Thoughts

I woke up rather rested today. Adversity builds character, so they say. I have been struggling with weight loss as well. I am a tubby 86.1kg as of this morning, having fluctuated from 84 to 88 kg for most of this year. It was hard to not snack last night, and falling asleep has proven to be a much tougher ordeal than when I was younger. But I managed to do so with some help, had some sugar free Pepsi last night to try and stave off the rumbling of my tummy. I had to tune in to some of Netflix’s “Headspace Guide to Meditation”, and I promptly fell asleep without much trouble.

Today’s plans

meals

More of the same for today. Lunch is more of the usual, going to airfry some chicken breast that I am currently defrosting and cut up whatever vegetables we have to supplement that in as well.

In the remaining free time, I will be resuming work on the game concept I had in my mind for a while. Details for which I will start to detail here and give an appropriate tag as well as progress is made.

I will be out for the evening with a friend to hit the gym. He is a dear friend of mine and I wish to see him becoming the best version of himself. Hence, my endeavor to travel all the way out for an hour to meet him near his workplace. I know that my support will only encourage him further, and I wish for the same if I ever request of it.

short term goals

weight loss

Ideally I want to lose a bit more weight. At my peak in military boot camp, I was a lanky 68kg. I am not aiming to be lanky, but I at least want to lose this chub I gained over the past few years. I have heard that losing 1kg/month is healthy, so I aim to be 80kg by year end. Given my height, I feel that 75kg is a good base to be on; which I will set as my benchmark weight.

As mentioned in my previous entry, I had left my job. It has been a good month now and I am now well rested enough to dive straight back into the hustle. One that I will be devoting my heart into, something that I can be passionate about. It is a bit late into the year and Gamescom and Tokyo Games Show have concluded, but I aim to have something presentable for next year. I might run out of funds by then but it is all or nothing now.
