I really went into auto during week 10. It really all just seemed routine. I know, how crazy is that?
My exercise continued like clock work. On week days I got up at 5AM and got the first 45 minutes completed and then in the afternoons I went out and took a walk. On the weekends I changed it up a bit. One or two days I did a combination of indoor and outdoor. I also did one or two days of work outside in the yard and around the house. I was doing stuff like turning the compost bins (Shoveling a 4x4 bin of compost out and moving it to a new location) and moving stuff around in the shed and starting to pull summer stuff out. I will call that exercise/activity! One day Jason and I went for a long 2 hour walk on the canal. I am counting that as all of my activity for the day too!
Dare I say it was easy to get my exercise in? NO! I will not say that. It was routine, but it was not easy. I still woke up and pretty much immediately groaned just thinking about having to do that 5AM 45 minutes. I still drug my feet about going outside to get that walk in. I didn't WANT to do it, so it wasn't easy. It was routine though and I did it!The reading, now that was EASY!
The water was pretty routine also. There was one or two days where it came down to 4 or 5 PM and I realized that I was only halfway through my water for the day. Luckily I realized it early enough to easily rectify the issue!
Food. Food is still my Achilles heel. I stayed under my calorie goal. Barely. So it was a win. But my calorie goal was set at a level that I could sustain it for 75 days. It was set at a level that would maintain my weight. So I kept my goal....but didn't drop a pound during this week of the 75 Hard.
And with the end of week 10 (plus a few extra days), I have completed the 75 Hard. I am honestly kind of in shock that I did it. I learned a lot. I made some amazing strides in the right direction toward health and a healthier lifestyle. I.......well......stay tuned, I'll be posting a review of the whole thing and all of those lessons and thoughts. I just have to get them lined up in my head first!
