100% still my favorite smart watch. Mourn using mine like 5 years later.

Funny thing is, yesterday evening I started reading the “Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle” book by Tom Venuto and the intro said exactly this lol, that we should burn more calories instead of eating less
Since I ran about four hours in the last two days, I’m feeling I should work more on my top body today, but I got climbing a mountain and two 1mile run planned from the two trainings I’m subscribed to…
Oh well I’ll just put some Weleda massage oil before and after 
But yeah I gotta work my mobility and upper body too, especially the bar hang.
On another note, the mushrooms I’ve been trying to grow since September have finally grown!! With the heat of spring they sprouted and grew.
I’m so proud.
It’s 4pm so way too late to be eating them, especially with how blue they are, but I’ll be dehydrating them, so next week or the week after I can make myself an heroic chicken-mushroom omelette maybe, it’d be cool

in the end I climbed the mountain at sunset to see it but arrived just a tiny bit too late, it doesn’t matter it was very beautiful anyway.
I met some cool people up there they shared a beer with me, we shared stories, they invited me to sleep in the refuge since it was into the night instead of going down, but I wanted to take a shower and change before work, so I bid them goodbye after I got one of the guy’s insta and went down, without a shirt since it was so hot and since the shirt was dripping with sweat from the climb.
Well I didn’t find the way back so I went straight down the cliff. Chamois like at first, but I was confident I’d find my way back eventually, I even found a hat someone dropped into the ravine! But then luck found me, someone let a metal ribbon attached to the side of the mountain!
So I was able to rappel down the cliff for a few tens of meters, until I found myself in pans of small rocks, I alternated between sliding down on them or walking in zigzag to go down without creating an avalanche lol.
Then finally I found a path! And it was the right one!
I never lost faith and climbed the mountain.
I never lost faith and went down from it.
If you’re confident things will work out, if you trust they will in your heart, they almost inevitably will.
Edit: also, I got to see two fireflies!! This was really cool to see them, especially since they’re going instinct

A beautiful mountain climb ending in a beautiful message.

So wednesday after a long and hard day working with German people so that they can hopefully get on debugging the app they made for our company (instead of trying to advance while ignoring the bugs that prevent us from using their app), I had a 4 days weekend.
Thursday I had an appointment with the fertility clinic to see with the doc if I could freeze my seed and when, all of the staff were extremely nice, quite the contrast with my first experience with them 4 years ago, it was a really good experience, they wanted to give me an appointment next week but I still needed to receive the result of an analysis to give them, as well as getting a blood serum analysis done, so my appointment will be early next month instead (July 2nd)
Friday, I decided to try the shrooms I’ve been growing, I felt like I was almost dying a couple times, though I got some insights, I’ve bathed in pure love with my cat purring near my face, I’ve turned back into the worm/larvae stage a couple times, and otherwise bathed in the sun near my plants and painted, I’ve had the impression my appartment was very woody, and very dusty, it felt like a dusty wooden cave, and very messy. many times my appartment kept getting bigger, my plants kept getting greener, more lush, with more flowers and more leaves, I kept getting prettier, and then at some point all took the form of very epurated and simplified lines, very plain, very empty.
It was interesting, but yeah it was too much lol (140g of freshly picked very very blue sauteed mushrooms with rice, chicken, and peanuts)
In the evening I called my parents, I wanted to hear them and talk to them, I also started sorting a bit my table, my desk, and my closet. I’ve had many supplements laying on my desk, it felt as if I was living the life of a sick person, so I put those I don’t use every day back on the pharmacy shelf. The latter needs to be sorted, those too old need to be nought to the pharmacy, this is a mess inside.
I had a ton of unread magazine, so I sort out those I want to keep, those I want to recycle, that’s many many kg of paper off my closet, off my shelves. I will have to give or recycle so many festival plastic cups too.
on my table I had a lot of paper, I started putting them to the recycle bin too, some will need to be shredded first.
I also broomed the room a bit.
so yeah, plenty of small advances, I need to take things little by little to get better.
Saturday I went to the baby shower of my ex’s sister, it was very nice, I was very appreciated, and I appreciated them a lot back, we had lots of fun
Sunday I was invited by my ex’s mom to spend the day with them, so I spent the morning continuing to sort out the magazine and recycling, and in the afternoon we went to a river for a swim, it was quite nice, again I had lots of fun.
Today is Monday, I’ve started the cycle aftermaybe a bit more than 2 weeks of washout, this morning I’ve listened to 30s of the summertime / stabilizer name embed (Stable Summer, one of the two name embed I ordered on June 1st) I started slow and that’s a good thing, starting 25s my brain felt buzzing, more than 30s would have been foolish.
I felt the need to continue sorting out my home, but I didn’t have the time this morning. it’d be good too if I had maybe some better sleep, and for that I’ll need to get back some regularity in the workouts, likely put my goals and workout obn paper instead of keeping them in my mind.
This would free some loops.
I’ve been thinking too, that there are many clothes that I don’t wear, don’t fit me, and that idk where they are from, so I could just give them to the red cross and it’ll free some space in my closet.
I also need to sort my food closet.
and have admin to tend to in my mail, though these still feel heavy.
this feel like a lot, but I want to take care of it.
it’s the result of many years of ignoring things that needed doing.
We gotta labor to eat in this world.
I also want to volunteer some of my time and skills to the red cross, while I train to join the firefighters (hopefully by next year I’ll be good enough for the physical exam)
but yeah, the wise thing to do, is to first do what I need to be doing for myself, sort out my home, sort out my admin, empty out what is no longer of use, throw out whatever need throwing, or recycle or donate, depending on what is more appropriate.
Then, once these loops get closed, I’ll have enough time to dedicate toward helping other people.
Edit: Today, I took care of ordering a new driver licence, since my old one got stolen 2 years ago, and to order a new vehicle papers, I also added the virtual identity app on my phone, that way I’ll have my papers in case the police stop me for a control, this is something I had to do for a while, and in the end it was easier than I thought it would be.

Something I’ve seen happen more and more these last few days, is people staring at me, then I look at them, smile and say high and they’re beaming.
It feels nice.
Monday I listen to Stable Summer (Stabilizer + Summertime name embed), yesterday I listened to Hero Zone (Hero: Origin + Limitless Zone name embed)
I nearly finished all the admin and medical side of the stuff I needed to handle and put aside, everything is in progress, I did what I could and now time has to do its job.
Also, I refined my workout routine to balance the different aerobic and reinforcement sessions, I did good advances on the program at work, was doing much better than usual communication wise and emotionally wise with the german contractors yesterday so that’s cool.
I gotta get an handle on my sleep it’d be good.
Also, while planning the present for father’s day and my mil birthday, I found a bundle of three books: the Art of War by Sun Tzu, Bushido: The Soul of Japan by Inazo Nitobe, and the Book of Five Rings by Migamoto Musashi
Now that’s a great coincidence 
Of course I bought it and I’ll be studying them
