The Great Lock-In 2025: Week 13 Check-In

My Mantra: “Consistency over intensity. Progress over perfection.”

This Week’s Vibe: Rest & Recognition

🏆 The Weekly Lowdown

Health & Body: The Foundation Holds

  • The Scene: A short week, a cozy holiday, and a fucking cold 🤧.
  • Win: Despite feeling sick, I got all my priority workouts done and stuck to my meal prep. The core habits are truly automatic now.
  • Next: Listen to my body, prioritize rest to fully recover, and keep this thing going.

Personal Growth: Grace Over Guilt

  • The Scene: I was focused on rest and recovery.
  • The Insight: I didn’t get much done hobby-wise, and that’s okay. I’m not stressing because overall, I think I’m generally doing better than when I started.
  • Next: Return to creative hobbies gently, with no pressure.

Self-Care: The Non-Negotiable

  • The Scene: I spent the end of the week getting as much rest as possible to try to recover.
  • Win: I realized that my body was needing rest and was able to get some because of the holiday.
  • Challenge: Balancing quality rest with the mindless scroll.
  • Next: Continue to protect rest, and aim for more intentional relaxation (reading, meditating) over scrolling.

💡 Key Takeaways This Week

I think that I have been doing this since September and looking back, I am so proud of myself.

Not just for the habits and routines, but for the tracking, the accountability, and the commitment to progress over perfection. It has been a very rewarding experience for me and I’ve built up so much self-trust.

I also had the realization of how much I’ve changed from when I first started. When I began, I was tired of letting myself down constantly and being miserable with my own inaction.
Now, I’ve set a new standard for myself. It is my responsibility—and my privilege—to hold myself to it.

🎯 Onward to Week 14: The Final Month Begins

This week starts the last chapter of The Great Lock-In. My goal is simple: continue to show up as the person I’ve become.

I will honor the standard I’ve set by protecting my core habits, listening to my body, and moving forward with the confidence that I’ve been able to build up while being on this journey.

Let’s lock in for the final month.
