It’s weird to change the routine. Run plan I’m using was a little shorter with a combination of lower and higher intensity. Felt like I needed to jump into the pool later to just make up some time. Today is strength and a run (and continuing to paint). I need to get that project done.

Better today. Hit the reset button yesterday with a pretty restricted calorie day (maybe about 500). Seems to have got things going again. Signed up for 80/20 Endurance yesterday. Starting off with their Running Base Zero plan to start getting my body adjusted to zone 2 work and to start laying the foundation for a

Still going. Today is a strength day. I think that I need to start getting some sort of systematic design to what I’m doing. I know that in the long term that is what I need to do, but for now I’m seeing progress and making gains. I’m hesitant to screw with that right now.

Yesterday was a bit tough but managed. Saw the results this morning. Back to the usual today. Still have a little bug in my ear whispering things to me. Just finished an audio book by David Goggins. I’ve been listening when I walk my dogs every morning. That guy is something else. It’s helpful to

Little disappointed that I didn’t see any weight drop yesterday. I went hard on the run. I know it’s my own fault though. Had those two bowls of soup with dinner which was about 900 calories between the two. I figured that with my run, and general low calorie count I would have still have

Plan is a run today. My schedule is a bit messed up but I’m going to get it in early today. Started thinking about adding something to the calendar for next year. Something to work towards. I like the idea of it but want to select something thats a reach but doable. Which means something
