What is one thing you would change about yourself?

I’ve been on medication for my cholesterol since 2020. I had made some attempts at changing my diet and exercising more often, but I just couldn’t keep it up.

Thankfully there are inexpensive generics available for my medicine.

But, I would like to change my lifestyle.

I watch YouTube channels like Julien Kang and Gym Jong Kook and I envy their dedication to fitness. I would love to be able to maintain that kind of lifestyle.

Since I am not working and I don’t have a vehicle or any current activities beyond the grounds of the property I have become quite sedentary.

I spend most of my day studying in front of the computer. Afterwards, I might head over to the living room and sit down to watch episodes of I Am Solo or My Little Old Boy on Viki.

We have an exercise bike and there’s even a BowFlex in the basement. I sometimes, very occasionally, take walks around the house and sometimes the property.

One summer, a long time ago, when I was still quite active I made walking paths all around the property and graded them with gravel. There are flower beds along some of the paths, but they don’t really get enough light.

I even dug out a small watering hole for frogs. I taken to referring to it as the “pond.” Although, now it is surrounded by a bamboo grove, but I still hear the frogs each season.

I’ve run off and lost my point.

If I could change something it would be my lifestyle. I want to lose weight, improve my diet, and get off medicine permanently.
