Observations and Appreciation

I had after work commitments that threw my nightly routine for a loop. Luckily I'd gotten 16k steps in by the end of my work day, so I was going to end with at least a respectable total by the bedtime.

I picked up dinner from one of the local steakhouses. I got an 8oz sirloin with a house salad as both of my sides. All in all, 960 calories was pretty spot-on for my 2nd and final meal.

Before I was able to eat, though, I had to get a good workout in.

The urge to just blow it off was strong: it had gotten pretty late, and I was feeling more than a little frayed around the edges. But I got down to it and got it done. I pushed myself, and I didn't take any shortcuts.

After that was all said and done, I took my time and thoroughly enjoyed dinner, which felt well-earned by that point.

Today has started off a bit hectic: slept less than I wanted, a bit achey, already behind on steps, and work is a bit tense... But I have a solid foundation to stand on, that I've built up over the last 41 days.

It will be a good, productive, health-centric day. I will get it all in - steps, mobility, strength training, hydration, nutrition, etc. - obstacles and challenges be damned.

Day 3

It was an easy choice to pick up the exact same routine as last year. It was effective; the failing was me not sticking to it. Same schedule...
