💭 What’s on My Mind?
Having lots of fun biking around the city! I’m so grateful for this nice weather and this great city!
In terms of a life update, I’ve finally decided to get a driving license here. The feeling is a bit scary since the failure rates in the UAE are very high. I’m going for the Golden Chance opportunity, where I directly take a road test—but I only get one ‘Golden’ chance!
I’m also trying to learn Arabic! I shall write about my plan soon!

🏋 My Fitness
I’m currently focused on transforming my body and reducing my body fat to below 25%. This involves a lot of protein and long walks to ensure I’m in a calorie deficit while building muscle and losing fat.
I’m now doing strength training 3x a week, following Greg Nuckol’s beginner program on Boostcamp. On gym days I try to go for a walk in the evenings. Other days, I try to alternate between cycling and light jogging.
