Day 2 of 45 Day Challenge
Yesterday was tough. It was not so much the 45 Day Challenge, but the depression that the initial shift can trigger. By the end of the day, I was feeling pretty down. I ate dinner after getting home, and went to bed.
The good news is that I woke up in a pretty good place. Meditation was really good, and reading was inspiring. (I'm reading Ernest Holmes This Thing Called You for a class I am taking). Finally, my weigh in showed 191.0.
45 Day Hard
Today I started a 45 day hard program. This is partially based on the 75 day hard program (of which I completed a few months ago.
75 days were tough. Hence the name 75 day hard. Here are the rules for my 45 days...
Every Day for 45 Days in a Row
Drink One Gallon of Water
Exercise 45 Minutes
Read or Listen to Non-Fiction 15 Minutes
Do some eating regimen (I'm doing Paleo), no alcohol
15 Minutes of Fret Work
One Selfie
The only changes that I made were that I reduced the exercise down to 45 minutes, and I added 15 minutes of Fret Work.
What I mean by Fret Work is that I have been playing guitar for over 45 years now, and I never memorized the fret board. I feel that in 45 days, spending 15 minutes per day on it, I will finally memorize it.
In doing the 75 day hard program, I felt strong and dropped 25 pounds. Since then, I have gained back 13. This morning I weighed in at 192.2. My target is to get to 180.
Wish me luck!
