[Name]: Mia 👋 [Starting point]: Physically at my strongest (but not leanest -- am at my heaviest and chunkiest), and mentally in a state of stress and adapting to changes. I quit my job since they were changing our office sched (more office days), which I can no longer afford since my energy and health can not be negotiated! (Manifesting a new job though, or a new career path 🤔) [Current Quest]: My long term goal is to continue becoming a stronger version of myself, and reduce my chances of getting osteoporosis and fractures in my late adult life! But I'm contemplating on maybe facing one of my wishlist goals that I never got to start - a proper cut to see the muscles hiding under the fat 👀 [Skills] Time management, work-life balance, mental fortitude and wisdom... but maybe need to start facing my fears of numbers 🙏 there's a lot of unlearning that I have to do in recording my weight, and I need to make an effort to rewire my brain into thinking this is data more than anything! [Why now] If not now, when? As someone turning 32, I hear so many nightmares about females cracking so many bones after one slip. I'd rather not do that - and I know that today's workout will lead to a more graceful (and strong!) future 💪

[Name]: Jozef Pagalilauan [Starting point]: 241lbs. Progress has been amazing compared to when I first started to now. From proper sleep, nutrition, lifestyle improvements. Things are progressing each day. [Current Quest]: To be lean and mean. Aiming for atleast 200lbs by November this year! So far I've lost about 5lbs to 6lbs in barely a month. Ultimate goal is to be at my hottest version before my wedding 2 years from now. Wedding photos are forever! [Skills] I'm prioritizing: Mindfulness, being fit, and building habits that'll lead me to be the best version of me on a daily basis and then carrying that out consistently throughout my life. Why now: Well, the best time was yesterday and the next best time is today. Everything I do now is something my future self will be thankful for (This is something a wise person named Tom Moncupa said and made me realize. You guys might know him! That guy is a legend 🫡) so why not be the best I can be NOW rather than saying "I'll do it tomorrow" or "When the timing is perfect" which I've said before too many times. Excellence is what I owe to myself and to the people I love.
