Rediscovering Life Through Fitness and Home Improvements

Weekly Updates

💜 I realized that without a job, I'm lacking discipline, so I decided to hit the gym. Let's see how long I can stick with it this time. The gym right under my apartment turned out to be a bit too real for me. I sent a message to a friend, and she said thanks for the dumbbells instead of tires! I guess I do care a bit about where I work out, so tomorrow I'm going to try a different place. 😅

In an interesting twist, this old-school gym was opened by former world champion Ian Dov. I had a chance to chat with him, and now I'm one handshake away from Arnold Schwarzenegger.

In the screenshot, you can see him in first place, with Schwarzenegger in third.

💜 I finally picked up my trophy for the women's final! This news also comes with a fun story about connections. It turns out there's a doctor in our tennis club who attended to Princess Catherine during her pregnancies.

💜 After several months, we finally tackled a home improvement task that had been sitting on our to-do list. Now we have filtered water in both the kitchen and the shower! We completely replaced the shower head with one that accommodates special filter capsules. The effect was immediate—it's been two weeks, and we still don't have that awful white residue on the walls. We also got a Brita filter for the kitchen, which even replaced our kettle.

💜 Lucy, as always, is just enjoying life. She has established her own morning routine. Whenever we stop by GAIL’s for coffee in the morning, they treat her to freshly baked croutons.

And I finally finished knitting and took pictures of my mushrooms. I'll share more about it tomorrow!
