A new year with old problems

2020 started with a bang but ended with a whisper. My New Year’s day was not very memorable: I feel like I lost my ways. I think the winter got me and made me slower, lazier, and hungrier. Perhaps the stress of not being able to go outside and do my regular activities were the cause of my predicament. I decided to take action and bought vitamin D along with a gym membership near my house. Hopefully, by March, I’ll have lost the Quarantine-15 (or Quarantine-6, if you like kilograms more than pounds) and will be back into shape.

Personal projects

I have written a few texts on exciting topics covering a little bit of Science, History, and cooking. I also got a good microphone and an extra lamp (a ring light) that might be quite helpful in jumpstarting my side project. I got a little bit disengaged due to Winter blues, but my routine will significantly improve from now on — with any luck.

Sugar cravings

As I write this text, I am fighting an extreme urge for sweets. I will do my level best not to trap myself again in the sugar craving cycle. Wish me luck.
