Days 17-23/365

Lot of rest, a couple workouts I didn’t film… and a lot of prep for this upcoming at work
January 24, 2026 at 1:08 AM
Days 16-19/365

So I finally did have to actually not workout to let my body heal from this crud.

Between that and work being SLAMMED, I’m in “maintain and vibe in the garage gym” mode.

Days 14-15/365

My happy place is a cold garage, a full stomach, some angsty music, and some weights in hand
January 16, 2026 at 5:52 AM
Days 11-13/365

The days just keep getting longer and more chaotic at work… but so does my stubbornness to make sure I hit my goals

(And yeah… finding time to workout is still difficult when you work at a gym. Especially in January.)
January 14, 2026 at 3:57 AM
Days 8, 9, and 10:

Day 8 & 9 was sick, and way too busy at work.

Day 10… mostly catch up.
January 11, 2026 at 5:55 AM
Day 6/365

It’s been a day. I did what I could. Sometimes that’s all you can do.

Day 5/365

Don’t skip leg day
January 5, 2026 at 9:57 PM
Day 4/365

Another late night workout, after a day of DND, work, and working on the house
January 5, 2026 at 6:41 AM
Day 3/365. Better late than never. Got home from work, meal prepped, almost finished cleaning the garage and turning it into a gym… and then worked out.

Benefit of a home gym? Late night workouts in the cold garage Tarzan style.

Day 2/365

Did you know that today is Personal Trainer Awareness Day?

That doesn’t mean be wary. ;) Go talk to a personal trainer and make their day.
January 2, 2026 at 9:43 PM
It’s 2026. Who wants to get 37 times better with me?
January 2, 2026 at 12:07 AM
Training is like basic hygiene… if I don’t do it… my day’s gonna stink.
December 29, 2025 at 11:32 PM
Well I’m officially in a coma

That Beef Wellington and Scotch Egg alone is gonna make me sleep for days

Gods, I missed this.

It’s been over 10 years since my Tandem jumps or Airborne.

First jump of my civilian Accelerated Free Fall certification.

“The perfect ugly Christmas sweater doesn’t exist”

Oh really? ;)

Machines are a part of my routine again. Just a part though. ;) I still like my free weights too.
December 13, 2025 at 11:55 PM
Every night when I get home. Maybe one day I’ll even know a whole song. 🤷🏼‍♂️

For now, I do what my tutor tells me.

It’s good to be brand new at something I have no inherent skill in again. Truly.

Every time I sign a client, I add to my workout.
Every time I don’t sign a client, I add to my workout.
Every day I wake up… I add a little to my workout.

Basically, I’m always, adding 1% more to my routine every day.

That’s the “magic pill”: sustainable consistent progress.
