I started a new chapter in my life today. New job, new city, new country! It's all very exciting. I'm also trying to re-establish some new old habits that have previously helped me manage my health and well-being - we'll see how that goes.

3 1/2 years.
I have gained so much weight over the last year and I feel horrible.
However, there seems to be a small silver lining at least since because of my BMI I've been entered onto the waitlist for a Covid vaccine in my federal state - hoooraaay ...
Currently reorganising my closet by clothes that fit now versus those which used to fit but are too small now. Maybe that'll help to motivate me.
Done.
Don't know whether to be motivated or slightly depressed.

30 Things to Love About Exercise (None of Which Have Anything to Do with Your Weight, Your Size, or What You Look Like)
I got this from the book called “ The Unapologetic Fat Girl’s Guide to Exercise and Other Incendiary Acts” by Hanne Blank. I found it both enlightning and motivational, so I decidd to share :)
1. Working out is an immune-system booster, which is great since no one actually enjoys being a mobile snot fountain.
2. Exercise builds ferociously sturdy little old ladies (and men): it’s fantastic for your bones, reduces the risk of Alzheimer’s, and improves balance and coordination.
3. Exercise reduces symptoms of both depression and anxiety. Organic, legal DIY mellowness is a pretty sweet side effect.
4. Working out helps regulate your blood pressure, reducing the effects of things like traffic jams and not being allowed to strangle that one coworker who really, really needs it.
5. Exercising makes you smarter: research shows that exercise incorporating complex movement, especially, makes people learn better and faster.
6. Working out hath charms to soothe the savage metabolic system, encouraging insulin sensitivity and making diabetes management a little easier.
7. Regular exercise tends to generate major mojo. And by mojo, I mean increased sex drive and sexual responsivity. Yeah, baby.
8. If you suffer from insomnia, exercise helps, and not just because it tires you out; it also helps your body regulate its own rhythms.
9. Workouts boost levels of neurochemicals like dopamine and serotonin, which is like getting a biochemical massage in terms of counteracting stress.
10. You’ll be able to sing louder and dive deeper with your improved lung capacity.
11. Your joints get stronger and less prone to injuries and diseases, including tricky ones like repetitive stress injuries and arthritis.
12. It enables you to satisfy those urges to reenact dance numbers from Broadway musicals. So what if you’re in the grocery store?
13. Will you be able to snatch a speeding bullet out of the air? Maybe not, but working out does improve people’s reaction time.
14. Endorphins—mmmmm, sweet, sweet endorphins: the “runner’s high” isn’t just for runners, ya know.
15. Outrunning the zombies.
16. It makes you strong. You never know when you’ll need to be that person who can carry the suitcase full of gold bars through the airport without anyone being able to tell that it’s so heavy.
17. Your body and your brain get superbly and thoroughly oxygenated, which tends to make you feel peppy and full of mischief.
18. Most of us like to think we’re flexible people who can roll with the punches. Exercising makes it more likely that it’ll literally be true, not just figuratively.
19. If, God forbid, you should get sick, being a regular exerciser can help reduce the length and severity of your illness. It has even been shown to reduce cancer mortality for some kinds of cancer.
20. Exercise can help pregnancy and labor go a lot more smoothly. Afterward, it helps you keep up with the kid.
21. Probiotics and antacids have their place, but if you want to give your digestive system the best possible advantage, there’s nothing like fiber, water, and exercise.
22. Physical competence—just knowing you can count on your body to do stuff effectively and without trouble—is pretty damn nice.
23. It makes your heart happy and efficient to the point that your resting heart rate may get lower.
24. Four words: Exercise-induced mitochondrial biogenesis— exercising can increase the number of mitochondria in your muscle cells, which is just completely geeky cool.
25. Stamina: “Another ten rounds? Sure,” you say. “Bring it … if you can.”
26. You’re much less likely to fall and much more likely to be able to get right back up and brush yourself off if you do.
27. It’s kind of nice not to think twice about getting down on the floor to look for that thing that just rolled under the entertainment center or about how you’ll get up again.
28. It’s eco-friendly. No matter how much you sweat or howhard you breathe, you will not produce toxic waste or greenhouse gases.
29. It gives you a bulletproof excuse. “Sorry, Aunt Linda, of course I’d love to hear all about your colonoscopy, but I have to go or I’ll be late to Pilates.”
30. Juicy ideas and spicy epiphanies seem to be attracted to sweat and gym socks. Moving your body is a fantastic way to jump-start your brain.

Another week and another 2.2 lbs down! I have been allowing myself a few more sweets and snacks this week (within reason - and my caloric limits - of course) and am happy that I'm still on a good track.
I've been quite troubled this week dealing with the after effects of Covid-19 (I've been constantly tired and even missed dinner a few times because my eyes just fell shut around 5pm only to wake up around 3 am hungry). Talked with my doctor though, so we'll see if I can get this fatigue under control. I really want to slowly start working out again, but with how tired my body currently is that'll have to wait for now.
"I tidied my room" = My filthiest laundry is no longer strewn about my floor, but now occupies a single, localized corner or chair.
"I cleaned my room" = I have organized my possessions in a way that is pleasing at a surface level
"I deep-cleaned my room" = I have thrown out the tupperware that has been in my closet since august
"I Kondo'd my room" = I have performed a cleansing ritual that has purged my soul of pain and heartache; I have grown, and am no longer the person I was before
GET EXCITED ABOUT YOUR GOALS! THEY ARE THE THINGS YOU WANT! AND YOU CAN GET A LITTLE CLOSER TO ACHIEVING THEM EVERY DAY!

Well, there goes week No. 2! And that's almost 5 lbs down this week - so now I'm down 8.2 lbs in total!
Overall, I'm quite happy with my progress so far. I have been cutting down a LOT on snacks these past few days and I feel like I'll need to find a more balanced solution soon or I'll succumb to my cravings after all, but for now it works. I've also managed to increase my caloric needs in general by moving a bit more than I used to last year. So, yaay for baby steps and new beginnings, I guess!
