Last year I did #75Hard. It took me 174 days to complete it. When I finished I had gone from 244 pounds down to 172 pounds. Not everything was great though.
I wanted that weight gone (needed it gone), but I lost it to quickly and that left me physically weaker. I had been doing two exercises a day on a very restricted diet. It took me a while to get that strength back.
Mentally though, I had come out stronger. I came out of it with more confidence and more desire. A drive for better relationships, more income, and a better life. I hadn't felt desire for a better life like that in a while. I had greater interest in connecting with others. A eagerness to preform better in all areas of my life. And now it seems as though I have lost some of that. Little by little it has diminished.
Before I did #75Hard last year, I had become complacent. Coasting through life not taking risk. Not pushing for more. I had settled. I had listened to others tell me how great things were, even though I had settled for mediocrity.
After I finished #75Hard I kept doing some of the stuff. Slowly doing less and less. Over the last two months I haven't been consistent with my workouts at all. Feeling as though I am wasting my life again. Now I think about how much I have wasted over the years. Trying to fill the voids in my life with stuff that doesn't really matter.
Today was day 2 of this years #75Hard. I am doing it again. I am doing it better. Fixing the things I did wrong last year. A better diet and a plan for what I want to accomplish. I need to build up my drive, that desire and hunger for something more, something better. I have felt that complacency coming back. I don't like it and this is the only way I know how to fix myself. This isn't a new year's resolution. It is battle with myself for something better. I guess one could say that I am looking for a fight. Wanting to be tested.
