Goals for the week are hitting the gym *3 but efficiently. It sounds dumb, but so far the big advantage to me for doing higher reps fewer sets is that means fewer tests between sets, so less time spent overall in the gym. I’m enjoying it. Currently at working weight of 195 on DL, goal 275. Over the last year every time I start to make real progress something forces me to take a break (injury, time crunch, gym closure) but I’m gonna make this happen.
Goals outside the gym are mundane, but discipline is what moves the ball down the field. Daily prayer and contemplation, two hours of language study for the week, keep reading, do my chores. It’s the first of the month so tallying up the budget. I’ve been budgeting for years now, and last month hit a point of change. We looked at it and I said, “It’s time to buy a house. Rent is the biggest item every month. I’m tired of negotiating over what kind of bread to buy when the rent is eating me alive. I at least want to get some equity for what I’m paying. We have enough for a down payment and good jobs.” So this week we begin the process of pre-approval for a mortgage.
