Not because I was \u201cdone,\u201d but because I wanted to absorb the work and make space for the next phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, I stayed consistent with fasting\u2014but I&nbsp;<strong>changed the timing of my meals<\/strong>&nbsp;to avoid settling into one predictable pattern. The goal was to keep things flexible and sustainable, not robotic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also shifted my training emphasis: more&nbsp;<strong>bodyweight workouts and resistance training<\/strong>&nbsp;to support muscle retention and keep improving body composition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The travel + wellness thread<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the part of training people often skip in their stories: the week after the big effort, when nothing looks dramatic, but everything matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s easy to keep running when momentum is high. It\u2019s harder\u2014and more valuable\u2014to step back, look at what\u2019s working, and adjust before your body forces the adjustment for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For me, this week was about building a system I can carry through real life: business travel, changing schedules, and weeks where training time has to be efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What I learned<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest lesson was that progress isn\u2019t only about adding more.
