75 Hard Challenge - My Daily Journey

Day 23: February 6, 2022

Daily Quote: If it doesn't challenge you it won't change you.

One thing I really wish more people would try is living outside their comfort zone. Try something new, something you would not typically consider doing... be brave enough to suck at something for awhile. If you never challenge yourself, you will never know how strong you truly are. Just some thoughts for the day.

Day 22: February 5, 2022

Daily Quote: If we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane.

Today was a great day! My Spicy Chicken Runners group got togeher for a hike that I have had on my Hiking Bucket List for years. The hike was suposed to be a short 2 miles each way. However, in normal fashion, it ended up being just short of 8 miles because the snow forced us to park and walk to the trailhead.. 2 additional miles in the snow each way! This is what I call Fun-ture (fun torture). I had so much fun hanging out with my friends, it has been several weeks since our last successful get together. After that, I followed that up with 45 minutes of hiking around a my friends' new property. I am going to call that my indoor workout.

I was not as prepared as I should have been food wise today. I was not home most of the day and should have brought more food with me. As a result, I had an emergency half turkey sandwhich and a cheese, fuit, nut snack in the car on my way home. I was getting hangry. Otherwise, it was a little bumpy today but I did it!

Day 20: February 3, 2022

Daily Quote: My story is NOT who I was. My story is who I am and who I am becoming.

Today was a great day! I started off with a five minute meditation full of positive affirmations that got my mind started off in a postivie, loving mood. I keep reminding myself during my workout how grateful I am for the opportunity to be active and healthy today. I enjoyed my run so much it was hard not to dance the whole way (although there was some dancing that happened... and lots of singing). Yes, I am totally that person. I enjoyed all my meals today, especially the chickpea shrimp spaghetti for lunch. I have learned a ton already from my new book, The Automatic Millionaire and I am only 3 chapters into it. Overall, it's been a wonderful day 20! Thank you for following my journey. See you tomorrow!
