Upped my workout game today. 45 min AM walk before the day got started.

Then a “time trial” for the mile at the High School track. Clocked a 7:15 mile. The first time I ran this summer was on June 14 and it was at a 8:30 pace. I’m happy with the progress.

Then did intervals on the rower to get the second 45 minute workout and went swimming for 40 minutes with the kids.

And since I was up before 5am, I’m beat.

A bit harder to find time for the second workout, but went for a walk after the kids went to bed.

For the Street Parking challenge, it needed to be a rest day, so nothing too taxing.

Still fasting past noon and feeling great in the mornings.

Podcast listening got to 53, which is the lowest it’s been in years! Hope to make it into the low 40s next week.

A bit harder on the weekend versus during the week. Glad I walked in the morning before my work shift.

Great hard rowing workout before heading to dinner with Mike and Lori.

All items checked off and early to bed 😊

Another easy day hitting the goals.

I’m really enjoying the 45 minute walk each morning to start my day with a good podcast.

Today’s workout was a double workout.

300 calories on the Airdyne followed by six rounds of 24 air squat and 12 pushups.

Let’s bring it day 6!

Today was a “rest” day. I ended up doing two 45-minute walks and a Street Parking maintence stretch for the calves and ankles.

All the other tasks were easy peasy today 🙂

Still going strong.

45 minute walk while the family slept and a 11am Airdyne bike challenge for the two workouts.

Had dinner with friends and resisted wine and dessert, which was easy on day 3.

Little bit more of a challenge today. Did the CHESS drop off and had almost exactly 45 minutes until my first work shift.

And 10 minutes into my walk, it was pouring, so I turned around, grabbed an umbrella and finished.

I was tied up from 9a-2p, then it was school pickup, so I decided to fast until dinner time.

I picked up the veggies and got my second workout in right before our nanny went home. Then with the two huge time things out of the way, I was able to enjoy watching part of Cars 3 with the kids before dinner and bedtime.

I was 3/4 the way done with the water by noon – so no problem there 🙂

Finishing up reading this evening (both a non-fiction book and studying the Bible which is a extra task I’m tackling at the same time).

Starting today, I’ll be beginning a 75 day challenge called 75Hard. Which will end the day before Halloween.

It’s a pretty simple concept:

• Two 45-minute workouts and one must be outside
• 10-minutes of reading non-fiction
• Progress picture every day
• Drink one gallon of water
• No alcohol and no cheat meals

My friend Peder posted about this on Instagram and this is exactly the thing I need to motivate myself to get back into shape.

As soon as our nanny got here, I went for a 45 minute walk and listened to some podcasts.

Then at noon, I did a Street Parking Endurance workout for my second 45-minute work.

The reading, progress picture and no alcohol is going to be simple; it’s going to be the no cheat meals that will be tough for me, but mentally, I’m ready for it.

One day down, 74 to go!
