2026: MeditationsOnMortality-7
July 1-31, 2026: I am now 3409 Days (approximately: 9 Years, 3 Month, 1 Days inclusive) on my workout streak (9APR2017).
Just to clarify (Sticky!): Over the period above, my workout streak refers to the fact that is that I have manage to do something physical each and everyday regardless of how I feel or where I am to maintain my fitness. I always do my Dailies and in addition - run, walk, row, cycle but usually run and walk, and depending on the day, I lift - upper body, lower body, or some type of hybrid. This is my long term program and I have been at it now religiously since around 2015, but in earnest since April-May of 2017.
Not too often I get to write on the actual 1st day of the month. Today, I am on 1 August: Each month when I get to this point, I keep pledging that I am going to find a faster and better way to do this, but then life intervenes and I go back to the old method - repeating the same process next month. This month I am going to make a concerted effort to change. I want to capture instances of my life, but I know I can do it better and more efficiently.
AREA 1: (I STOPPED HERE - FINISH UP LATER)
No entry for this period. I folded the update into August.
