Black Friday and Mainly Watched Anime

11:59 PM

Yesterday for Black Friday, I went out to a local community center and worked out there. There's a several Olympic sized pools, a recreational pool with a two story slide and lazy river, basketball courts, a weight lifting gym, an indoor track, a rock climbing wall, and other amenities. There's more amenities here than any gym or community center that I know of in Puerto Rico, not that I know many anyway. It costs $6 to get in, or there's membership passes for around $300 a year for unlimited entry. I think it's worth it to get the year pass if someone were going there regularly. The guy at the counter said if someone goes more than 3 times a week, it saves them money to just get the yearly pass.

I just did some walking on the indoor track for 20 minutes, and then I ran on the treadmill for 30 minutes. Then I did some push ups, pull ups, chin ups, and some stretching. I did some sprinting on the treadmill, so I was really sweaty. I would have used some of the exercise weight lifting machines, but I felt like I was too sweaty and would get sweat on all of them, and also I felt tired already from sprinting, but it was mainly the sweaty part that made me not do any weights. It was also a new environment, and it felt so weird.

It feels really weird to work out alone. I am usually with friends when I go to the gym, and the one I go to is pretty small. I could go to that gym alone, but I pretty much never do. I wore a vegan shirt at the community center too, it said "Animals Are Not Products. Go Vegan" with some colorful drawings of cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys (at least I think there were turkeys, this is just based on memory).

The rest of the day yesterday wasn't anything remarkable. It was Black Friday, so I did a lot of online shopping. I spent a few hours on Temu just looking for things to buy. My dad and I also went to Best Buy just to do some window shopping, or to find something there to buy online for less. There's basically nothing I need or want, shopping endlessly on Temu made me realize that. I don't even remember what I bought on Temu, it was definitely stuff I didn't need or want.

Today I tried to do the same thing as yesterday, work out at the community center, and have a pretty good day overall. I didn't go to the community center nor did I work out. I mainly just stayed at home and watched anime. Was it a wasted day? Probably.

Yeah. I basically don't remember doing anything else today. Of course I did my brain training, some vegan activism, because I do this stuff every day, and I went to Wal-Mart with my parents. I didn't exercise nor did anything else. I just mainly watched Overlord again, some anime I've already seen several times.

My weight today was 173.4 pounds. I think I ate too much again today though, eating over 3000 calories just because I saw my weight become a little lighter. I hate it. When I see my weight start to become good, I give myself some excuse to overeat. I tell myself that it's fine to eat more because I already lost weight, or something like that. I don't actually talk to myself much in my head, all my actions are basically intuitive and by feeling rather than voicing out a plan or opinions. I "feel" these excuses instead of thinking or talking about them, if that makes sense.

The anime Blue Lock which is about soccer, had this one part where the main character evolved to the next level by intuitively acting instead of planning and acting. Usually the main character has a million thoughts racing through his head before he makes any decision or action. His main ability is his power to read the field and make sound decisions and predictions about where the ball and other players would be, he's actually overpowered in that way.

Anyway, the Blue Lock main character evolves and steals the goal from two of the top players on his team (even people on the same team are against each other to score the most points) by acting intuitively instead of by thinking. I am just always intuitively acting. It ruins me a lot because I procrastinate and I lazily watch anime for hours without being interrupted. Even though it's the weekend, I could have worked today and got some tasks done, that would have been a better use of time, but I didn't. But yeah, I ate too much today. That was the point I was trying to make, I ate too much, and I didn't control myself because I think and act intuitively.

Anyway, that was my day today.
