How things change

Over the last four months, I’ve changed a few things. Breathing exercises, cold showers, physical exercise, weighted walks and a healthy diet. I’m leaner, fitter, and healthier: both mentally and physically. I feel good, though the diet I’m on is one I was kinda doing anyway; I just needed to make a few tweaks, so no major event in my life has made it easy to stick to.

I’ve also started reading about Stoic Philosophy, and again, I’ve kinda already been “Stoic”, so there is no significant change. But sitting down every day to read Meditations or a book by Ryan Holiday, I started to better understand the philosophy of stoicism.

Now some truth because I might as well use this blog as a journal; I have two others, and my breathing exercises, walks, and my cold showers have all suffered over the last few weeks. I kick myself every day about this, though an ankle injury stopped the weighted walks, and I intend to get back on that horse as soon as my ankle is good. I wanted to add it to be transparent. I’m the only one who can get back into these things; I’m the only one responsible. I mean, it takes an hour to do all three.

Also, regarding the diet I have been straying from, I make the excuse of “cheat day”, which is bullshit; I just wanted to eat that thing over there. And two tubes of Pringles on my way home from work, I’m on autopilot. I’m considering pizza right now. All of this, and I know it’ll take at least a week to get back into Keto.

My bad.
