4d • July Challenge 2026!
Friday Check In July 10th
The biggest change I'm seeing is how I eat. I always thought I was dialed in with my nutrition, but tracking has really shown me now many extra calories and carbs are stacking up with small snacks here and there. I'm now passing on little treats solely because I don't want to look up the macros. I'm down 10 pounds in 10 days. All thats left are these pesky love handles!
I fell short twice this week with reading. I missed out on quality pre-sleep time with Liv because I had to hammer out ten pages which easily could have been done earlier in the day. Both times I was under a little influence and not getting the most from the reading.
Above and Beyond is the steps. I've added the weighted vest to most of my walks.
I will continue to eat better after this challenge. I've done a handful of different challenges and I always carry on the easiest aspects. But this time I'm going to carry on the hard one. It helps that it's the one showing me the most benefits.
One more note, no social media has been much easier than I thought! I'm also hugely feeling less anxious. However, I am still craving that cheap dopamine. Without social media and snacking I've found myself obsessing with upgrades to my truck. While more productive than scrolling, I need to alchemize this into something that is more productive in moving the needle forward. I constantly find myself asking if this is distraction or aligned action, and sadly it's still too often a distraction. Awareness is the first step!
I'm in for 75 Hard with Mike after this challenge. It'll be my third round, but I'm ready 💪
