The effort & the effect 7

Another month that’s been pretty productive, though it got cut short again. I’m heading out for vacation now, and my gym membership ends this month. The scale’s showing a step backward, but honestly, progress feels solid. I dropped protein supplements to once a day with creatine—didn’t notice much difference. My physique and energy are only getting better. I’ve shifted my workouts to about 80% calisthenics and picked up some gear to keep pushing in that direction.
