What A Difference A Year Could Make

I used to think a year means nothing. I was skeptical of how much could I change or grow in a year. Now, even a month, matters a lot. The pictures show more.

Pic 1 was me at my highest bodyweight at Oct 2015 VS me now April 2023. But let's look at a closer gap time.

Pic 2 was me last year May 2022 VS me last month March 2023 (10 months gap)

Pic 3 was me last month March 2023 VS me now April 2023 (1 month gap)

Pic 4 was me last year May 2022 VS me now April 2023 (11 months gap - less than a year)

My weight doesn't change much from last month, but my body's proportion and size does change quite a bit. Some clothes that fit perfectly last month, started to loosen up a bit here and there.

Now, even a week matters a lot, cause I stabilized my cholesterol, uric acid, and glucose level in less than a week. What I eat and what I do daily, matter a lot.

I am not posting this here to brag, or to boast, or to be congratulated, and not even to encourage or inspire (but yes that would be a nice bonus, if I could help you to feel the needs to get healthier and live happier).

This is a self reminder for myself, to never take time, life, and anything for granted, ever again. Mastery is earned. Discipline is earned. Everything great in life is earned.

And yes, with so much weight loss naturally (only with maintaining food and exercises, no meds etc) in a pretty short time, I do have loose-skin problem, too. But that's fine, my focus is still on my health side, the rest I could handle next.

I am still far from my goal, but as always,

I'll be there. 💜

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?"

A Day Without Mobile Phone

I purposely left all of my mobiles and gadgets home yesterday, and went to the mall with Mr.Odd with just two books that I wanna finished. It was an interesting experiment. First, I totally forgot about Peduli Lindungi app that we need to enter any place here hahaha 😂. Luckily the guard was nice enough and let us in after we explain about the situation and showed Mr.Odd's certificates and told him that I had mine at the same time as his. This also made us learn that we actually can link each other's vaccines certificate on the app lol. Well, we do keep each other's now just to be safe for next time. Secondly, it was so freeing. I have been putting off my mobile oftenly lately on working and reading hours, which I found to boost my productivity and focus a lot. Yet to really leave it at home and not having its' presence was a totally different feeling. I didn't feel the need to check anything, I give full attention to whatever around me and to everyone in front of m...

25kg Lost

Finally. I've been working hard and waiting to see this number pop ups for few weeks. Just like how swimming 20 first laps are piece of cake, and finishing the 60-70 laps feels like forever, I feel the same here. The leaner I am, the harder works and efforts that I have to put for results to be achieved, especially on weight. It is not even enough to just work hard these days. I really have to do things smarter; paying attention on my sleep, macros, tricking my metabolism, IF, carbo-protein fasting, etc Size went down pretty stable (that's probably why most health coach told us to rely on size more than weight), but still weight is one of the numbers that I wanna change. Size, visceral fat, muscle mass, and weight numbers to be exact. My visceral fat has been going down 4 points, yet I still have to go lower 2 points more to be at normal level. I am nowhere near my goal, still have a long way to go, and I know it will only get harder. But, I'll be there. 🖤 If you are on th...
