it’s ironic, isn’t it? i post about no more rest days, talking about how i need to stop aiming for the day off, and then, satisfied with my conclusion, i blissfully forget to post the following day. dammit.

i’m going to make this missed post up, and will double-post today. but first, let’s talk about this. how did it happen? well, the truth is, as i’ve mentioned before, i am married. and therefore, my time is not always my own. yesterday, shanima and i had a full day of taking care of ourselves and each other, and we got a lot accomplished. two hours and 15 minutes in the gym, including 45 minutes of muscle-ripping arm and chest exercises, then 45 minutes on the elliptical machine running intervals (alternating one minute of medium resistance and one minute of high resistance) and clocking in 4.6 equivalent miles, then 15 minutes on the treadmill programmed to a high-incline fat-burning setting, alternately jogging and speed walking (with the treadmill alternating between its steepest incline and the two next-highest levels). after that, we came back home, slammed back a protein shake, and divided and conquered. she got the meal prep going while i ran the laundry downstairs. in between changing out the loads, i helped in the kitchen, and the. when it was all done, i laid it out in piles and then went to help finish in the kitchen, packing up the finished dishes into lunch containers so we can grab and go in the mornings. once that was all done, we moved to the bedroom and folded clothes, and then i cleaned the bathroom. by the time we were done with that, it was basically time to call it a night, and we laid down to watch a movie together. and i completely forgot to blog.

i would argue that it’s a good thing that i have my wife and our life my full focus yesterday. but dailies are dailies, and i missed one that is fundamental to this journey. gotta do better next time. speaking of next time, i should close this out so i can move on to post number two and give you all some good news.
