Day 2 check in. Sorry for late reply alot of stuff was happening also alot of relapses but this streak has been good so far
oh man really tough period but proudly can say that despite the urges that made me lose my focus for all day.. I meditate, went running, did pushups and sit-ups and exercises, studied, and overcame, for now.. In 1 hour I will be a Major.. First step.. Not the last
Day 128: Today is very productive.... I still had stress induced cravings very mild but okay ... Alhumdulillah day started very well and will end on a good note too
daily check in, 60 days are gone.. It has been a long battle.. Between good, wonderful, tough and sad moments but I'm still here after 2 months, and I want to keep on staying here.. So @MASTER MONK you have another major now
I thought I'd try rebooting without this forum, and I relapsed Friday night and yesterday. Having the accountability of regularly posting on this forum makes me more motivated to not masturbate. I have now abstained from masturbation for 1 day at least.
Day 6. Still going strong the urges are definitely hard to not fall victim to but getting up to go do something when you would usually be masturbating took a lot of courage and that's what I did. It's hard doing all of this while having a GF you lay next to each night. She is understanding though and supports me through this because she's known I've had a problem. Gonna try and lose track of the days because when I count them off one by one they seem to go by a lot slower. Anyways best of luck to the rest of you!
Day 77 completed. It was the hardest battle so far, and I spent some time researching very risky stuff (not pornography) but I managed to avoid escalating for now.
Day 11. Got somewhat tempted tonight. I’ll be honest, I’ve gone 5 months without MO but not looking at nudity and my curiousity mainly made me apprehensive about joining this challenge. “No looking even- these guys are nuts!” I told my childhood lady friend. Then I came across this and 10:21 that led me to signing up for this Army... “I want some ****** energy now. I want you to push yourself now. Let’s go.” - Jon Gruden Rewatching it tonight helped me decide to keep pushing myself.
Also, success report. My training, eating, and body composition are at all time bests. I was a sprinter in high school and college and US ranked in the Top 100 at 145lbs in High School, 155-165lbs in college. Last time I weighed in at 165 while having a strong physique was 2013 while I was doing produce all day (moving heavy stuff) + Personal Training on the side and committing to a very high protein diet and training 6 days a week. I was 26 years old. 2019, I’m now 32 years old. Don’t throw heavy stuff around all day like doing produce at a grocery store, keep a clean diet but nothing macronutrient restrictive as before, and weighed in at 160.8lbs last week after being 192lbs in 2016 Winter. I’m purposefully not quite as physique large, but close, as 2013, and tilted a little more on max strength and power training - my strength in all the upper body lifts are at lifetime bests, my balance and flexibility are focused on to greater emphasis and are better than ever. Had to step away from lower body lifting for a while, but my lower body strength is coming around to matching or being better than 2013. Gunning for breaking a 150s, whether that be 159lb, weigh-in while still progressing my strength and physique, since it will have been since I competed for a college and was 21-22 years old since I was at that weight. Making it a mission. I believe the benefits of NoFap have assisted in this progress. My no MO minus the P, is probably around 20-40 days. Physiology and Psychology benefits of abstinence are coming through my skin I believe. No-PMO gains!
