Journal #7 - 1/17/2026 - Lalitha
Today started early. I woke up around 6 and got ready for Black Belt class in the morning. Class took a lot of energy, but it felt good to get moving and knock it out first thing. After I got home, I went straight into my requirements and worked through a solid chunk of them. At some point I ended up falling asleep — not planned, just tired from everything. When I woke up, I did a little more work and kept things steady for the rest of the day. Later I helped my mom with a few things, and that was basically it. A simple, quiet day, but I still got what I needed to get done.
Hope everyone has a great day, and good luck for the rest of the cycle!
Thanks, Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷
