But then there’s food. I haven’t quite found my rhythm there yet. My movement is consistent, and I generally feel good during the day, but I still tend to drift toward the easier, less helpful choices. That’s where things start to wobble.
When I eat poorly, I feel it almost immediately. But I rarely connect that evening slump, the 7:30 PM yawn that hits like a wall, back to what I’ve eaten. Look at the photo. That isn't just being "tired"; that is my system shutting down because it didn't get the right fuel. It’s a quiet signal that I'm off balance.
I’m not writing this as a finished story or a guide. I’m still in the middle of figuring it out. I read, I experiment, I know what’s supposed to work, but applying it consistently still takes real attention.
The Continuous Process
The Attainable State isn’t a finish line. It’s a way of being that adjusts as life does. That’s why I’m not following a strict diet or chasing “clean eating.” That’s the all-or-nothing trap I’ve already fallen into too many times.
My body is giving me signals, and I suspect yours does too. The challenge isn’t knowing what’s right; it’s creating enough space to actually listen.
So, I’ll keep experimenting. Keep paying attention. Keep aiming for that middle ground where effort and ease can coexist.
Because I’d rather face the small daily struggle now than the bigger one later.
To be continued.
