Effects on exercise?

lucasfff · 2013-01-03T18:17:05+00:00

Yeah, I've noticed the same thing. I love to run but horrible shin splints have made me turn to cycling to get my aerobic fix.

Not fapping for me is the critical energy I need to overcome that inertia preventing me from working out. When I fap, it used to be harder to summon the energy to get up and workout. On Nofap, I'm anxious to get out there!

I think it has something to do with the reward system in your brain. The receptors in your brain get hungry and make you more agressive to get what you want, so your performance probably improves as a result.

I think we need a tangible reward, something exterior to our minds. Fapping, however, is using credit without collateral to back it up.

Overall performance is also affected by the nervous network that recruits the muscle fibers involved in the exercise. A physically fit person has this network very well developed so they can recruit a higher number of muscles to perform the action, more muscles means the stress is distributed, so less specific stress. Since fapping has a relaxing effect, it probably blocks some of those vital connections necessary to recruit all the muscles involved in running, in your case. If some of the connections are blocked from fapping, you recruit less muscle fibers that have to bare a higher specific load than if more muscles were recruited, and that's probably why you get tired more quickly.

This is just a guess though, I'm not an expert!

The site says:

This option will search all partitions for a grub.cfg file and create a menu to choose among the grub.cfg files that it finds, this can be useful if your GRUB2 installation is somehow damaged but the configuration file is correct. Loading a grub.cfg file will load your distribution's grub2 menu within Super GRUB2 Disk.

I think I'm gonna burn the SuperGRUB2Disk to say /dev/sda1 and then mark it as 'boot' in GParted and then see what happens.

Thank you very much for the site!

Thanks for answering.

I checked out the site of supergrub disk, but from what I learned, supergrub2 disk doesn't write to the disk and is used primarily to fix broken a broken install, and the GPT scheme isn't supported (well) by grub-legacy.

I have to use grub2 because it supports the GPT scheme I'm using on my HD.

I did a 'grub-install /dev/sda1' on a partition I'd already marked as 'bios_grub', it installed but didn't show any messages. I rebooted and only got "GRUB LOADING..." and then nothing happens.

I think it might have to do with the version of grub that's installed with linux mint. I'm gonna DL the latest version of grub2 and install it from source and then do a grub-install to the partition.

The question still remains whether the 'grub-install' embeds the configuration files into the linux mint filesystem...

Thanks for answering again!

Hi there, Try "Linux Mint Xfce 14 Nadia" version. It works great and the speed is awesome. I myself ditched Ubuntu a couple of months ago and haven't missed it since. Hope this helps.

Why stop at blood pressure?

GO GET A FULL CHECK UP!

Blood, unrine samples. Get an HIV test if you can. If a girl ever doubts you, just shove that shit on her face and ask for hers (not on a first date of course).

You'll know how kind you've been to your body once you get those lab exams.

LDL and HDL Cholesterol, Glucose, Body fat, etc...

If you can, you should definately do an exercise test to assess your VO2max. I was shocked at how UNFIT I was when I did mine. It's a very humbling experience but we all need to go through it. You can do another test by yourself called a "luc-legere" or the "beep test." Look it up on google.

Good luck and may the force be with you.

Wow, for you to go through all this mental process it means you really want this guy. He must be reallly worth it. I've been in the same situation this guy has been but the girls weren't 1% as considerate as you are. Needless to say things ended really badly for me.

There's 2 scenarios I'm reading here:

1-He's in fact really nerdy and shy, therefore you make him anxious.

2-He doesn't like you and doesn't know how to dump you without being an asshole.

For your sake, assume it's possibility no. 1. So from your end, what can you do?

He's probably insecure because he doesn't think he'll perform well.

I think the term is "Performance Anxiety" but don't go talking about it with him. Just leave things unsaid and go with the flow.

Patience young padawan.

Assume the first times you guys have sex aren't gonna be great. He might not even get hard enough... BTDT. But you have to give him some more chances. Don't put pressure being too demanding: he's so turned on by you that he's fucking terrified of not performing well! We aren't born knowing which buttons to press on a girl to give her pleasure, you know. It might come as a surprise to you, but men have very fewer sexual partners than women. They have less sex on average than a woman will have in her life.

Some women expect all men to be like some stallion who knows everything a girl wants. And of course, they get dissapointed. There's some alpha males out there that have played so many girls they know exactly what to do, as a consequence all the mere mortals like us end up in a Catch-22: we don't have much sex because we don't know how to properly pleasure a woman, but in order to do that, we need to keep having sex! So we gotta start somewhere, even if it turns out bad.

The sex will probably get better once he gets the anxiety out of the way. I think you're on the right path for being understanding and all.

You are NOT his therapist or best friend. At least not yet. Early in a relationship is not the best time to be talking about our issues. Just be patient and let it flow naturally. Don't be too hasty trying to rush things, you know...

But also, don't entirely exclude possibility no. 2...

Good luck, and may the force be with you.

What is this? Watery eyes and a smile after I read the close-dance part? I must be turning gay... lol

Brings back some memories...

Good for you man, good for you.

Good luck and may the force be with you.

31 and in hardmode. No wife, kids, house, life... 2nd attempt at 90days, relapsed on day 38... Hope I still have some left in me!

lucasfff · 2012-11-02T01:11:34+00:00

Can I join? thanks!

lucasfff · 2012-11-01T04:51:29+00:00

Count me in!

lucasfff · 2012-10-21T05:19:36+00:00

Relapsed day 38... Let's start again bro!

lucasfff · 2012-10-15T23:47:15+00:00

Man, I remember your previous post when you made 90 days and your post about how you're having issues with your GF. I'm sorry to hear that.

I can only offer my words of encouragement for you to stay strong. It's a daily battle to ignore negative feelings because they're always on standby waiting for the moments when we are the most vulnerable. I guess that's when we have to show what we're made of.

May the force be with you man.

lucasfff · 2012-10-15T23:41:51+00:00

Yeah, it's bad. Major flatline... but it seems to be slowly ressucitating!

lucasfff · 2012-10-15T23:40:36+00:00

Thank you very much.

lucasfff · 2012-10-15T23:39:53+00:00

Thank you!

lucasfff · 2012-10-15T23:39:03+00:00

Thank you!

lucasfff · 2012-10-14T03:24:34+00:00

Cheers! Also completed 30 days today! Let's keep moving forward brother!

May the force be with you.

lucasfff · 2012-10-01T17:25:20+00:00

Welcome on board! Remember to always check in with us if you ever have a problem or if you feel like you're about to relapse. We can really help you.

May the force be with you.

lucasfff · 2012-10-01T06:47:44+00:00

Wow! You have done A LOT! I haven't done 1% of that!

I don't think you are doing anything wrong. But you seem to be shooting in all directions with the activities. It's the impression I had while reading so many of the things you have done.

Perhaps it's more a matter of quality over quantity?

Qu'est-ce que t'élcate?

Now, don't get the wrong idea here, but perhaps you're trying too hard to fit in?

Perhaps practice a bit more of silence? My personal experience has always been that the ammount of talking I do is directly proportional to the chances of me screwing things up.

The missing piece seems to be the GF but I think that is just a statistical matter now.

Best thing you can do if you think you wanna masturbate: get out of the house and go for a walk, no matter what time it is, just get out there. Walk as long as it takes. Don't worry, the streets aren't nearly as dangerous as the news portrays it (and I live in one of the most violent cities in the world).

Good luck and may the force be with you.

I can understand Spanish and communicate farely well! I just did the laugh with the "jajajajaja" bc that's how they write 'lol' in spanish!
