Three weeks ago, I decided to check into this challenge a friend was doing. I listened to the podcast that goes with it and was like… hell, ya I’m gonna do this.
I didn’t want to tell anyone because well, then I would have to actually do it and what if I failed.
I was also surprised at how excited I was over a pretty big challenge.
I started 21 days ago. I decided that this structure would support me well in what I want to create for myself.
This is about showing up for yourself every single day. Doing the damn thing and the only person I’m in competition is myself.
I took measurements as well as purchased an Apple Watch to keep track of my numbers.
My elliptical workouts consistently increase because my body is getting better.
My normal walking speed is 2 minutes faster than when I started.
Showing my kids that taking care of myself is important, to be the example of declaring and fulfilling on something I want to happen.
Giving myself the grace to adjust what needs adjusting (calories, exercise).
Listening to the voice that wants to let things slide but not allowing it to choose.
Feeling the emotions as I keep going, succeeding and committing. Celebrating myself each day as I check the boxes of what I’ve completed.
I’m a natural go getter. Acknowledging myself for what I’ve completed, celebrating myself as I keep going is a new way of being an achiever.
Even when my “bitch voice” wants to tell me that’s not enough and the scale hasn’t moved. (It really hasn’t but my measurements are down 12 inches + and performance is up.)
Im having fun seeing what I’m capable of and will be adding in a few other things to the list that I would like to commit to on a daily basis.
Only 54 more days to go!
