📅 13th of March – 0% Battery 🔋
🌅 Morning Reflections & Running on Empty
⏰ Time Check: 12:17 PM – Technically afternoon, but it still feels like morning since I **only got out of bed 45 minutes ago**. Running on fumes after another rough night shift.
🎯 The Reality Check:
- 😴 **Fell asleep at 2 AM, woke up at 3 AM.**
- 😵 **Basically had a one-hour nap instead of real sleep.**
- 🤕 **Right wrist is messed up, but I don’t want to cancel on my brother.**
🔥 Takeaway: **Even when running on empty, showing up still matters.**
🏋️ Training with My Little Brother
- 💪 **Learned new exercises**—turns out my skull crusher issues are **genetic.**
- 🔥 **Adjustment Tip:** Doing **skull crushers on a cable machine** removes elbow pain.
- 🎯 **Biggest Lesson:** **Don’t start with skull crushers**—our elbow structure means we need to warm up first.
🔥 Takeaway: **Small changes in exercise selection make a huge difference.**
🩺 Chiropractor Visit & Reality Checks
🏥 **Finally saw my chiropractor after over a month.**
- 😂 **She wasn’t surprised when I said I started running.**
- 🏃♂️ **Told her I’m considering a triathlon next year**—she laughed and said, *“Of course you are.”*
- 📉 **Her advice? Dial things down to a 6 instead of an 11.**
- 🦵 **Knee issues? Yep. One of my tendons was out of place for two weeks.**
🔥 Takeaway: **Maybe, just maybe, I should listen to my body before it completely breaks.**
📚 Mindfulness & Gratitude Check-In
- 🙏 Grateful for: **Costco snack haul**—quick food fixes are lifesavers at weird hours.
- 💡 **Also grateful for learning what a deload week is.** (Apparently, it’s a thing normal people do.)
🔥 Takeaway: **Rest isn’t weakness—it’s part of the process.**
🎸 Guitar Epiphanies
- 🎶 **Realized “Riptide” has a capo on the first fret.** Been playing it wrong this whole time. 😂
- 🎵 **Finally figured out the correct timing.** It actually sounds right now!
🔥 Takeaway: **Sometimes, the smallest detail changes everything.**
