I could stand to lose some weight. I can always stand to lose some weight, but now, also.

I look like a real computer nerd, now.

Like I'm wearing a sign around my neck:

THIS PERSON SPENDS 16 HOURS PER DAY TYPING, HARDLY SLEEPS, NEVER TAKES BREAKS, WORKS OUT MONTHLY, HAS NO HOBBIES, EATS WHATEVER.

People keep trying to give me complicated nutrition tips and workout plans, and I'm like...

I should maybe start small. Like, getting at least 7 hours of sleep. Every night. No exceptions. No excuses. No guilt.

And then waking up 6 am and going for a walk.

That's it. That's the Grand Plan.

Nearly hopeless.

7 hours of sleep and fresh air sound like an impossible feat.

Of all the habits, changes and improvements i have accumulated over the last 6-7 years none of them was as powerful as changing from always going to bed between 22:00 and 22:30 and get up between 6:00 and 6:30.

Probably more beneficial than all the other things combined.

Yes i did go to bed later like a handful of times a year because not everything adapts to my strict schedule but i always pay the price the next day.

I always immediately start losing weight and feeling better, when I get enough sleep. I find it really difficult to maintain, for more than a couple of weeks, tho.
