🌍 About My Journey

Building a Better Life — One Day at a Time

Hi, I’m Dilip Thakali.

I’m originally from Nepal and currently living in the UK.

Like many people, I work long 12-hour night shifts while building a better future outside of work.

I’m not an expert.

I’m not financially free.

I’m not living my dream life…

Yet.

This website is where I document the real journey—every win, every setback, and every lesson I learn along the way.

📖 My Story

In 2021, I weighed 106 kg.

I was exhausted, unhealthy, and unsure about where life was heading.

After moving to the UK to complete my MSc in Engineering Management, life didn’t go exactly as planned. Instead of working in engineering, I found myself working night shifts in healthcare to maintain my visa and support my future.

Rather than giving up, I decided to improve what I could control.

One workout.

One book.

One investment.

One day at a time.

Today I’ve lost nearly 30 kg, developed healthier habits, and started building a life with purpose.

The journey is still far from over—and that’s exactly why I’m sharing it.

💪 What This Website Is About

Everything I create revolves around three pillars.

💪 Fitness Journey

It’s consistent progress.

💰 Financial Freedom

🇬🇧 Life in the UK

Living, working and building a future in Britain.

I share my experiences about:

• Working 12-hour night shifts

• Visa journey

• Productivity

• UK lifestyle

• Travel around the UK and Europe

Everything here comes from real experience—not theory.

🎯 Why I’m Sharing Everything

Social media often shows the destination.

I want to show the journey.

The difficult days.

The mistakes.

The failures.

The slow progress that nobody talks about.

Because I believe ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things through consistency.

If my journey helps even one person improve their health, finances, or mindset, then it’s worth sharing.

🚀 Where I’m Going

I don’t know exactly where life will take me.

My career may change.

My income may change.

My goals will evolve.

But one thing won’t change:

I’ll continue documenting the journey of becoming healthier, wealthier, and living a better life.

🤝 Join the Journey

Whether you’re trying to lose weight, improve your finances, build better habits, or simply create a better future, I hope you find something useful here.

We’re all figuring life out.

Let’s grow together.
