Time flies!!!
I bet no one really checks here anymore because I dont post here much. LOL
So since I saw a friend of mine had posted on her blog recently, I wanted to pop in and say howdy.
A lil update on what the hell is going on currently in my life.
1. I am still working with Allmart as a delivery driver. 4 years and counting. It makes a decent amount of money once the time is put in. The time I put in is basically 10 hours 6 days a week (give or take a few hours on the weekend). Looking back on where I have seen Allmart has done, it has grown.
2. I am the owner of a business. 😊 A legit business. Watching people operate a business and actually owning a business is different!! I can see why people form partnerships or have a strong team working under them. It is a lot. Between operations, marketing, financials, taxes, innovation when it comes to the business, this is a 3-5 man task. Especially operating in Antigua, I dont even have staff and the thought of that scares me.
Oh if you want to check me out it is WADADLI SPACES. I have an instagram, facebook, X, thread, and a website all by that handle. We (cause as a solotrepreneur the company and me are a we) are a Coworking Space operating out of Antigua. Currently operating as an open plan office space and an event space.
3. I help out with property management. Not sure how good I am at it but I am doing it. Dealing with people is crazy. If you do not find the right tenants you are setting yourself for a whole heap of hurt. Mainly in your pocket.
4. Health and mentally, I could be in a better state of being but I feel as things start to fall into place, I would be able to focus more on myself. WISH ME LUCK!!!
I truly plan on popping in more often as I have a space where I can be comfortable with posting here.
Pop in to Wadadli Spaces, check out the space or even just to say hi!!! We are here Monday to Friday 9am - 5pm.

My Fitpot Journey Day 1
As I go through my daily and weekly routines of work, home, Netflix, sleep and repeat, I have been observing a few things happening with my body.
Between my swollen feet, my knee aches and the consistent brain fog, I have come to the conclusion that it was time for me to lose weight.
I saw that a friend of mine who had held this event 4 time before was having a fifth season.
FITPOT:
It is a space that gives you financial incentives to lose weight. You join in and pay into the "Pot" and then the money would then be pooled together as the prize pot. As a member we get incentives, exercise and eating guides which we can follow or do what we want to do. At the beginning of the month each participant is weighed and given a goal of 4-5% weight loss. At the end of the 4 weeks another weigh in occurs and the individuals who manage to reach their goals get to divide the Pot.
The last 2 times I joined (Season 1 and 3), I lost because I was going on the basis that just the change in diet would make me lose my allotted 4-5%. This time because of all the actual ailments I am going to incorporate much physical activities and try and maintain good eating habits. I shall be quite transparent with you right now. My starting weight is ... 261.6lbs :( To reach my goal I would have to go down to 249lbs. I shall share my journey hear to keep me extra motivated. Or at least have you hold me accountable.
Sadly as the first day it posed to be quite difficult.
This morning I woke up feeling so exhausted that I didn't go on my morning walk with my sister. It took me quite a while to get out of bed much less to do any kind of exercise.
I crawled out of bed after seeing some of the other participants talking in the support group and decided to do my work outs for the day. My only concern was my knees. So I found a knee friendly exercise and shared it in the group (AMEN TO TIK TOK)
WORKOUT FOR THE DAY:
Wall pushups (10reps x 3 sets)
Overhead punches (10reps x 3 sets)
Arm Circles (10reps x 3 sets)
Planks (10 seconds x 3 sets)
Straight Leg Lifts (10reps each leg x 3 sets)
Hamstring Curls (10reps each leg x 3 sets)
Knee extensions (10reps each leg x 3 sets)
Heel & toe raise (10reps x 3 sets)
DIET: I dropped the ball here :(
Cheese Omelet for breakfast (8am)
Fried Chicken Chow Mein (6pm)
Sautéed Veg and Sheppard's Pie (8pm)
Tomorrow will be better (I hope).
OXXO

Wow... just wow.
2022... What the fuck are you doing to me?
These rollercoaster of feelings are killing me slowly.
I truly don't know what is going on with life right now.
I feel lost in the aspect of career. I have physically gotten weaker which has affected my mental state.
My social state has become so isolating. When having people approach me in a social or romantic way I feel uneasy.
Between Covid, the rise in all prices (especially gas), impending elections, lack of water, and my goal to start a business. I AM EXHAUSTED.
And that is even outside of even the world things. Wars, shootings, Johnny Depp/Amber Heard, Will Smith/Chris Rock, RECESSION!!!
I AM EXHAUSTED!!!!
SO what I shall focus on right now is the following:
My health - physical and mental
Building up my finances
Building an online community for Wadadli Spaces
Assisting with the Property Management of the Apartments.
OBVIOUSLY, I wont put the quantifiable goals here but going into the second half of 2022. I strive to be better. Physically, Mentally, Socially, and Financially.
I have considered sharing my physical journey here. But we will see how that works!!

What Role Do you hold in your life?
Friday, September 10, 2021
It's not about you
Facebook be asking me what is on my mind. Now I gonna be asking you for your perspective.
I been on this blue marble (or disk if you are a flat earther) called Earth. I am looking at the word now and thinking ... Goddamn that is a weird word. EARTH.
Sorry I got a lil distracted😅. But yea I been here observing, learning, comprehending. I am seeing history repeating itself with different factors added in. I am seeing the understanding of mental health on the rise. I am also seeing the ability of the ... Masses to share their opinions over facts.
So I gonna share an observation and I would like YOUR PERSPECTIVE/OPINION/THOUGHTS. If you have kids great. If you passed the age of 30 fab. If you have dependants lovely. If not I still wanna hear from you.
As a parent and an adult child (between the age of 20-50), you should understand that your kids/parents don't care about you and you are officially just there for them. Not the other way around.
From a psychological perspective a person becomes self aware with these different egos. In Psychology class I was taught:
ID - Unconscious level of operations (I want to do this now)
EGO - Conscious & Preconscious level of operations (let's compromise)
SUPER EGO - Preconscious level of operations (This is not right to do).
Understand this as, while you are a baby and child you are all about your Id, it is all about how you feel at this moment and it needs to be dealt with NOW.
Then when you are going into puberty and teen years you are more in your Ego. You are more understanding that there are more things going on around you. So you are willing to compromise so you still get your way and the other person gets their way as well.
Then in your 20s and most definitely your 30s and up your Super-Ego develops. You realize that things aren't at all about you. You have to now look after people who are naturally in their Id/Ego. Or you are dealing with people who have reverted back into their Id/Ego. Therefore you do not really matter. Your life revolves around these other people.
Therefore, your purpose is the help these people to transform into their different levels (children into Superego and parents into non-existent) Unless you see it otherwise. I would like to know what you think.

Canada - Here i come!!!!
So after I got my visa I started looking for a cheap fare and a friend of mine put me on to the "Hopper" app. I then found a great deal and had to go for it. However I had to consult my sister as this is just on the cuff of the car accident which occurred in January.
So I got my ticket arranged my vacation and looking for great places to check out whilst there. Will most definitely document that trip.
Looking forward to seeing all my friends and family.
