Self Love

16kg lost, 4-5 sizes down, 7.5 - 20kg raise on strength training, 3.5 speed raise on walking, and beating my best record 2.7years ago on (endurance training) swimming session 6.5km in 2hrs 13mins, all in 4 months.

Not a bad result, but I'm actually more proud of myself for being able to make up my mind, showing up, strengthening my discipline, and doing my best through all of the ups and downs, regardless of the results. It almost feels like creating and shaping a whole different person, a better and bulletproof one I hope (physically and mentally).

Some people have told me of how different I look like now. However, since I see myself everyday, I didn't really realize it until I took this photo. And I only really feel the excitement when I tried my old clothes that didn't even fit me years ago, and now all of them are loosen up, lol. The (little bit) sad part is; I have to let go so many of my fave clothes that are too big for me, now.

Posting this here not to brag, and not even to inspire anyone. It was for the same reason as when I posted my pic while I was hospitalized for a month; to cement my commitment of things I promised myself to do. Keeping my accountability and integrity high.

Ending 2022 in high spirit and setting this as my new normal. I am still very far from my goal, but I know it's all about my mindset, my effort, and time.

I'll be there.

I'm burning the bridges to all of the things (and people) that don't deserve me, my energy, and my time.

Not gonna look back, will never go back.🖤

It's true that once we've tapped into our own strength and taste our independence, there is nothing that actually could stop us.

A Perfectly Happy Artist

-When Beatrix Potter was a little girl, imagining stories about rabbits that wear smart jackets, she was a lonely child who needed to concoct some company. And when Monet paint his impressionistic water lilies, he was a man deeply dissatisfied with traditional views of nature. The inventions of writers and artists are forged through dissatisfaction. That discrepancy between the world we walk through and the world inside of us encourages some to try to build a bridge (in the shape of a book about talking bunnies or an impressionistic painting). A perfectly happy artist would be a failure.- "I disagree on the part of the perfectly happy artist, tho." "Oh why?" "It just doesn't exist so it won't ever fail." --------- - Aim for a better tomorrow through healthy lifestyle, diverse insights, creative arts, and minimalist living. -  ViliaCiputra.com Thank you for supporting  my intention  through owning  my artworks , reading  my writings , and following ...

Freedom

Freedom is never cheap, but just like everything else in the world; there is always a price to pay to have it. The question is never about "How much?". Instead, it is always a matter of "Are you willing to pay the price for it?" --------- - Aim for a better tomorrow through healthy lifestyle, diverse insights, creative arts, and minimalist living. -  ViliaCiputra.com Thank you for supporting  my intention  through owning  my artworks , reading  my writings , and following  my Instagram .

Bento Box

So, the last two weeks was actually a test and trial period for me. I've eliminated fried food almost half year, but intrigued to know whether there is a difference between fried food at home VS fried food at good restaurant chain VS fried food at street hawkers, on my cholesterol level. The result on me was; yes there is a HUGE difference between them. My cholesterol level was barely affected when I do pan fry (not deep fry) at home with olive oil (146/200) VS raised a little when I ate fried food at a good restaurant chain (165/200) VS a huge spike when I ate fried food at street hawkers (211/200). So, clearly the oil that we use, how many times it was being used, and how we cook, matters. I also got insights on my uric acid level. While my cholesterol level wasn't affected much, my uric acid level is a completely different story. My uric acid raised almost 0.5 - 0.8 points every time I dine out, even when I didn't eat red meat/ high purine food. My guess was; either the ...
