Alright, hurdle jumped! I am still sick but powering through. My new goal is to accept that I had a down week (life happens! the past doesn't have to stop me in the future) and to continue the goal as planned. So far, so good! (As an upside, being sick actually caused me to lose some stubborn weight which is helpful for my overall goal of six pack abs)

I hit a pretty big hurdle this week, I caught a severe infection which led to double ear infections and was bedridden for 4 days. My plan is to take this week off and continue anew next week potentially scaling for health considerations. My momentum this week was broken but my spirit isn't!

Done! Details on my challenge thread :-)

Nice work Briniel sticking with it! :-) I appreciate the new learnings. I hate push ups too :-)

Thanks for the kind words Iridian, AngelaTheGeek and Archon :-D I appreciate it! So far I am 100% on the challenge, I found myself making up some excuses but having this board to keep me honest helped. (Thanks guys!) Oddly, the diet has been the easiest part thus far (very few cravings as of yet! But it is early), I have been really sore but pushing through. One thing I need to improve on is drinking more water. It is easy in principle to stay hydrated but difficult to execute on when my schedule gets full. Any tips on staying hydrated? I am already carrying a water bottle around with me.

This is my first challenge and I am really excited! I am starting a bit late but won't be using that as an excuse. Now is the time! Main Quest: Get six pack abs by end of this year. Over the next six weeks (ending July 19) I will do all of the following: Quest 1: Complete four Freelytics workouts per week Quest 2: Complete five 30 min ab workouts per week Quest 3: Walk 10,000 steps per day five days a week Quest 4: Continue current diet of protein and vegies six days a week Motivation: Positive peer pressure and self discipline! I travel frequently and I am using this forum to keep me strict :-) Good luck everyone!
