@Theresa Walstra thank you! I expect it slow down a lottttt. I am trying to mentally prepare myself for when I plateau

Also, an addictive personality can sometimes be a useful tool when directed at non-destructive purposes lol

I've always been pretty active regardless of how I was physically feeling (for me, soreness and achiness is just another Tuesday), and I was never a *terrible* eater (my issues there were more about portion control and moderation), but I've pretty much always had issues with sleeping and actually feeling energetic without having to force myself into that mindset. With my health issues and stuff, I realize that a lot of that is out of my control, and I just sorta have to deal with it (story of my life lol). At least in the physical realm of things. I also happen to have absolutely crippling FOMO, which has definitely lead to terrible habits, sleep especially. Though I have gotten a bit better with that!

The others have given you an idea or two on how to restart, but I wanted to specifically add this... Don't expect yourself to be perfect. You know that saying, "to err is to be human". We all make mistakes. We all slip up. We all struggle. It's okay to get knocked down. What matters most is that you just keep on getting back up. As long as you keep trying, you're doing infinitely better than if you were doing nothing.

But did you weigh yourself wearing the medal? 🤣

@John Marchese Wear the medal in your next submission for the weekly check-in thing!

I was a Selkirk advocate for a few years and ran the gamut of their paddles. I currently have been going back and forth between the Friday Aura Pro and the 11SIX24 Power2. Mostly because Rachel Rohrabacher and Dekel Bar are my two favorite players. Fun fact... I've unintentionally used the same exact paddle as Rachel for like three years 🤣
