I've lost count of the number of days I've been staying in. I guess it's around four weeks or so. Except for my daily walks, which I take really early in the morning and later in the evening when fewer people are out, I've been staying in (groceries are included in my walking times). I'd… Continue reading What Have You Noticed?

What Am I Doing This For?
Why am I up at 5am three times a week to go to the gym? Why do I stop myself from ordering take out when it would be the easiest thing to do? Why do I automate a chunk of my paycheque to go into savings every month? Why have I disabled almost all social… Continue reading What Am I Doing This For?

All my life I have struggled with my body image and weight. Growing up I was a hefty kid (not fat, but certainly big) and carried that through to my adult years. At least when I was young I played multiple sports and was active enough to feel healthy. As I went through my twenties… Continue reading Asking for Help is a Good Thing
Putting a Proper Timeline on Expectations
We have well and truly managed to screw ourselves over in the age of convenience. Don't get me wrong, things are better than ever for many people, and I'm not advocating a return to days of serfdom and lighting from lanterns filled with animal fat, but we have to understand that there are consequences to… Continue reading Putting a Proper Timeline on Expectations
