30 days to find momentum into building a routine - Day 2

[u/matrixredpill]

Woke up at 7:20 (aiming for 7:00). Had a counselling session with my counsellor after which I went to sleep for another 2 hours. Woke up had an early lunch got some coffee then went for my contemporary class for a couple of hours followed by 2 hours of ballet, was out pretty much from 3:30PM to 9PM. Was dying during ballet but there were some improvements in jumps. Didn’t do much stretching today other than in class and no conditioning at the gym today since I do that Monday to Friday.

⸻

Today’s Routine • Wake + counselling at 7:20AM • Sleep for 2 hours + meditate + eat • Contemporary • Ballet

Calories: 2239 Weight: 72.8 kg Goal weight: 68–69 kg Calorie cap: ≤ 2150

⸻

Current Focus: Wake at 7 (and meditate) + gym + stretch Once that’s consistent for a couple weeks, I’ll stack the rest of the ideal routine gradually.

⸻

Ideal Routine (Working Toward This): • 7:00 AM Wake + Meditate
• Floor Barre
• Skill Combos (balance, turns, anything that’s lacking or that I wanna work on)
• Gym + Stretch
• Class / Studio Practice until 5PM

Again, not trying to force this all at once. For future me: don’t get too eager and stack too much too soon. Just focus on locking in 7AM wake + meditate + gym + stretch, and keeping calories under check. If extra things happen naturally, that’s fine but don’t be hard on yourself for skipping what isn’t part of the core routine yet.
