Ah, the weekend. When the grip of capitalism and obligation finally relinquishes its grip on humankind, we have the weekend. With these 48 hours of freedom, comes the opportunity to delve into a wide range of things one could not accomplish during the work week.
I hardly want to go over it, but these past few work weeks, I have simply not given my usual self to illustrating my ideas, wishes and dreams into 500 word pieces. There hasn't been a moment to spare!
So let's cover some things that took place this week.
Working On My Weight, Health & Happiness
Many try to dissuade working out as "extra effort" without a need, for various reasons. Some claim to feel "healthy enough". Others convince themselves that exercising hasn't been necessary up to a point, therefore, exercise now proves to be a waste. Their reasons be damned, I find it fun. I did enjoy running around as a kid, and very little changed since those days. The freedom in biking as fast you can down a clear lane, running hard and barefoot in the sand or dirt near a body of water- these thing have no equal. How often I hear from those older than me that I shouldn't "grow old" or how they ache and pain from their joints and bones. I wish that on no one, not even my worst enemy, because the liberty to perform feats with your body might rank among the best things in life. I'm enjoying my increased strength, when I'm not winded moving heavier objects. I enjoy my stamina to chase a soccer ball as far as I can kick it. Exercise has done it for me. Maybe my weight has nothing to do with it, but I feel a deep sense of accomplishment rising every day to do something and coming out afterwards having done it.
It's funny I heard this in a video game, but the following is as right as rain.
Fulfilment comes from completing tasks.
The decision to lose weight began as vanity, in an effort to reach a figure that would impress others. Little did I know, the choice would take me to different places, with different emotions than before. I focus on cuisine, the necessary tools and ingredients now. I cook for myself and my partner more than I have ever cooked in my life, to my great satisfaction. There are no "bad foods", just those that I want to make for myself to eat more and those that I want less. I have actually eliminated a pain I've felt since I took a fall during high school. It tweaked a smell region on my left shoulder blade, that's persisted for years. Calling it chronic would be understating it- the pain was almost intelligent, as it would only surface when I tried a full extension of my arms outward. It wasn't maladaptive, since I could carry on daily with it, but a focus on mobility and conditioning took care of it. I also successfully lost weight, which many might have something to say about. I only respond that it is not simple to set out to do something and accomplish it. It's tested my character. Above all, everything gained from my focus on health, I don't want to give up. It's improved my quality of life, I can say with pride and confidence.
But you didn't wait all this time for me to go on about my weight loss journey... Let's catch up on crypto.

Still Hustling, Still Loving It
I'm all over the place, but the foundations I've built with recurring tasks each day, honestly, habit formation to be succinct- they establish solid ground upon which I can build. I hope to accomplish the same, given so much time and effort put into my work. I'm confident I can effect change with my actions so I'll continue down the path I believe in. I hope you'll continue to follow the journey.
