"Pain is nothing compared to failure."

Guys I have been MIA over the holidays and to tell you the truth... there has been so much going on that it's been hard to know what to post. But ....... today I am back and I will try to post every day of this journey! Please join me if/when you can!

TODAY is DAY 1 of 80 DAYS of intense training. I am not talking just workouts. I am talking strict diet, timed nutrition, workouts and supplements coupled with personal development, meditation and a whole lot of growth! I am excited, nervous and scared ... I can't tell you today that I will make it 80 days but I will tell you that I feel great and this is why.

Today I set my alarm for 6:30, Sophie woke up at 5:45 but went right back to sleep. Normally I would have gone back to sleep after that but since my alarm was going off soon my mind started racing and when the alarm went I jumped out of bed and threw on my workout clothes. I lit a candle layed out a blanket and sat down to meditate. Kevin got up right behind me and went to the couch with his bible. As soon as I finished meditating, we both went to the kitchen grabbed a coffee and sat on the couch together ... it was only 30 minutes of our day but we started our day with such peace. We began the day in a way that made the rest of the day manageable; attainable.

The rest of the day has been a combo of healthy eating, working out, spending time with the kids and working... it has not been an easy day, per say. There is A LOT going on... but everything has been "do-able". I am not a morning person but I am telling you what... there is something to this whole - wake up with intent. Take time for yourself. Be introspective. Allow yourself to set your day up for success.

Life is hard.

So try it. Do it. You will never know what it is like until you do.

I don't know that I will be able to do it forever. I can't tell you that I will be successful. What I can tell you; I am going to try and TODAY I am grateful for this amazing program that my dear friend has brought into my life.

Cheers to 79 more days and who know... maybe another 80 after that!
