What 80% Looks Like When You’re Sick

 Flu: that was… something.

Me: not impressed.

Being down for a few days had a funny way of reframing this reset for me.

Even while sick, I was still able to meet about 80% of what I’m aiming for right now:

• sleeping 7–8 hours

• a simple morning mindset

• a balanced breakfast

• watching the daily educational video

Movement didn’t happen. And that was okay.

I went into this reset pretty hard on myself — frustrated about inconsistency in the gym, occasional “toddler-level” eating choices, and feeling generally out of shape.

The past few days reminded me that perfection isn’t required — and consistency doesn’t have to be constant to matter.

What I’m noticing now is that I had a stronger foundation than I realized. One that supported recovery instead of fighting it.

That — along with modern medicine — made all the difference.

Onward.
