I'm really enjoying the 15 minutes of final stretching in the gym; they're good maintenance.

I'm heading into my final two weeks of training at the gym, and all the adjustments I've made are making the workouts smoother and less grueling, but also more rewarding in terms of results, so I'm satisfied.

Today was leg day at the gym, and it went well. I'll have no problem getting to 12 reps per set for each exercise next week.
I had to go from 60 to 120 seconds of rest, but that's fine.

I was undecided about doing my mobility routine too, but the walk to the supermarket is enough.
It's important to understand when enough is enough.

We went for a walk and then came home for some mobility, bringing up to 10 reps for each exercise you get to 6 min which is a good fast mobility workout.

"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change. ~Carl Rogers"
Part of me likes the quote used today.
But part of me is thinking about the prep-work we're doing for an inspection at my work place. And one of the things they hammer in is if you don't know something, don't just say you don't know. You say, "I don't know. But I know how to find out." And then do so.

@NightWolf714 I think the "public" and private spheres sometimes differ. Personally, admitting you don't know something is the foundation for improvement; that's where you start; there's no point in doing something different otherwise. In the public or professional sphere, for example, you can't do this, not entirely, otherwise it's seen as incompetence.
It's a bit of a paradox in our society: we think we know a lot, yet we care very little.

Those look great!Guess where the third pan of vegetarian lasagna with lentil ragù and vegan béchamel sauce is...

In my belly
What do you think of the vegan béchamel? I feel like I've encountered some odd behaviors when baking with milk substitutes, since there are some chemical interactions that don't work with perfectly with a 1:1 substitution.

I was a little tired, but the gym workout went well. This is the last week of this training cycle, and I'll finish on Friday morning, even though I actually already completed the 12 reps, 3 sets, scheduled for all exercises last Friday. Anyway, I'll pretend nothing happened and finish on schedule; I'm not obsessive-compulsive at all...

You need to take some precautions, such as using unsweetened plant-based milks—the best ones are oat and soy—but above all, you need to work a little with spices and starch to find the right flavor and consistency.
Once you find the right combination, if they didn't tell you, you'd never guess you were eating a vegetable béchamel, and it's much easier to digest.

Today is a good day for training:
I successfully completed another 7-week training cycle at the gym.
I indulged in the temptation of trying the 32kg kettlebell for the first time in my life. 10 reps for 5 sets, the kettlebell at chest height from the first rep, all alternating with push-ups, and I'm very satisfied with myself.
I also tried a few exercises for the next training cycle to adjust weights, reps, and form.

I'll use Fit December as an Advent calendar, without peeking at the next day. It seems like a fun idea, and of course I'll try to always do it every day, using the challenge as a warmup.

I'm already feeling better physically than yesterday, but I fully intend to take every day I can for active recovery.
I'm a little sad that I put heavy clubbell training on hold, but between three mornings at the gym, two evenings of Muay Thai training, Fit December, and this month's challenge, I think it's more than fine. More on that later.

I used to buy this real advent calendar with little chocolates, and allow myself only to take the chocolate of the day if I finished the Daily Dare

From the fact that I'm a little sad that the gym is closed tomorrow, I deduce that:
either I'm starting to enjoy my strength training at the gym,
or I'm extremely creature of habit,
or even both.
