My wife bought a Garmin and for ages I looked at it with pure envy. ⌚😂 Not normal envy either. Proper goblin-mode tech envy. I kept side-eyeing it thinking: “That little glowing rectangle knows things…” 👀 Eventually I thought: “Hang on… this would dovetail ridiculously well with RRMS and my inner nerd powers.” 🤣 So St1gzy entered the chat and got one. Now I’m convinced Garmin hired actual wizards instead of software engineers. The Body Battery feature is basically dark sorcery. It tracks: sleep stress heart rate recovery activity …and somehow predicts whether you’re about to: conquer the world or need a lie down after making toast. And annoyingly… it’s usually spot on. Before pacing I treated every day like an action film montage. Gym. Work. Kids. DIY. Zero brakes. Then suddenly my body would blue-screen itself by 4pm. 💀 Now I wake up and consult the sacred wrist oracle. Garmin: “Battery 82.” Me: “Excellent. We ride at dawn.” ⚔️ Garmin: “Battery 11.” Me: “Understood. Survival mode. Minimal stair usage. Emergency Weetabix protocol.” 🥣🤣 The mad thing is how accurate the sleep tracking is. Garmin: “You slept terribly.” Me: “No I didn’t.” Garmin: “You were awake at 2:17am negotiating with a toddler like a hostage mediator.” Me: “…fair assessment.” What surprised me most with RRMS is pacing isn’t weakness at all. It’s performance management. Formula 1 cars pit. Phones go into low power mode. Even Superman occasionally sits near a glowing rock. Humans are no different. And exercise genuinely CREATES energy for me. Sometimes I feel exhausted, do 6 mins on treadmill, and suddenly my nervous system reconnects like someone restarted the WiFi router in my spine. 🔌😂 You absolutely do NOT need a Garmin either. You can pace cheaply by: keeping regular sleep tracking fatigue patterns noticing stress build-up not spending tomorrow’s energy today But the watch gives receipts. 📈 Honestly the most humbling experience on earth is a tiny wrist computer basically saying: “St1gzy… respectfully… today you are not a Spartan warrior. You are a sentient jacket potato.” 🥔🤣
