March + April Health Goal Update

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

Here is the emoji key that I i'm using for reference:

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


March:

# of pounds lost: 1.8 😕💛

# of workouts completed: 4 😠🔴

breakdown of # of days that I fully met, partially met or didn't meet my food goals: 😠🔴

April

# of pounds lost: -0.4 😠🔴

# of workouts completed: 6 😕💛

breakdown of # of days that I fully met, partially met or didn't meet my food goals: 😠🔴

 

I'm not really sure what was going on in March and April. Both food and exercise were trending worse than February which is a bit surprising considering that I was out of town for the first half of February. I still made some progress but barely worked out at all which explains why the scale didn't move as much then went backwards in April.

I think my current state seems to be a steady-state for my current weight, so I need to make some updates to reset my baseline. I've made some updates to my exercise schedule to hopefully improve workout frequency and I'm back cooking again after taking a bit of a break for the month of April, so that should help as well.

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...

Should Men be the Head of Their Household?

There's a common viewpoint that in a family, there needs to be a "head of household" and that it should be the man. My unpopular opinion is that there probably doesn't need to be a single "head of household" and even if there is, it shouldn't default to being the man. To me, saying the man should be the head of the household implies that women are inferior, that we are below men, that we are somehow incapable of running a family and a household. I don't think this makes any sense because generally speaking, it is the women who actually run the household. Women are the ones who keep track of everything needed for the children, where they need to go and when, what their likes and dislikes are. Women are the ones who cook, clean and keep track of everything that is needed from the store. There are plenty of videos floating around with a bunch of men who don't know their kids' birthdays, don't know where they go to school, what grade they are...
