Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 29 °C, hot, sunny, and slightly overcast. After the stress of Sunday, a long sleep, and an early rise at 4:00 a.m., things were looking better. Just a good sleep can change your perspective on everything. I had to get up earlier than usual because I had a class at 7:00, so I was determined to […]
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. I love mornings, especially those in Rio. Rio is a wonderful city. I learned to appreciate it in the morning when I had the dogs, two boxers, Bruce and Petra. I would […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 38 °C, hot, sunny and slightly overcast. It is Wednesday the 15th, and half the month has gone by. I am an English teacher; I have been one for about 25 years. In 2001, I established a small school called “Right Way English School Ltda.” In the Centro Commercial de Copacabana, an old commercial building and […]
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 […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 30 °C, hot, sunny, and slightly overcast. It is Monday, and I am not feeling overly excited about exercising today, but that is how I am always. I reluctantly drag myself out of the house, with little energy to work out, but I always return home feeling happy and ready to tackle the day. At 56, […]
