Thematic Elements

Regarding this website, I have championed for this season's neutral tones and its focus on typography. And yet, I feel as though its spirit is lost. Not that anyone cares about that—what audience do I have (as if that was a motivator)? No, this place has always been my own oasis. I suppose in application, it is just a peg above a Word doc. When it comes to the passage of time, any aesthetics play the role of car wax. What is left after twenty years? It does amuse that in a post from June 4, 2003, I reference morning routines I previously did at "Bartlett Rec."

Recently, I have written about my desire to bring retrowave, something that ran in parallel to my 2018, 2019 and thereafter successes. Just the other day, my wife surprised me with a fantastic gift, a Stranger Things Retro Arcade Desk Mat. In the upcoming week, I should be rolling out something different, yet something that fits into that 2018/2019 theme, just evolving it to 2023.

Fitness

I did NOT fat fast yesterday. Oh, I nearly did! I was sitting at 3 grams of protein at 7:30 PM. But, with the holiday the next day, I chose another night of binges on Breaking Bad and chicken wings (no, they were not of Los Pollos Hermanos). Still, I managed to hit 78 grams of protein for the day, just 3 over my limit.

I suppose It is uncharacteristic of me to have a late night thereby skipping my morning routine, but I recognize that in this sixth week of training, things are different. The training will shift. I do not want to train to be trained to train at a gym.

My diet remains largely the same, though I look forward to the re-emergence of beef. There was just a bit of work to get through that 50 lb box of Gordon's chicken wings. The protein average is the lowest of all 32 Expeditions. At 211 grams of fat, I am at the middle: should I pull it back to 200 or ramp it up to 220?
