The starting point
Fatherhood began. Weight at 103 kg. Energy low, stamina poor, stuck in zombie mode.

The real shift
Shubhangini pushed hard enough that excuses started dying. Fitness stopped being a plan and became a standard.

HYROX Bangkok — better, not enough

Reflection
What changed
The transformation was never about willpower. It was about building systems that made consistency inevitable — calorie tracking, protein targets, no-zero days, weekly review loops. The same architecture thinking I apply to distributed systems, applied to my own life.
Shubhangini was the catalyst. She pushed when I was stuck. She held the standard when my discipline was weak. The racing happened because someone refused to let me stay comfortable.
