Accountability post:
As we enter in to week 3, I hope everyone’s still hanging strong. I’m super proud of myself for staying in the fight. Even with returning to work just before the challenge started (was off for 2 months after the birth of my second child in October), and the chaos of having a tiny tyrant of a 2 year old running around, I’ve been still able to will myself to get a workout in 5 days a week (double workouts on the 5th day!) at 930 or 10 pm no less when by all rights I could just call it quits for the day. But I REFUSE to give up this time. It’s too important. My wife and kids are too important. My health is too important. Down 6lbs thus far, I know the gains (er, losses?) will plateau, so trying my best to soak in the wins while I can!
Biggest win thus far has been on the diet side. Prior to starting I was having something sweet with every single meal. And in between meals when I would get bored. The holidays only exacerbated that with all the candy’s and cookies and treats around. In the last 2 weeks I had 2 cheat days: a pre planned trip for gelato with our oldest, and my buckeyes played in the CFP natty. Outside of those 2 days, all I had was 2 (yes, only 2) gummy bears, no other sweets. I’ve replaced the Rolos and peppermint bark with carrots, apples, and nuts.
As an added incentive, I decided I’m not allowed to cut my hair or shave until I lose 10 lbs. looking real scruffy right now lol.
