I’ve always enjoyed fitness, but it’s only recently I’ve realised I was putting a ceiling on my own progress.
From my late 20s until very recently, drinking six or seven days a week and DJing until 3am multiple nights was normal. I still trained, so I told myself it balanced out.
It didn’t.
Showing up was never the problem. The hours outside the gym were quietly undoing some of the work I was putting in.
I’m not chasing perfection now. I’m just making sure my habits support the person I keep saying I want to become.
Turns out you can’t out-train a lifestyle that’s working against you.
Anyone else had to learn this the hard way?
