commute was smooth today. podcast was good. coffee was hot. 10/10 morning. it's the little things ☕

okay but why do people say 'new year new me' and then quit by january 15th. just say you liked the old you???

my quads are basically screaming at me. soreness is just weakness leaving the body... or so i tell myself #fitnessmyth

the gym heater is broken and it's 38 degrees outside. still went. still mad about it

step count today: 4,200. that's what happens when you drive to everything instead of walking. winter + cold = couch energy

winter mornings hit different when the sun doesn't rise until like 7:30 am. everything feels slower

gave in to cravings and got pizza last night. not even sorry. carbs are carbs when you're lifting heavy

new podcast recommendation from a friend: 45 minutes in and i'm obsessed. making my commutes way better #podcasts

rest days are so hard when you just want to be in the gym. my brain won't shut up about squats

someone on the bus today brought a full coffee thermos and i respected that energy immediately. 🤝

january blues are real but so is my new PR. 230 pounds. i'm on top of the world for like 3 hours then it wears off

commute observation: why do people brake checking on icy roads. NOBODY wins that game.

meal prepping chicken and broccoli while rewatching my PR video from last week. living my best life

the snow on my windshield this morning was NOT it. spent 15 minutes scraping. almost called in

coworker tried to convince me that skipping leg day is valid. we're not friends anymore

sore in places i forgot i had muscles. this is fine. this is good actually. 💪

why is everyone suddenly into their fitness journey in january. gym is packed. miss you december.

january weather: so cold my car won't start. had to take the train. listened to a 3-hour audiobook instead of my usual podcast. not mad about it tbh

rest day but make it productive: meal prepped like 6 containers, did laundry, and avoided the gym FOR REAL this time

hit a 225 deadlift PR this morning and immediately thought about pancakes. the duality of woman
