7/25 Not my best day. Failed the drinks one night a week thing since I went to happy hour then Saturday I am drinking some beer at a metal show. I can produce better results next week for sure. Also no dumbbells yet but soon.

Currently reading a Jimmy Buffet book called "A Salty Piece of Land". Its just a fun adventure style book. Listening to Wool. Spanish, and actually just booked a trip to Mexico in February. So for the beans. I sauteed a whole chopped sweet onion and some chopped up carrots in a generous amount of EVOO After the onions started turning clear I added some chopped garlic cloves, maybe 6 After a few minutes tossed a spoon of better than boullion veggie flavor Poured in 4 cans of cannelinni beans, two had the juice not drained from them, two were drained/rinsed added a decent amount of chopped dill and chopped parsley simmer for about 45 minutes then it is done! I often take for granted living next to the ocean and seeing the turtles is a reminder that I am very lucky.

7/27 Not my best day. Skipped the morning routine since I played hockey late. Didn't lift because I was a little sore in my back still but this is excusable. I meet a friend for lunch at a cuban spot and made it my breakfast/lunch. Dinner was I cooked for some family visiting from out of town.

7/26 Good day yesterday. Didn't do audible while walking because fiance came with me. We saw two big sea turtles returning to the ocean after nesting. Ended up playing two games of hockey since the team after me needed subs. I know this means no morning routine the next morning because I will be out until past midnight but hockey is only once a week and figured this was a fair trade.

7/25 Didn't start my morning routine yet nor did I workout since I kind of just thought up my challenge in the afternoon. However I have been eating healthy so here are two dinners from recently and a meal prep batch of Greek beans. lamb chops, mushrooms, peppers, grilled apples, and whole grain rice mix Bourbon salmon, asparagus and whole grain rice mixture Greek beans

Long time no posting. I have been busy and am starting to once again prioritize my health and wellness. So for this challenge I want to focus on 3 things. Establishing a morning routine Eating healthy Exercising daily My mourning routine daily should hopefully consist of Read 10 pages of a book Duolingo lesson Walk for 45 minutes and listen to audible Post on my NF thread Eating healthy Whole foods, primarily Mediterranean If it is already in my pantry/freezer it is ok, there is nothing horrible and there is not much Alcohol one night a week and 3 drink max Exercising daily Dumbell workouts 5 nights a week Hockey one night Golf one night Now I have a pretty sore back so I am unsure when the dumbells will start. Tomorrow is hockey so perhaps Thursday. Other than that I am eating healthy today and starting my morning routine tomorrow. Expect lots of dinner pictures.

2/7 homemade pita, baba ganouche, dolmas, sheep mozzarella and some crackers for my dad oxtail stew and ikarian black eyed peas with carrots roasted peppers in olive oil with grated garlic These were all made Sunday night by myself for a family get together, I can post recipes if anyone is interested. Daily: My morning routine A workout later in the day(lifting or cardio) Lifted Eating right No alcohol

Love me some rucking, I dunno how much I will be doing on this challenge but some at least.

Hey frens!

Time outside is my favorite time.

Ok, now following

Following along. Cute pupper and I love your setting(Owlshire). In terms of gardening have you followed Huw Richards? He has a great youtube and I have a couple of books by him that are great.

Me the past two years I woke up this morning at 185.2 That may be my highest ever. So basically I need to start moving and eat right. No theme to this challenge just a few basic principles and the help and support of this community. Daily: My morning routine A workout later in the day(lifting or cardio) Eating right No alcohol Morning Routine Walk around the blockish. Some mornings I do 45 mins, sometimes I do less. That is all. If I do this I always hit at least 10k steps later in the day. Read. Read a book for some period of time. That's it. Duolingo 50XP When I start my day like this it generally goes really well after. It also prompts me to get to bed early so I can get up early and do these things. Workout 3 Days a week I'll do compound barbell lifts. The other 4 days I will do some form of cardio. Some examples might include: Running Biking Paddle boarding Hiking Rucking Hockey Tennis This will likely be done right after work. Eating Right Is it Mediterranean? Specifically Ikarian. Is it Paleo Those are my two approved eating methods. I am loving eating Mediterranean food, specifically Ikarian. Ikarian is mostly veggies/fruits, lots of beans, some whole grains, and a metric ton of EVOO. Very little fish and poultry, very little dairy. I am still eating paleo since that is in my freezer and cabinet. I will not be buying any more paleo items though. When out to eat, I will just try to make good choices. I went and had Thai with my GF for lunch this past week and ordered the ginger dish with shrimp and brown rice upcharge. I ate half and then took half home for later. Normally I would order pad thai and eat the whole thing and that is why I am in this mess now. No alcohol None. However I will cook with it if called for it since a lot of my recipes call for it. IPA is good, but it makes me fat. Maybe after this challenge I will reincorporate red wine into meals like the Mediterranean.

Also, my 72 year old mom has done both days with me.

Day 2 Glad to see soo many doing this. Keep up the good work all!
