Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28 °C, hot, sunny and slightly overcast. Everything was going well, and then Sunday. In the morning, I got up early, did a good workout at the end of Leme, and had coffee in the street before going home, and I would like to say that I have never been officially married. I have two mothers […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 30 °C, hot, sunny and slightly overcast. It’s a beautiful Saturday morning, 30 degrees, with a completely blue sky and no sign of rain.

Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28 °C, hot, sunny and slightly overcast. It’s March 2023, and Lula, elected under suspicious circumstances, has been in power for only 2.5 months. Brazil is already in chaos. Inflation and unemployment rates are rising, leading to layoffs, business closures, and suspended investment plans. Consequently, economic forecasts for the next four years are bleak, to say […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28 °C, hot, sunny and slightly overcast. Summer is almost over in Rio, but it is still very hot. Every day, the temperature is above 30°C.

Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28 °C, hot, sunny, and slightly overcast. An excellent hot, sweaty and stuffy Tuesday. When I started working out about a year and a half ago, I would do seven or eight exercises; now, I’m doing between 12 and 15. The time that I have allotted for working out is almost not enough anymore. This is […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 29 °C, hot, sunny and slightly overcast. It is Monday and the beginning of the working week. I was able to do an exercise session as my first class was at 7:00 a.m. I am concerned that I will have to give up my freedom and live with my ex-wife for the next couple of months. […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 29 °C, hot and sunny. What a pleasant Sunday. I got up, but this Sunday, I did not do exercise at the end of Leme. First, I did 100 push-ups at home before going out. Then, after green tea, YouTube, etc, I prepared myself to go on a walk. The weather forecast was for rain in […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 27 °C, hot, sunny and a little stormy. I live in a cosy rented flat on Rua Duvivier in beautiful Copacabana. The street has a charming ambience, with lush trees flanking both sides. It also boasts an array of shops, bars, and restaurants that cater more to tourists. Additionally, a few 3- and 4-star hotels are […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 30 °C, hot, sunny and slightly overcast. Even though I had gone to bed late the night before, I was determined to be up early to do a good workout. I cannot stress enough how much my life has changed since I began exercising regularly. I used to be somewhat active, but I never fully appreciated […]
