i wouldn't say i'm overweight, and i know that the BMI index is not necessarily reliable, but i do feel like over the years i've kinda lost the figure i used to have. i mostly stay at home and code now, whereas a couple years back i used to play a competitive sport on a daily basis.

how do you guys lose weight, or stay fit, as adults? i've tried the gym, i just don't really like it there. i feel insecure, and i don't really utilize many of the machines they have there since i don't want to bulk or gain muscle. for christmas, i got a yoga mat and some dumbells. do lemmers have resources for creating a low-maintenance workout plan?

there's also the whole diet thing. how do you count calories, eat well balanced meals, etc? i already struggle with meal prepping, and feel like having to account for calorie intake would make this even harder. or would that make it easier since i would get good at making the same things? idk, it's stressful but i'm hoping to take better care of myself in 2022.

i think iceland has also created a new visa for these reasons, but focused on families whose income makers are remote workers.

not sure if it's tangential, but the pandemic has also obviously impacted remote work, with more companies adopting policies that make remote work possible in the long-term. i've seen several countries starting to take advantage of this and create new visa's for remote workers who want to adopt a "digital native" lifestyle. i.e. costa rica and georgia have created new remote worker visa's to help stimulate their economy.

i'm graduating next may and feeling extremely anxious about the whole job thing. i don't think i'm necessarily awful at interviews, but i'm fucking terrified of them. i've gone through several different rounds for internships and i'm just a sweaty, nervous mess no matter how much prep i do. i hate the fact that every round i meet with someone new and i have to re-pitch myself to them. i wish i could just sit down with an engineer and walk through a real-life problem with them. how did you guys go about getting your first industry-related job? am i just targeting the wrong companies?
