2026-08-04: I keep surprising myself with how little I have meaningfully updated my site or even kept up with blogging these last couple months. On one hand, work has kicked my butt this summer. On the other, I have gotten sick and tired of being sick and tired. I just haven't had the energy. On a secret, third hand, my respite these last few weeks has been retro gaming.

I've been doing better since I started working out. I expected to be even more exhausted, but I've felt more energetic since swimming and doing cardio regularly! My goal is to get stronger and have more stamina, to generally feel healthier, and then weight loss down the road. Setting my priorities in that order because the sort of sustained work needed to see sustainable weight loss requires a good foundation. I figure, if I am doing that and feel physically well, the weight will come in time. I'm not even bothering to weigh in; building muscle will add weight in the short term anyways.

Point is, I wanna feel stronger and feel better. Also, never in my life have I ever been a strong swimmer, so I really hope that I'll look back in a few months and be more comfortable in the water than I have ever been.

So, that's gonna be one of my top priorities for a while, trying to be consistent with it!
