trying this again today

Fell off for about 3 weeks between two rounds of job interviews and way too many late nights on a new game I probably shouldn’t admit to enjoying that much. Today felt like the first day back on track.

Got up at 6:50am instead of scrolling in bed, did the 10 minute shoulder and neck stretch routine my PT gave me a while back since work stress has been sitting right in my traps again, and took a 20 minute walk after lunch instead of just staying at my desk.

Skipped the evening workout I told myself I’d restart, wasn’t quite there yet, but swapped my afternoon coffee for water for once.

Nothing big, just easing back into the basics without turning it into a whole thing.

    6:50am after 3 weeks off is solid. my commute starts at 6am so mornings like that are rare. did skipping the workout feel risky?

    Glowbird said: did skipping the workout feel risky — honestly yeah a little, because usually my plan is do everything or nothing and the second I let one piece slide the whole day unravels, but this time I told myself the walk and the stretch were the actual non negotiables since the neck and shoulder tightness is what flares up hardest after a stressful stretch at work, and the workout was more

    the shoulder stretch thing caught my eye, does it loosen up right away or take a few tries…

    FreshFaceFriend said: does it loosen up right away or take a few tries — for me it took a few tries, not one and done. The first handful of times it honestly just felt like I was going through the motions, shoulders still felt tight by the afternoon, but I kept doing it every morning for about 10 days straight before I noticed the tightness in my traps wasn’t building back up as fast.
