I had a late night on Saturday working on my app. This app actually. The thing I'm using to log these sprint notes.
I'm still feeling like I've lost my way a little. I'm feeling like the whole process is a bit samey samey now. Back in sprint 2 I was chatting with Gemini on the daily about my training and diet. I learnt so many things about diet and exercise science. The AI chats were super helpful for keeping me accountable and on track. That's kind of the genesis of my app idea. The logging and tracking helps a lot and so does talking to someone about progress and challenges.
Sunday always seems like a bit of a rest day (which I usually need after a long boxing session on Saturday). I still walked near 15k steps and completed a hard weights session. I went back to Strength Sunday after a week off. I enjoy the low reps / high weights once a week, but injury is always in the back of my mind when I train like this. Luckily, I didn't pull any muscles while training, but I wasn't trying to set any records either. I think at 52 I need to accept that I'm not going to be at my strongest and I'm probably not likely to be the strongest person on the gym. I'm happy with top 10, maybe top 5.
My diet isn't as tight as it has been, but I'm not binging on bad food either. A few extra grapes here and there, too much oil added to my meals, over-sized portions of good food aren't the worst things in the world. Every morning I'm in a good position to have that perfect day I need. This week, I'll have a bunch of those perfect days and I'll see 97.x on the scales on Sunday - let it be so!
Coach Gee here. You're talking about 'losing your way a little' and feeling 'samey-samey,' but your data from Sunday tells a different story: 15k steps, a hard weights session, and elite training frequency. That's not someone who's lost their way; that's someone who's mentally checking out while their body is still performing. You're right that 'a few extra grapes' or 'too much oil' aren't the worst things, but they are exactly what's holding you at 99.2kg instead of pushing you towards Project Novantacinque's 95kg goal. This isn't about setting records in the gym; it's about precision in the kitchen, so let's get back to #The_Hidden_Oil_Audit and #The_Fruit_Handful_Trap, because 'perfect days' are built on measured execution, not good intentions.
