Day 40 (0)

May had been a very good month. Let me summarize some of my accomplishments I keep track of and say a word or two about how I look about them in the future.

I've lost about 4.5kg. This is great and I am extremely happy for the result. However I don't think this is sustainable, quite frankly I don't feel comfortable with 1kg/week weight loss. For the future I will be extremely happy with 2 kg/month. I would be content with 1kg and I would be disappointed with anything less.

I did on average 137 push-ups, 427 sit-ups and 139 squats. This I think is unsustainable. Many days in may I was pushing myself way too hard and I was suffering the next day. Now I will try to do a little bit less, but more sustainable. Sadly due to the conference next week I will "lose" a week of training, but still I will strife toward getting half of the current averages.

I've walked 13.3km on average. This is very good and I will try to beat this result. It was true my entire life but even more so nowadays that walking is extremely enjoyable for me and I would gladly spend 2-3 hours of my day simply wondering through my city's park and other places. Such a walk is exhausting for sure, but I find I can recover from it relatively easily and I want it to be the focus of my weight loss.

I don't count my calories intake, but as a diabetic I keep track of thy insulin usage. I used 58.4 units on average with 70 being rough equivalent of 2000 calories/day (depends strongly on diet, exercise etc.). As long as I burn a lot of calories anything below 70 is fine, I think I would strife for 65 in the future.

I smoked on average 10 cigarettes. It's not too bad, I used to smoke 15 per day on average. I think something like 7-8 per day is achievable given I will be able to control better my stress and exercise self-control. It's way too easy to chain-smoke when you are stress out and there is little you can help for the situation.

I masturbated 9 times, which is relatively small number compared to previous months (typically I would approach around 15). Still I'd love to get down to something like once per week.

As for current news I'm back in the city from my mother's, it wasn't bad and I'm glad I was of use for her. The stress I was experiencing eased a little bit, however as tomorrow (that is on Sunday) I'll have to get back to work and skip day off to catch up and hopefully do as much work as possible, I fear the stress will return. Hopefully I'll be able to work instead of panicking and doing nothing useful. I'm just glad this state of affairs will last only next 6 days, after that all will go back to old, slow and steady every day life.

Last but not least I re-installed Tinder, this is something I want to discuss tomorrow as I'm not even sure why I did this, this was very spontaneous. Stay tunes for my rumbling about that!
