Monday Check In

I was looking back through my training log this morning to figure out what’s been going on and what I should aim for this week. Lately, I’ve just been busy, and it’s been affecting my workouts.

In many ways, that’s okay. There’s a lot more I need to be doing outside the gym—stacking wood, shoveling, all the winter prep that doesn’t count as a workout but definitely counts as work.

As I scanned through my log, something caught my eye: I never train on Wednesdays anymore.

Curious, I scrolled further back… and realized I haven’t trained on a Wednesday since the middle of August. Nearly four months. Here I’ve been, beating myself up for not prioritizing time to train mid-week, and the truth is, Wednesday has quietly become my rest day.

So this week, I’m keeping it simple:
I’m training today, I’m training tomorrow, and I’m definitely taking Wednesday off.

Have a good start to the week!
