Another less-than-stellar block as we all recovered from what’s now known as “near-COVID” and I learned to find my footings in the back-to-office new world normal.

The graphic above doesn’t do justice to the roller coaster that was this past 10 days. The main antagonist in this short plot twist was the discovery of a new restaurant option when I exited the elevator in our office building. For years I had a reliably terrible food choice, making it easy to avoid the call of eating out. But now, now there’s a great option with fantastic food. So yah.

Onward!

My 2nd 10 days were not as successful as my first 10. And…spoiler…my next 10 aren’t looking so hot either.

I know excuses aren’t interesting, but that’s kind of still my thing (I’m working on it…I even have a coach!). Our house has been ravaged by illness. The COVID rapid tests say “negative” but we had all the classic symptoms, including the loss of taste/smell (my wife). We’re on the road to recovery now and emerging back into the world.

Green is positive change, yellow is no change, red is negative change…all aided by the default Microsoft Excel color coding.

Back on track now, with the unwitting help of a TikTok influencer. I’ve been getting up earlier (5AM) and hitting the gym in the morning. I had been trying to do the gym in the evening but struggled to find the will. I find it much easier in the morning before the day has started beating me down.

Here’s the view of tracking daily – and also grouped into 10 days, 30 days, 150 days, 300 days, 750 days, and ultimately the entire 1500 days. These boxes don’t all have to be green – and they won’t be – but the more green, the quicker I’ll reach my objectives.

Onward !
