Weekly Improvement Thread - Nov 17th

Hello comrades and welcome to the third improvement megathread of November!

Two more weeks to go, plenty of time to kick some ass!

As usual, some discussion ideas:

Do you want to share something you've done in the previous week? Everything counts, nothing is too small.
Do you have any goals or plans for next week?
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?

Poster caption: Unite to achieve an even greater victory!

团结起来，争取更大的胜利!

Good luck with your goals!

  It was real good, paid to touch grass

I have managed to go a whole week without biting my nails, longest streak since my first kid was born. I'm not sure if this means I'm full of willpower or have lost all will even for biting my nails...
- Keep it up. I hopefully your consciously/unconsciously addressing all the things that make your nail bite.

Did some meditation, reading and running this week. Bought some new books.
What I learned this week: Amla is the the most antioxidant-packed uncommon spice. You can buy powdered amla in a health food store and add it to your oatmeal or smoothie. I started doing it this week. It's a super easy way to get a bunch of antioxidants.
- Might have to pick some up
- antioxidant in the morning doesn't sound like a bad move.

Been going to the gym three times a week for the past few months. Getting real close to my first big milestone: 5 reps of 75kg squats and 5 reps of 100kg deadlifts. Yesterday I managed 4 reps of 95kg deadlifts before failing. Gotta remember to eat more food, that's the hardest part...
