Test your will

[October]

Sup, after reading the masturbation thread along with Sammo’s threads on self-improvement, I came up with an idea. I’m starting a pact with myself for one month, starting from today, just to see if I can actually pull it off. This will be a test of will, a test of discipline, and of self-control. Here are the criteria:

-Ok, so first of all, no ****ing jacking off for a whole month, don’t even look at porn
-No junk food at all for a month, no chips, cookies, fried/fast foods, juice/soda, chocolate, ice cream, etc.
-Exercise every day of the week: lifting, running, or pushups/situps, etc.
-Get six hours of sleep everyday, meaning no massive procrastination and trying to do a ****load of homework on the night before.
-No late homework assignments for the entire month.
-Do something that gets my adrenaline pumping at least once a day.

Anyone wanna join me in this? This might be too hard for some of you people, so if it’s too hard then narrow down the list a little or change it so that it'll fit you better. If you want to test your will, or if you think you are weak-willed, this is probably exactly what you need. And there’s nothing quite as satisfying as succeeding in accomplishing something that you set out to do. Good luck I'm out.

it's great that your trying this...i'd try a few at a time and add on more later because it seems like A LOT to tackle. If you can though, good luck!

Oh, a wager? absolutely spiffing

Since your cutting out all the bad things in your diet, make sure your still getting enough sugar, otherwise youll be tired and get headaches.

 

[Mr. Debonaire]

as long as you eat real food ie lots of fruit and veggies you don't need the junk

personally i find i feel tired and crappy after eating junk

also juice is fine, its good for you.

I'M NOT GIVING UP MY ORANGE JUICE

thats cool and all and im eaitng healthy now and doing loads of excersize, but theres two tinhgs you got to rememeber.

firstly you got to rest a bit, if you excersize to much you will loose your energy and not be able to cary on, you can not do lots of excersize every day you need to take a break or ease off sometimes on and make sure you eat a lot, pack those carbs in but get them fomr healthy tihngs like fruit anf whole meal bread.

secondly if you take 0% tolerance on junkfood you will give in to it. It has to be phased cut down on saturated fat, but do not try to almost eliminate it, and allow yourself the odd treat such as some ice cream, every now and then say once a week or so just not to much, and if you are doing so much excersize you could have a nice desert with your dinner every day or 2 with out any problem.

I'm in. I'm going to start my own thread in the high school forum to keep track of this month long journey and encourage you all to do the same. Great idea October. I've always tried this, but always failed. Maybe it's because I need some peer pressure to get me started. Good luck to all.

First off, nice thread!

Good idea. I will be in once second semester starts, so I can hit the gym regularly.

Thanks for the advice, and good luck to all. I forgot to say that if you mess up, then start over from the beginning, but don’t give up! There is no worse feeling than saying you would do something and then giving up a few days later. And that would completely destroy the whole point of the test. This isn’t supposed to torture you, it’s meant to help you to change your lifestyle and get rid of your bad habits in the most direct way that you can, not to do it and go on a binge the day after the test is over! Just had to make that clear. Ok, keep up the good work! Today is day three for me.

Well, I ****ed up. Even after editing my exercise from seven days to six, I didn't exercise today. And I didn't do the adrenaline thing either. ****. Well, tomorrow's day one again.

 

[Stu951]

I'm going to try it, see how well it goes

I'll keep you informed.

Christ. Something’s wrong. I’ve been so successful in approaching lately, but today I couldn’t do it. And it isn’t that rejection is inevitable. This girl was interested and I lost her interest. Damn it. Okay, well, since I ****ed up my previous test I made a new list, and I’ll be starting over with day one as tomorrow since I’m changing this list today.
-No ****ing jacking off for a whole month, don’t even look at porn
-No junk food at all for a month, no chips, cookies, fried/fast foods, juice/soda, chocolate, ice cream, etc.
-Exercise six days per week: lifting, running, or pushups/situps, etc.
-Get six hours of sleep everyday, meaning no massive procrastination and trying to do a ****load of homework on the night before.
-No late homework assignments for the entire month.
-Approach one person that I don’t know and make small talk at least every other day, or four times a week.
-Practice my instrument for one hour, five days a week.

 

[October]

Starting over for the third time...been too busy to exercise . I won't fail this time, I promise. Tomorrow is day one. The effects of this are great, even though I keep failing.

 

[360]

i gonna do kinda the same thing but for lent. 40 days and 40 nights

 

[October]

Starting over again.
-No ****ing jacking off for a whole month, don’t even look at porn
-No junk food at all for a month, no chips, cookies, fried/fast foods, juice/soda, chocolate, ice cream, etc.
-Exercise six days per week: lifting, running, or pushups/situps, etc.
-Get six hours of sleep everyday, meaning no massive procrastination and trying to do a ****load of homework on the night before.
-No late homework assignments for the entire month.
-Approach one person that I don’t know and make small talk at least every other day, or four times a week.

The good thing is, I've been getting better at a lot of this stuff. Been exercising more than ever and meeting many people. Wasting less time. That was actually the whole point of it for me, to make better habits.

Start date: 2/10/05
End date: 3/12/05

I can't do that considering i have a GF and i have sex with her almost everyday.

I so don't take her for granted it's not even funny. I've been waiting for someone like her and i like her a lot.
