Despite all of today’s set backs from weather, to fatherhood, to temporary hot water outages in my building, I still went to the gym and got a good workout in along with some meal prepping. The next goal is sleep.

What standard have you been failing to enforce on yourself? I haven’t consistently enforced the standard of discipline over convenience. I rely too much on motivation instead of non-negotiable habits. Training happens, but discipline around sleep, recovery, and nutrition hasn’t always matched the effort I put into workouts. The standard should be: discipline even when no one’s watching. Where do you usually drift when no one’s watching? I drift into “almost disciplined” behaviour, under-fuelling on protein some days, doomscrolling instead of locking in, and telling myself I’ll “lock in tomorrow.” It’s not quitting, but it’s coasting just enough to slow progress. What does “locked in” actually look like for you over the next 30 days? Locked in means discipline first, feelings second. Training 4 days a week, hitting daily protein targets, prioritizing sleep and recovery - no exceptions or excuses.
