Day 3 – Primed for Power
Weight: 206.8 lbs
Status: Clear. Charged. Ready to crush.
If you're reading this for the first time, start here.
Project Resurrection is a 9-week return to form—physically, mentally, and beyond.
Day 3 is different. It doesn’t scream. It doesn’t demand attention. But it lands.
Because by Day 3, the body isn’t confused—it’s adapting. The fog starts lifting. The friction fades.
And what’s left is momentum—earned, not faked.
A Physical Signal of Change
This morning: 206.8 lbs.
That’s 2.8 lbs down since Day 1.
Water weight? Glycogen? Inflammation? Probably.
But it still matters.
It’s confirmation that the system is responding.
The inputs are working. The machine is recalibrating.
I feel it—in my face, my joints, my focus.
Inflammation is exiting. Clarity is entering.
Training to Reset, Not Impress
Today’s workout didn’t need hype.
It needed presence.
I started with a Joe Rogan-inspired warm-up on the BOSU ball:
4 sets of 20 push-ups and 20 squats. Simple. Functional. Grounded.
Then came two rounds of kettlebell circuits + 10 minutes of Peloton HIIT + 10-minute cooldown.
It wasn’t random. It was precision under fatigue.
I wasn’t chasing PRs. I was chasing control.
When I racked the last bell, I didn’t feel broken.
I felt reset.
The Midday Reset That Changed Everything
Around noon, I felt a pull—not to scroll or snack, but to pause.
So I laid down.
40 minutes. No phone. No TV. No input.
Just silence.
I didn’t sleep. But my nervous system did.
That moment shifted me from sympathetic to parasympathetic.
From “fight” to “repair.” From doing… to being.
When I got up?
I wasn’t groggy. I wasn’t anxious.
I was centered.
When the Craving Hit—and I Didn’t Flinch
Afternoon craving: trail mix. Sweet. Salty. Technically “clean.”
But something felt off.
So I asked:
Is this hunger—or is this habit?
That question gave me power.
I drank water. Waited. Let it pass.
No drama. No story.
Just a quiet win.
Just agency over impulse.
Micro Wins That Compound
- Trained with purpose, not ego
- Ate with intention, not emotion
- Rested without guilt
- Craved and didn’t cave
- Stayed present without chasing dopamine
Day 3 Journal – The Work Underneath
Mental Discipline
I adjusted mid-workout without ego. Swapped a brutal kettlebell third round for HIIT and cooldown. No shortcuts. Just leadership.
Hunger Awareness
It wasn’t real hunger—it was habit. I rewrote the loop. Stillness replaced snacking.
Body Check-In
“Thank you for unlocking me. And thank you for locking in.”
My body felt fueled, not fogged. Everything just… worked.
Mental Shift
No more negotiation. No more emotional eating.
I’m moving with systems, not hope. And it’s working.
Baseline Projection
If today becomes the baseline, everything changes.
No hacks. No shortcuts. Just values, practiced daily.
Internal Dialogue
The trail mix whisper came. I didn’t ignore it—I interrogated it.
And the answer was easy: No compromise. Stay aligned.
Closing Thought
Day 3 wasn’t about heroics.
It was about self-leadership—through sweat, stillness, and split-second decisions.
This is the work no one claps for.
But it’s the work that builds everything else.
Brick by brick—the resurrection continues.
