Some say that giant Koreans don’t exist.
Lol. Yes it does.
A nice pair of running shoes, to get me motivated to stay jogging again. I need to do cardio.
In Dubai and India I saw male friends holding hands together while walking down the street, and I thought it was really nice.
I hug my male friends often.
Being about to keep your mouth shut. My god. I hear so much office gossip. It’s always best to keep it to yourself.
Yes.
Change grammar so that the plural of a word ending in an s followed by a hard consonant has -es added to the end instead of just -s - e.g. waspes instead of wasps.
Someone said that I “got skinny” (I’d lost a bunch of weight, on purpose). She meant it as a compliment, but in my mind skinny = underweight/malnourished, so I went out for lunch that day and ate a bunch of McDonald’s.
I used to log into BBSes back in the day. I got to meet some pretty cool people, and had a few wild experiences.
Happy cake day, friend! Thanks for providing this place for us.
A little late to respond to this, but a few things:
Track your protein intake. Likely you’re getting in more than 30 unless you’re just actively avoiding protein. Once you know how much you’re taking in, shoot to increase your intake by a bit each week. Protein powder can help a lot with this, but if your goal is to lose fat then you’re better off increasing protein from whole food sources at first (these will keep you fuller for longer).
As I mentioned above, increasing your protein intake will help you lose weight because you’ll feel fuller and more satisfied after meals. You’ll need to take in less calories than you burn, so you’ll need to find a way to this that you can stick with. The #1 determiner of success is adherence - find something that you can stick with long term. I like to track my calories and protein, but other people like to eat low carb, low fat, mindfully eat, intermittently fast, etc. Sometimes it can take time to figure out what works for you, and it may take some experiementation to determine the approach that fits you best.
As for 10g of salt, I’m not sure why this is a goal of yours, but I’d 100% discuss this with your doctor before doing this. I’m assuming this might be because of some sort of underlying condition, but for most people that is a ton of salt to be taking in each day.
If you want to start weighing your food, buy yourself a kitchen scale and weigh it in a bowl. I weigh it cooked (there is a difference in weight between raw vs cooked). There are apps that can help out with figuring out how many grams of protein are in X amount of a food, but you can also just Google it. Alternatively, a palm sized portion of a lean cooked protein source (chicken breast, lean beef, etc) is usually about 25g of protein, so that might be an easier thing for you to do.
Caloric intake will be the #1 determiner of fat loss. Activity in the form of exercise will help, but not as much as cutting back on calories - focus on food intake first. Exercise is great for you, though - I would look at exercise as a way to improve your health vs as a way to burn more calories.

Happy birthday to Rosie!
I have not, but I had a friend who always ended up getting apartments on the 3rd floor, and I helped him move several times. Would not recommend.
I guess I need to… catch up… on all the different spellings.
The plastic ones are super flimsy. So annoying.
Ketchup.
Yep. Look up the Great Filter theory.
I like manga, but I dislike some anime. The voices they use for some of the characters are super annoying to me.
