Another year in the books since my last birthday post, and somehow this one felt even faster than the last!

This last year I got married (just a month ago now!), while I barely did anything to help prepare for it (huge shoutout to my now wife for effectively working three jobs to design and plan out everything for us), its nice now not needing to plan for it.

Recap:

As always, I want to revisit the goals I set for myself in last year's post:

• Health
• Read more
• Write more

Health 🫤

My health over the past year was best looked at as a story of three parts, the first third over the last year was pretty decent. I had started some of my health habits just before my last birthday and was really walking a ton and also tracking my calories a bit better.

The middle third of the year was winter and I fell off on my morning walks, but I was still intermittently tracking my calories.

The final third was a mixed bag - I slowly stopped tracking my calories and also wasn't really getting out for my morning walks anymore either. I tried to mix in some walking here and there but it wasn't to the same extent as before.

This year I pulled together my steps and weight data going back five years - each line below is one "birthday year" (August through July), with the past year highlighted.
