Day three check in on my three viral fitness trends

Sam B1 Comment

See Doing What TikTok Tells Me: A Two-Week Experiment for the backstory.

1. Okay,  I like the 9 daily movements upon waking. I’ve done them every day so far.

Little life hack: I do them while the coffee is brewing.

2. Cheddar likes the after dinner digestive walls. No issues.  Done all three days. 

Cheddar!

3. I’m not so sure about the 30-30-30 thing. That’s 30 minutes of exercise and 30 grams of protein 30 minutes after waking. 

West’s the wrinkle? I take medication that I need to take first thing in the morning and not eat for an hour.  So 30 grams of protein in the first 30 minutes isn’t happening.  I do have 30 grams of protein when I do eat though. 

The 30 minutes of exercise is also hit or miss. It’s easy on Mondays when I ride my bike on Zwift.  Tuesday is personal training very early. But I missed Wednesday because  I had to travel to Toronto on a very early GO train.

I’ll keep trying!

Aiming for better mornings

Sam B

You don’t need to be on a self improvement quest. Neither do I. Sometimes the way we do things isn’t the best, but it works, it’s our way and that’s good enough. Not everything in our lives has to be perfect.

All that said, I’m aiming for better mornings as we emerge into warmer, brighter spring weather.

No more hitting the snooze button a half dozen times. I’ve struggled with the snooze button before. No more doom scrolling before the day even begins. Wordle, yes. But Twitter can wait until after coffee.

Morning hours are precious. They’re my best hours of the day.

I’d like to have spring and summer morning time for early writing and riding. Maybe even morning yoga.

Wish me luck!

How about you? Do you have a time of day that needs a spring tune up?
