A real 75Hard 1 -3, finalized plan

Saturday 20' Strength, 20' core, and 5' mindfulness stretch
        Then 45' walk with LA to church

Sunday 45' walk run with LA
        Then 45' walk with LA to church

Monday 45' Yoga! (that's a lot for me) I needed the stretch
        Then 45' walk again

This weekend I had a plan. 
Diet: Write it down or type it in and follow that. So over the weekend I bought foods I had to wait on because I didn't plan it. And I did it! The post M3 and standing and surfing and BLTs is still an issue. 

Water: I didn't count coffee as part of my water this weekend. That's still not as hard as I expected but I think at work it will be! Having to PEE all the time!! Haha!!

I feel great. I like it so far, but I haven't really been tested yet. Travel, sickness, etc - not yet. 
I told Lev what I'm doing, so far he's holding me to sitting to eat dinner. I'm HAPPY with that. 

And the best so far: 129.6 this weekend!
Last Thursday 132. 


75Hard.3

WALK RUN in the rain! No Nova. Went to the church and back.
WALK 45 mins, more rain

Day 3. My mind keeps looking for ways to get around the "one miss and start over" rule".

The rain this morning is from a hurricane, Helene? Looks like it will be raining for awhile. I enjoyed the quit, time with myself, and the way the flow of water creates flat shingle-like ripples. How the water flows around leaves and creates waves. 

Good day, didn't really follow the diet. I haven't finalized on this. And I'm counting coffee!

75Hard.2

STRENGTH & PILATES 30 mins
WALK brisk 15 mins
WALK 45 mins

So that might be a concession I have to make. Sure I could have done another 15 mins of "indoor stuff", but the walk was the better workout to get moving and wake up. 

The water thing surprises me - not so bad? I get a lot in the morning. Coffee is not supposed to be included, however. I might have to make a fast decision on this. If I do the 75Soft, its 100 ounces of water. My coffee pot is 46 ounces. Ooh I just googled its 8x6 ounces, haha!!

LA has covid. Again. If it hits me I'm training anyway!

ETA: successful day. I'm surprised that the water isn't as bad as I thought. But COFFEE!
Did the afternoon walk with Nova, what a slow boo. 

Reading JBP Rule #4

75Hard.1

WALK RUN 45 mins
WALK 45 mins

Is this day 1 of a new challenge?

Follow BLE
Dring a gallon of water
Read 10 pages of non-fiction self-help type book
Exercise 2x a day for 45 mins, at least one outdoors
Daily progress photo

I managed all that today. I didn't have much issue with it, so I'll continue. I know some of the 2x 45 mins are going to have hard days - travel, sickness, etc. But that's the whole idea. It's SUPPOSED to be hard. 

Didn't pee as much as I thought I would!

Last night's dream; lunar full supermoon eclipse

CORE 10 mins!

I've been walking at least 10K a day (excepting the exceptions) but not running or exercising. I don't have the energy. Or desire? I think were I to start, the desire and habit would follow. 

I had a dream last night that I was hugely out of shape, putting on clothes and looking and feeling awful. 

I only rode by beloved bike a few times this year. I didn't run much, I reached 10-12 miles a week and just burned out for some reason. 

Some blame on the distraction of the new job (but this weekend is two months), the long commute (1.5 hours a day, or more), the life changes of new schedules and new everything. 

This weekend I'm going HOME for the first time since moving here. May? April? I miss home so much, but so much is changing there and I feel out of place. 

Great changes with other habits - 8pm, 3 fruits, 1 grain, and BLE. Some though are just hard to get rid of. Azog has a slow death, he's a challenge.

Post 2 years Monster, now for Azog

 No running. Walking, including a new lunch walk habit. 

Last three weekends we're traveling. This weekend we're home. My to do list is really short, the things left on it are bigger projects that I can see a path towards. This weekend we're home!! I will make the most of it.

LA made changes, he's now kinda OMAD. I made changes. Today is day 2 of no phone with meals. No surfing, browsing, etc. Yesterday I did lunch with the phone. A bad habit that needs to go!! Dinner last night more of the same door-to-Moria for an hour. But no phone. Sadly a JAMA in the mail. SIT! Relax! It's stresful this way.

September. New moon. 6 years. what next? 2 years!

Hey I went for a run Wednesday with Nova! RUN 1 mile

That's my first run since LA and I did the trail run...a month ago? Felt great. Let's do it again. 

So Sept 1 was The Day.
Then Sept 2 new moon was The Day.
Then Sept 4 6 years was The Day. 

I ended that last day the same way I did 6 years ago. With sunflower seeds and regret. 

What's next?
Sept 7th is 2 years. That certainly was A Day. 

WTF do I need to get CHANGED and out of Moria?
