Day 5 – Battling the Snooze Button
📅 Day Count Check-In Five days down, ninety-five to go. Today started off with the heroic intent of waking up at 4:30 AM, only to be immediately sabotaged by my greatest enemy—the snooze button. One blink and it was 8 AM. Epic fail, indeed. Still, instead of spiraling into existential dread (tempting as it was),…
Day 4 -🚶♂️ The Walk of Mild Discomfort
Last night I ambitiously extended our family walk into a borderline expedition. It began innocently enough—with me making what I considered a brilliantly witty “stick and carrot” joke (a reference to yesterday’s article on bribery). My comedic genius was, unfortunately, not appreciated by my better half. After a few exaggerated eye-rolls and audible sighs, she…
Day 3 – The Shoulder Mutiny & The Minecraft Bribery Pact 🎮💪
☕ Running on Fumes (and Dumb Choices) Yesterday’s workday felt like trudging through molasses while wearing ankle weights made of regret. I spent most of it trying to stay awake without the assistance of my usual caffeine IV drip. Why? Because I’ve decided to detox like a responsible grown-up who values “natural energy.” Spoiler: I…

🛌 Day 2 – The Bed Tried to Kill Me
Let’s just get this out of the way: waking up early is still garbage. https://www.tiktok.com/@rewiredwithdrew/video/7488663117468060974/?asdfasd Sure, the workout felt easier today—only some shoulder soreness remains—but peeling myself out of bed was like trying to claw my way out of a black hole made of memory foam and regret. I knew snoozing was a trap. I…
Day 1: Sore, Stubborn, and Showing Up Anyway
This morning sucked. Not in a catastrophic, everything-is-burning way—but in that silent, sneaky way where your bed feels like a warm coffin and your brain feeds you excuses like,“Just one more hour, then you’ll feel better.” https://www.tiktok.com/@rewiredwithdrew/video/7488291080425803050?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7483723236716873246 I didn’t want to get up. I hit snooze. I stared at the ceiling. But the truth is,…

📅 Waiting for the Perfect Day: My ADHD Procrastination in Action
I have a special kind of procrastination, courtesy of my ADHD. It’s not your typical lazy, run-of-the-mill “I’ll do it later” nonsense. No, mine is fancy. It demands the cosmos align perfectly. It insists on Mondays or nice, neat, round-numbered dates. Why? Who the hell knows—maybe I’m just weird. But let’s face it—if you’ve got…

🚫 Motivation is a Scam (Sorry, Not Sorry)
Look, we’ve all been there. You watch a few motivational YouTube videos, buy some expensive gear, post about your “big plans” on social media, and boom—you’re ready to conquer the world. Until day five hits, you’re sore, cranky, and still haven’t magically transformed into Chris Hemsworth. And just like that, motivation vanishes faster than pizza…

https://www.tiktok.com/@rewiredwithdrew/video/7485757613133597994 Let’s get this out of the way:I’m not naturally disciplined. I don’t wake up at 5am and say “can’t wait to grind.” I don’t crave the gym. I don’t eat clean because it’s “fun.”I’m more likely to eat peanut butter with a spoon over the sink at midnight and call it dinner. So no,…

How I plan to tackle 100 days of not being a fat ass and 100 days of learning a new language at the same time
So, apparently losing 50 pounds in 100 days isn’t as simple as wishing really hard and swapping soda for diet soda—who knew? Since my casual approach of “I’ll eat fewer chips tomorrow” hasn’t exactly paid off, I’ve begrudgingly decided to implement an actual structured plan. Yes, structured, as in, with timings and everything. Thanks, John…
