Day 67 down. 🔥
Current commitments:
Simple & Sinister — 5x/week
Food logging — daily
Took measurements this morning and I wasn’t surprised to see I’m swollen and inflamed.
Between being on antibiotics for the last 10 days, clearing a tooth infection, going cold turkey off ni****ne and dealing with withdrawal… I can tell my body is a little off 😏
But honestly? I’m not too worried about it.
THIS IS LIFE. Weight loss doesn’t happen in a straight line.
Over the years I’ve seen days like this crush clients because they’ve worked so hard and they expect linear results. That’s not how bodies work.
There are different types of stress in life. In a nutshell it comes down to:Eustress = “good stress” that feels exciting, manageable, and helps you grow.
Distress = “bad stress” that feels overwhelming, out of control, and chips away at health over time.
What I love about Ray Peat is he gave us a framework to work with inside that reality.
Right now my goal is to keep detoxing from ni****ne, doing as much as I can to support metabolism and lower the distress… while keeping Simple & Sinister as my eustress — consistent, not overtrained.
One thing I’m noticing: I feel restless, like my body wants more movement. So I may need to add more movement, sun, and general activity to help with the dopamine/adrenaline shifts.
Yesterday was a rest day because I spent the day meal prepping and I’d already done 5 workouts in a row.
Back to it today.
DM me “PROOF” if you want in.
