Building my Diabetes blog around CrossFit and living with Diabetes

For me, these essentials include eating well, taking care of myself, and staying committed to my fitness routine—whether it’s training, exercising, or doing CrossFit. When I have these basic pillars in place, I know I’m on the right track.

One area I aim to improve is practicing gratitude. While I do engage in it, my efforts have been sporadic. However, I recently got The 1% Diary by Steven Bartlett, which helps me focus on making small, incremental improvements each day. Starting tonight, I’m committing to this practice to build towards a better future, stacking those 1% gains consistently.

On to my training.

I keep things simple, following a structured routine that revolves around push, pull, and squat movements every other day. I incorporate sprints and accessory work, sometimes mixing in longer endurance sessions. My primary goal for 2025 is straightforward—consistency. I’m letting go of expectations and focusing purely on showing up with discipline, taking it one day at a time, just like I’ve learned in NA.
