@Anders: Thanks for the comment, sums it up pretty well. Also I bloody love Peep Show. Most consistently funny series ever imo
@Ollie: I kept it simple! No new recipes
was very tasty thank you ^_^ My Mum went out for dinner, so I didn't see her much today, but she seems in a much better mood. Like Lilliput Haunt said, working out makes you randy, but the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. I think it also makes you feel so good and energetic that you want to keep up the good progress. If it makes sense, it's a sort of positive sexual energy, a genuine horniness, not a drown my sorrows, indulge my fantasies sort of horniness. Exercise is definitely the way forward.
Day 5: A nice day! My mood is much better than it was yesterday, thanks (I feel) in no small part to you guys. I've always attempted reboot alone, and I would have had to face those feelings alone, with no 'soundboard', no real way to express them, keeping them bottled up. No wonder I've caused myself enormous stress in the past. This journal and your help may be the finest weapon against my addiction I've ever wielded.
We've been talking about exercise, well, I didn't do any today, I've kept relatively busy though. Plus I've been keeping more fit in the past few days than I have in a fairly long while. Tomorrow I intend to do a chest day, might get out for a jog for some cardio too. I don't have work tomorrow, but I'll push myself to get up earlyish, as getting up too close to lunch time messes with my schedule a bit.
Anyway, enough about tomorrow, this is day 5! I've had barely any cravings, barely any anxiety which is nice. I went out shopping and cooking again as I mentioned, apart from that I did a little bit more work on my personal projects. I can feel my motivation slowly building up, I'm almost excited to see where it takes me
I also made good on my threat to go do some editing with my friend
it's for a game review, live action footage mixed in with game footage, as well as clips and stuff. If I do say so myself it's beginning to look ruddy good. We've done a review each. It's a lot of fun, and great to see creative projects like this come together.
I don't think I really have much else to say, which is probably a good sign. As always, thanks for your comments, guys
Things I'm grateful for today:
- You guys again ^_^
- This weather! Honestly, nicest British weather we've had in years. Makes simple things like walking to the store much more enjoyable.
- My good friend I was editing with.
- The feeling that my motivation is gradually building momentum.
- Minimal anxiety and stress.
- Fun rewarding personal projects.
