Brazil, Life and Perserverence!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 10 degrees, cold, damp, overcast, and the forecast is for rain. Monday of the week before Carnival in Brazil. It is cold, drizzly, damp, grey, and wet. I wanted to do some exercise this morning, but due to a heavy workout on Saturday, my legs are still sore, and it is difficult for me even to walk, […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 11 degrees, chilly, grey and damp. What do you do on a cold and slightly rainy Sunday in England? You go to the pub! I worked in the morning, but I didn’t do any exercise as I am still sore, very sore from the workout yesterday. My mother suggested that we have a late lunch and also […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 11 degrees, a little cold, grey, overcast and wet. It is Saturday, and I didn’t go out last night. I also don’t have anything planned socially for today, tonight, or tomorrow. I am surprised by myself that a night out, clubbing, meeting friends, or a girl, etc., are no longer the priorities of my life. Some men […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, a beautiful morning with the weather closing later in the day. This is my third day of exercising outside on the patio in my mother’s back garden, and it can’t get any better. Sometimes, when working out in Rio with temperatures ranging from 20 to 30°, I would feel euphoric. Here, the effect of the […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 2 degrees, cold, sunny and blue skies. Even though I wanted to do exercise outside, there were still sequelae from yesterday’s session. Instead, I thought it would be better to walk, get some shopping for my mother, and come back on foot. Ideally, it is good to do both, walking and exercise, but if for some reason […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, cold, grey, grim and very damp. It was bitterly cold overnight, and at 7 in the morning, the temperature was -1 °C. I got up, washed, and put on clothes to exercise out on the patio in the back garden again. Today has seemed much colder than yesterday, and my skipping rope seemed shorter than […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, cold, grey and very damp. As I wrote yesterday, this week is dedicated to planning, setting goals, and outlining priorities and routines for the year, or at least for the next six months, until the end of the year. It is 6° during the day, but it was 1° when I got up at 7:00 […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 4 degrees, cold and overcast. A crazy day of housework and getting half drunk! As I have said many times before, I have been having difficulty getting up early in England, as I usually do in Brazil. I’m not sure if it’s due to the time difference; my body clock is still set to the Brazilian time […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 5 degrees, cold, cloudy and with drizzle. Today has been basically one long walk. Up early, I worked on the computer, wrote in my journal, and then prepared to go out. I wanted to visit a second-hand motorbike dealer on the other side of Brierley Hill, near where my late grandfather lived. My mother knew that I […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 5 degrees, chilly, sunny with a clear blue sky. Today, I only have two classes, one at 7:00 am Brazilian time, which was cancelled 1/4 of an hour before the class, and the other at 6:00 pm Brazilian time, which is 9:00 pm here in England on a Friday. If it were 20 years ago, I would […]
