Everything I do — design, thinking, building — runs through this machine. So I take care of it, train it, study it. The body responds to consistency, not intensity. The numbers below are what showed up after a year of doing the work, every day, without negotiating with myself.
Highlights from a year of showing up. Not goals — receipts. The kind of evidence that's only built one rep, one meal, one morning at a time.
I train because clarity costs effort. Every session is a deposit into a calmer, sharper version of me later in the day.
The current routine is built around four lifts a week, two days of zone-2 cardio, and one mobility/recovery session. Nothing exotic. The exotic part is doing it for years without skipping.
I'm not chasing aesthetics. I'm chasing the kind of body that can carry whatever the next decade decides to put on it — work, travel, stress, joy. Strength is the floor everything else stands on.
Eating is one of the few decisions you make three times every day. So I made it boring on purpose — a small set of meals I cook well, in rotation, that I genuinely look forward to.
The pattern is simple: animal protein, plants, fat, salt. Mostly things my grandmother would recognize as food. I cook almost everything myself; that's both cheaper and more honest about what I'm putting into my body.
I write up the meals I keep returning to in the journal — recipes, why they work, what I changed.
