Not a morning person. Never will be. But the rec center is basically empty at 7, and if I go before class it happens. If I wait until after, it doesn’t. Eleven weeks in a row now. Some weeks I swim instead of lifting and it still counts, because the streak belongs to the goal…
This week’s prompt: name one place you want to visit more this week, and one you want to visit less. Saying it out loud (well, in writing) makes it real. I’ll start: more library, fewer 1 a.m. drive-thru runs. Slow and steady.
Got to the gym at 5:30 and every rack was taken, so I turned around. It didn’t count as a visit, which annoyed me for about a minute, but it was a two-minute stop. Passing by isn’t going. Went back at 9 and it was empty. Lesson learned: 5:30 is everyone’s time.
Twelve minutes each way, past the big lawn, headphones in. By the time I get there I’m already in a better mood. The workout itself is fine. The walk is the part I’d miss.
First week my gym goal hit 3 of 3, and I never opened the app at the gym. The visits just showed up on their own. Honestly the best part was not having one more thing to remember. Next goal: keep it going through midterms.
You’ve reached the end
