Got what I needed to get done today though and still managed to be productive all around. W: 282 CTL: 10 Menu: Breakfast: Orange Bell Pepper, Smoked Salmon, Cottage Cheese,

Rest day felt good. Went to the pool. Rested. Watched TV. Played xbox. Don’t feel super recovered but it’s back on today. Yesterday was supposed to be a strength day but I’m going to run today. That’s what is most important to me and I want to keep the consistency going with every other day.

Trying to get in a routine. First few weeks are the hardest to do that. Especially when that motivation starts to fluctuate. I’m still tired from travel and I’m finally getting sleep again after straining an abdominal muscle. There are things I want to do now that I have some time but I just don’t

It’s gonna be a run day. I remember laying in bed at night listening to a rainstorm out my window. It was about 9:30 at night and I was restless. As I tossed and turned I realized what was keeping me up. I had missed my run that day. So I got up, put on
