Finding Me Friday: Footsteps Forward

🎵 Song of the Day: “Hard to Handle” – The Black Crowes 🎵

The First Rep

Well folks, they say life’s about putting one foot in front of the other. The problem is, sometimes I trip over both feet and faceplant. But hey—if you’re still moving, even if you look ridiculous doing it, you’re still ahead of where you were standing still. And if women don’t find you handsome, at least they should find you stubbornly persistent.

Waking Up & Tobito’s Motivation

This morning I woke up groggy, sore, and asking myself the eternal question: Do I really have to do this today?

Before I could answer, Tobito blasted into the room like he had snorted straight caffeine. He was yelling:

“Let’s go! Rise and grind! It’s Friday—footing doesn’t find itself!”

Meanwhile, the Refried Avenger stood in the doorway, arms crossed, giving me the slow nod of a man who’s seen too many motivational speeches end with pizza deliveries. Still… it worked. I got up, got moving, and remembered: yeah, I am finding my footing.

Recap & Reflection

This week was less about breakthroughs and more about not slipping backwards. And honestly, that’s progress.

Clothes feel looser.

Lifts feel stronger.

The mirror shows a guy who’s not giving up.

Footing isn’t a single moment—it’s a bunch of messy steps that somehow add up to something solid.

Tobito & The Refried Avenger: The Case of the Missing Footing

Now, here’s where things went sideways. When I said I was “finding my footing,” Tobito took it literally.

Within minutes, he had a trench coat on, fedora tilted sideways, magnifying glass in hand. He declared himself Detective Tobito, P.I. and stormed off to solve The Case of the Missing Footing.

His investigation? A disaster. He interrogated my blender for thirty minutes because he thought footing might be hiding in a protein shake. He tore through the couch cushions, interrogated the vacuum cleaner, and at one point I swear he tried to get a written statement from the cat.

Three hours later, he was hopelessly lost in his own “clues,” muttering things like, “What does a footing even look like?”

That’s when the Refried Avenger swooped in, cape flapping like he had his own wind machine. He dragged Tobito out of his detective spiral and said,

“Listen—footing isn’t something you find. It’s something you build, step by step.”

And just like that, the case was closed.

Daily Victory Lap

Today’s win: I showed up, I pushed forward, and my footing—while not perfect—is better than it was yesterday.

Closing Reflection

So yeah, finding footing isn’t about luck. It’s about stubbornly taking the next step, even when your “detective” is interrogating kitchen appliances and your superhero sidekick is sighing in the background.

At least I know one thing: as long as I keep moving forward, I’m not lost.
