Not until last year my fasting A1C (blood sugar) level was at 5.9 and I was hitting 100kg. It did a toll on my body as my knees and back just sorta gave out during badminton sessions. I was prone to get tired easily and basically just sorta having other invisible health issues lurking around.

Not until 3 months ago when I decided enough was enough. Bought a new electric toothbrush and water flosser and implemented a better dental care routine. Then came the more conscious effort at regulating sleep and eating healthier food while cutting down significantly on sugar.

So now my A1C came down to 5.3 and I lost around 5kg of weight. Also it translated to better games and more stamina to spare. For the first time in like 6 or 7 years, I am motivated to keep these habits and routines around to cut down my weight further to sub 90kg. Ngl, I think it'll be harder than I expected. But I'm determined to make it happen.

Just thought I shared this with the casual folks here. If I can't control what is happening out there, at least I can control how I eat, sleep and train to be a better version of myself. It's tough but I think I might be ready to take on this challenge 😤😄

As per title. I just completed our first home loan refinance and somewhat got our finances in order, withdrew some reward points from a previous closed credit card, fixed a few direct debit details with the current home loan and most importantly, recovered from a nasty back muscle pain on Sunday to prepare for my badminton session this Saturday.

TL;DR: I feel pretty productive so far as I've done some paperwork relating to my home loan and happy to be back to badminton this weekend.

What have you guys completed or organized so far this week that made you feel like you had just made your life a tinier/substantially better? Please share here so others can get motivated by your efforts? 😁👍
