1) How did you first hear about the LSE 21 Day Challenge?
My buddy Mark.
2) Why did you accept the LSE 21 Day Challenge?
To challenge myself to stay off Facebook a bit
3) What was your goal?
To stay off Facebook a bit
4) Which success-related or motivational product(s) did you rely on during the Challenge and which do you feel were the most important to your success? Why were these important to your success?
No products. unless Instagram is a product
5) When did you realize that you were serious about doing this 21 Day Challenge?
When I’d waste all afternoon on weekends on facebook
6) What were the first results that you noticed in your 21 Day Challenge?
I used insta a lot more.7) How did you measure “success”? In terms of that definition, what success did you reach?
If I didn’t go on Facebook except posting or pooping.
8) Success is rarely achieved alone. Whose support did you rely on during this Challenge and what difference did that support make?
No one.
9) Many people trying for a success larger than they already have will experience new, sudden and perhaps serious obstacles when they begin to work towards their dream. Quitters say, “Oh, well, something came up. That’s why I had to give up on my goal.” Winners say, “Yes there were challenges, and here’s how I handled them to reach my goal anyway.” How did you succeed in SPITE of the obstacles?
Well? I just went on Insta more than FB. Probalby not the greatest thing but oh well.
10) Motivation waxes and wanes. What might start off as a fire in your soul quickly becomes drudgery the 5th… or 10th… or 15th… day. Did you ever feel like quitting? If “yes,” how or what did you do to renew your commitment to succeed? How did you persist even when your motivation was flagging?
No, it was pretty straightforward since I didn’t try to completely quit it.11) What was the most powerful thing you gained from your Challenge? What did you learn about yourself from this Challenge?
Nothing.
12) How has your life changed by deciding to accept the 21 Day Challenge?
I now use Insta a lot more.13) Why should someone participate in a future 21 Day Challenge?
Because Mark is good at motivating people. By Staying off facebook, I had to hear less of his snarky comments! 🙂
14) If you could inspire one person to begin their success in a 21 Day Challenge, who would that be? Why would you choose that person? How would you help them succeed?
Mark Farmer- to be less aggressively snarky on Facebook. Because he definitely needs it. I would block my posts from his view so that he won’t see or be able to reply to them with snark 😀
Re: ring- Since I was a previous customer, I got a lifetime waiver of the subscription though ($6/month) and a small discount. I figured that alone was worth buying the ring. If I didn’t like it, I would be able to resell it for near what I paid for it based on the discount, and I’d still have the waiver in case the next next-gen ring came out and I wanted it instead.
Bought a new one. They OFFERED me the opportunity to send my old one back to them for free for research purposes!
Probably going to sell it on ebay though. Since I wear my new one almost constantly, instead of just at night like my old one.
Found a couple house cleaners, but the thing with my eye is probably going to eat up a lot of my budget (ER and doc visits), so no paying for a house cleaner for a while.
ON the plus side, I didn’t mindlessly scroll FB for those 21 days.
On the minus side, Insta saw a lot more usage.
Still staying off facebook except for pooping or posting, and one other exception: actually looking for information, like tonights looking on the west seattle group for a house cleaner!
Still haven’t been on facebook except pooping or posting!
Those are good questions though. I find I don’t really have much else going on in my life besides working and working out right now. So that extra time that I’m not on social media, really isn’t being used for anything productive. And I think thats the problem. Sometimes I just pace back and forth since I don’t have anything else to do.
I guess there’s no higher level goals that I have right now.
I should take out my recycling, but thats not very enticing…
Maybe keep some caffeine and water right by your bed so when you wake up at the time you want to start waking up at you pop the caffeine and drink the water to force your body onto this new circadian rhythm time.
Phenibut is supposed to help you sleep. ZMA and theanine also. But phenibut is the one that will fuck you up if you take it for too long (allegedly), so i’m guessing its the one that will actually put you to sleep LOL
Melatonin might help with the circadian rhythms.
Fkn hell mate, did I stutter when I typed? I said stay off facebook unless I have something to post (or on toilet), not “spend less time on it.”
Its pretty binary: did I go on FB without something to post or not?
This might lead to lots of shitposting, but unlikely 😀
Thats cool that your ring does that!
Have you thought about just going to be at 10pm or something? force your body back to a normal schedule?
So after reading that conclusion are you still going to use BCAAs?
I think the only time i use them is when I want some protein after a cardio workout and don’t plan to eat for a while and don’t want a scoop of whey.
BUT I JUST CAME UP WITH THE BEST RECIPE FOR A PROTEIN SHAKE THAT I’VE HAD IN A LONG TIME.
Hows your diet and exercise routine going Mark? Vs the goals in the beginning of the thread.
I’m cutting while trying to retain/build muscle. Could be going better, but isn’t going poorly. I should be in decent shape by summer if I don’t lose any more muscle. Somehow I lost 5 pounds in the last 4 days. No realistic explanation for why, unless the beginning weight was just a high outlier. But it didn’t seem that high compared to the other weights in that similar time period.
My pre and post workout nutrition: scoop of whey protein mixed with water, 10g of BCAAs,
Why you think you need whey AND bcaa’s in the same shake?
https://www.gymfailedyou.com/bcaa-vs-whey-protein/
>Here’s the most important point!!!!
So we’ve established that approximately 5g of BCAA a day promotes muscle synthesis. It also lessons post-exercise muscle soreness.
We’ve also noted that taking too much of a particular amino acid creates an imbalance for others. This is because of the absorption competition.
Most whey protein supplement shakes contain approximately 5g of BCAA…
And you’re likely already drinking shakes…
Thus there is no need for the additional expense of BCAA powder or pills. Save your money!
