Today was a good day.

I got things done, even though it took me longer then I wanted to.

I did weight lift for the second day in a row. I love weights and weight training and am so glad to be moving iron around again. Even if it isn’t as heavy as I want it to be.

I can’t really do much with my back or arms because I can’t hold anything in my left hand without hurting myself worse or having excruciating pain.

I did squats and then say where the gym put in a new rack with pull up handles. Cool thing about this rack is the handles are huge and that let me get a decent grip with my left hand. Then I was able to do something I haven’t done in at least 5 years! I did a pull up!

I know, crazy accomplishment right? I don’t know if it’s easier for me to get back to do things like that knows that I use to do 18 pull-ups at a time for score in the Marine Corps Personal Fitness Test (PFT). Now I’m back to one. But there will be more as I continue to lose weight and gain strength, endurance, and flexibility.

So I continue on my journey through the 75 Hard Challenge. What about you? Can you do the challenge? Can you make five simple things happen a day for 75 days? It will make your life better. All you have to do is do it.

75 Hard I will Conquer,
