I don’t know what happened today but the day actually pretty good. Most of the time when I am work I am going through the motions and just wanting the whole day to end so I can do something other than working but today something felt different. I got up at 9;30am this morning, left home at 10:00am and went for a 10.8km walk (the walk I had calculated to be 10km but I think it wasn’t particularly exact since it left on the section from my home to the main road) and when I came back I was in a really good mood afterwards. I think what has made the situation better is the fact that I’m just sticking to a 9:30am start which avoids bouncing around with different start times depending on whether I’m working at home, going into the office or whether it is on a day off from work.

Tonight for dinner I had some tacos with plenty of salad. I’m not really a fan of cheese so i leave that off (which funny enough is an easy way to save money given how much chese costs these days) but instead I put some sour cream on along with some guacamole. It is possible to enjoy a meal while sticking to a diet – a lot of the time it is about sometimes replacing one thing with something else such as how my dad would have four hamburgers (the small ones from McDonalds) and a coffee rather than having the fries or in the case of me when I have tacos or nachos I like to ensure I use a lot of salad which is an easy way to fill up while keeping the calories low.

The Samsung watch is going well. I am gradually teaching myself how to navigate the screen but that being said I don’t use many of the advance features but instead I’m happy with being able to keep track of my time, speed etc. which serves as a good motivator as I like to keep track of things. I am tempted to start using the calorie counter as well because if I am going to utilise the built in software then I should make sure I’m tacking full advantage of the features. It’ll be interesting to see what Samsung has in store when WearOS 6.1 is released which is based on Android 16.

Interesting enough it appears that speculation regarding Android on laptops running One UI branding maybe coming to Samsung laptops (link). I wouldn’t be surprised if we end up seeing not just laptops but convertibles as well as maybe even mini-PCs with ARM based SoCs. It’ll be interesting to see whether the willingness by Google to allow customisation of Android on the laptop along with watches and phones will be extended to Android TV because at the moment there is a limited amount of customisation taking place. With all that being said, Tizen delivers a pretty good experience based on my time using my Samsung television.
