Things are starting to move well-- consistently. I keep showing up, putting in the work, and it's finally starting to pay off. Been keeping up with my 5-10minutes a day of mobility/stretching in the mornings, and it seems to be making a huge difference. Just gotta make sure I don't repeat the cycle of: get healthy, stop doing what I did to get healthy, start hurting, repeat. I'm not a fan of New Years resolutions-- but 2016, I'd like to just get healthy and stay healthy, rather than riding the "acute injury" rollercoaster that seems so typical of Lifters.
