Day One
We’ve all wanted to start a new life on Monday. Or at least pick up a new habit. I’ve tried countless times, but it’s always ended in failure.
As I write this, I’m already 34 years old. It might seem like it’s too late to change your life — but today, more than ever, I feel ready to take control.
I’m not a bad person, not homeless — I even live better than some people I know. But in my eyes, that’s not enough to be proud of the life I’m living.
I have a wife, a son, and a daughter on the way — she’s due this week. I earn about $1,400 a month (which isn’t much for Moscow). And yet, I see myself as a very, very weak version of the man I could become.

I’m going to keep this blog and write about the changes I’m going through — what I succeed at, and what I don’t.
My main battle will be with myself: Discipline.
We all know the basics — sugar is bad, an active lifestyle is good, smoking is harmful, and so on — but giving up those things is never easy.
I want to wake up at 6 a.m. every day. I want to do morning exercises daily, cut sugar almost entirely, and many other things that, if I simply stopped doing them, would drastically improve my life.
I hope this blog helps me. I’ll share my progress, my failures, and everything in between.
“Start living the life you would want to look back on in the end.”
