Hit a squat PR today after skipping legs for a few weeks, prob going to be feeling it the next couple of days but I'm happy to see my long hiatus didn't wreck my leg progress

Just treading water over here; bigger goals have to wait

Doable goals this week: hydrate and get sleep

If anybody else wants to be added to the roll call, just let me know

Back to hitting the gym regularly after a work-and-school induced depressive episode, I recovered my progress in the last few sessions though I haven't really felt like doing legs recently. Thinking about hitting them on Tuesday or Wednesday if I have the time

This week showed that everything comes in waves.

• my workout schedule was less consistent, though that’s mostly because I did fun things and had to adjust. Habit board really helped me look both ahead and behind and be honest about when I could rest and when I should train.
• felt less able to keep up with household chores than last week. Skated by on the minimum cleaning tasks.
• 11th anniversary with my partner yesterday which was cool except we fought a bunch.
• kept up with mandarin study. A friend recommended some other useful resources, soon I hope to be able to practice with him.

This week I plan to:

• big week on workout schedule. Going to try more reps on the Turkish getup and training 6 days.
• busy social week though, so need to balance. Marxist book club, coop shift, helping a friend with some apartment upgrades.

Not a great week, lately I've been going through some intense burnout. Not sure how to fix it since the stressful circumstances that caused it are outside of my control. And I've already been doing everything I can with things which are under my control. Kind of just need to suffer through it and try to actively relax my nervous system when possible

Trying to finally eliminate caffeine from my diet. I feel so much better already and it's only been a few days.

So for the past few weeks I've been very bad for going to the gym, I've gone one time a week. I went for a really good workout yesterday.

This week I've really wanted to cut down on weed consumption. Its not too damaging to my overall lifestyle, I only smoke at night after I've fulfilled all my responsibilities for the day. But I can physically feel the effect the nonstop smoking is having on my lungs. I probably have asthma and smoking is not good for me. I would be happy to make edibles or something, but I live with my parents who aren't the biggest fans of weed.

I've gone back to college to study history, and frankly, I've been doing fantastically. I'm more motivated than ever, I read absolutely loads without getting exhausted and giving up. I get burnt out frequently but seem to bounce back.

Also, this might seem strange, but I consider watching new shows and movies to be self-improvement. I watched Wildwood in cinemas (it was great) and the new season of Cyberpunk Edgerunners (it was great). Starting and finishing something new always feels significant for me, and I feel more enriched having watched them
