12th January 2023:
Meditation:
Meditated first thing in the morning for 10 min. , felt good.
Gym:
Good session, had good form. Muscle mass starting to come in.
Sleep:
Went to sleep at 11:06 PM. Felt a little tired in the morning, could’ve went a little earlier but watched YouTube for a little longer than necessary. All good, I’m still sleeping way longer than I’m used to.
Reflections:
Productive day, starting to feel more stable. Starting to realize how important a routine is for good mental health. Feeling the soreness of the muscles the day after going to the gym feels good in a weird way. It shows that you did something.
I did eat like 4.200 kcal though, which is 1000 kcal above what I’m supposed to be eating.
Also still working on my school assignments and working on nailing those.

13th January 2023
Meditation:
For 10 minutes. Was able to notice when I wandered off pretty quickly and return to my breath.
Boxing:
Light 5 min. shadow boxing just so I did at least something.
Sleep:
Going to sleep now, it’s 0:43 AM. Gonna wake up at 8. The plan is still to sleep from 10 to 6 even on the weekends.
The fact that it’s the weekend made me feel like I could stay up longer.
Reflections:
Not much to say, pretty cool day. I’m glad to have the opportunity to work on this stuff. Met with my school counselor again as well.
Feeling emotionally empty, but it’s better than a mental health crisis. The routine (or a routine in general) seems to work for emotional stability.
Regarding sleep, I got like 6.30h of sleep last night, but was still pretty tired today. So tired in fact, that I fell asleep during English class and was woken up by the teacher, haha.
(Made up for it by immediately raising my hand to answer a question)
First Date Girl:
She’s still in my mind. It would be easier if I didn’t run into her in school most days.
What can I do? All I can do is keep going. Just wanted to vent a little.
Gotta embrace those feelings, they’re normal. I miss her, it’s okay.

Didn’t post this yesterday.
Meditation:
For 10 min. before going to sleep. Was a little chaotic mentally but tried my best.
Gym:
Went and completed my workout. Progressive overload, I’m getting stronger. Better sleep and caloric surplus are contributing to this, no doubt.
Sleep:
Went to sleep at like 2AM, woke up at 9. Way over what I intended, I just kept watching YouTube until deep into the night. All good, I can do better.
Reflections:
Everything is good. Learning to embrace the slight edge. If I keep this up I’ll be in a way better headspace in a year.

15th January 2023:
Slow day, but I did my best.
Meditation:
For 10 min. again. I feel more at peace when my mind is still.
Boxing:
Shadowboxed for 5 min. I think my jab is pretty fast. Really scared to go to a actual boxing gym, but I know it’s something I want to do. I was also scared to start Basketball, but I still did.
Sleep:
It’s currently 1:32 AM, going to sleep now. I want to figure out why I’m going to sleep so late.
Reflections:
I’m very grateful to be on this journey. To be part of a community of hardworking individuals who are doing their best each day to become the best versions of themselves, is a blessing.
•Hit my calories as well

It felt good writing this, I feel a little bit more love for myself.
P.S.: Took me like 3 days in total to write this (over a 3 week span).

Sprained my ankle:
Haven’t posted in 2 days. Sprained my ankle during basketball practice on Monday.
Went to the hospital yesterday to get a x-ray, nothing dramatic. Just a matter of cooling it and stuff. Kinda hurts to walk and I’m walking slow, so I’m using crutches for assistance for now.
Cancelled my driving school appointments and no basketball for at least two weeks. I will still go to the gym (I went yesterday), the only exercises I see myself not being able to do is squats and maybe rows. We’ll see.
I let the sprain get to my mood and I haven’t meditated or went to sleep on time for the past 2 days, just the gym.
I can do better than this, will get back on it today.

Haven’t posted in a week. I want to get a 10.000€ loan in order to move out. I have to find out wether that’s possible though, considering the fact that I have no consistent proof of income. I wrote down some other practical questions I’ll have to answer as well in order to get it done.
•Apart from that, Basketball Girl has declined meeting up 3 times in a row now saying she’s busy. If she declines again, I’ll send her the copy and paste text in Andys Tinder guide about this.
•Wanted to meet chocolate girl last week as well, but she flaked. Granted, I flaked a couple times too.
•The gym and hitting my calories is the only thing I’m doing consistently right now.
•Ankle sprain is way better, on the first day I was on crutches now I can walk normally again. Still no basketball and squats for now, will most likely start taking driving lessons again next week though.

•Answered the questions I had about my bank account. Tomorrow I’ll go and ask the bank wether a 10.000€ loan without a job is possible.
•Went to the gym
•Blocked first date girl on ig. Part of me still hopes she’ll reach out at some point. For my own peace of mind I blocked her.
•I have an appointment with an urologist tomorrow about my ED. If nothings physically wrong, I can get a prescription for sex pills (not sure if I’m allowed to choose, if I can then Cialis).
•Trying to set up dates with Chocolate and Basketball Girl. Chocolate Girl invited me over to her aunties house to watch movies tomorrow but their would be kids around so nothing would be possible. Told her let’s reschedule.
•Not sure what’s up with Basketball Girl, I’ve invited her to come over this Saturday. Last week I tried to schedule a meetup, but she didn’t reply. As the day approached I texted her: „Sorry, can’t do today anymore“ and she just liked the message. If she declines again, I’ll do as I said in the post above. It hurts a little, but it happens.

Hey dawg good to see you getting stuff done.
I haven’t read your whole log so if you’ve met chocolate girl before disregard. But if you haven’t spending some time with her even an hour is good. Sure you might not be able to get some with the logistics but it opens up opportunities in meeting up with her. Who knows you could be watching tv and everyone leaves for dinner or something. If you have more important things to do, make money, gym, approaching fine but if the same time is going to be spent fucking about better to see her.

Worst case on the 10k loan if you can't get it, then you may just have to get a job in the mean time & save for a bit.

Yeah, I’ve met her before and we did sexual stuff. But I’ll keep this in mind for future first dates, thanks. Spending even little time with them makes sense to increase the chance for future meetups.
