Prelude - Week 1 Day 1 - Of Mice And Men

I've found I get sidetracked when I have a lot of irons in the fire. That's no surprise. What surprised me was the realization I came to just last week.

I'll use hygiene as an example. A homeless hippie can slack on shaving and bathing for weeks or months at a time only to have the situation completely reversed when reintroduced to a razor, a shower and a stick of deodorant. This is an extreme example I bring up to prove a point. In my own life, I sometimes go three or four days without shaving, though I make it a point to shower every day because I feel dirty if I don't. While I may look scruffy after four days without a shave, I can reverse that completely the next time I take a razor to my face.

Fitness, on the other hand, requires persistent effort. Missing a day in your routine puts you that day behind.

With the cold months upon us again, there isn't much I can do outdoors so it's probably just best to be bored doing something beneficial as opposed to merely vegetating and being a mess when the weather finally improves.
