up forgetting I had work on Monday and overslept the whole thing.
Then I had got a video game for my wife and me to play, I came home and she had it beaten without me.
It's a really hard week, I did start training today, I'm working on my personal projects and trying to move myself forward but man that game thing really hurt.
I will do better. I hope everyone does well.

I WILL MEET ALL MY DEADLINES IN WORK
I WILL APPROACH LIFE WITH GRATITUDE AND HAPPINESS
I WILL BE POSITIVE
Saturday was my long awaited level 3 CFA exam. I’m not the best judge at determining how I did. The early section went well, but the later section was considerably harder. There’s no way in obsessing over the past though. I want to pass this time so much. I’m so close to the peak of the mountain, I’m practically there. I will complete the CFA program soon
Now I need to focus my attention on work. Unfortunately, this is the biggest season for me due to end of year paperwork. It sucks that I don’t get a breather. But I need to work hard over the next month so I can complete my assignments. It feels like just the other day I started, now I’ve been in this role for a year. I will succeed in this job.
We will find success in this world, no matter how many obstacles we face! Stand tall and keep moving forward! WAGMI!

day late but whatever
Averaged 7 hours of sleep a night in the last month. With my sleep schedule the realistic upper limit is probably 7.5 but this is hands down the best streak i've had.
Almost finished with this Peterson book, wanted to wrap it up ahead of schedule because i'm fucking over it. He's had some good nuggets in there, particularly about marriage, but i mostly wish I had the read book earlier. So I guess I'm over it because I wish I had thought about avoiding uncomfortable arguments and maintaining romance in other relationships. Hopefully he avoids embarrassing himself further because both rules for life books are great material for early 20 year olds.
Finished all the certification videos, just need to start the test prep and quizzes and see how much I actually retained. I think I'm going to take the test at the end of the month.
didnt get to ask for the raise/reorg at work, doing that later. i'm inheriting a shitshow.
so basically goals this week are to prepare to switch to 531, ask for the raise/promotion, take the mock exam for the cert, start next book, and find february networking events. and book golf lesson.

Looking at my weight is more stressful than looking at stocks. Am I dehydrated? Did I drink too much? Will i drop down below this week's goal if I take a massive dump?
79.5kg by the end of the week, looking promising so far!

Alright, well, wife is sick with something. Even if she mends quick it'll be the weekend soon enough, and then we're slammed with kid activities etc. I don't guess I'm sticking anything in any of her holes for a little while.
But I still got that OHP PR, so I guess there's that.

>thread survived the week
Resolutionfag (>>77036518) reporting in again.
Had a busy weekend; dead fucking tired the past couple days.
Buddy of mine convinced me to sign up for some "pushups for charity" challenge thing though: gotta log 2000 pushups in February (specifically from the 5th to the 27th for some fucking reason).
Haven't done pushups in years but I'm only around 205-210lb so I really want to hit that total, and hit it honestly. Wondering if 100 per day will be a reasonable goal; I WFH so I can split it among several sets, so it seems easy enough.

quite possible, this mornings session at the gym wasn't the best - managed to complete all my lifts but felt sluggish and under powered. I haven't done my 1hr of walking today either, so will need to get that done too.
Plateau did break this morning, but only by 0.1kg - so nothing major, I do hope It can pick up a little more, line go down is a great motivator.

Because we're better than (You) and do less work for more money.
But in this particular instance it honestly felt like necessary context. I'm not going to do sets of pushups on a dingey office floor like a fucking sperg.

I'm exhausted, man. Adult life keeps pumping me full of cortisol. I just want to brain rot in bed. I took vacations after a year and a half of working full time with no holidays and besides a couple of days in nature I spent most of it doing shit I have to do that I don't have time to the rest of the time. Didn't feel like vacations at all. Now I'm still full of shit to deal with and it keeps piling up, like a ship full of water and there's me trying to deal with it by throwing the water back to the ocean with a spoon.
I have to work out, I can't let this beat me. But man shit is exhausting sometimes. I thought I was ready for adult life but I'm so burned out all the time now and whenever I take a rest I come back to everything being on fire. I wonder if there's some healthy way to cope with this shit. My life is going to pass and all I will have accomplished is having dealt with bullshit.

>Work is way more important than fitness
Fucking LOL
You prioritize work over fitness and you'll just stagnate professionally anyway or get laid off and then you'll be in worse shape, more flabby, and fucking miserable.
t. prioritized work over lifting and regret it every fucking day even two years after getting laid off.
Fuck jobs, fuck you, lift until your body is solid then take what.money you have and travel the world.
>work is more important
People who are allowed to have jobs have time for fitness anyway. It's the losers who are already targeted for future downsizing who get the whip cracked at them for others benefit.
If you have to work hard you're marked the loser already.

work is only more important than fitness if its your own business.

My sleep is improving again. My mind is clear, my concentration is good, and I feel motivated. I have studied a lot and successfully. I am still smoke-free and feel great physically. I am leaner than ever without dieting. Things are going pretty well right now.

I've posted this in the sleep related threads already. I had mild sleep apnea and I think breathing and posture exercises improved my nose breathing enough that I no longer mouth breathe or snore in my sleep. Just waking up refreshed, with energy, a clear mind, and no headaches gives me a huge boost in quality of life. Maybe it was all coincidental but I'd like to keep it this way. I know it's improved sleep because it's actually a fair bit shorter now, but I feel a lot better when I wake up.

>Do you have anything you look forward to on a daily basis?
unironically the gym, but when feeling too burned out and mentally exhausted I have to force myself. it's not like working out is particularly relaxing, feels good but it's rather stressing sometimes.
there's a lot of other stuff too but between chores, procedures and hustling, time is limited. even doing the things I wanna do becomes kind of a chore at times because there's so much I gotta do to open a window of opportunity to read a book or go fishing or whatever that in the end the work is hardly worth the reward.
I'd like to just take a pill and chill out. I do that sometimes actually but obviously drugs are not the answer. living like this cannot possibly be healthy in the long run but that's not a reason not to do the things I need to do, rather find a way to chill out while doing them
I just long to wake up one day and not have shit to do. hell I don't even have children yet

I'm doing the OPM workout (100 press-ups, sit-ups, squats, 10km run) but with some caveats. I'm coming from an extremely sedentary lifestyle, but I'm not overweight so it's not too hard, but I am making it easier for myself.
>do 25 press-ups, sit-ups, squats, 4 times throughout the day
>agoraphobic and only have a walking pad, so walking 10km at 5km/h
Day before yesterday I did 4 mins walking at 5 km/h, 2 mins jogging at 6km/h (the max my walking pad goes to) for 2 hours, and then yesterday I did 8/4 instead. Today I just had to walk normally though, my feet and legs were quite sore.
Nearly been 3 weeks now, I'm very happy I've managed to keep it up for this long. My next steps are to do the bodyweight exercises more all at once, maybe 10 of each then a 1 minute break, 10 times? Not sure, might try that tomorrow. Then if I can jog the entire 10km at 6km/h I might invest in a proper treadmill, but that's a bit further away.
I am also working on the agoraphobia, but currently running outside of my house is probably a bit much for me. Still, I have left the house more in the last 12 months than I did in the previous 12 years, so I'm going in the right direction.
[spoiler]I honestly felt terrible today and almost gave up. Still, I forced myself outside, I did my exercises, and I'm doing alright. It feels weird to be proud of myself. Sorry for the blogpost.[/spoiler]
