Off the top, excellent poster choice. I think if you’re trying to self-improve you can’t have hate in your heart. Not hate for yourself, nor hate for yourself. I dig it.
This has been a good week. Good workouts, good readings, good programming. I also opened up my sketch book and drew a stick figure and landscape to plot out how I want to “dream game” to look. It looks bad and terrible but it looks better than nothing. Something is always better than nothing.
I also did a volunteer session at local church doing a meals for the community. Just helped setup tables, and stuff. I talked to people, good souls the bunch of them.
I’m happy with how last week went and I hope to roll that into next week.
Been staying consistent and crushing my goals. Attended a little hand balancing workshop at a yoga studio, which checked boxes for both fitness and socializing more, the latter being way more challenging for me. I’m sticking to my plant based diet very easily, it is a natural fit for me and I’ve been enjoying it immensely and seeing benefits. Also crow pose is dope.
I went to the gym today since like a month and an half. I was feeling sick towards the end, but overall happy that I did it. Just need to get the routine on again and get it in sync with SO.
Target :
I’ll throw that boule into the sea.
Back on the self improvement wagon after 2 chaotic weeks
- partner likely having surgery soon so that’s prop 1, the one goal that supersedes all goals is honor her needs right now: outcome: she comes first
- corporate job got me access to high quality training videos. One certification per month. outcome: one CNCF certification
- corporate job suddenly became extremely demanding after already being very demanding. I’m going to let the product manager absorb this hit (I like the guy but this is more his problem than mine and I’m already carry 5x my load): outcome: (per week 30 work hours, 10 training hours, 10 personal project hours && 1 certification
- project get jacked while you still can outcome: 100 pushups tomorrow
So far my February is going better than January. I’m trying to be consistent with meditation. I went to the cinema to touch some grass, watched the Dylan biopic, I liked it.
Pinned, best of luck.
Got my blood work back from doctor, cholesterol a bit high but I don’t have diabetes so that’s nice. Also in the two week since I managed to lose 3 pounds so cool too, still one thing I got to look out for is my vitamin D levels are low. Need to get some sunlight when I can so prob gonna go on some jogs in the morning if I can help it.
Ngl been pretty depressed but at least a bit of effort is paying off for my health
