Winding Down 2019 With New Goals

I’ve been at the gym for 2hrs per day, every day, after taking a 9 mo sojourn away from personal fitness. By the time I was ready to move out of Princeton, I felt like death was knocking at my door. Although markets rose and I made money, I didn’t enjoy 2019 at all. As a matter of fact, at times, I felt fairly miserable about it — which of course is often reflected in my blogs. I don’t want to be cantankerous; but I just can’t help it. Ideally, I’d like to live without turmoil or conflict — going about my way without disruption.

I’ve found cooking to be a great escape, even more than reading and watching cinema. I’ve given up all booze until at least summer and it’s a good thing because I make it a rule to never imbibe whilst in a bad mood. Being that I’m often in a bad mood, perhaps it’s best I shelve the gimlets for a later date.

Solid progress is being reported for Exodus 2.0 and I’m happy about that. If what I want to the letter gets built, well then, I can honestly say that I created something beautiful.

On the matter of going back to the gym, I haven’t gained much weight, maybe 3 pounds the past year — but my strength has diminished. I used to bench 225lb and now I struggle with two plates. Muscle memory is starting to kick in and my nutrition is improving. The downside to my cooking escape has been ingesting all of those fucking calories.

For dinner tonight is roasted chicken, carrots, and a potatoes. I will likely only eat a few potatoes in order to minimize carb intake. I know there are a lot of people who walk the black dog and too many of those people do nothing and waste away. Trust me, it’s best to be active, even if it means forcing yourself into a routine.

Some of my goals for 2020.

Launch Exodus 2.0 god damn it
Re-design iBankCoin
Visit attractions down south
Get in top shape
Master the safety razor (Not quite there yet)
Show my daughter more movie classics
Communicate better
Take a long extended summer vacation
Help others

I think those are all attainable and healthy. Off to eat.
