I'm that friend that you can text at 5am from the gym to report what you're working on that day and can expect a response and feedback.

Sadly those engagements sometimes evaporate by February.

Morning #Nostr fam. Git sum!

Perhaps this sounds strange but for many years I have watched the โ€œNew Years Resolutionistsโ€ go marching around my suburb for the first few months of the year (yes often until Feb) and while I know it wonโ€™t last I canโ€™t help admiring their resolve in doing it repeatedly, every year. So while I know it wonโ€™t last I keep the naive hope that this time perhaps theyโ€™ll succeed

Yes โ˜๐Ÿพโ˜๐Ÿพโ˜๐Ÿพโ˜๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐ŸŽฏ โ˜๐Ÿพโ˜๐Ÿพโ˜๐Ÿพ. I experience the same. I try to be encouraging, especially with those that matter to me. But until you make it your lifestyle, it's just a phase. A "New Year's Resolution" phase.

absolutely! It has to be a real lifestyle change rather than just a resolution. The โ€œwhyโ€ needs to be strong ๐Ÿ’ช

๐Ÿ’ฏx๐Ÿ’ฏ ya gotta be ๐Ÿ’ฏ resolved with your "why".๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿซ‚

My โ€œwhyโ€ turned out to be rather silly (to others) but so far it has stood strong compared to my previous attempts when I used more altruistic motivation ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

I'm in similar camp Catty. As long as you're being real w/yourself, it matters little how it looks/sounds to anyone else. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿซ‚

This is why I think lifting is over rated, as someone who was a body builder in college. Doing bjj at a dojo inherently ties your fitness to a social aspect so not only are you accountable to your teammates, you push each other's progress forward each class.

I've done a little of most (as an amateur and pro) at different points in my life. What they all share in common is discipline and commitment. If you're on the mat or the pumpatorium at 5am, You're probably not out drinking late the night before and You're probably being mindful of what you put in your body.
