Today is day 30. And I feel great for the most part.
A bit sore.... but great.
Last night I ended up playing basketball for a bit.
But again, I can't do cardio + play ball on the same day so I just took it easy and put up some shots.
So much of how I play is dependent on outworking + hustling everyone else so doing that on an empty tank is too demanding on my body.
Today's workout was pretty challenging. All of the exercises that required me to but in a pushup position were very painful because my left wrist got hurt at basketball last week. Very hard to do mountain climbers and the dumbbell rows from push-up position. I tried to adjust to it, but ah well.
Something I forgot to mention was that we did our halfway body scans over the weekend.
Vivi and I both saw minimal results, but it was motivating to see how much work you have to do for just a bit of progress.
I think the biggest thing is the fact that I wasn't able to keep up with the diet during my last project.
I have to be more disciplined with that to maximize this challenge.
Vivi showed me a quote this morning that put things in perspective.
It was a post dedicated to this blogger's daughters' bday about motherhood but it spoke to life in general. She quoted her friend/relative about climbing a mountain. Something about life being just a bunch of steps. You just gotta treat each step with the best of your ability instead of dreading the massive task of climbing a mountain and giving up before you even start.
This spoke to me because I'm having a hard time following the diet. But I need to just commit to it each and every meal. Instead of thinking about it in the larger context. Once I think about it in the big picture, I start justifying eating shit food with "It's okay...it's just one day.... i'll work it off tomorrow.... this will be my last".
The combination of the results + that quote is definitely super motivating for me to finish strong in this challenge. We're paying so much money to do this, I have to dedicate myself to it and finish strong!!!!
