Good Luck Zook

I just want to say, good luck, and we're all counting on you.

I love capitalism!! DM me for the best investing advice!
You're going to have a really hard time getting your money in order if you don't come up with an actual budget. Just posting what money goes out isn't helpful if you don't have money coming in, or at least forcast the money going out. If you're taking this whole life thing seriously, I can help you design the budget, but you need to sit down and do some of the ground work.


Write down your monthly expenses, rent/automotive/gas/utilities/internet ect. These should be fixed.

Then write down what you consider costs that fluctuate. Eating out, smoking booze, entertainment.



Then write down how much income you have coming in. Do this and we'll move forward from that.

Day 2 Report:

Health:
Drank 1 Energy Drink
Smoked 5 Cigarettes
Drank 0 Alcoholic Drinks

Exercise:
Did some Push-Ups and Sit-Ups
Wanted to hit the gym again but worked late again, gonna work out before work tomorrow so I don't have this issue.

Finance:
Spent $3 on a drink.

Misc:
Noticed some fatigue and muscle pain, as well as feeling antsy, nothing too big. Noticed my last cigarette of the day tasted really bad and halfway through it I didn't want to finish. Gonna try to smoke 0 cigarettes on day 3 and see how that goes, think the chantix is working though, no negative side-effects so far. Gonna drink 1 energy drink on day 3 because it seems to be countering caffeine withdrawls, and I don't want nicotine and caffeine withdrawls to hit me on the same day. On day 4 or 5 I plan on phasing down to a cup of coffee in the morning as my only caffeine intake.

dont be discouraged if you cant quit both nicotine and caffeine at the same time, its alot of kicking of addictions to do at once. good luck, and keep up doing good work!

This is super important if you actually want to make any budget at all.

Sorry, I should be better about updating this, long story short, I hosed up yesterday.


Day 3 Report:

Health:
Drank 0 Energy Drinks (Had 1 Large Peppermint Mocha from starbucks though)
Smoked 4 Cigarettes
Drank 6 Alcoholic Drinks

Exercise:
None, slacked on this, felt pretty guilty the whole day.

Finance:
Spent probably around $20-$40

Misc:
Fell off the wagon so to speak, was doing good on everything (minus the workout) until after work, some co-workers invited me out, ended up having about 6 drinks through the course of the night, got offered to smoke and was weak and gave in. Seriously considering cutting out all alcohol until I have a firm grasp on quitting cigarettes entirely.

Zook
Although I have failed on day 3, I am determined to not let that get to me, I will continue the experiment as planned, I can only hope this strengthens my resolve.

hemale in pain




mmm i'd say 6 drinks isn't too bad for a night out, like clubbing till 3am, buuuut if it makes you smoke dont do it!!

A Tin Of Beans

wait so now you're planning on quitting smoking, caffeine AND drinking all at once????????? that sounds like an even worse idea. one step at a time little buddy. you've got this zook.

one time i had such an awful day and i was so mad, that i stopped smoking and started running, just to contain the feels of that horrible day, and i was angry for so long that it made it easy to keep not smoking, because every time i thought about smoking i thought about that day, and it made me mad and not want to smoke, and run more

thats my advice to the op, just substitute smoking with smoking, alcohol, caffeine, going to the gym, and taking night classes

If not quiting those three things at once sound hard but you can get it done even if it takes some time.
