- health / weight loss
- inbody scan:
- took the inbody test on 07/31/21 with curisu. really helpful. i now know that i have more muscle than average in my arms / core, but my legs could be stronger. i also know that i have ~8 lbs of body fat to lose to get to a more healthy range. it's really nice to know!
- goal: gain muscle! (and lose body fat)
- increase skeletal muscle w/ consistent, progressive strength training
- build my own consistent good nutrition
- get good carbs, lots of fiber (veggies), moderate protein, and healthy fats (seeds, omega 3s)
- continue to walk everyday, workout 5x week, & (slow) run 1x week
- nutrition / food
- i can afford frozen blueberries @ aldi! $2.79 for micronutrients!
- going to buy a multivitamin soon
- really interested in making overnight oats
- no alcohol this month. we just have had non-alocoholic beers lately.
- EPIC I challenge:
- thoughts: day one (legs are like noodles, i wonder if my leg muscles will grow from the squats, pulses, lunges...).
- 8/16 update: starting up again after a week recovering from digestion issues.
- bowel movements:
- i want to be more regular
- eating more bulgar / barley / fruits / veggies.
- 8/4 update: actually, not drinking coffee is helping with my regularity. i wake up and go right away when i only drink green tea.
- 8/9 update: been battling stomach or bacteria virus the past 4 days. diarrhea issues. not sure what caused it, but now want to talk to the doctor.
- 8/16 update: finally a normal stool this morning! taking probiotics daily now.
- highlights:
- 8/5: dad's birthday: free cake at bj's (w/ coupon)
- 8/14: visited andrew, ben, kuo & naomi!
- 8/14ish: really into lumines (video game) right now!
- 8/20 ish: really into reading articles (news, personal finance, movie tropes) lately. with that, though, my phone usage has increased.
- 8/25: i wonder if i'm too easily distracted. i can't focus on anything and keep wanting to look at my phone or some new website to be 'interested' by something.
- 8/26: i feel really agitated about retiring early. i want to FI faster. i read @apurplelife (blog and twitter) and the fire subreddits in my spare time. my desire for leggings or other frivolous purchases is low when i'm going through these phases.
- 8/28: interested in writing in a journal more often. also studying japanese and korean more consistently.
- media
- movies:
- harry potter and the goblet of fire - cedric's death felt more brushed over at the end than i remember... and it's more campy than i remember. hermione is overacting a lot.
