Today is day 14! This marks two weeks into my journey. I’m just stopping to celebrate every milestone a little. I’ll probably be happy about tomorrow as 15 entire days I’ve done the program. It just seems like each number seems like a small reason to celebrate. So I’ll keep going.
This morning I had a doctor’s appointment and went to the VA. Wasn’t as bad as it could have been, but it took me about three hours total. I was able to read my 10 pages while I was there and outline my day. So I did get something productive done. And I did make phone calls for work on the way back. Not perfect but it was something productive. It’s part of 75 Hard Challenge, I have to be productive during the day with the rest of my life to have enough time to get everything else done in my life.
Water is easy today, only have way through the day and the first bottle is gone, need to refill it and drink it again. But that should be easy.
Food I’m still having trouble with today like yesterday. Roaming the refrigerator like a hungry lion on the prowl for something sweat and off my diet. So I did the same thing as yesterday. Wasn’t really hungry for lunch but ate it. Can of chili with onions and peppers cut up in it. That technique of eating what I’m suppose to whenever I go to the fridge for something is working. I don’t walk away empty handed, just with something that is part of the diet.
Workouts got reversed today. I did bench in the Gym this morning after the VA appointment so I can go walking with the family in the evening. My wife’s idea and it sounds good to me. I’ll see how that goes tonight. But it should be well. I think I’ll try and drive to a different spot to go for a walk. There is a cool hilltop park in the area that should be fun.
On the way for a good day. Every day is something new to beat or overcome with scheduling and work. Still going strong and will finish the same way. Just thinking about when I use to run. When I would get to the end of what I could do, I would fake it by running strong like I just started. It would be slower but I would look good. So now I’m running strong for the day. Some say fake it until you make it.
If I have to, I will. But I will make it to the end of this challenge one way or another. It is my mission in life right now and I will accomplish it.
75 Hard I will Conquer,
