I am only saying this to provide proper grounding and motivation. I know you update because you believe you accomplished something. But I hope you take the constructive criticism. It’s lackluster progress at best on the beard. You could do so much more. It’s looked better previously.

Ya know, I'm gonna be honest man...
The beard life just ain't for me all the time.


All seriousness though, it just sucks because I gotta shave to keep my EHS manager from giving me the riot act because I need to maintain respirator readiness for my job sadly.

Okay so I'll be honest I haven't touched weights in about a month now.
Now that I've been on a normal people schedule, weekends off and all that jazz I've been doing so much around the house, catching up on all of the things I've been unable to catch up on for the last 3 years of working two jobs.

I'm not ashamed of it, honestly it's been an amazing reset mentally.

Starting Tuesday I'll be working 10 days straight, 12 hour days.
After that I'll be spending two weeks traveling to the west coast for work and then back to another 10 days of 12 hour shits.

I'll be way behind where I want to be but I'm happy with it.

Happy is what matters. Enjoy the time out of the gym.
