Day 17
Current life soundtrack song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aLFmLmHyTQ
A few observations from the past few days. I'm starting to feel more aggressive. I can only attribute this to an increase in testosterone. I also look physically stronger, muscular, and more imposing than I had previously.
My appetite has also increased significantly, and I eat a lot more these days. I am still on an intermittent fast of 16/8. Because of this I haven't seen much of an increase in my weight. Ironically enough, I have dropped about 16 pounds since starting DMSI V2.4 about 7 weeks ago. Maybe more, maybe 2 months now. I am the lowest I have weighed in about 7 years.
And I intend to drop down another 19 pounds over the next several months. I am eating carbs and this past week I went a little nuts with the desserts, but, overall, I've been OK.
Had an interesting experience last Thursday night when I went to a bar I often frequent. A different bartender was there that night, a girl I like, but not the usual girl I see. Anyway, we got into talking and out of the blue she mentioned how she knew she wasn't the other girl that I talk to, and that's who I probably rolled in that evening hoping to catch. She went through this whole justification thing. I told her the only reason why I come into the bar is to have a beer. At the end of the night we had shots together on her.
Friday I take one of the guys on my team and troop to find this place that has amazing doughnuts, a place called doughnut plant. If ever in NYC, find this place and get the tres leches. It's a 4 dollar doughnut, ridiculously priced even for NYC standards, but goddamn if it wasn't one of the best things I had ever tasted in my life. Anyway, we ended up ordering 6 doughnuts but they only counted 5. So they gave us one of them for free.
Today I went into a cafe and ordered a coffee and got it automagically upgraded to supersize. I was getting experiences like this a lot with DMSI V2.3. Never really got it with 2.4, except maybe once at a bar. But just that once. Now, it's happened a few times this past week. Fun stuff!
In terms of looks, women are slowly starting to warm up to me again in the past few days. Prior to that, it's like I was ghosted for an entire week. This has led me to want to experiment a bit on how I use DMSI. After I hit my 21 days, I am going to take Friday's and Saturday's off from the sub. I've read a lot of journals where people have posted about the effects of what happened after they stopped using the sub. I think that's key and the best way to have the sub work is to take a couple of days off to actually let the brain process the programming, and then start it again. I'm going to start using the sub just like I would a workout routine. I couldn't exercise 7 days a week for weeks on end; I'd never give my muscles time to recover or build and I'd just burn out.
I feel this sub needs a similar approach. I need some time to let the programming set in and process and then start the sub again to continue to build. I'm waiting for 21 days because I've read and have been told several times that that's how long it takes for a habit to form. The 21 days could be an inaccurate statement that has some how become the standard on how people believe habits are formed, but, all the same, I decided on doing this break thing after I hit 3 weeks, so that's how I'm going to do it. The timing also coincides because I actually hit day 21 Friday morning. So, come Friday evening, I'll be off the sub that night and Saturday night, and back on on Sunday.
I have read the DMSI sales page and there was a suggested usage of time for this sub being designed to run for 90 day increments. Whether with this version of DMSI or 3.0, I think I'd like to give the sub a good run for 90 days, just to see who I become afterwards.
My feelings about 2.5 haven't changed at all in the last 2 and a half weeks, in that I still love this sub and how it makes me feel. I do have some resistance every now and again, and I also had an urge to run 2.4. However, I ran 2.4 for 36 days and I am not ready to go back to it until I have given 2.5 a good run over a month at least. After that I may trade off on a weekly basis between 2.4 and 2.5. Of course by that time, It's very possible that 3.0 will be released and I will be able to trade off between the clearing and non-clearing versions of that sub.
I would prefer that over going back to 2.4, specifically because of the differences in the technology between 2.5 and 2.4. I'd rather work on a version that is built on the same technology platforms and switch between those. We'll see what happens.
Right now it's just one DMSI day at a time...
