Angry Buddha's Journey

  I’m so damn close to my goal….. Tracking my macros and weight I am 1 pound away from achieving my goal to start 2024. Based on diet and caloric intake, I was hoping that I could lose 20Lbs by the start of the new year. I’ve lost 19 pounds…. Just 1 more damn pound.     C’MONNNNNNN I’m fasting, going to enjoy a nice meal this evening and then hit it hard tonight.   I’m bringing in 2024 strong. I’m looking forward to my last cigarette.     On Sunday, December 31 st @ 11:55PM I will light up my last cigarette.     It’s supposed to be cold that night.      Low of 21 Degrees.     I’m going to bundle up, sit on my deck and exhale into the night.     Hopefully it won’t be too cloudy. I’m going to lose this last stubborn pound so I can start the new year right.      I’m going to continue tracking my macros, weight, and performance.    ...

  Happy Holidays to EVERYONE…. I truly mean that…. EVERYONE.      We are on the tail end of 2023, needless to say that this is not how I was expecting to bring in 2024. As I look back on this year, I can only hope that everyone’s lives I have touched and those who has touched mine can bring in 2024 with fresh eyes and a sense of meaningful purpose. As I look back on this year, there are so many wonderful memories.     (I’m only thinking about the happy ones). As I look back on this year, I also have learned a lot about myself, how I can improve myself, and how I can conduct myself in the future. 1.        Stop being so stubborn.     In both my personal life and work life…. I have been tasked with projects and tasks that take a lot out of me.     If things don’t go right…. I go into “asshole” mode and work triple time to get things done.     2.    ...

  One thing that has been given to me a lot this past month was in the form of “advice” For those I respect, I care for, I love, thank you!!! Truly!       Thank you for letting me open up and explain the situation and explain my feelings.      It truly makes me feel good knowing my thoughts and feelings about the whole situation weren’t in the wrong.    It's very nice to hear those pieces of advice where they play "Devil's Advocate".   Trying to understand.    It also helps knowing that those who don’t even know me that well, listen to the situation, and then understand what happened and agree.    Friends, neighbors, co-workers, what an amazing support system!!!! This made me reflect on various situations.     Not just with romantic relationships, but with work relationships, friendships, acquaintances, etc…. If someone you don’t respect, who’s actions are truly moronic, try to ...

 T-Minus 3 days until I start Chantix.... while I know I'll miss the feeling of having a cigarette.    This is what I need to do.   This is what I HAVE to do.   I'm actually excited about getting started on this.    

That is all :-)
