Realization

As one turns 40, one realizes that half of life is over. I am working very hard to make my life better. Somethings are a lost cause, but somethings I can keep trying.
1. I am working hard to lose weight. I went grocery shopping today. I am going to stick to a very plant based diet over the next two weeks. I am cooking and prepping cauliflower, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, eggplant, kale, eggs, carrots, edamame, quinoa, lemon tahini dressing, broccoli, avocado, tofu, bell peppers. Basically, the point is to have a lower caloric intake on a daily basis.
2. I make time to go the gym.
3. I spend time studying. My reading speed has increased because I am always running out of time in life
4. I try to be more efficient with chores. I put music on and keep plugging away.

I have given up on marriage and love. I do not have time left to add that to the list on top of everything that I have planned. I want to publish in IEEE and Nature before I die. I want to climb a particular mountain before I die.

I posted after a long time. Now men will sniff this and come at me like predators and post some hate directed at. They will pick on something very personal like the Mongolian gene.
