Hello comrades and welcome to the first improvement megathread of June! It’s the beginning of the month, great time to set your goals and priorities for this month.
As usual, some discussion ideas:
- Do you want to share something you’ve done in the previous week? Everything counts, nothing is too small.
- How was your May?
- Do you have any goals or priorities for June?
- Do you have any streaks? For example, “sober for one day.” Feel free to post your streak every day in this thread.
- If you don’t have a continuous streak, did you manage to abstain from something for a day or more?
- Did you come across some useful information or resource that might help others?

Good luck with your goals! 
All things considered, I had a great May. I maintained my not drinking/smoking streak the entire month plus some extra before. I maintained DND weekly and have been having a great time. I’ve been more social and happier than I have been in a while. I got a health issue taken care of that had been bothering me for a few years now. And I put in a down payment on motorcycle that I’ll be picking up soon.
As far as improvements go my main focus this month is on eating properly. I find it too easy to just skip breakfast and lunch most days. This has lead to me losing a little too much weight that I did not want to lose in the first place. I’ve been eating more fast food recently just to keep my caloric intake up (especially since my job is physical) and while that’s better than starving myself, it’s not something I should be relying on as much as I am. I wish I could meal prep but my brain seems fundamentally opposed to eating the same meal too often. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I also want to do some kind of workout at least 3 times a week. I get a ton of cardio walking my dog and biking to work but I need to start trying to get some strength back. Ideally I want to get back into rock climbing more often but cost and time are the bigger limiting factors there.
Congratulations on hitting the one month mark, that’s a huge milestone! Keep us posted on your streak
In regards to nutrition, if I had to bulk I would just eat french toast every day. I would also eat a lot of peanut butter. My advice is to cook your breakfast the day before. I cook my oatmeal every evening for my breakfast tomorrow. You can also cook lunch the day before and heat it up.
You don’t have to meal prep but it’s a good idea to plan your meals in advance. I plan my meals almost a week in advance because I feel that going to the grocery store more than once per week is a waste of time lol. It also frees up my mental bandwidth because I don’t have to think about what I’m gonna eat every day.
