Hi, guys!
Yesterday I took a bit of a day off, and I’ll likely do the same today—my brain is practically overheating, so it definitely needs a rest. Of course, I can’t take a full break; I have a huge amount of work to get through over the next week, including filming several videos for my advertisers—and I only have five days left to do it. So, I’ll start this morning, as always, by taking the dog for a walk. I’ve managed to keep up a great pace for the past week, and I don’t plan on slowing down—I’m curious to see what happens if I can maintain this momentum for a full month. I still need to lose another 15 kg, so I’ll see how things progress if I keep going like this. Next week, I’m also starting gymnastics training, which means I need to stop by the store today or tomorrow to pick up some protein-rich foods. I need to shift toward a healthier diet that supports my muscles—right now, my intake is mostly carbs and fats, which would eventually cause my muscle mass to waste away, and I can’t let that happen. So, I need to buy some meat, prepare it, and start eating in a more structured way to maintain my muscle mass. I know exactly what needs to be done; I just have to push myself to make the switch to a slightly different diet. It’ll be another challenging task, but it’s absolutely necessary—I’ll need that muscle mass just to be able to support my body properly while working on the aerial silks.
My fatigue isn’t going anywhere, mainly because I’m constantly thinking about my manuscript—constantly mulling over how to edit it better. It’s always on my mind, day and night. I’m not sure how to manage this, because I simply can’t stop thinking about it; it won’t leave my head, and I can’t switch off—not even for a minute. On one hand, that’s a good thing—I’m always coming up with new ideas, staying active, and keeping the momentum going. On the other hand, this inability to switch off makes it impossible to get any proper, restorative rest. I have to make a conscious, internal choice to stay engaged with my blog and my fitness routine; it doesn’t happen spontaneously—it’s a deliberate decision. Reading books for the blog and filming unboxing videos—these are all conscious choices because I genuinely find them interesting. Sometimes I have to give myself a little push to get it all done, but there’s no other way—I can’t just tear down everything I’ve spent the last year and a half building. Besides, I’ll need the blog later on to promote my own book, so I keep at it. It all takes up a massive amount of time—I’m essentially working from morning till night—but at least I’m able to shift between different types of tasks.
So, as is now our routine, we’ll first head out for our usual 2:00 AM walk. After that, I’ll try to get some work done, do some reading, and prep meals for the week. Then, I’ll get back to editing my own book—in short, everything is just as it always is. Wishing everyone a fantastic day!
