I set some goals for this year and to increase my likelihood of sticking to them, I set myself a plan of checking in every couple weeks.
My first checkin is a week late, but that’s ok, what matters is that I am on the path and things are pretty great.
Goals for year 2022:
- Physical activity: Longest gym streak of my life/highest % days spent in the gym/exercising
- Swedish: Longest Duolingo streak/highest % days spent learning
- App dev: Live dailydo app (web+potentially iOS/google play) ā must continue learning semi-daily
- Routines: Aim to make a plan for tomorrow every day
- Weight loss: 130kg achieved as quickly as possible (I was 165kg on the 31st of Dec 2021 when this goal was set).
How am I doing so far?
Physical activity:
Activity is good, consistent if we ignore the recovery period after my minor surgery. Still early days, but I’m feeling good.
Doing lots of cardio, core strengthening and a lot of back and upper body work, I think that’s all I need for now.
Swedish:
33 day streak so far, don’t always feel like doing it, but keep at it.
App dev:
Doing my best to keep up daily commits in api and app commits. Going great really. I feel the design is kinda crappy, but I’m enjoying the process.
Routines:
Stopped doing daily planning like 2 weeks ago, sticking to the things I need doing, just stopped using the todo list.
Weight loss:
A dear friend of mine wanted to try Plenny for 5 working days and I jumped on it with him. Lost 3kg, gained back 1 as soon as I touched normal food.
It worked miracles in so many ways tho Iām a new man.
I want to ride this wave to at least 130kg. Plenny during the week and then normal food on weekends sounds like a great plan, I hope I can stick to it.
Plenny makes me feel full, yet my stomach is light and cravings for food are gone.
Who would have thought that a stable balanced diet can be so good at balancing out my brain chemistry too. It’s almost as if they’re all part of the same system š
Summary check-in #1
Good start. Not perfect, but that’s ok, I’m on the right path, I’m proud of myself and I’m excited and passionate about what the future brings.
It’s still me, but something is happening, some new persona is emerging and I’m cautiously optimistic, I think I’m going to like this new me, not sure what the people that surround me will think of him, but I’m done with who I was.
