Got started on my self improvement plan 1.25 months early this time. And it doesn’t rely on extreme willpower, massive routine shifts, or anything crazy. Just an under-desk elliptical, an exercise bike in front of my TV, and a weight bench in my office.

It’s not nice when you feel like the quintessential depiction of a “before” photo (even though I’m apparently not that bad looking). I’ve just taken my first progress shots: time to get that “after” physique. And then…I can buy my new sexy clothes.

I’ve already got my savings account buckets tracking money for my new shoes, my new tweed suits, chinos, and some other nice pieces for my wardrobe. I am so hype, and I wanna be walking into fall semester looking ✨c l a s s y✨

(One downside is that I basically have to buy everything new. Thrift stores don’t typically carry clothes for people my height, and they definitely don’t have my shoe size. One more reason to look forward to checking out the Netherlands: all the tall-people thrift stores and maybe some size 47 shoes 😁)
