This morning my partner set his alarm for 5AM to hit the gym. Normally he works out on Saturdays… BUT this weekend he has other duties he needs to handle, so if he skipped today — the workout wasn’t happening. Alarm goes off. He’s awake. Not motivated. Very tempted to crawl back into bed. 😴 I gave him a gentle nudge: “You’re already up. It’s not like you’re going back into deep sleep. Go to the gym. Do TWO sets. Progressive overload. That’s it.” He sighs… “Urrrggghhh fine I’ll get up and go to the gym.” 😂 Why did I push? Because: • Consistency > convenience • Habits > mood • And we’re having steak dinner Saturday 🥩😏 I simply reminded him — balance. Not in a nagging way. Not controlling. Just reinforcing structure. If Saturday is full of responsibilities + steak dinner, then Friday is the anchor. He came home and I asked, “How was the gym?” He said, “It was good… I still feel like I smell like Korean BBQ and I’m still so full.” 🤣 But he went. That’s the win. He worked hard. He adjusted his schedule. He honored consistency. Sometimes loving someone is helping them build habits — not enabling the snooze button. And I’m learning how to teach structure without becoming the nagging partner. That balance matters too. Friday reminder: You don’t need perfect motivation. You need commitment.

A month with many diferent emotions. A Roller coaster.. But I need to evaluate and adjust. Weight: wonder if it is a platau.. or just not enough effort to cut down on calories. I think it is the latter but the reason? Well I was stress eating after I had been to the doctor. I eat when too tired, to gain energy to go on, when thinking too much! Nothing unusual but a little too much now.. As I said, the Roller coaster of emotions has been playing with my head this month. I have to adjust my calorie intake now and think even more about what I actually eat in a day. Back to the spread sheet calculating with my new weight in mind! Current weight: 93,9 kg Training: I have been walking every weekend, despite the weather and when weather has alowed it. A win! The longest route: 12,8 km. I have been to the public swimming pool once a week, swimming 500 - 600 m, enjoying both the turkish and the regular sauna. Good for my joints! Thursday, I even did pull ups, in the water, at the starting podium (??), every fourth swimming length. I have also been to the gym twice, lifting light weights and using the mashines. It was nice to get started! And before quitting last time, I did dead hang 2×20 sec!! But the best with that gym? It has a sauna 🫠 Medicine.. yep, I now take medicine before going to bed, to help me with the nerv pain and I sleep better. Mayby I'm just even more consistent going to bed in time.. But.. A clear win! One side effect of the medicine is gaining weight so I have to watch out for that one. The high blood presure is back too so medicine for that means less headache and also better sleep. But I know that if I get more movement in I can get rid of that and the blood presure stabilice on its own. The biggest win now: the spring is coming and I can and want to be outside more!
