Quality Level: N/A
Observations/Intel: Yesterday, was feeling pretty off, so I decided to bag it entirely, rather than push through. That was the good move as I was ready to go this morning. Legs were a little stiff in the beginning, but after some good warm-up, I was able to run cadence a bit higher. Air was pushed a bit but mostly because it is at a decidedly not great level. Fitness, in many ways, is a direct measure of consistency, so getting that dialed in to the extent possible is more the focus. I suppose in a way it's like doing the actual lifts, wherein using proper form is more important than the actual weights used. Speaking of weight, I probably also need to do a weigh-in at some future point as well.

Observations/Intel: Didn't keep track of the time, so I'm kind of guessing. In February, I started feeling under the weather, which persisted through most of March, while my work situation steadily deteriorated to the point that it seemed pretty likely it was damaging my mental health. At the end of February, that former company actually wound up costing me a bunch of money in an impromptu reversal, solidly establishing they could not be trusted and I could not continue on with them. So, I left at the end of March, then took the time after to decompress as well as to start streaming video games on Twitch and YT, which is kind of like its own job. 

My mental state is much improved now and the tendency was to vacillate, particularly the last couple months between wanting to get back into fitness and the fucking gym to go get diesel, etc. and to swill booze. COVID in January of last year has created a lot of...changes to my system, however, one of which is how my body relates to alcohol, so that part is pretty much a non-starter now. 

Anyway, good motivation today. Legs have dropped off a bit, but, again after a couple kind of trashy months, I've overhauled the diet and am more intent now on pushing than in the past. I have some time before I necessarily will have to find a new gig, if this streaming shit doesn't go, and I really need to push the unfattening equation harder...so, will do that. If my awful Air is outpacing Legs rather handily, such as today, we have a definite issue...I'm going to try for every day other than Tuesday and Friday on the Air Dyne and see how that goes.
