30 day challenge update - Day 14

Sorry i've been pretty silent for 13 days. Life has been crazy busy with working 5 days a week in the office, the kids, and now I am trying to build a Young Living essential oils business in my "spare" time. So as you can see life is busy. Heck, I am writing this post @ midnight while in bed in my iPad. Typing on the iPad' fun times!!! Now on to the meat if this post. 

So, the 30 day challenge has been going well on 2 out of the 3 fronts. I've walked for 30 minutes or more pretty much everyday. On the days I did not walk I complete some body weight wod, since I do not have very much equipment. Also, I've spent 15 minutes everyday on improving myself. I've been reading two books during breaks at work and a few minutes every night. The first book is "The 15 invaluable laws of growth" by John C Maxwell and the 2nd book is "The new era of Network Marketing by Dave Nelson. Sine I've just really started both books there is not much I can tell about either on of them, but I do believe I will shift my focus to the network marketing book while I start ramping up the essential oils business. 

There are no pictures or results to post for the wods. I am pretty crappy at remembering to bring stuff to record my previous workout. Heck just realized i should probably snap a pic before leaving the garage.

The only front I am losing to is tracking my meals. I think I fully tracked one day and then it all went to hell in a hand basket. I am not sure I am going to be able to do this part. Hell its just so dull and I've eats like crap. Since I have not planned my meals I've had no lunches to take to work. This requires me to go out and find food. I normally go for the quick and cheap option with sushi or Indian cuisine tossed in the weekly mix. I guess I don't want to see the amount of calories I put into my body on a daily basis, but sooner or later I need to hold myself accountable. 

Tomorrow is a new day, so I will do my best to track my food intake. The 15 minutes of self help will be easy, since, I have to be at Firestone @7 am for a oil change. I am taking my laptop and and work on my EO business. As far as working out goes I am not sure what I am going to do for exercise. I will see how I feel in the morning, but it will get done!!!

30 Day challenge and such!

I've had a problem with commitment since before I can remember. I've never stuck to anything and I am not sure why. There has always been this nagging fear when I start things. I'm pretty sure we all have it at times, but everything scares me when it comes to commitment. I normally end up talking myself out the commitment. Heck, it's kinda crazy that I've been married for 6 years. My wife is amazing and puts up with my non-committal self. I try to change, but always seem to fail or let something get in the way. I never fight hard enough for what I want to get accomplished.

This blog was suppose to be something to keep me motivate, but I made excuses as to why I could not blog every week. I've made thousands of excuse to why i could not do something. So, for the month of November I am going to set a few goals and do my damnedest to stick to them. These goals will be listed below.

Fitness: Exercise 30 minutes for 30 days.
-- There is no set way I need to get the 30 minutes. 30 is the minimum number of minutes for each day. There is no set time of day this needs to get down, it just has to get down. I am not to busy to get in 30 minutes. ***Bonus*** incorporate a CrossFit movement that I would like to work one. Since, I am not able to make it t the Box this month. I will work on a movement to try to Get ready for my return in December. There is not much I can do with out weights, but there are Burpees, Double-Unders, Mobility, and Box Jumps. This should get interesting.

Today I walked for 45 minutes. Trying to start the month off right!!!

Food: I will keep track of my food for 30 days. No matter what I eat it will be recorded.
--Food For 11/01 is listed below. I know it was a horrible day for food. I need to clean this up ASAP. 


Self: Spend 15 minutes for 30 days working on improving myself be it by reading self-help books, some form of non-fiction or work related material.

These are the three areas I want to focus on this month.  It seems like a lot, but I am going to take it one day at a time and push through. I will make it through this month and we will re-evaluate next month. Then, in January my Wife, Sister-In law and I will be doing another whole30.
