Journey to the Fog's end

Yo yo peeps, look who's made a comeback! So it's DAY 20 today since I decided to quit smoking. It's been quite a journey till now. You might be wondering what happened to the days in between. Nothing did. I was just lazy. Some days were busy, other days not so much. I somehow just didn't feel like writing. Why I felt like writing today - there's no special reason for that either. I just thought it would be a total waste to not continue this, since I do like to write these blogs. I had decided to be consistent in writing these blogs; and in every other thing, like dieting and home work-outs etc. But well, clearly, that didn't work out. Being consistent is rather hard. I thought I was stronger than this, that once I was determined to do something I would do it no matter what. But I suppose I really am not. I am a weak pathetic human, just like most others. But I think that maybe, what really makes a difference is when you're determined not to give up. So, I am...

Hi all, it has gotten pretty late today. But somehow, I have really come to like writing blogs like this, it is kinda refreshing to pen down whatever my experience was of today and really just take some time for myself. Well if I take too much time with this blog, my sleep scheduled will get f'ed up, so I will keep it short. By my evaluation, today was nice. My time at office was fairly productive, and I really got some work done. Regarding my latest project, the codebase migration, it is almost complete. So I sent a company wide email describing the main upgrades and improvements in the new codebase which was well received. Also, we have a new engineer on the team who is being onboarded onto this new codebase. He is new to the company itself and doesn't really have much context regarding what is what, and the codebase in question is pretty huge and complicated, not easy to manoeuvre the first time you see it. To be honest, it would take months by yourself to understand fully h...

Hey guys, guess what, it's officially a week since I decided to quit, and if we discount the one single moment of weakness, I think I've been fairly successful! Should I be proud? I don't know, ig one should celebrate small wins sometimes, you decide. I think Mother Luck is really trying to extend an helping hand to me here. My flatmates (say HS, this is how he will be referred to in the next posts) and friends who were supposed to have returned by now just had their trip forcefully extended. How? HS took his car to the trip, and now there's a fuel strike! Fuel stations have closed up shop in the entire region where they went, and now they're stuck their without enough fuel to come back home. And they'll only be able to come back when the strike is lifted or they find fuel in black somehow. I got a call from him and he didn't sound too unhappy about not being able to come back, well who doesn't like an extension in vacation. More so when your office is a...

I'm back in action today, but not for long. Today's blog is going to be relatively short. Apologies for not writing the last few days. In retrospect, though, my days were really hectic, and tiring, and I really didn't have the energy to write the blogs; and the same goes for today. In a nutshell, I won these 3 battles. Following up from my loss on DAY 3 on which I succumbed to my cravings and smoked a quarter of a joint, I am really happy to mention that I haven't touched cigs or j's for the last 3 days. DAY 3 made me feel so guilty that I couldn't sleep that whole night. I was either doing some office work or watching some stuff or doing some other myriad bullshit. Finally I went to sleep that night at 5:30 am (very very unhealthy as any fitness coach would say). My energy levels were consistently low on DAY 4, but I made a lot of personal progress regarding taking my personal health seriously. As I had mentioned, I wanted to get into fitness, hence I took the ...
