I made a post a few months ago mentioning my need to lose some weight, so figured I'd give you a little update on it. It started off well, I got pretty into tracking my steps and walking for a while but my arch nemesis caught up to me which kind of makes me annoyed and half quit my progress now and then; phone battery dying.
I know what you're thinking, a simple solution, just charge it before you go out or make a habit of putting it in the charger at night when you go to sleep, well, for that there are also equally lame excuses I can give you similar to me not walking when my battery is dead.
For starters, if I'm not feeling like walking I'm not walking, even though I can charge my phone up pretty fast and enough for it to last for my walk even with 10-30mins charging time the moment of my will to walk passes faster than my bowel movements. The room I live in is quite small, there are not a lot of outlets free so having one explicitely for my phone to charge at night, let alone a night table for it to be on do not exist. This is not cause I can't afford one or can't just buy one of those thingies that multiply your outlets but the problem there is actually going and buying one, getting it home (especially the table) or basically just remembering to do that and going and doing it.
I am a very lazy person when it comes to my "real life" as people like to call it online these days. If there's a dungeon I need to do in world of warcraft to get better gear I'd be the first person to start the group and look for people but if there's something in critical need of fixing at home I'd probably wait for a miracle or someone else to do it. Same thing goes for my Hive "duties" or activities, they always have top priority but what I'm going to eat today or when is anyone's guess.
Either way, back to walking. I've been feeling a bit weird with my breathing lately, no it's not covid as I've checked. I figured it was just my stamina that was as bad as it can be but I should probably take a better check at it through a doctor at some point, again, laziness here trumps my curiosity or safety of my own health. There is definitely something up for it other than my stamina just being really bad, but for now the more important thing is that I lose some weight as I've never been this heavy before and don't want to find out at what weight I'll start having new symptoms or should I say more new ones.
Here's a step meter chart of last month and this month.
I'm a little proud of the good start I had this month once I figured I could filter them monthly I wanted to give it a proper go again, take my daily record from last month at some point and consistently average more steps than the previous ones to hit a high ceiling to make the next month even more challenging, maybe even try out some soft jogging and see what my stamina thinks of that, unless my shin splints are going to liquidate me.
As you may have noticed, the past few days look very different from the others, my battery died mid way on that lats gray bar and it annoyed me so much that the bars weren't averaging "only up" that I decided to take a break the other days. Here I am now writing about my borderline mental disorder of numbers and statistics, not trying to make fun of actual disorders but I'm pretty sure I'm somewhat close to having A.D.D. or something when it comes to these things. Or is it called 
In writing this post I'm also using this time as an excuse to not do any walking today, come to think of it I really ought to post more often too as I think I may have less than 10 posts this year. I kind of miss writing but at the same time I want to make sure some other Hive activities are up to as good as they can be and that I'm also taking care of some other things that have forced me into where I am located right now. Maybe I'll write about that another time, though. Thankfully those "medical procedures" haven't been something that have gotten in the way of my walking, at least no doctor told me to "take it easy" physically or anything so I should probably be good.
It's not all just bad news, though, as I may make it sound in this post. I think I'm trying to hover between being a bit funny with some negativity spilled out everywhere about my habits and laziness, the latter should be normal for a Finn. All this walking this month and a few of the last days of the previous have all occurred outside of the country I've been residing in for the past few years, so considering I've been doing a lot of traveling, mostly by plane and cars, I'm a little proud of myself that I've still found the time to also walk it off a lot, especially since it's a lot hotter here than where I was which hopefully means more calories burned although I doubt the step tracker knows any better as it doesn't ask for the weather.
I've also been meaning to post about my travels, but since most of the things that have happened so far have been about my health and not about the travels/vacation I figured maybe I'll post about that later. Not to mention I need a new camera cause taking pics from the phone to post feels so bleh, I blame 
Not all of you will get that reference but I hope most of you understand that I'm mostly just joking and not actually that paranoid about my "security". It's nice being able to remain anonymous, though. Who knows where Hive is going to go next and what will happen, many think those who stay anonymous do it because they have ulterior motives or are planning on doing something bad, but I for one like that Hive, similar to Reddit, gives you the option to stay anon. I think it makes it easier to "stay real" about things you say and do and I like that Hive doesn't judge people based on who they are but based on what they do and have done on this chain with its immutable history.
Anyway, I may be posting a bit more often from now on (no, not just cause we raised HBD's APR recently) but will try to do some more walking soon again and it's also probably time to start diving into some other exercises. I believe I've lost some weight already since the post 3 months ago but haven't confirmed for a while, hopefully the tropical weather will make it easier as I usually sweat like a pig, always have, even when I was skinny/er. I'll be the liquidator then.
One thing I'd definitely like to start posting about is some things other than Hive related stuff I've been posting mostly about the past year. Let's see if my followers still read my posts considering how inconsistent I've been lately, show of hands if you still do, even maybe just this last part. :p
Thanks for reading and see you in the next post with hopefully more pictures and less screenshots.
PS! Also thanks to those who gave me some great tips in my last post that I didn't act upon at all, I'll make sure to check up on them again once I get my second wind.
