60 DoD - Winner's Circle

Being articulate.

Fucking took a long time, I used to speak and type like it was 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon. How did you get to Kevin from John Malkovich?

It makes life much easier to navigate. To be able to walk a person from where they are, to where you want them to be. Pathos, Ethos, and Logos. Don't want to be the pretty face with empty thoughts, the emotional tampon, or the logic on the spectrum, and it's neat to see how each one affects the other.

Kind of weird. Now it's at the point where they will throw me in the room with a heavyweight boxer, accomplished authors. With business leaders in style, PUA and politics.

And I'm simply the guy who burned blew up his condo and joined a fight club.

Even the newest and most lost guy here has been of great value in teaching me to be a better, more articulate man. Even the faggots. Especially the faggots.

Cheers faggots!

Can I get one of those cookies RedJive is giving out?

Lifting: On point. Haven't missed a workout. Just got back from one and I'm feelin high. I missed two DL sessions as I think I pulled something. I did dumbbell pulls in place of those. Back feels crazy strong.
Eating: This is where I've made the most progress. I'm down 14lbs. Been doing IF with a 6-8hr window and I love it. Had some bumps along the way, but I'd say I'm about 7-8lbs away from my goal of sub %10 bf.
Hygiene: Taking better care of my teeth. Flossing more, but still not every night as I should. Man-scaping is now on point. Less hair in the nether regions feels pretty damn good.
Style: Not much happened here. I had decent style before. All I can say about this is that I'm more mindful when I go out casually.
Game: Pulled some numbers had some fun. Was offered a 3some (turned it down) To be one hundred; my wife has been out of town, and while it's fun gaming floosies. There is a depth to my wife I prefer. She's definitely got me under a spell.
Finances: Nothing major here either. I upped my retirement and have been penny pinching since the beginning of the year. Still moving forward on that.
Career: Yeah, fuck me on this. I'm still in cubeville and will be for some time. I'm journaling a plan and steps to leave, but I know that plan is years in the making.
Social Life: Got my ass out of the house more. Went to some cool places in my own backyard that I've never been. Met some cool people on a backpacking trip. Bitched out on the boxing I was supposed to go to. I have excuses, but they are just that. I'm working on it. I'm going to a big city with out of town friend this weekend, and plan on making the most of it.

Overall I'd give myself a solid "B"

I participated the first 2 weeks and the lurked for the rest. week one's goals were ambitious going to a 9 workouts a week. I was able to maintain this for 4 weeks then injury and life kinda sideswiped me. I still made outstanding gains. Bench went from 135 to 200lbs, upright rows(dumbbell) went from 65 lbs max to 120 lbs max. deads went fr4om nothing to 320lbs and my squats went from 200 to 260. week 2 I fell flat on my face, I was not able to modify and stick to strict Keto. I will be revisiting this considering I have gained 10 lbs in the last week or so. I did quit smoking though, so I got that going for me. as far as the other weeks I was apprehensive (although im not sure why). I need to man up in the follow through department. I'm hoping that 31 days to masculinity can help with this. I have also finished 2 more books although 1 was not from the sidebar and quite frankly it was a waist of time. I have set up a goal that every week I will hit a new PR in one exercise. the four weeks that I did not actively participate are some of the areas I need the most work on. social life is an area that needs immediate attention. this was surprisingly difficult, which to me means I need to finish WISIFG, then reread that shit. might want to give NMMNG a reread as well. ok that's enough from me, push-up time.

Lifting - Successfully managed to stop wasting time during my routine. (Good)

Diet - Successfully managed to lower my portions and lost BF% because of it (Good)

Hygiene - Been using teeth whitening and noticed mild results. Trimming my facial hair better. Shaving my head every 2 weeks every time. (Good)

Style - Got several new jeans, some new dress shoes, new belts and trying harder to look better. Wife is shit testing me more than ever on it. Says I look like a dude from Jersey Shore. Bitch! (Good)

Game - Wife is responding worse to my game lately. Being a real stick in the mud harpy. Working on a plate sometimes. I'll go that way if I feel like it. Failed to get an N-close on a random. (Weak)

Social Life - Haven't been able to find a good activity to get out to. While I hang out with lots of friends, I need more to take me out of my comfort zone. I joined a group a while back and was initiated the other day. This will provide me with lots of social opportunity. Still need to find something else too. (Weak)

Overall - Sould have done better but liked the changes I've made. Need to keep on plugging and stop making excuses.

I missed this, and only saw you guys doing this upon my recent return from my reddit sabbatical. Will this be done again (annually?), or is there a link list to do this program on my own (or share with buddies to do it with them)?

Very excited to go through this... props to those who did it!

Tell us what you changed about yourself. What was most difficult? What surprised you most? What are you most pleased with? This is your chance to brag as well as own your failures.

For myself, I find that having a plan is 90% of the battle. Once I have the "rut" to settle into, things go more smoothly. Case in point: at the gym, if it is written down ahead of time, it happens; if not, it normally doesn't. Time after time.

I've done well with personal efforts throughout DoD, but multi-person coordinations (like meal planning and finances) have proven more difficult to solve. I have managed to bump my energy level significantly, and have completely cut out whining or recriminations to surprisingly good results.

So, I won some, I lost some, but I made progress (which was the point).

The wife has commented things like, "I'm a woman, make the decision for me," without a ghost of irony. I attribute this to not whining/holding frame. She's always thought of me as low-empathy, but she's coming around to accepting this as a virtue (and recognizing when I do show empathy, which is tactically useful).

Thank you u/SorcererKing for motivating me to get off the bench and start getting involved. This was a great incentive, and I used it as a way of forming positive habits that will last beyond the 60 days.

Exercise: I committed to exercising at least three times a week. Apart from sickness and some injury, I mostly did that. I'm doing the bodyweight exercises as it works well for me. I also pushed myself at times when I didn't want to exercise but did, and most of the times I've been exercising its been dark, cold, and I've been the only one on the park fitness equipment. I took that as a good sign. I've now formed that habit of getting out regularly to do the work needed. The results are showing (nice feeling to have a chest and shoulders again), and I feel stronger than ever.

Diet: Again, I improved. I tried starting to record food that I eat but it was just another task in my day, so I now try to consciously think about what I am going to eat next. Meal planning still needs improvement.

Style: I read some of last year's posts about hairstyles to suit different types, and finally got myself a decent cut. It looks great and according to responses I've got, took years off me. I'm making decisions to dress smarter and wear cologne when I'm in the office. This has been a big improvement for me, while I make sure that I'm wearing clean, tidy and pressed clothes (especially in the office or for meetings) as I did have a tendency to not care about hairstyles and look a bit scruffy. No more.

Game: Didn't try. It's a dread level above where I think I should be. There's been mild flirting with the wife, though. There are opportunities to practise out there, but I will give that some time.

Finances: Only marginally better. Thought I was doing OK, got some surprise bills, and realised that we are not in a strong financial position. This is going to take a lot more work.

Career: Poor. I have lost a bit of motivation of late. Unsure why that is, especially since I know there's a promotion available later this month.

Social Life: Good. Have taken up some opportunities to play music with other people and have met some nice guys and gals. The important part of this is that I have made sure that my wife understands that I have that time to go out and do what I want to do.

It has been a real month of improvement, also trying to meditate more. Reading the other comments has helped as well.
