January Health Goal Update

As promised in my post about 2025 Health Goals, here is the monthly goal update for January.

I've decided that for each monthly goal, I'll use the following emojis to denote how happy I am with the result.

😃💚 - very happy with the result
😕💛 - ok with the result but some room for improvement
😠🔴 - not happy with the result


# of pounds lost: 1.6 ðŸ˜•ðŸ’›

# of workouts completed: 13 ðŸ˜ƒðŸ’š

breakdown of # of days that I fully met, partially met or didn't meet my food goals: ðŸ˜•ðŸ’›


I lost more in the first half but went through a period of poor food choices towards the middle of the month. I self-corrected a bit towards the end of the month. We'll see what February looks like since I'm on vacation for pretty much the first half of the month)

I would like the "Fully Met" bucket to be at least 60% (ideally 75%) and the "Didn't Meet" bucket to be closer to 15% or less (about once a week). I decided to still give myself a medium reaction since this is only the first month of me making these changes, so I'll give myself some time to adapt. In future months, I think a "Fully Met" bucket of under 50% would be a "not happy" reaction.

Relationship Red Flags

Many of us, myself included, have unfortunately had relationships that were lacking in many ways. I've decided to summarize some of the red flags and things I overlooked from my past relationships, partially for my own benefit and partially in case it helps someone else avoid the same mistakes. Red Flag #1: They have untied loose ends from a prior relationship Having unresolved issues with someone they dated before you is a sign that this person jumps from relationship to relationship. By doing this, they don't take the time to properly learn and grow from each relationship before going into the next one. I had an ex in this scenario. He ended up deprioritizing me at times to handle the unresolved issues with the other person. This was a sign that he had a lack of respect for me and our growing relationship. This ended up manifesting itself in other areas later in our relationship which will be illustrated in the next red flag as well. Red Flag #2: They don't want to commit...

Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica Trip Recap

Image
I recently took a trip to Costa Rica, and here are the details of my trip. I'll share the day by day recap with details for each day then provide an overall summary of my thoughts at the end. The trip was only about 2.5 days, so not long at all, but definitely worth it. If you prefer a video version, check out my Youtube Video . Day by Day Recap Day 0 I left my house around 9 PM on a Friday night. My flight was supposed to leave San Francisco around 11 PM, but we actually left around 11:30 PM. My layover in El Salvador was only an hour, so I was concerned I was going to miss a connection because of the delay. However, we actually ended up arriving 30 minutes early. I’m not sure how exactly the pilot did that, but we arrived in El Salvador around 6 AM central time so that was about about five hours of flying to El Salvador. I ended up arriving an San Jose, Costa Rica around 9am on Saturday. Day 1 The only international airport is in San Jose, and most of the places that people visit...

Bali Solo Trip!

Image
I took another solo trip. This time to Bali, Indonesia. This is a blog about my experience. If you prefer to receive information in video form, please check out the vlog. Travel Info Bali does require an eVisa or VOA for US citizens. You can do this when you arrive, but I opted to do it ahead of time to avoid waiting in an additional line. You can apply at https://molina.imigrasi.go.id/ and the cost is about $35. I traveled on China Airlines from SFO - DPS via TPE.  Be prepared for a long travel day if you are coming from the USA. It was about 17 hours of flying each way between the two flights. I think flights may be even longer from the East Coast. I didn't eat much on my first flight, but the food was decent on all remaining flights that I took. I pre-ordered a lactose-free meal since I am lactose intolerant. They were accommodating of other dietary restrictions as well. The seats were not particularly comfortable especially on the longer flight. The plane seemed to be a bi...
