DannyMason Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 It's no secret 'round these parts that I'm kind of a trainwreck, but I'm trying to salvage my life the best I can. I want to do something everyday to improve myself and my circumstances but sometimes I slip up. So I'm starting a thread where we can all post one thing everyday that we've done to solve major problems we're facing or just to make ourselves a better person generally. Hopefully, with some public scrutiny and peer pressure we can keep eachother accountable. Since I'm the OP, I guess I'll start us off. Today I raised the weight of my dumbbells to 12.5 lbs from 10. Doesn't sound like much, but I let my strength training habits slip over the past two weeks or so and the extra weight make the dumbbells feel like elephants. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
whichwayisup Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Baby steps are important. And so is celebrating! Even if someone else that step doesn't seem like much, it does make a hell of a difference to the person accomplishing their task! Nothing really accomplished today, but I will post tomorrow. I like this thread! Great idea. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Author DannyMason Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Today I studied a lot of health insurance information and responded to my ED thread. I've tentatively resolved to go see a doctor within the next two weeks or so to help work through the relevant medical problems. Link to post Share on other sites
Author DannyMason Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 I've verified more of the health insurance information I needed to look at, reinforcing my confidence that I can go see a doctor about my erectile dysfunction issues. Surely in an active forum dedicated to self improvement I'm not the only one taking steps to put it into practice! This isn't a private thread, you should tell us about your daily progress. We can root each other on! Link to post Share on other sites

The Tallest One Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Hi all!, I've been going to the gym almost daily and it helps a lot! I went out yesterday with a fairly new friend for a coffee! I have returned to therapy which is also a huge plus! I have also just started a new type of therapy with a different therapist for what's called neurotherapy to help with my ocd! It's important to me to stay as busy as possible because when I'm sitting around doing nothing I think too much about the ex! I also get restless sitting home! Link to post Share on other sites
Author DannyMason Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 I haven't had a lot of time to post in this topic, but I've still been working on my self improvement quest! Lately I've upped the weight I'm lifting to 15 lbs. I also upped my regular stationary biking to 375. Today I was feeling extra energetic and broke the 400 barrier for the first time since I started trying to improve my fitness over two years ago! What have you done today to improve yourself?
