Great start into the week, got a new personal best for my morning run, 6.8 km. And my wife is going to start a B2 German course + employment course (whatever that means) paid for by the unemployment agency.

On the negative sides, money continues to be tight, and it’s another month I’ll postpone buying that Sesotho course I want. The Christmas bonus in December should help there. I also gained weight, 2kg. I guess the now regular exercise is making me hungrier.

Congrats on the run, and great news for your wife! The physical effort may also simply mean you're gaining muscle, which is heavier than fat :)

Thanks <3

I know, but I doubt that’s happening after 2 weeks and 2 days :D

hahaha you'd be surprised! I don't know why but when I started doing more sports and eating well, I gained weight (a little bit) for an entire month and then lost A LOT in the span of a couple of weeks. The beginning can be weird while your body adjusts.

Your words in the deep one’s ears ;)
