Week 6 - Is The Rest Together?
Weight: 133.2
Mental State: Confused
Life: Busy as a bee
So I guess that streak of Monday updates came to an end quickly, huh?
It was inevitable.
To give you a sense of how my brain works, I currently am juggling full time work, freelancing for a world congress happening next year, starting a magazine with friends, creating a geek-oriented (mostly video games and comic books) website, looking into an etsy store for my design work and trying to build a home office.
All this while trying to be fiscally prudent and wipe out the remaining $13K in debt that I still have left.
I would be lying if sometimes it doesn’t feel like too much. Especially when I start to fall behind on my tasks and the pressure of multiple deadlines at once falls on my shoulders. It’s not easy. But when it’s working, it’s amazing. I like keeping busy. I like being goal oriented. I wish some of it would be a bit easier but life isn’t easy.
I know I mostly use this blog as a weight loss tracker, but getting it together is about so much more than just what I look like/feel like.
As a distraction, I love looking at real estate videos. Big homes with big patios, beautiful kitchens for beautiful families. I somehow have visualized this for myself. That somehow I’ll be able to afford these $1.5M homes. I mean, real estate in Toronto is fucked, but I also wouldn’t be able to afford a home in my current state even if it wasn’t.
There’s still a lot of work to be done there.
I do think the story of my financial mismanagement is one worth exploring in its own blog post so that will be as they says, “gossip for another day.”
As for what I think about the week ahead, it’s looking rough, to say the least. I’m not super planned out for the upcoming days ahead as I was last week but I’m hoping I might hit 130 kg before next Monday, which is an ambitious goal. I want to do yoga in the morning for the remaining days of this week (Th,F,Sa,Su) and I want to take a look at my finances to make sure I’m on track.
Also I have officially lost 10 kg since I started. Which is a lot! I mean, it’s also all the weight that I put on as the quarantine started so I’m basically back at square one, but square one is better than 10 kg over square one.
Hope you’re all doing well.
