Day 63 So today I got some putty so I can practice some hand exercises, it had magnet in there that reacts the putty, the reason I got is because I need it for my occupational therapy (hand and arm exercises) was just using balls with beads before (enclosed beads you squeeze them). So I’m happy in this new direction, plus I been eating mostly fruit, veggies, oatmeal and omelet so far with no snacks and twice a day then try to walk the neighborhood when I can and walk the dog at the same time. Been doing this for three weeks (fruits and veggies) now and glad I did it becoming easier and one of my favorite fruits is honey melon or the green fruit. I’m still on my nerd fitness nutrition and I add that in so maybe there ways to improve nutrition like eating slower, putting down fork every time I take bite so like that. So I’m doing what I can but this some of the progress I made along the way as well went to my local church that I will soon be volunteering at. So I think that about it still reading book of Job chapter 32 as well as regular Bible plan. Grateful: 1.God 2.Angels 3.Safety 4.Bible 5.Church 6.Family 7.Dog 8.Friends 9.House 10.Car

Life is up and down but good overall. That guy at work is still causing havoc and managment won't fire him. But work overall is great bendy I'm leading multiple projects and those projects are going well. I'm getting great reviews from my colleagues and that has been nice. My son is sleeping a bit better. We altered his sleep schedule and it's working. I think my body and mind had to get used to the additional sleep and I think it's restoring other parts of my mind now. I've managed to write a bit and that's been nice. I'm also still on and off stressed with my family but that will never change. I'd like to include more stretching into my day. That's it for random thoughts lol. -

Thank you. I've made a lot of progress and I feel better about this than when I was losing weight in 2020. I think I was losing it too fast back then and wasn't eating right. Now it's like a couple pounds a month and that's ok for me. -
3 Sep - 7 Sep: The last few days have been tough on me intellectually and mentally. I have taken some steps towards better money management in my business (and in my life as well). I haven't made terrible decisions or spent money stupidly, but I have to rethink the allocation rather. It's mostly a question of planning, but it's still a challenge. It's not easy to write this, but I don't know whether my girlfriend and I will be together. I'd love to, and I will absolutely hate it if we split, but there's obviously a limit. Traveling and sports are such a large part of her life that even with effort from my side, I don't know if I can keep up. I'm not writing this to blame her (or perhaps to show that my choice of a girlfriend was poor), but to show the differences. Our relationship is built on such a tremendous amount of respect and tolerance that I think is really without many parallels in today's world. She motivates me to do more exercise though; I generally cycle, run or workout at least once a week for an hour or so, I also started physiotherapy and got shoes that by themselves improve my posture. On the bright side, she started looking for a potential new job and I'm happy to assist her with that, even if nothing comes out of it. She feels stagnant and bored in her current one, although she's more unhappy about the above. We came up with a plan though and we'll try to find a compromise. -
I think you conflate meaning and addiction into one thing. I can agree that making a lot of money just for the sake of having a lot of money is a bad goal. It is a goal though, so the person has something to work on. The problem comes when/if this person reaches their goal. If this person doesn't have any other goals, they will fall into an "undefined limbo". This state is not easy on people, because they have no identity at this point and they don't know what to do. Without making consistent effort (being dedicated, perhaps addicted or having some meaning attached), they'll never be known for anything and never get anywhere. They won't build up a reputation as a hard worker by working hard once a year and they also won't build up a reputation of being kind to others by helping somebody once a year. I think that's why "working on something" is generally considered a virtue. If I had to hazard a guess, you derive a lot of meaning from (and perhaps are addicted to) being in opposition to "normal things" - your belief to not conform, to stand in opposition, gives your life meaning.
