This made me smile. Maybe you need a smile today too.

Today was, on balance, not a good day. Hopefully this weekend will be better.

Today was a really good day. Made plans to see a movie and a concert with a friend, trained on the bike for a future trip, and watched But I'm a Cheerleader for the first time with one of my best friends in honor of Pride

Also, it turns out that posting regularly is a very easy habit to fall out of, presumably like all habits

I think I need to lock in a little bit. I went to the gym which went well and felt good/productive. But I keep giving into the temptation of getting takeout rather than cooking. It's hard, but I think what I need is not more slack but maybe a middle approach between understanding and tough love

Rather than trying to make rest day yesterday something more than it was, I decided not to post about it. Nothing wrong with a little R&R after work, even if it was nothing to write home about.

Today, the weather was beautiful, so I went for a walk in a park after doing some shopping (I'm gonna try to make yellow curry!). It was lovely

I'm so glad I went to the gym today. One of my overall goals for this is to lose some weight, which is complicated and something I have conflicting feelings on.

But today was leg day and I worked really hard at it. I lifted well and spent time on the video bike even though it was incredibly tempting to just go home. And then, while I was stretching on the mat at the end, my music started hitting right, and I felt both strong and flexible. There are benefits to this beyond potential weight loss and they felt great today.

Not every day is going to have a noteworthy entry, and trying to force them probably isn't a helpful mindset. I made a vegetable side dish that will last me for the rest of the week and cleaned my apartment a bit, which has me feeling better about the space.

I'm trying to establish and build on helpful habits, and so far it's going fairly well.

One thing I am trying to be better about is doing more cardio, because I really do not prioritize it when I go to the gym. So I cycled and treadmilled today and it knocked me on my ass, a bit. I'm sore in a different way from normal leg day which is both gratifying and annoying

131

I've been invited to a wedding later this year and it has, in the way significant occasions often do, gotten me thinking about my own life. I will be meeting friends and new people for the first time at this wedding, which makes me wonder about the sort of person they will be meeting on that day.

I think there might be some room for improvement and growth. I plan to keep a countdown of days until the event, posting daily if possible about the things I'm (hopefully) doing differently in my life on the way there. I want to focus on small improvements and little habits that make me proud, and hopefully add up to some substantive change. I did something like this previously leading up to another wedding many years ago, with mixed results, so I'd like to try again.

I wanted to start today because 131 feels like an auspicious number. Future posts will likely have more concrete goals and accounts, but this will do for the start.
