My day started by pulling myself under the blankets. Winter is here and for some reason Monsoon has not left. I was a little perplexed by it but the day must go on.

I took my progress picture and then I weighed myself. My weight has not budged since yesterday. I chose to ignore my feelings about that and focused on my reading task.

I headed for my first workout to the gym and did 60 minutes of abdominal exercises. I chose to skip swimming today because I have been continuously swimming everyday for the last 2 months and I felt like I could use a break from it. Besides the gym was enough to cover my first workout.

I came home earlier than usual and had breakfast. I started working after that until the afternoon when I had to cook some lunch. My mom had already prepared some Kanji or Congee as it is called in some parts of Asia as well as some chapatis. I had to cook the vegetables and the eggs. After lunch I got back to work until the evening.

The forecast said that it was going to rain this evening although it hasn’t rained yet. Maybe the clouds drifted over or the machines are faulty either way I went for my outdoor workout. My friend Apurva joined me and we had a heated discussion about how the government and the people have gone on to eat shit in the last decade and all hope is lost for the world. Then he headed home to have dinner. I headed home not giving a fuck about the end of the world. He works in the media so he sees things the rest of the world does not see and I get why he gets anxious. But I won’t let that affect my sanity. My will is to better myself and I will keep doing that.

At home I gulped down the rest of my gallon of water. Day 23 was a success.
