Water: 2/4 Meals: 7:00am - Coffee, 10:30pm - Coffee, Biscuit 1:30pm - Diet Coke, sandwich, grapes 3:30pm - Coffee, small muffin 6:00pm - Diet Soda, eggs, spam, noodles, veggies 6:30pm - Ice cream Fitness: Treadmill - 2.7 Miles Meditation: 5 Min Notes: Things are getting rougher. Wife is going through a lot going into her cancer surgery for next week. She is sad and distant, I try to be there for her, but she just wants to be by herself. It’s a horribly helpless feeling. Work is also going rough, looks like layoffs may come before the end of the year, so still getting resumes out there. The worst part is they are having us document our jobs so other people can learn how to do them. I need every day of insurance we can get for the cancer treatment, so going to stick it out as long as I can. For my mental health in all this, the anxiety is getting really rough. I have some medication to help, I need to get better at taking it instead of suffering through. With all this I am focusing on what I can do, which is be there for my family, work, and try to keep myself healthy as much as I can. I have been neglecting myself over the last week as we get closer to the surgery, but going to push through and make the effort to talk with people and get some exercise wherever I can. I heard recently that if you want to make a life changing fitness improvement, it’s going to take 130 hours of exercise. Seems like a reasonable goal, so going to start counting starting today of that 130 workout journey. Training Notes: Workout 1/130 2 Positives - - Did the workout - Convinced myself to start moving instead of sleeping or eating junk food. 1 Negative - - Was really struggling to get through the workout. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
