    Summary of Today’s Show in 75 Words or Less, by ChatGPT 📜: I spent the day working on Emmy Fitness in Notion, not for money but because it’s genuinely fun. I’ve rediscovered hobbies like Yu-Gi-Oh!, puzzles, and coding, and it’s made me feel like a kid again. Organizing my card collection has been surprisingly exciting, and running has become a new challenge I’m fired up about. Today I ran another pain-free mile and explored mobility work at the gym. It’s refreshing having new goals and feeling reenergized.

I’m exploring. I’m fired up about new physical goals too, especially running. It’s all feeling fresh, and that’s something I’ve needed.

  • 582. Loving What I Do, New Fitness Goals, More Hours, More Work, Zoom Call

    👉🏼 https://linktr.ee/Allegiant.Excellence

    Podcast Summary (75 words or less): Had a short Zoom with Mina who seemed stressed, which limited our discussion and left me frustrated. I’ve been working unpaid extra hours and want to increase my hours and compensation. Lexi left again, and I started running to eventually join her in a marathon. My first timed mile was 12:14, a reality check. Still, I’m excited to change up my fitness goals. Coding projects are moving slowly. I’m more energized since quitting my job and feel like I’m on the right path.

    Notable Quotes From This Episode, by ChatGPT:

    • "I just want to be outside pushing myself, sweating my ass off to the point where I can't even breathe."
    • "If I'm in pain, I want nothing to do with it."
    • "One of the best decisions I've made in my adult life was to leave where I was currently working."
    • "Trying to figure something out now that doesn't need to be figured out for weeks or even months, that's stopping me from starting."

    Funny, Out of Context Quotes, by ChatGPT:

    • "Cowabunga, dude."
    • "Const ass equals 42."
    • "Went again today. It was actually really good. But they gave you a huge sandwich and it's just so expensive."
    • "Your boy just got a fucked up back and this bummer part is I have no idea how it happened."

    My Thoughts & Feelings for Today: I’m drained but still fired up. That Zoom call felt like a missed opportunity, which sucks after all the hours I’ve put in unpaid. I know I’m onto something special with this Mina project, and I just want to keep going and get paid fairly. Running stirred something in me. I’m craving new challenges, and I want to feel like an athlete again. I miss Lexi already, but her influence is pushing me in the right direction. I'm ready to build something real.

    What I Did Today: Zoom call with Mina, worked 3.5 hours for Brian and 4 hours for Mina, took Lexi to the airport, ran a mile at the track, did abs at an outdoor gym, ate Jersey Mike’s, did one coding lesson, experimented with coding in Notion, planned self-teaching curriculum, woke 7am, sleep around 11:30pm.

    Summary of Today’s Show in 75 Words or Less, by ChatGPT 📜:

    I walked through a Zoom call with the PT Dom team to review the client tracking spreadsheet I built. We aligned on tracking course logins and Facebook activity weekly, using checkboxes, automated percentages, and color-coded rows to flag client engagement. We discussed automations, a four-week summary view, optional monthly reports, and possible integration with ActiveCampaign. After the call, I realized the meeting was necessary. I also reflected on how much I now enjoy using Notion.

    Felt stressed today balancing graduation, surprise deadlines, and podcast uploads. I uploaded yesterday’s show late, realized my top podcast isn’t episode one anymore, and clocked four hours split between Mina and Brian. Graduation made me reflect on the last decade.

    Summary of Today’s Show in 75 Words or Less, by ChatGPT 📜:

    I just set up my new gold MacBook and started using it for everything—it’s noticeably faster. I talked through the upcoming week working for Mina, hoping to bump up to 3 hours daily to hit my financial goals. I’m debating cutting ties with Brian's chaotic group-chat-heavy gig. I mapped out my weekly schedule with coding, gym, and work blocks. I also brainstormed building my own beginner-friendly coding curriculum and possibly monetizing it. Big focus right now is debt payoff and using my time wisely.

    Summary of Today’s Show in 75 Words or Less, by ChatGPT 📜:

    Lexi ran her fastest and fifth half marathon today, and I got to surprise her in multiple spots with a posterboard. We chilled afterward with pizza and Couples Retreat.

Coding’s going strong and switching to JavaScript was the right move. New laptop feels symbolic of the new chapter post-job.
