Break-up Day 17: Do not depend your happiness on others

Photo credit: happinessdepends.com

I used to give myself conditions to happiness. So and so need to be with me or treat me in such a way only to be happy. I put expectations upon others on how they should react or behave. When they do not react in such a way i get disappointed and sad. For example, from my recent break up, i wished my friends took more initiative to comfort or at least check in with me. They didn’t. But, it wasn’t their fault, maybe they didn’t know how to react in such messy situation, or maybe they are busy with their lives, maybe they think is best to leave me alone; nevertheless, i felt disappointed and lonesome.

But then i realize i depend my happiness heavily on things i couldn’t control. I need to be responsible to how i feel and react. I can take charge on what I can do, what I can change, how I should behave and how I can react at this very moment. Perhaps when I’m happier again, things will go according to my way.

Break-Up Day 16: Start a fresh at gym

To measure my recovery process towards self betterment, I needed a baseline to measure my progress. So I went to gym and did an InBody assessment. After some discussions with my coach, I find out that I’m slightly overweight, have a body which resembles closely to a man, and have waay to many visceral fats to loose. Fuck 200% of fats is centered on my stomach. To measure my recovery process towards self betterment, I needed a baseline to measure my progress. So I went to gym and did an InBody assessment.

My next weigh in should be right before Christmas.

Also, here’s also my baseline from Strava from my recent runs. After 1 week of running, I’m starting to feel lesser huff and puff after 10mins of running. But I’m still very far from my past performance. #havefaith

Strava Run

My goal is to be in my best shape before Chinese New Year 12th Feb 2021

Plans for the following weeks:-

  • Reduce carbs intake
  • Reduce sugar
  • Reduce snacking
    • I realized that I only snack when I watch TV
    • it’s like eating popcorn while we go to cinemas
    • I need to cultivate new hobbies to replace watching movies or replace snacking
