9.1 Announced

It will take me a while to download the 9.1 patch that was announced for June 29th, but I’ll get there. New legendary upgrades, changes to Torghast, the addition of flying – there’s going to be lots going on. I am not exactly excited about this update yet but that has more to do with my feelings about World of Warcraft overall and less to do with this specific update. I really wish Blizzard would add player housing to the game. I don’t WANT to spend all of my time killing things and doing combat related things, but even farming mounts and pets tends to involve a lot of combat. I feel like Blizzard spends a lot of time rehashing previous game mechanics and there for haven’t had to be innovative for some time. I’d love to see some innovation.

Weight Loss Update

How are things going? Since April 15th I’ve lost just over 30lbs. I’m below 220 for the first time in a few years. I haven’t noticed any change with my MS symptoms yet, but I’m sure my body is happy to have a little less weight to cart around. I’ve been doing a mixture of keto and just eating regular food with moderate portions because up here in the North it can be difficult to stick to a set ‘diet’. I’m staying away from processed food and sugars as much as I can, but also not restricting myself so much that I don’t have anything to eat. I picked up some spices and I’m using them on everything. I love chili and lime, as it turns out.

In another 19lbs I’ll have obtained my first goal, 50lbs down. I decided if I can manage that, I’ll pick up an apple watch as a reward for doing well, and start incorporating exercise into the equation. That’s another thing that’s harder to do up here, I can’t go for walks around town due to the packs of wild dogs, and if I step outside right now I’ll either melt (what is with the crazy warm temperature this year?!) or I’ll eat a LOT of bugs. I’ll figure something out, even if it’s just doing some VR beatsaber in the comfort of my home. I don’t feel proud of myself yet. I do see my clothes fitting better though, and that’s always nice.

Onward!

Not a Fan

I don’t particularly enjoy summer. Whether it’s because of the giant bug swarms we currently have, the heat, or some other reason, it’s my least favourite time of the year. I’m ready for the snow to come back.
