What Went Well

  • 5/5 daily habits — second clean sweep in a row (Mon + Wed)
  • Bike workout all targets hit: RPM 89 (85-95 ✓), HR 130 (<150 ✓), 12.27 mi (up from 10.12 last week)
  • Protein crushed at 229g, fiber hit target at 36g
  • Substack note posted first thing (kept the commitment)
  • Saved the day with late-night productivity after rough afternoon
  • Dinner out with wife

What Went Poorly

  • Calories way over (~4,815 vs 2,500 target) — dinner out was the main hit. Chips, Coke, and fries added ~560 empty calories on top of the enchiladas
  • Struggled to get out of the house in the morning
  • Lost focus in the afternoon after coming home early to avoid traffic — too many distractions at home
  • Late-night productivity will hurt sleep — the cycle continues (late night → bad sleep → slow morning → early afternoon exit → home distractions → late night)
  • Did not cancel Run Comfy membership

Top 3 for Tomorrow

  1. Finish merging 5 metric PRs (critical path for prod launch)
  2. Write and send Brendan’s recommendation letter (early easy win)
  3. Continue startup task list (CloudWatch, Google login, system diagram)

Workout: Thursday = Run day Remember: Scale in front of dresser tonight. Weigh in tomorrow.
