Day 26 and wow!
Just wanted to make a post about how amazing this program has been already. Only 1/3 of the way through and I’m determined to finish this time after several failed attempts where the furthest I got was day 12. My mindset has completely changed during this attempt and I know I’m going to finish it no matter what. Ive had periods where I’m tired and exhausted for a few days but it always comes back up. I’ve wanted to quit but then I’ve already done my second workout and I’d be quitting over having to do something so small like finish my reading or drink another 0.5L and I’m like no I can do that.
It’s finally spring where I live and the trails are melting and the birds are chirping on my daily walks/runs and the sun hitting my face makes me so grateful that my body can serve me like this. My mental health and overall state of happiness has increased tenfold since day one and I can only imagine it will keep going up.
Last year I got to my (F25) heaviest weight of 208lbs and decided that I was done with crash diets and started on a path of slow and sustainable weight loss. Lost 35 lbs last year and was starting to fall back into my old habits in the past two months and regained 10 lbs. This program is exactly what I needed to prove to myself that I can do this & to start calling bullshit on all the stupid excuses I had been making.
I was at a fire/party this weekend at a friend’s house and I was sober and it really is crazy how much confidence 75 hard has given me already. I know I can do hard things and have more motivation and drive than anyone there. It really made me realize too just how ridiculous alcohol can make people and how much I don’t want to be like that at every social gathering. I got a promotion at work in the past week and I feel like things are finally coming together for me.
