February 16, 2025 – The Guy Who Couldn't Do One PushupI am weak, lazy, and can't even do a pushup.
This will be my day-to-day diary—where I write about my day, what I did, what I liked, and what I hated.
Today, I woke up but didn't get out of bed for a while. I watched some videos—mostly useless ones. The only good one was about something productive, and I appreciate that at least. 🙂
After that, I sat on the roof for a while, came back, and used my phone. I didn't go out. I didn't do anything worth mentioning.
Even though important exams are coming, I did not study today. 😥
Time passed. Dinner came. I ate, sat for a bit, then went to "study"—but ended up using my phone again. 😕
At least, this time, I watched some good videos—on charisma, communication, and a guy explaining what to do if you're ambitious but lazy.
These, along with the book I'm currently reading, made me think: I should do things that are actually good for me.
The book is How to Win Friends and Influence People, and I highly recommend it. I'll write more about it in later updates.
But I know the thing that would solve most of my problems—exercise.
I was about to sleep, telling myself I'd exercise in the morning... but then I remembered I've done this before and never actually followed through.
So, instead, I got up.
I planned a 5-10 minute workout and ended up exercising for 30-40 minutes.
I still can't do a pushup—my body is weak from not exercising, and my weight makes it even harder.
But I did something.
Walking, jogging, and half-sprinting while standing and sitting in a position that put pressure in my shin.Wall pushups and holding a pushup position (on stairs and against the wall).Walking up and down the stairs.It wasn't much, but it was a start. And I'm proud of that. 👏
Afterward, I thought about sharing this publicly. Writing about my journey every day will help me stay consistent and motivated.
As a reward, I treated myself to a little snack—and it tasted way better after exercising.
It's 11:51 PM now, and I'm finishing this before I sleep.
What I Liked About Today:✅ I took initiative.
✅ I focused on the positive more than the negative.
What I Hated About Today:❌ I didn't study.
❌ I used my phone too much.
Tomorrow is a new day.
