Well, to achieve more this month, I really need to work harder.

However, I finished an essay and I am trying to continue studying.
Need to put more effort into eating less and willpower connected to it (and, well, everything else).

Primary goals for the rest of May: diet! study! plus bowling and hopefully some walks.
And try to be more positive and not let things get me down.

Last year I lost around 8 kg, but gained some weight back during the winter.

This year I lost around 6-7 kg so far, and I feel so much better about myself already… However I’m still over 60 kg, and want to go under it. Plus, I need to exercise since you can’t lose all just by diet.

Also, I’ve really fixed my food input (so to call it) since I definitely eat much less food in every meal now.

I have only 1 problem – I’m addicted to sweets and I just can’t help it!! (at the moment, this is my biggest problem food-vise)
So, I’m one of those people that will spend their life on diets, but I’ve come to peace with it.

All in all – progress is going very well, but some fixing is still needed (call it willpower to stop myself from eating sweets). :)

(PS this picture is just perfect for today – books and a hedgehog)

I’ve written (in my opinion) an excellent essay about art depicting life and issues of American migratory workers and small farmers is the 1930s.

I feel quite proud of it, and I loved every minute spent on writing!

I really should write more…

9. May

• watching Raising Hope
• no headache!!! :O

Lately I’ve been feeling pretty down and nervous, on many existential accounts. So, I haven’t really worked much on this Bootcamp.

I’ve hardly studied at all (and exams are in less then a month).
Mental & physical fitness had not been practiced at all.
Nothing creative either.

Plus, I’ve been having headaches every goddamn day for more than a week now. And that (together with feeling depressed) didn’t really help me focus on my goals.

Hope at least some part of the May will be successful (there’s still much to go).

Day 165
5. May

Easter breakfast and lunch with my family.
Great evening with my fiancee.

Happy Easter to all who celebrated it yesterday!
