Day 24 is in the books, and today was all about making adjustments that actually make sense for where I’m at right now.
I went into this phase of my journey feeling strong and motivated, especially after adding the 10 lb weighted vest into my routine. It’s been a great way to level up my walks and push myself a little harder. But today, reality hit me in a very real (and very humbling) way.
Living on the 3rd floor is no joke.
Climbing those stairs once? Fine. Twice a day? Manageable. But doing it while wearing an extra 10 pounds strapped to my body? Absolutely brutal. By the time I made it up, my legs were on fire, my lungs were working overtime, and I had one of those moments where I had to stop and think, “Okay… this might not be the smartest move.”
So today, I made a decision: I’m only wearing my weighted vest during my evening walks.
And honestly? It felt like the right call.
This journey isn’t about punishing myself or pushing to the point of burnout. It’s about consistency, sustainability, and learning how to work with my body instead of against it. The stairs alone are already a built-in workout, and adding extra weight on top of that—twice a day—was just too much for where I am right now.
My evening walk still felt strong, and wearing the vest then gave me that extra challenge I was looking for—without completely draining me earlier in the day.
If there’s one thing I’m really starting to understand, it’s that progress doesn’t come from doing the absolute most at all times. It comes from showing up, making smart choices, and adjusting when needed.
Today wasn’t about doing less—it was about doing better.
And I’m proud of that.
On to Day 25.
