Its my one year anniversary in FLM, I am still very much works in progress, but here goes my two step forward, one step backwards journey.
I am breaking down into lifestyle, health and work/finance.
Lifestyle-wise, for past one year.
Work-wise
I am breaking down into lifestyle, health and work/finance.
Lifestyle-wise, for past one year.
- I quit facebook, coffee and excess sugar. I still take sugary stuff once a while, but with moderation.
- I fap less. A year ago, I was addicted to porn and fap, it was almost a daily habit, I've now got it under control. My longest refrain was 45 days followed by 30 days, and my usual restrain is ~ a week. I also started building a healthier dating circle. It is still my biggest challenge so far wrt porn.
- I meditate. This is still a hit and miss, but most days I can do 7 - 8 minutes, which scarily was very hard in the beginning.
- I hope to make meditation a permanent habit doing it 15 minutes a day. I don't "sense" the benefit yet, but sage people have said it is helpful, and if should find out myself by upping to 15 minutes a day.
- I also wish to wake up early at 7am daily I don't know if I can......as monthly intercontinental travels messes up things.
- lost 5 kg
- Reduced body fat to 19% in January (much less now but didn't get to measure because of Covid)
- Reduced Body Fat Mass to 13.1kg in January
- I count my calories. I know my base is 1600, and ctive lifestyle 2300ish. I know how much I am burning (eg: 40 minutes jog burns 400 KCal), and eating (a sweet potato in the morning takes 150 KCal, an egg is 80KCal etc)
- I go to gym systematically about six months ago. It used to be "just lift some irons" to recording progresses and doing the macro exercises the get the most bang. Two colleagues comment on the changes when I was shirts off.
- I am already eating healthy since a teenager, if anything it's just cutting out midnight snacks more thoroughly which I do more often than I should.
- Shout out to @Ninjakid @Champion @deckthehalls @iced_steez @Tourmaline @Roli @Tourmaline, especially to @MrStoic886 for helping me get on the workout part. @Defection on diet advices!
- Continue what I do, I am at a beginner's gain period for gym, hence I am gaining muscle and losing fat at the same time, hopefully I can continue doing progressive overload to lift better and look better.
Work-wise
- I run a company with few hundred employees, I always had the feeling that it is out of control, I still have that feeling but it has lessened with the GSD method. At least I can keep my mind out of it by recording things on GSD. I still make the mistake of putting too many task on the "to-do/immediate" column, as it is advised to only have three task at a time, you can't do other things if you have not finished the task.
- Finance has always been a mess, I've tried to organize it since four years ago, I don't know if it is the constant improvement that is getting me there or it's FLF. I really am a mess in this department, for example, upon cleaning up my "debt book" recently I found out that a company actually owed us few hundred thousand dollars. They were ready to pay, we weren't asking them to pay.
- Finance 2. While I am at the low millions net worth, I feel that I have missed out on taking care of my finances better and would have been in a position twice my net worth.
- To learn to be more of a numbers guy. I felt that I always avoid numbers - be in sales, finance etc. It's a major bottleneck for me and the firm.
