Stage 5, Day 12,
Yesterday was interesting, given how it contrasts to today.
I worked a half-day and then had to drive down to a metropolitan city.
The half-day was productive and normal. I then drove down, and I was noticing a bald patch in my hair.
Then, it that city, I was killing some time and spent too much at the mall (lol). I was not feeling myself.
Met my cousin and her bf, went out, saw a concert. I met this cute redhead there.
I moshed for a solid 45 minutes; it was great. I felt really nice.
Woke up this morning at my cousin's apartment and we chatted about programming for a possible project I will give myself. I was feeling really clear-headed.
I then breezed through an entire book and scanned the important parts in 1.75 hours; I'll admit that it's only 85 pages long.
Then, I drove back.
The lesson? I think that my brain knew that I was going to be moshing, so it brought up all sorts of toxic shit inside of me. Once I moshed and moved that much, I think that I moved a lot of that garbage out of me. I had some excellent poos after the fact lol.
Anyways, I feel great now. Very optimistic and looking forward to finishing my book. I have to finishing read four more books before I'll consider my book list complete.
Stage 6, Day 1,
I didn't miss the number of days for loops this time around.
Work is going okay.
Feeling not 100%; might be from red-lining a little bit. I've done very little relaxation in the past month, though last weekend was good. I finished reading 2 of the 4 books remaining.
Unfortunately, my laptop had been crashing so much that I had to take it in on Sunday. I just got it back today. I'll have to get all of my notes scanned, as well as read the remaining two books. If I go nuts, I MIGHT be able to finish all of it by Monday night. That would be my updated deadline of May 14th.
Stage 6, Day 8,
I think that I'm having an impact on some of the older women at work; some are employees, others are the customers; one of them asked if I've ever modeled, and stated that I have a 'good face'. lol
Drudged through 5 pages of Draft #2; I put in a few good hours of work. This wasn't from slacking; it came from close attention. I had to translate the wordy rough draft to a distilled version of itself that transitions more elegantly. That brings me to page 51.
I've started an Excel tracking file to track my page number; I haven't been tracking, which might be where I've slowed down.
Cycle 6, Day 12,
I'm not really finding what I'm looking for with this subliminal.
It's been 88 days since I started, and it hasn't been supporting me and my goals. That would be tolerable if it produced any of the tangible results it promises; I have no real indication that it works is intended. No real motivation, interest, or incentive regarding women; very neutral.
There are several subliminals which produce results quickly; for me this subliminal is not one of them.
I'm probably going to finish this A cycle and another B cycle, and then start looking at the next subliminal.
I'm at page 93 of 238 for my second draft (research pass & sentence/paragraph structure clarification).
Cycle 6, Day 15,
I'm at page 111 for my second draft. It's slow and steady, but it's coming along.
45.9% complete.
I'll have to decide pretty soon if I'm going to stop using DMSI after this loop.
I've been using 2 loops instead of 1, as per Shannon's permission.

You can use more than 2 loops now.
Cycle 6, Day 16,
Ok. I think I'll be using one last round of DMSI side B for 14 days.
Will probably ramp up the number of loops from my current 2 to 4 or above.
If I don't see any promising external results, then I'm cutting loose and trying MHS 5.5G.
Some inner feelings started to make me believe that there's something to it, but it might have been a fleeting thing.
Page 118/241 in Draft #2; 48.9%. Would like 12+ pages tomorrow, which is 5%.
Cycle 6, Day 17,
I've completed 17 more pages; I beat my page goal by 5. Added 7% to my draft.
I'm now at page 135/240 in Draft #2 (56.3%). Wanna hit 12-15 pages tomorrow, making it 62%.
Cycle 7, Day 1,
Only managed to play one full loop today. In fact, I did waste a fair bit of time today, but it's okay because somebody from out of town visited. I slept in until 2 PM today.
I've gone through 14 pages today; this makes 149/241 pages (about 61.8%).
I'm at the same place as I would have been on June 13 last year (and so, I'm 16 days ahead).
Cycle 7, Day 2
Only played one full loop today too. I'll do more starting tomorrow.
Went to the chiropractor; feels good. She says that it can help bring my singing voice back and that my current hangups are in the upper-back/neck area.
With all my distractions, I've written 8 pages for Draft #2; this makes 157/243 pages, which is 64.3%. Doing really well. I did 64 pages this week, so about 9 pages a day. If I keep this pace up, I can get the final 86 pages reviewed in 9-10 days. However, there is a substantial chunk (probably 10 pages) that is just an outline. On the other hand, there is a substantial portion of a chapter that I haven't written.
I'm very satisfied with the progress, though I wish I had more time each day.
