Lazy Sunday. And honestly, we all deserved it after so much traveling.
I slept long. Vitals felt good. I noticed my weight is slowly increasing, and so is body fat. Nothing alarming, but it made me reflect. I probably need to cut back on drinking and increase cardio sessions. Awareness without panic.
Healthy breakfast, then watching the Olympic gold medal match in hockey. A good way to start the day.
After that, massage. Strong one. My shoulders and back were extremely tense, and my left leg too. The release made a big difference. I felt much better afterward.
Light lunch. Everything felt on track.
Some work in the afternoon, grocery shopping, and a FaceTime call with a friend. That lifted my mood more than expected. It’s always good to reconnect with people you love.
Back home, I did a quick swimming session. I felt strong in the water, moving faster with better stamina. Maybe my technique is improving. Or maybe I’m just getting more comfortable again.
Came back home feeling great. The pain was smaller today, so after dinner I decided to do a bit of physio. Nothing intense. Squats, glutes, quad activation. Just enough to remind the body what it’s capable of.
Ice and sleep to finish the day.
A lazy but healthy day. Exactly what I needed to reset.
