Why is going into the office even a couple days a week seem like it’s such a negative now a days? I understand Covid can be a reason but people still go out to eat, socialize, etc. Does anyone miss the in person social aspect of work that a zoom meeting doesn’t fully provide?

A little bit. But I don’t miss:

-Getting up at the ass crack of dawn
-Throwing on professional clothing
-Stressful commutes
-Eating a bag or packaged lunch instead of cooking a fresh meal
-Unnecessary meetings which I can now camera off and check out from.

I also workout at lunch which leaves the evening free.

Every hour I spend commuting is an hour of my life completely wasted I’ll never get back.

So no. I don’t miss it on balance. I’ll be fully remote the rest of my life

I miss it sometimes, because virtual isn’t the same. But commuting sucks. At my last job, I’d have to get up while it was still dark out and drive for 45+ minutes to get there on time. I’m rushing through breakfast and grabbing a quick lunch to bring to save money. But remote? I can sleep in a bit. Or work out in the morning. My SO and I even made fun lunches since we were both working from home and could trade off.

I have been trying this cold therapy not for fat loss but for my mental well-being. I usually do 30 secs on and off for 3-4 times in shower and not sure if it is placebo effect but I instantly feel really good. Andrew Huberman has several podcasts on this topic if anybody is interested.

I feel like I’ve been neglecting this bowl. 😔 I’ve been doing keto with 16/8 intermittent fasting for the past month. By the time it hits my eating window, I’m starving and I don’t have time to make instagrammable meals. Like the one below 😄: Eggs and breakfast sausage with Spanish and Buttered cauliflower rice, and a salad. Not very exciting, I know. But what’s exciting is I dropped 15lbs!!! 😁

But I mean, somedays I do that...I just don't want to psyche myself out if I'm expecting too much. Or pscyhe myself in if I actually might not be experiencing what I should.
