Hey everyone, I wanted to give you a quick update and take a look at my achieved goals. Many of you know that I set clear objectives and work step by step towards them. I regularly share these progress updates here on my blog to keep you in the loop. So, let’s see what’s been happening.
The last update in this format was about seven years ago. Back then, I mentioned that we were working towards our next goal of buying a house. This meant saving every unnecessary cent and looking for affordable and good homes. We spent another seven years living in a pretty small but affordable apartment that didn’t even have a balcony. Especially during the first phase of the pandemic, this was quite tough — having a house with a garden would have been really nice. But in the end, waiting has paid off, as we can now fulfill our dream of owning a home. We saved a lot, and although we had to take out a loan, that’s okay since the interest rates are currently fantastic.
The house and garden are in top condition, the area is very quiet and rural. Right next to the forest, with a view over the entire village, and when you look outside, you can see cows in the pasture. It couldn’t be better! It was definitely worth it.
Now, I’ve achieved pretty much everything I set out to do: getting married, having a child, and buying a house. Everything else that’s going on — work, further education in fitness and nutrition, the training itself, and so on — is also going well. Next up is optimizing these areas. First, we will set up our house the way we envision it, including a decent fitness area so we’re no longer tied to the gym. After that, we’ll focus on optimizing my training and nutrition, as I’ve let tracking slide a bit during the pandemic. We’ll tackle that more diligently now. And yes, the website has already received a more modern design, but I will also be adding more features and updates here.
As always, I’ll keep you updated. If you have any suggestions or requests for future blog posts, feel free to reach out to me anytime through the contact form.
