Woah! Has it really been 5 months since my last post? I must of been super busy to even think about this WordPress blog. Well, its better late than never.
Looking back at my last post about New Year’s resolution, I see I’ve been keeping up with one of my goals – my fitness/health. At that time, I was 186lbs and I’m now down to 171lbs! So basically still going with the 1 pound a week plan that started late last year. I doubt I will lose more weight at this point as I start to gain more muscle. It was definitely a nice surprise to see that my pants/shorts of size 38 and 36 being super baggy. I had to go out and buy a whole new set for size 32! I haven’t been this weight and size since like grade 8 or 9, which seems like ages ago.
Now that we have some nice weather, I’ve started getting out to enjoy the sun. Started going for jogs, outdoor soccer season started 3 weeks ago, and got a new mountain bike. I used to bike all the time and after many years away from it (old bike broke and was tossed), it feels great to hit some new trails. When I do go to the gym, I’ve started a new power-lifting workout that my coworker suggested. So far its going great, but I can see it kicking my ass as it progresses every week in weights.
Fitness wise, I feel like I’m making great progress! On the other hand, my other resolution to learn piano hasn’t really gone anywhere. I feel bad about it, but at the same time I’m in no rush and glad I placed more focus on my fitness. I have started drawing again and taking an online course for it, so there’s the replacement for piano lessons at least. Plus I just enjoy sketching more and its something I used to do a lot.
Besides that, I’ve been keeping busy with friends and family. On my down time, I’ve been gaming a bunch. Stardew Valley, Rocket League, Hearthstone have been keeping me occupied. However, I got Zelda Breath of the Wild working on an emulator on my PC and it looks better than console graphics! So yes, I’ve been super hooked on that beautiful game.
And lastly, the dating scene, has been keeping me busy these last few months. After the holidays, things were picking up and I was going on regular dates. Some good and some bad. Some very bad! With being separated and reflecting back on everything, I definitely know what to look for and what to avoid.
After 8 months and many dates, I finally met someone back in April. Instant chemistry, great conversations, shared values and interests. I am really enjoying this new relationship and look forward to all the summer adventures we will share together. On the other side of it, my divorce is now fully paid and signed for so in a few weeks I will receive the final divorce order in the mail from the court. Can’t believe a year has already passed and I haven’t seen or heard from my ex. That was way easier than expected and soon I will be free!! LOL
Halfway through 2019 and everything is fantastic so far!
