75 Hard: Week 10 plus a few days,

 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!
