My weight loss journey: birthdays

16 Jun 2024 2 minute read 0 comments Namae

I don't know if I've mentioned this before but I have a largish family at a little over 40 members. The thing is that our birthdays tend to get grouped. For example, in the three weeks between the end of May and mid June, there are 6 birthdays in a r...

I once heard that, accounting from the dawn of times, humanity has left registry of around 10000(ish) deities. A week ago I was willing to believe that at te very least 51% were taking a pee on me. Most likely way more than that. Today, I'm willing t...

Content warning: I'll mention death in this post. Two weeks ago I went to visit the orchard I mentioned in my last post. I wanted to write about it last week but I ended not writing anything at all. My grandfather passed away more than five years ago...

My weight loss journey: spoiled food

28 Apr 2024 3 minute read 0 comments Namae

Last week I moved out of my rental. While emptying the pantry we found one of those shameful, sad hamburger buns. You know the type: you have 3 hamburgers and 4 buns, so one of those gets forgotten and shoved to the depths of your pantry, getting all...

I just watched a documentary titled Better brain health: we are what we eat. I know I watched it a couple of summers ago because my cable provider has it on demand every now and then. I remembered some of the things stated in the film as they made an...

My weight loss journey: going home

Two weeks ago we woke up at 2:30(am) in order to be ready to get in the car with my dog at 3:30. Then we drove six and a half hours to the coast where we were to take the boat. We arrived on time, even early but getting on the boat was a bit stressfu...

I hand't thought about milestones until I weighed myself yesterday. I also hadn't planned on writing about this today, but it's shorter and more food related than my other options so there's that.  Last week I weighed the same as the week before. Yes...

My weight loss journey: being brave

When I was 14 I had a 2 years old cousin. I've never been a kids person. Especially babies. I don't think I ever interacted a lot with her when she was little. I couldn't have picked her among other toddlers, honestly. We both studied at the same sch...

My weight loss journey: weekly update

This week I gained 0,4kg and it pleases me greatly. Had I kept loosing weight while eating like a raccoon in a dumpster I'd have gone bonkers. There's never as little incentive to do things the right way as when you do whatever and can still accompli...

My weight loss journey: caloric nonsense

I lost 0,5kg this week. That is a little over 1lb. The more I think about it, the more irrationally angry it makes me. I will elaborated by making a somewhat detailed list of my food intake for the last week: 3 bags of microwave popcorn. 150gr of Ma...
