If you're reading this for the first time, start here.
Project Resurrection is a 9-week return to form — physically, mentally, and beyond.

Morning: Starting Point

Woke up a little off today.
Not physically.
Mentally.

Still — I honored the blueprint.

  • Weighed myself.
  • Fasted like I committed.
  • Ate a clean first meal: 9 eggs, olive oil, multigrain toast.
  • Knocked out a 30-minute Peloton ride.

Then around 3 PM, the headache hit.
Hard.

It reminded me of a deeper truth:
Consistency isn’t just discipline.
It’s also listening.

Today, my body wasn’t punishing me.
It was signaling: You didn’t fuel enough for the work you asked of me.


Afternoon: Frustration Point

There was a moment — a flicker — where old patterns tried to claw back:

"You screwed up. Today's ruined. Might as well blow it."

I heard it.
But I didn’t fold.

I used my tools — awareness, honesty, perspective.
This wasn’t a failure of willpower.
It was a mismatch: energy burned vs. energy replenished.

Simple.
Fixable.
No drama required.


Evening: Acceptance Point

By nightfall, something clicked.

No guilt.
No panic.
Just clarity.

Today wasn’t perfect.
But it was consistent in spirit.

I stayed in the fight.
I course-corrected mid-flight.
I honored the larger mission over a temporary bump.

That’s the real game here.
That’s what Project Resurrection is really about.


Key Lessons from Day 6

  • Consistency > Perfection.
  • Listen early — not after the alarms start blaring.
  • Course-correct without guilt.
  • Protect momentum like it’s oxygen.

Closing Thought

Perfection is brittle.
Consistency compounds.
And today — even at my roughest — I added another brick to the foundation.

No one else needed to see it.
I know it’s there.
